Update! Whee! Okay, I'm officially on Summer Vacation right now, and with vacation comes out of state travel. On Monday, I'm leaving to go to Lake Havasu in Arizona. I won't be able to update in that time, so I'll try to update again today. Thanks for reading everyone! Enjoy the next chapter!

"Kate," Said Leiko, pushing her friend off. "I think I just had a vision…"

Kate kept the same look she had assumed. "Did you sleep walk and hit your head? You're starting to creep me out…"

"No! Seriously!" Said Leiko, sitting up. "I think that I know who my parents are…"

"Really?" Kate got up, she had been sitting, and looked at Leiko happily. "Who are they?"

Leiko bit her lower lip. "I can't tell you right now…but if you stay here while I go out to find them, I'll tell you all about them. So if you'll just…" Leiko's voice faded off and she began getting up, but Kate glared and pounced on her.

"What is up with you and running off suddenly?" Kate was yelling a bit loudly.

"……………."

"If you're going anywhere, you're either going to tell me what's going on or take me with you." She got off her and stood back up. "Got it?"

Leiko was still in a bit of surprise on account of her friend had just literally jumped three feet onto her, but she realized that she couldn't take her on her journey that would very soon take place. "Listen, if you let me get up without knocking me down again, I'll tell you everything you want to know."

Kate nodded and took a step back.

Leiko sighed and very slowly got up. She sat Kate down in a chair and sat down herself. Then, she explained every single detail about the vision she had, while Kate listened intently with eyes that expressed a blend of many different emotions.

"So," she said, after Leiko had finished narrating to her, "You think that the little girl was you, and the two people were your parents?"

"Exactly." Leiko closed her eyes in thought. "But it's going to be hard to find them and get them in one place, let alone get them to believe me."

"Would you like me to help?" Said Kate, eager to go on an adventure. "I haven't had an opportunity like this in ages!"

"Kate," Leiko got off her chair and sighed. "I think I need to do this alone. Knowing my dad, he never was one to like visitors."

Kate looked longingly at Leiko, but if you had seen her, it would have looked like sadness more than longing.

"Leiko, I want to come with you." She pleaded.

"Kate, I'm sorry, but you can't. But I promise that as soon as I find them, I'll bring them here for you to meet. And who knows, if that red-haired idiot isn't still in our castle, I'll take you home with us." Leiko smiled.

Kate had to do a great deal of thinking, but finally agreed to Leiko's idea. "Okay. But can I at least come with you to see you off?"

"Sure." Leiko said, and the two walked back out the front door, out of the neighborhood, and pretty far from Kate's house.

It was then that the two girls noticed that they were going a lot farther than they should be going. Kate was more shocked than either of them. She had never seen this section of the town before. It was actually a very nice place. On one side of the street, there was a small hospital, and across from it was a pleasant bridge, under which was a steady stream of flowing water. It was night already by the time the girls got to where they currently were, so the stars were out and the lamp posts were glowing as moths buzzed happily around the radiant light.

"This is a very nice place…" Said Kate, stepping forward as they rounded a corner to the area that was just spoken of. "I'm surprised my mom has never taken me here before…"

"Same here…" Leiko looked around curiously just as Kate did.

The two girls took a minute to look around when they saw a man passing by. Leiko looked over at him and examined him, but he was wearing a long jacket with a hood up.

"Kate, look!" Said Leiko quietly, pointing the man out. "Let's ask him where we are."

Kate looked suspiciously at the man. "I dunno…" She said, with a twinge of fear in her voice. "I've got a bad vibe from this guy…"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Leiko replied.

"His presence feels strange…" Kate continued to stare at the man.

"Well, there's no one else here. Let's just follow him and see where he's going."

Kate looked over at Leiko to protest, but she had already started after the man. She rolled her eyes and ran quickly after her, panting a bit, but still trying to keep very quiet.

Who is the man? WHO IS HE? You will find out in the next chapter! I'll start typing it right now. I shall update again today, maybe! Thanks for reading everyone, and don't forget to review to tell me what you think! Bye!
