A/n well hello you people! Thank you for all my lovely reviews, you are so kind takes a bow hehe, ok a few comments 1) yes I love cliffhangers, but that wasn't so bad was it? Really? Oh and I get all the names off a great site, I type in a meaning I want and voila! Except Dylan, I just like the name Dylan. Anyway on with the story.
They had driving in silence for about five minutes when Dylan turned and looked at Keaira. She looked worried, and a little bit worn, as if she hadn't slept very well recently.
"So are you going to tell me, or are we just going to sit for 3 hours in silence, with me here wondering where the hell you've been for the past 3 ½ years!" he said it quite sharply, all the emotions he had stopped himself from feeling suddenly welling up.
"Dylan… I am sorry, but it's not my fault, you don't think that it is?" she looked at him, confused as if she didn't know what he meant
"What you thought no-one would miss you? We had a memorial service for you, no one knew where you were, people thought you were dead! Or that you'd run away, because of Kyle!"
"Kyle, is he ok, I did a spell, is he hurt?"
"What? He's fine, mores the pity, Keaira, what are you doing I mean you call me after 3 years to come and pick you up, do you even know what you've put everyone through, your mum's… she's just lost all feelings, she doesn't interact in anything."
"But Dylan!" she reached out for his hand, he turned and saw she was almost in tears, "it's not my fault, I was kidnapped. I was spelled I couldn't get away,"
"What?"
"I ran away from school that day because of what Kyle had done, I wanted revenge I did a stupid spell, asking for justice. Then I was struck by lightening or something. When I woke up I was in a bed, in a really posh house; it was my biological father's house! I spoke to him and he told me his and my mother's story, I said I had to go home and he gave me a drink, it was spelled. I couldn't remember anything, he kept me there, saying I had fallen and lost my memory, when ever I started to remember he'd give me more drink, but this morning I ran away. I found out what he was doing yesterday and I ran away, I didn't know who else to call, please don't be angry with me Dylan!"
Dylan pulled the car over and pulled her into his arms, she started crying, and he hugged her tighter,
"I could never be angry with you"
They sat there for a while, her sniffling, trying to stop crying and he was just stroking her hair.
Keaira looked up "D, what am I going to do?"
"Don't worry, I'm going to take you home, then we'll make a plan no-ones going to take you away again. Now come on you, don't tell me a few years away has made you go soft!"
She scowled, and he smiled and pulled the car back onto the road. After a few more minutes, he asked
"So, what did he tell you?"
"I don't know if it was true, he said, my biological mother had killed herself, that she was depressed, but I don't believe him, I mean, he's told me so many lies, so why should I? I just want to see my family, I don't want to talk about him" Dylan nodded
"So D, what's been going on? I mean are Moira and Ian still together, I need caught up on everything!" she smiled, her eyes glowing, a lot more like the old Keaira.
"Well, Moira and Ian are living together, they're preparing to be handfasted really, but that's kind of a secret. Who else, well Kyle had a car crash, when you left, I guess it was your spell, don't worry" he said seeing the worry in her eyes, "he wasn't hurt, but he got in loads of trouble for wrecking his dad's car, and driving without a license and all that sort of thing. Your mum and dad, are well they're still in love but she's taken your disappearance so hard. Hunter and Moira have tried to make her grieve, but she wouldn't accept you were gone, I guess with good reason" he smiled slightly
Keaira looked at her lap, twiddling her fingers, "what about you?" she said quietly
"I… well I'm going out with this girl called Sarah, she's really nice, you'd like her, I mean… I met her at college," he trailed off,
"That's good" she said, smiling reassuringly, "what you thought I'd be sad you hadn't waited for me?" she laughed, and gave Dylan a look of disdain, "think again soft-boy!" but really she was upset, and Dylan could tell.
He put his hand on hers, "we're still best friends though right?"
"Of course, just 'cause everyone thought I was dead you think you'd get away with going off and being friends with someone else!"
"Keaira, I've missed you, so much!"
"Me too D, so much!"
When they got back to the village they waited outside Keaira's cottage for a minute,
"You want me to come in right?"
Keaira nodded, unable to speak, Dylan got out and opened the door helping her out, then he gripped her hand, firmly but not too tight.
"Come on, you can do this,"
She nodded again, biting her lip. They walked to the door and Dylan knocked,
The door opened slowly and Morgan peered out. Keaira smiled weakly then stepped into her mum's open arms.
"Hunter, Keaira's back!" Morgan called, sounding as if Keaira had only been away at school. Hunter ran into the hall and looked at his youngest daughter, Morgan grinned at his look of surprise.
"Why you looking so surprised? I told you she'd be back!"
