I didn't remember what time we made it back to the cave, or how I made it to the bed. All I could think of was Charles as I hug the shoe and bear close to my heart. I could not cry, I had cried so much at the boardwalk I'm pretty sure I was all out of tears. As I laid there I felt the bed shift and two arms wrapped around me, I knew it was Dwayne, but I still didn't move.

I'm not sure how long I stayed in that bed it felt like days, maybe weeks. I felt to weak and too scared to move, laddie had often claimed in bed with me and talked to me. I just listened not that it did any good id just forget about the conversation within minutes.

As for Dwayne he was always gone, he barley stayed with me. He had for the first 2 days, had lay in bed with me all day and all night only leaving to feed. But no, he was never here, he was always gone doing I don't know what. Id spin the ring he proposed to me with on my finger while trying to sleep or take my mind off Charles, but it never worked.

Dwayne...

As time passed I became more and more worried about Emery. I had begun searching for Charles everywhere I could, I had checked the beach a thousand times, stores, abandoned houses, anywhere I could think of. I had even gone back to their place and check and see if he was there but there was nothing.

I was walking the boardwalk looking through the crowds trying to find any sign of him. I was going to go back to Emery as F had already feed but then I see it a poster about a traveling Gypsy Caravan, I knew Emery was part gypasy and I knew how they could predict the future through card readings. Grabbing the poster, I hoped on my bike and drove to the woods where the caravan was sat up.

"Where you are going Dwayne?" David asked throughout link

"There is a gypsy caravan I'm going to see if they can help us"

"They will know what you are, they won't help"

"Maybe if I explain to them about Emery they will"

"We'll get her and meet you there" was the last thing he said.

I pulled up to the caravan only to be stopped by a man "what are you doing here vampire?" His accent was thick showing he was a pure gypsy.

"I need help my fiancée and I lost our son he's been missing for over 2 weeks now" I explained

"What makes you think he is alive?"

"He has to be I can't lose him" I turn to see Emery she is still holding the bear and bloody shoe to her; the boys close behind her.

"Why should we help?"

"Please, she is half gypsy she needs your help" I said getting desperate.

The man looked to Emery walking around her and studied her closely. "We will help the girl, but you all must stay here" he began walking Emery following close behind.

Emery...

I was nervous to go without Dwayne, but I had to find Charles and it there was any hope... hope? Was that possible at this point?

"My name is Siegfried by the way, and your name is Emery?" He asked still walking.

"Yes" was all I could say

He led me to a small cart and knocked on the door. The cart moved a little as the door opened reviling a small old woman. She had long gray hair that was pin up she wore a long skirt with large gold earrings. "Siegfried? What is a halfling doing here?" Her voice was raw and used her hands shaking.

"She needs your help Ms. Yaga" she looked at me and studied my clothes. I had changed into before coming here

She motioned for me to follow her as she headed deeper into the cart. Climbing in she sat down at a small table and started shuffling a set of tarot cards. Sitting in the chair across from her I what anxiously Siegfried was now sitting on the steps of the cart. She slid the cards out in a long row looking at me as she gestures to the cards.

I run my hand over them picking up one then another and one more laying rhema side by side. Ms. Yaga begins the reading dipping over my first card, the fool knowing that this card means new beginnings and having faith I had begun to gain hope of seeing Charles. Slowly she moved to the next card.

The Ace of Pentacles my eyes widen as I remember that card when I had my first reading. It had been some time after my father had raped me I had went to a local reader and she predicted my pregnancy before I ever knew it. "You will have a baby making good change for you and your fiancée" she said going to flip over the next card.

Turning it over I feel my hear drop into my stomach suddenly feeling sick...death. I had seen my father get ridings once he had death and the next thing we knew my grandmother was gone. She had died in her sleep of old age scenes then he seen readings as evil. Ms. Yaga looked at me grabbing my hand "don't worry child this card does not always mean death it can mean change" she looked somewhat said as she squeezed my hand "a change you are not willing to let happen".

I sat there feeling tears run down my face as I listened to her, there was a small wind coming through the open door making the windchimes clink together. Grabbing both my hands Yaga makes me face her. "I believe your son Is alive, but he does not have long find him, save him, as long as you don't lose hope there is still a chance".

As soon as she let go I ran out of the cart and back to Dwayne running up to him and wrapping my arm's around him. "there's a chance Charles is still alive! We have to find him there's still hope" I said looking up into his eyes.
