A/N - I would like to take the time to thank those who have reviewed my story thus far.
"We have reason to believe you are in danger," Elise said.
In danger? Maybe I should wait and hear them out. "Why would I be in danger? What exactly is the Night World and why are you telling me? I get the feeling I'm not supposed to know about it."
Peter walked up and took my hand. Suddenly, I felt as if my spine had become a live-wire. I blinked back the pink haze threatening to overtake my vision. I had to focus on what Peter was trying to tell me. "... why. They can find out who you are to me. We aren't allowed... witch and Elise is... cat... Are you listening to a word I said Haylee? This is important!"
Suddenly, my hand was dropped and the world turned normal again. I sat hard on the leaf covered grass and put my hands up to cover my face. This can't be happening. I realized exactly what all those 'static shocks' had been. Soulmates. Peter was my Soulmate. Just what mom and dad were... why they were killed. Damn...
I looked up when Peter made an exasperated noise. "Soulmates? That can't be... you're human." I got to my feet, bracing myself on a nearby tree. I looked past Peter. I couldn't handle seeing his face at that moment. Elise looked as if she were going to knock my head off if I didn't explain my statement. Can this day get any worse? I just revealed I wasn't human. Expanding my mind, I searched for anybody with a hint of magic. I whipped my head towards Peter and yelped in surprise. He isn't human after all! But... if he isn't human and he isn't a mer... what was he? Remembering the snatches of his earlier comments, I took a step forward.
"You're a witch?" Peter nodded. He looked as surprised as I was.
"So are you apparently. Why didn't you recognize my Harman blood?"
"What does your last name have to do with this? Besides, I'm not a witch. I sprout scales if I touch water. You know," I waved my hand absently in the air, "mermaids, right?"
