"I need to speak with you" Heather said the minute she walked through the office door.

Upon seeing her, Joy looked shocked and scared at the same time. She rushed over to the door, closed it and locked. Heather noticed that her friend's hands were trembling as she rushed over to the blinds and closed them. Heather stiffened as Joy slowed down to a stop but didn't seem to have looked any better from when the first time she had seen her.

"Heather, you're alright? What are you doing here?"

"I came to ask you what is going on"

"Heather"

"Please" Heather took a step forward, "No more riddles, I'm not one of your clients"

"You should be out looking for the person who was resurrected" Joy responded.

Heather swallowed and looked down to her watch. She had only an hour before her shift started at the barber shop. Whatever she wanted from Joy, she had to get it out of her right now. Heather turned to the scared psychic and walked up to her desk.

"Joy, its Sally Malik"

"I know who that is, Heather" Joy nodded, "But you needed to find out for yourself"

"Then help me with this" Heather encouraged, "You are one of the best psychics I know, we can do this together"

"I'm not strong enough"

"And you think I am?"

"I know you are"

"How could you possibly know that?" Heather placed her hands on her hips.

"Heather"

"Tell me"

"Because you were grieving when you turned to magic. That empty space was enough to fill your body with insight and to become a better person" Joy explained, "Your barrier was done and you were vulnerable, leaving magic to come in and protect you like no one I had ever seen"

Josh sighed and closed his eyes as he tried to calm himself into seeing his wolf once again. The woods immediately showed up the second his mind was calm. He looked around, waiting for the beautiful creature to come around again. He could tell that his wolf was near… he could sense it.

It was almost like as if he had a satellite on the creature and could feel him running around, avoiding him. His mouth went dry as he walked around the woods, trying to make the beast come closer to him. Josh turned and noticed the wolf was staring straight at him, he looked bigger from the last time he saw the creature. Josh let a sheepish smile cross his face as he reached out to the wolf to try and pet him.

Just when he thought he was close enough to touch the beast, it turned around and ran off into the distance. Josh watched with a sad filled heart as the animal disappeared into sight. He wanted to communicate with the animal but he didn't really know how. He didn't think that his animal was even alive until last week.

He opened his eyes and found himself sitting back in the woods once again; he let out a sigh of frustration and rubbed his temples. His nostrils picked up something that smelled really good and turned to see Pete smiling down at him. Josh rolled his eyes as he somehow envied the man that was in front of him. Josh straightened up and glanced at his phone, expecting to see a test or missed call, only to find that the time was the only thing on the screen.

Josh sighed and put his phone away, his mind drifting over to Heather and Maria. He couldn't help but not think about the day in the park.

Heather was very quiet throughout that time but whenever she spoke up, she only talked about Sally and a little bit about Aidan. It took him three years to take notice that whenever someone pressures about his unique roommates, that person might know something.

"Hey, Pete. It didn't work" Josh finally said.

"Don't worry, Josh. Your beast will come to you in due time" Pete told him.

"I don't know what I'm doing wrong. He won't even try to come near me" Josh shook his head, "For some reason he's afraid of me"

"Josh, how would you feel if your other half tried to kill you?"

"Scared?"

"Josh. You would've felt terrified" Pete told him.

"I guess you're right, Pete" Josh responded.

"Not only that, you keep on meditating. It knows you're looking for him just as much as you can sense him in your mind" Pete responded, "How would you feel if that person kept on invading your space?"

"But you told me to always meditate"

"Of course, it's the only way you will get him to get used to you" Pete advised.

"What if he doesn't want to get used to me?" Josh asked.

"He will" Pete smiled.

"How did you find me again?" Josh asked.

"Josh, you're stuff of legends"

"Me?"

"You're a vampire slayer and a person who killed his maker!"

"Neither of which I am happy about"

"I just had to come into Boston to see for myself. I was curious to see how you were holding up" Pete told Josh, making him stiffen a little bit, "But then I noticed that bandage on your arm and knew it was only a matter of time. So I figured that maybe I should stick around and help you until your first turn. You know- just to see you through"

"Nora sent you"

"I found her about four months back"

"How is she?"

"She's doing very well, Josh! She's embraced her wolf and took someone under her wing or paw I should say" Pete laughed, "She talks about you"

"Is she going to come back?"

"That's up for her to decide"

"It always was" Josh said with a little bit more of a bitter tone than he wanted to put in.

"I don't think she should come around anyways, seeing how you have a new lady friend"

"What? No! Heather is just a friend" Josh let out his own chuckle, "We knew each other back in New York. We just never really talked until recently"

"I was talking about Sally"

"Oh! Well… shit" Josh sighed as he felt his stomach twist into knots, "I guess I am starting to have feelings for her then"
