Chapter 5

Jessica looked out her bedroom window, at the house across the street from her own, "Have you seen the people who bought that house yet?" she asked Charity who was sitting on Kay's bed.

"No, but I did see someone in the window looking out last night. But it could've been my imagination," Charity answered. Jessica nodded and the two walked dwon stairs.


Kay sat in her dark room thinking about her past and rather not to act upon her feelings. She remembered loving the boy more than anything else and her heart was fighting her mind about what to do about it.

"So, this boy," Aubrey sighed, "you are in over your head, Avaelon."

"How did you find me?" Kay demanded.

"Well, it's rather easy, Avaelon dear, I followed your scent," Aubrey smirked, "Now about this boy, I'm betting he'll make a good meal."

"You better not go near him," Kay said through clenched teeth.

"Oh, don't worry Avaelon, I won't have to," Aubrey smiled and disapeared.

Kay flew out of her house and took off to look for Miguel. She found him at the book café with, who she remembered as Reese. He was fine.

Kay spent the rest of the day following Miguel around and watching over him.

Close to midnight that night, Kay was beginning to hunger again and had to find a quick meal, as she was turning around to look for food, she found herself face to face with Miguel.

"Kay?" Miguel asked quietly.

"Miguel..." Kay whispered and then turned and ran off.

"Kay! Wait!" Miguel yelled as she ran off.

When Kay finally reached her home she broke down on the floor and began to cry.


The next morning, when Kay opened her front door to pick up the local newspaper, she was horrified at what she saw on the front page:

Local Police Officer's Brother Missing!

Aubrey wrapped his arms around Kay's hips, "I'll give you one day to find your little boyfriend."
