I would like to thank all of you who have reviewed. I try to respond to every review, but there have been some guest reviews as well as those who have PMing turned off. I want to let you know that I read all the reviews and appreciate all of them. There was someone who was kind enough to review chapter 32 of this story today and in maneuvering the mouse to click on reply, the message disappeared. I don't like when my mouse deletes things before I get to respond. Whoever you were, thank you and I'm sorry you didn't get a response.

Chapter 35: A Necessary Move

Kallie's POV:

Once mom and dad left, I did my best to stay out of Raven's sight. I used the time to work on my computer tweaking a few things. When it was late enough, I got ready for bed and tried to sleep. It took a while to fall asleep, and my sleep was restless. Suddenly, without warning he was there. I shook my head trying to get away but he was too strong. He was going to win this time. I felt the madness and tried making myself small but he saw me and he was coming closer. I saw him looming up out of the water with that mad look on his face as he reached for Julie and dragged her back under the water with him. I panicked when they didn't come back up. Suddenly I sat up screaming at the top of my lungs. I felt hands reaching for me and I struck out. Whoever was there was too strong and they soon overpowered me. Realizing my eyes were shut tight I opened them and screamed again.

Raven pulled me into his arms and spoke soothingly too me in some language I didn't recognize. His hand gently rubbed up and down my back trying to soothe me. When I finally quieted, I noticed Julie and Rambo were also there. Julie looked worried and I couldn't control the tears that suddenly fell. I stiffened and pushed away from Raven. I looked around sure he was here with us or would be soon. He knew where we were. I don't know how he found us, but he was coming. I turned to Julie and said, "He knows where we are. I saw him come up out of the water and drag you back down. You didn't come back up."

Julie pulled me into her arms, "I'm fine Kallie."

We looked at each other and Rambo put his hand on Julie's shoulder, "We need to leave. Its too dangerous here now."

Raven frowned, "It was just a dream."

I looked at Raven and knew he believed what he was saying. Julie shook her head. "Kallie's never wrong. She sees things others don't."

Raven's eyes narrowed on me and I could see the disbelief in his eyes. I felt myself go out of focus and I saw a little boy watching silently as his mother dressed to go out. He asked her not to go and she sneered and told him there was nothing to keep her at home. Nothing of value that is. I watched as the boy watched her walk out the door and then he went over to the window and watched her drive away. The sad look in his eyes tore at my heart. The view started to grow dim as I felt myself drifting back to the present. I looked up into Raven's eyes and gently touched his cheek. "She was wrong. The most valuable thing in the world was in that house."

His eyes narrowed and he looked at me like he was looking inside my soul. Then his eyes narrowed and he said, "Nice trick, but I'm not buying into it sweetheart."

I shook my head, "I know. You won't believe me. Its okay. Rambo trusts my word."

Raven smirked, "Too bad Rambo is interested in your sister."

I frowned, "I'm not interested in Rambo in that way and you're being rude. They're right here in the room with us."

Raven released me and stood. "I'm going back to sleep. Catch you in the morning."

"We won't be here in the morning. We have to leave right now. If we wait any longer he'll find us."

Raven mockingly asked me, "And where do you suggest we go?"

"We have to go to Haywood. It's the only place that's safe right now."

Julie stood, "I'll start packing."

Raven shook his head and mumbled something about crazy people. Three hours later we were headed back to Trenton. When we pulled into the garage at Haywood, we had barely gotten out of the car when dad and Tank were exiting the stairwell and stalking towards us. Dad looked at me and asked, "What's going on?"

I rushed forward and he enveloped me in his arms. I couldn't control the sobs. He was so real and I was having a hard time dealing with his memory in my mind. Ranger wrapped me in his arms and spoke to me in Spanish. I felt safe and loved. "I saw him come up out of the water and he dragged Julie back down with him. He knew where we were. It wasn't safe anymore."

He comforted me and told me we'd be safe now. We grabbed our bags and headed up to the penthouse. Raven headed to his apartment on 4 and Tank gave Rambo a key fob and told him where he would find his apartment. When Julie, dad and I walked into the apartment, mom asked what was going on so we clued her in as well. The more people watching Julie's back the better because this guy was a truly sick individual.

Unknown POV:

I found my princess. I finally knew where she was. Point Pleasant. I was on my way there now. In just a few more minutes I would have her with me forever. I had it all planned. I would swim out to meet her in the water and take her down to the bottom with me where we would live forever. I parked the car and made my way towards the house where I knew they were staying. I slipped inside and went through the house looking for signs of my princess. The place seemed abandoned. I was furious. Somehow they had spirited her away from me once again.

How about that Margaret...two chapters in one day. Enjoy.
