... Yes...Yes...Yes
Do you feel it too?
... Yes...Yes...Yes
My eyes flew open to see the bright morning light filling the room. I took a chance and glanced over to the right side of the bed and sighed in disappointment as i found it empty.
i was just about to get up when i heard the sound of the key in the lock. Elijah walked in fully dressed in a new suit holding a napkin in his hand.
" Do you own anything else" I ask him gesturing to his suit
" I find it's easier to gain peoples respect when you dress the part" He tells me with a slight smile.
" Right, whatever you say chief" I laugh
" Oh here, I grabbed this for you" He tells me handing me the napkin, there is a delicious looking cranberry muffin hiding inside it.
" Thanks" I tell him taking a chunk and popping it in my mouth.
The silence that fills the room is heavy and i hurry to finish the muffin. As i place the last piece in my mouth i get up and grab my clothes out of my bag and head into the bathroom to shower and change.
I have a feeling today is going to be very interesting.
" So i was thinking" I climb into the rental car that was dropped of this morning " I want to go to my house before we find this Bonnie girl " I finish as i click the seat belt in place
" do you think there is something there?" He asks
" Maybe" I answer " I didn't know any of this when we left and i couldn't bring myself to go in my parents room or my moms office not that i would have had any idea of what to look for "
" Okay" he says simply
I give him directions to the house and as we turn onto the dead end street i cant ignore the pain that has settled in my heart. Someone has been mowing the lawn it looks neatly kept i notice as we pull into the driveway. The two story pale gray house with white trim stands before me. The house i had lived in all my life until last year.
I reach under the mail box and find the spare key still taped there.
The house is just the same as it was before. Only now it has a cold un-lived in feeling. I peak in the living-room and i am put off by the white sheets covering everything. A thin layer of dust has settled on everything that's not covered.
The morning fades into the afternoon as we look through the house. We're about to leave when the doorbell shatters the quite.
"Did you tell anyone we were coming here" Elijah asks
"When would i have had time to that?" Answering his question with another question
"Stay here " He tells me
"I can answer the door you know. What if its someone who knew my parents, It would be a bad thing to have the police called." I tell him heading down the stairs
I pull open the door to find a stranger.
"Can i help you" I ask him
"I'm sorry, i'm part of the neighborhood watch and just wanted to make sure everything was ok" He tells me.
His dark blue eyes take in my appearance. And as i'm about to answer him the door is pulled open wider. The man takes a step back as Elijah comes into view.
"Is everything okay" Elijah asks looking between me and the man
"Yeah, neighborhood watch" I tell him "What was your name"
" Joe, I live just across the street" He tells us "Well sorry again"
I close the door as he heads back towards the street.
" I don't think there is anything here" Elijah tells me as i turn and face him
" Yeah i think you maybe right, but i just wanted to be sure"
We grab burgers and bring them back to the room. After eating i head into the shower before heading back out to go find Bonnie.
"Righlyn, I have to step out for a moment. I'll be back soon" Elijahs voice calls through the closed bathroom door
"Okay" I call back
I cant help but wonder about where he is off to and if it has anything to do with why we're here. Then again he did live here not too long ago, maybe he has friends to meet up with... Wait did Elijah have friends?
Elijah has been gone for over an hour and i'm starting to get bored. I decide to close my eyes until he comes back which should be any minute now.
