A/N: I'm BAAAAAAAAAACK! has anyone ever been water tubing? OMFG it's FUN!
lol but anywho, thanx for all the reviews so far, I'm sure u know how
appreciated they are, many, if not all, of you being writers yourselves.
Alia: have no fear! I will finish this fic! I know where I want it to end up, and I've got a pretty good idea of how I'll get there...
Krikoris: your writing is NOT bad at all! Far from it in fact! Personally, I like cliffhangers, it's easier to remember them, and it keeps u in suspense! And heh heh heh...that bit about the football teams was funny...lol
Moonlitdemon: I woulda had kieran knock some sense into alex, but I felt like being nice at the moment, and plus, he needs her help, and I wanted her to make him feel that he needed her, whether he liked it or not...
And without further ado, I give you chapter 16...
Chapter 16
The room looked like an earthquake ravaged it. Marisol Reed clung to her husband's arm as they looked around. The air was potent with bitter smelling herbs that lay crushed on the floor. A sharp prick of warning stabbed at the back of her mind. Something, besides the smashed phials, was amiss. She got her husband's attention and pointed toward the door to the room where the strongest herbs were kept. The charms were gone, disintegrated. He nodded and they headed toward the door, preparing to blow the door down in hopes of finding the intruders.
They looked at each other and nodded once, then looked at the door. It crashed open on its hinges. Marisol's husband leapt through the doorway with Marisol close behind. The room was empty.
"Vampire," Her husband grunted. "A vampire was here."
Marisol could feel the lingering aura quickly dissipating through the air. She looked around as if expecting the vampire to reappear. Her husband stuck around for a moment longer, then went back into the main room, his dagger still poised, ready to be flung at intruders.
After taking quick inventory, Marisol noticed with distress that one of the phials was gone.
Brennan? She called silently to her husband. Have you taken the bottle of the Valerian Root mixture? It's missing.
No, and that's not the only thing missing, He replied grimly. Marisol could sense the hot anger in his mind, overriding the twinge of sadness at the thought of Kala, their daughter who had gone out to a friend's house and never returned. As midnight had set in, Marisol had grown anxious despite Brennan's certainty that Kala was just spending extra time at her friend's house to chat. Kala had not returned by the next morning, and even Brennan was getting uneasy; Kala had never been gone that long without checking in with them. Upon inquiry of her friend, they found out that their daughter had never made it to the house the previous night. They could find no trace of her; it was like she had dropped off the face of the Earth.
What? She asked Brennan, realizing that he had said something else, but she had missed it.
I said, that's not the only thing missing, Brennan repeated clearly. Where's Alex?
