Chapter 2 Mysterious Man's Secret

It was dark out and the moon was high in the sky. Layla's eyes kept opening and closing. It was late, and she was very tired. Jade looked at her with a worried look. Then she turned to look at Jade. His gaze was away from her and seemed to be locked in the distance.

"I can't wait to get home, and finally go to bed," she said breaking the silence.

"Yeah sleep would be good right now," he replied back yawning. Layla giggled. "I sometimes wonder why you giggle so much."

"Your just so funny I can't help it." Jade sighed. Then he looked at their surroundings. Many trees flooded the path they were taking. Then looking ahead Jade saw a black figure. He blinked and when he looked back it was gone. He shook his head, and kept walking.

"Doesn't it seem strange we haven't seen anyone?" Jade asked her. She looked at him strangely.

"I guess, but it is night I really didn't think we would see anyone," she replied back.

"I just don't know I have the feeling someone is following us."

"You think?" She turned around and saw a little boy smiling. Layla screamed. Seeing a boy in the night all alone frightened her. A lot of things scared her, but that boy scared her the most! "J J Jade!" He turned around and saw her looking at nothing.

"What are you scared about?" he asked her.

"I saw a little boy and...," she got interrupted by Jade.

"Their is nothing their so come on let's go home," he said walking a little faster.

"Ever since we met "him" weird things have been going on lately" she started to say," I think he has some connection with what is happening. Jade gave her a weird look.

"I think you are just seeing things, but I have to admit I did see a black figure earlier," he finally admitted. Then Layla's eyes started to well up in tears. Jade then embraced her in a hug.

"I'm scared I might we might...," she couldn't finish her sentence. Her tears started to fall down her cheeks.

"Don't worry we'll make it back home, and everything will be alright," he said trying to comfort her. She looked up and smiled at him. Then Jade let go of her and pointed out Sinfa. They have made it back.

"I must get home," she said as she ran towards her home town. Jade followed behind her. When they reached the entrance to the town lights were off, and no one was up.

"Bye Layla see you tomorrow," he yelled to her as he ran to his house. She motioned a wave. Then she opened the door to her house. She went to her room kicked off her shoes and fell fast asleep.

"Wake up Layla," her mom said as she shook her.

"What?" she asked back pulling the covers over her head.

"Jade is here." When she herd that word Layla immediately got up and ran for the door zooming right past her mother. She opened the door and looked around for Jade outside. She spotted him brushing one of her family's cows.

"Hey Jade," said Layla as she ran over to him. He looked over at her and smiled.

"Hello," he replied back to her. Then someone literally plowed into Layla's back making her fall to the ground.

"What's the big idea?" she asked as she stood up. Looking behind her she saw her sister Minnie.

"I'm sorry sis but this man with a black cape was chasing me," Minnie told her. Layla's face turned to one of anger and sacredness'.

"Go inside and don't come out till I say so," she told her sister. Then she ran inside.

"Jade he is back, and I'm afraid he wants something," she told him. He nodded.

"We must leave for some reason he wants us, and will not give up."

"Ok I will" then she stopped and thought, "Let's go!" They left the village of Sinfa. Deciding they should go to Marr's and hopefully get away from that man.

"I don't think we can keep running we have to face him, and save us and our village," Jade told her as he ran through some bushes.

"I know," she said as she looked behind her. No one was their, but she was sure he was close behind them. After a while of running they took a break in an open field. Layla kept close watch of her surroundings making sure nothing would happen with out her knowing.

"I think we lost him for no," he said sitting on a dead tree stump.

"I hope you are right." Then they saw a Caravan pass through the area.

"Hello fellow Clavats," said one of the cravaners. Layla and Jade walked up to them. "What are ye doing on such a fine day?"

"Um we are just hanging around," Jade replied back.

"Well if your just hanging around why not stay with me and my friend for a while?" the Clavat suggested. Layla turned to Jade. He shook his head in a yes motion.

"Um ok for only a while though we are being hunted," she said.

"Well then welcome aboard," said the Clavat.
