Chapter 11: Spill It
"It was fun..." Teli trailed off, being purposely evasive. Kat punched Teli in the shoulder, none too gently, in protest. That evening the two girls had walked up to their favorite meeting spot on the side of the mountain - the big rock where Teli often went to write and think. Teli was shaving bark off a stick with Brian's pocketknife while Kat talked and quizzed Teli for details.
"Come on Te, when I ask about a date, I want details. So spill the details. Now." Kat sat down next to Teli and shot her a 'tell me now or die' look.
"Okay, okay," Teli said, mocking fear. "He took me to dinner at one of the resorts by the lake. There was a band playing and we danced after dinner for a while and then he took me home."
"And..?" Kat was not about to let Teli get away with that answer.
"And... we had a good time." Teli replied. She ducked before Kat could punch her again.
"Well, we talked a lot about our pasts." Teli said. Kat raised her eyebrows, both surprised and questioning. Teli just shook her head. Kat"s expression seemed relieved, and then she turned back to prodding.
"Go on..."
"The band was really good." Teli offered. Kat rolled her eyes.
"Anything else you want to tell me'?" Kat's tone was mildly curious, but her expression asked another, more direct, question. Teli felt her cheeks turn slightly pink. Kat's eyes got big with excitement as she saw the blush.
"When?!"
"While we were dancing and then when he dropped me off."
"Aww! Like in a movie." Teli smiled and rolled her eyes slightly.
"Gees, it's like pulling teeth to get details outta you!" Kat said, laughing.
"Oh, whatever." Kat just grinned in response and glanced at her watch.
"Oh shit! I've gotta get going, you know my mom and me staying out..." Teli nodded in agreement. She had just called up her retinal clock and noted that it was 10:48pm. Kat was supposed to be home three minutes ago.
"Catch ya later Kat." Teli called, pulling out her journal as Kat climbed down and jumped off the rock.
"See ya!" Kat called over her shoulder as she scurried back down the path towards home.

Dear Angel,
It's been a pretty uneventful few days. Shane called, and we had a good talk. Kat and I have been doing our bike routes, and I guess we're all settling into a lazy summer. No new discoveries for a while now, though I still get this odd feeling of being watched every now and, but I guess I'm just being paranoid 'coz no one is ever there. Speak of the devil! I just got the odd prickle-on-the-back-of-my-mind feeling again. Grr... well, I gue

Teli jumped in shock as the book flew out of her hands. But before she could react, she felt a blow to the back of her head and everything went black.
