I woke up a few hours later and stretched. I smiled remembering that she was finally awake. I rolled over to look at her and gasped. Her bed was empty.

"MUM!" I screamed as I jumped up and raced to the bathroom. No she wasn't in there. I turned and realised the window was opened. My stomach dropped. No way could she have climbed out there. There was no way she could have survived if she did. I heard thundering footsteps and turned to see Mum, Dad and Percy at my door.

"George what is wrong?" Mum asked. I swallowed thickly.

"She's gone." I mumbled.

"Who son?" Dad asked. I nodded towards the empty bed and they gasped.
"How? She was passed out." Mum mumbled. I shook my head.

"She woke up last night after I gave her the last dose of medicine." Even to me my voice sounded monotonous. "She wanted to leave but I told her she couldn't. she kept saying she couldn't stay here so I gave her a sleeping potion that I was going to have later on so I could sleep then I went to bed and woke up and she was gone." I felt…strange. Empty even, like I had felt a few days after Fred's funeral. Oh don't get me wrong it was nothing like losing and burying him but there was this strange emptiness that sat in my chest. I didn't understand it since I don't even really know her that well nor had I had a decent conversation with her. Dad clapped me on the shoulder.

"Come on George. We'll go out and find her. Chances are that she hasn't gotten far especially when she is still so torn up." I nodded numbly and followed him out of the room.

"Mum and I will have a look around the house and the yard." Percy said as Mum nodded. I tried to smile at him but failed.

"Thanks Percy." I mumbled. He nodded and patted my shoulder. I grabbed my jacket and slipped into shoes (I was already dressed since I realised that it was stupid putting on pyjamas since I barely slept anyway) and met dad in the garage. We climbed in and drove off. I kept imagining her lying on the side of the road passed out or held captive again being attacked. I couldn't help it and it was making me sweat bullets. We drove around for the next three hours or so, covering all around the house, the town and further. There was no sign of her. We did see a large 'thing' lying on the side of the road that made my heart stop. Dad pulled over and thank god it was just a dog that had been hit (not that it was great that the dog had been hit but great at the fact it wasn't Enya.) we pulled up in the garage and I sighed loudly.

"Sorry we couldn't find her George." Dad said patting my knee. I nodded unable to really form words. "Maybe Mum and Percy have found her." We got out and went into the kitchen where Mum and Percy were sitting. I took one look at their faces and walked up to my room. They were disheartened and sad. It was obvious they had found nothing.

"George…"Mum tried to grab me but I pulled away. I needed to be alone right now. I shut the door behind me and leaned against it sighing loudly. How can a girl who was out cold for a month, beaten almost to death and given a strong sleeping potion manage to climb out a window and escape completely? I pushed off the door with another sigh and walked over to my bed when a flash of white from her bed caught my eye. It was a note. How the hell did I miss that before? I picked it up and sat on the bed as I read it.

To the kind man with the blue eyes,

Forgive me for leaving so suddenly but I had to leave. If I stayed you all would have been in terrible danger. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your kindness and help. I will be okay on my own from here. Perhaps one day we shall meet again until then do your self a favour and forget me. It would be best on everyone.

Yours,

E

What the hell was that about? Putting us in danger? What the hell did she mean? I shook my head and ran my fingers through my hair. This was one confusing girl! Who the hell would want her hurt or dead so badly that she would be scared of the people who looked after her? And what did 'E' mean? Was it her name or did it stand for Enya? Urg so many questions! I laid back and sighed. So much for working out the mystery, instead she just made it bigger and more complicated. Why couldn't women just be simple instead of having to be a mystery? And now just when I had a chance to solve this mystery she ups and leaves! What the hell am I suppose to do now?
