I am so sorry to everyone, I know, I haven't updated in AGES! I've been quite busy this summer, but I'll have more time to update now, mostly on weekends though, sorry. Anyway, I'll add another new chapter in a couple of days. For now, enjoy this one.

"Ok, let me get this straight, you're Sinedd's son

"Ok, let me get this straight, you're Sinedd's son!" Laughed Jaina, taking a bite of her ice cream.

Cale stared at his, stirring it around the bowl with a spoon. "Yeah."

"Wow, our dad's were like rivals," grinned Jaina.

"Yeah, I know."

Jaina looked at him. "Does he talk about my dad?"

"Yes," Cale admitted, "Sometimes, but not to me."

"Who too?"

"The people he works for."

"What does he do for a living?" Asked Jaina.

Cale just shrugged, avoiding her gaze.

"Is it a secret?" Jaina asked, half laughing, half snapping.

"I dunno," Cale mumbled.

"Ok…" Jaina took another bite out her ice cream. He seemed a bit uncomfortable talking about his dad, so she racked her brains for another interesting topic she could bring up.

"So, you never knew your dad?" Cale asked quietly.

"No, he…left…before I was born." Jaina replied slowly.

"What happened, between him and your mom?"

"Nothing. My mom said that he just disappeared for absolutely no reason."

"And you have no idea where he is?" Cale asked.

"Not a clue."

They sat in silence again for a few moments, before Jaina asked: "What's your dad like? What's like having a dad?"

"Honestly, not that great," Cale said with a sigh.

"What's wrong?" Jaina asked, suddenly concerned.

"My dad's great. Or he was. But, he gets a lot of pressure from work, and he has a tendency to take it out on other people a lot."

"I see," Jaina replied, although she really didn't see it at all.

"Where the hell is she?" Muttered Brandon.

Ryland shrugged, chewing his lip, watching his brother pacing.

"Mom's gonna kill us," Brandon murmured angrily.

"I don't know why she'd be so worried. We're fifteen!"

"Well," Brandon replied, frowning, "Maybe it has something to do with dad going missing."

"We don't know if he did go missing," sighed Ryland.

Brandon hissed angrily but didn't say anything,

"Well, why don't we just tell her the truth, Jaina went off with Aiden, big deal. She's old enough to do what she wants." Ryland suggested.

Brandon glared at him. "You must be joking! Mum would shoot us for letting her go off alone with him. She'd literally skin us alive!"

Ryland sniggered and grinned slyly. "She's not as violent as you portray her to be."

He stared at them from a short distance, not quite able to hear what they were saying, watching them through narrow slits. So this was there plan? They were getting the boy to do their dirty work. Who was the girl? She seemed familiar…her face…her eyes…her hair…the bracelet on her wrist. He froze. His bracelet. She was wearing his bracelet…Mei's bracelet. His gritted his teeth. Why? Who was she? Was she…? No…impossible. She couldn't be. Not his…it wasn't possible. Was she hers. She had to be. But she could be his. She had to be…yet she couldn't be…Did they know? About her? They had to. Was that why he was with her?
