Chapter 11 Harmoni; Missing pictures

I had gotten the text from Izzy and Storm, I just wasn't sure that I wanted to dig. I held the strange feelings like they did. The worst one I got was when I looked at my husband Ian, I got a strange mix of lust and fear. I shouldn't be afraid of my own husband but it was there. It wasn't like he abused me or did anything to make me afraid but I couldn't help it. Ian was the best husband I could hope for, he was there when I needed him, he always remembered birthdays, anneversaires and other important dates but when I looked into those chocolate brown orbs I saw that somewhere inside him he was somehow nasty. I thought that if I started to poke into the unforgotten I would somehow provoke him and I wasn't sure I could handle that. I reasoned that if we couldn't remember it then it wasn't worth remembering and there was a reason we couldn't remember it and I figured it was all bad.

"You ok Harm?" Ian asked cutting through my thoughts. His eyes reflected nothing but love but I thought that if I told him what they had sent it would set him off.

"Yeah"

He narrowed his eyes "Are you sure? You seem upset or possibly distracted"

I let out a sigh, possibly making the worst decision I had ever made. I decided to tell him everything. Who know's maybe he could help. "Izzy sent me this text"

He looked at my phone his face twisted into confusion "What does that mean, doing some digging?"

"She reckons that she has found someone that could help us remember what we can't remember"

Ian just looked at me, not saying a word and thats when I got that fear of him again. I could just see him snapping and doing something truely evil. Instead he took me in his arms and kissed the top of my head.

"Just tell me where to start"

"You want to help?" I looked at him not believing it,

"Course I do" He looked at me confused "Why wouldn't I want to help?"

I decided to tell him what I had been feeling, ok that was probably my worst mistake.

Ian looked at me like I had just stabbed him in the heart "How could you think I would ever hurt you?"

"I'm sorry Ian really, but thats just what happens. Trust me I hate it because I love you more than anything"

He took my in his arms and kissed my lips tenderly "Harm I love you and I would never hurt you. I'd rather die than hurt you"

"I love you too Ian" As always that feeling was put to rest. For now.

Suddenly he lept up his face twisting with glee. "I'll be right back. Stay right there"

He ran upstairs for something, when he got back he held the family album. I don't know how that would help.

He just shrugged "Maybe it could help. Whoever sent that money is connected to you somehow, maybe they got snapped"

"Couldn't hurt I guess" I opened the book and glanced over images of me, Jamie, Izzy and Storm when we were little.

I suddenly gasped "OMG! Ian look at this!" I grabbed the picture out. It was a group shot of the family. Dad, Hunter, aunt Steph and my stepmother Trish were in the back. Kneeled in front was me, Izzy, Jamie and Storm. The weird part was me and Izzy had our arms wrapped around a grey shadow. It was like the camera meant to take the picture that way. Whoever that was had somehow removed themselves from the picture.

"Do you know who it is?"

I shook my head, my eyes not leaving the photo "I have no idea and I have a feeling they don't want me to know"

"Go and show Izzy and Storm, maybe they know. You do that and I'll see what else I can find"

I kissed his lips "I'll be right back."

"Just make sure you come back. I can't lose you"

And that feeling was back.
