(chapter.... "whatever")

Opening to Sophia and Paul sitting on a swing on her front porch after their "date." They are talking and laughing when Sophia touches Paul's leg as she laughed.

"Paul, I had a great time tonight." Sophia told him,

"So did I," Paul answered her.

"Actually, I'd like to..." She cut off as she saw a pair of glowing eyes watching them from a bush.

"I don't believe it" She muttered.

"What?" Paul asked completely unaware of the eyes.

"Paul I have to go; it's getting late and my dad can only stand behind the door eavesdropping for so long before he gets tired." Sophia said while laughing and trying to get him to leave so she could ream Luke out for following her after the movie.

"Alright, Alright. Well I guess I'll call you tomorrow, okay?" he said awkwardly and shy.

"Yeah, that'd be great." Sophia said to reassure him.

"Great. Goodnight Sophia."

"good night Paul"

"Good night Mr. Donner." Paul called as he walked down the steps and went to his car.

Sophia waved as Paul pulled away and he honked once. Once he was out of sight she jogged across the street to where the eyes were. As she approached the bushes the glowing stopped. Sophia parted the bushes.

"Not funny Cates... I can't believe..." Sophia stopped all the sudden when she moved the bushes and nothing was there.

"That's so weird... I could've sworn that I saw him." She muttered as she walked into the house.

"Dad I'm going to bed... Paul's gone and you can safely go to bed knowing that your little girl in safely in the house."

Sophia continued upstairs not surprised her dad had already "gone to bed" meaning he had raced up the stairs when he heard Paul's car starting.

She was thinking about the bush incident when she walked into her room and started kicking off her shoes. She took off her jewelry and jacket in the dark.... After all, it's her room and she knew her way around it.

Well she thought she did. All of the sudden she tripped over something in the middle of her room. She turned the light and saw that it was a medium sized box that was addressed to "the light in my eternal darkness"

"well I assume that that would me since it's in my room. I wonder who sent it?" Sophia said picking it up.

She happened to glance at the clock and see that it was nearly 1 in the morning.

"Aw crap... I have to get up in like four hours.. looks like you'll just have to wait until tomorrow morning" she said looking remorsefully at the box.

Sophia lays in bed and drifts off to sleep where the vision of a pair of wolves would more than likely appear.

As she drifts off span to the window where the present is sitting in the bay window. Slowly span up to the window and you see a pair of glowing eyes but can't make out who it is.

Funny thing is... the eyes..... their not glowing gold.. .their glowing red.... Ruby red.

(Next morning)

"BRRRRINNNNGGGGG" the alarm clock goes off at get this 5 in the morning.... Sophia get s up this early once a week to eat breakfast with her dad before he goes to work.

After she showers and dresses her eyes fall back to that box she found the night before.

Sophia opened the box with the enthusiasm of a little kid opening presents on Christmas.

Inside the box lay a small rectangular box that was made of velvet. Sophia opened the box and found it too was lined with a beautiful iridescent blue... but what really caught her eye was what was in the box.

Inside the box layed a beautiful pendant made of what looked like a emerald. It was shaped that a tear drop an was attached to a gold chain.

When Sophia had put the necklace on she noticed a little note under the jewelry box.

"To the princess of our heart and keeper of our soul: Know that whenever you're ready we will be waiting. And when that day comes you are ready to come home you will be welcomed with open arms. Until that day keep the hope that your family is on their way and will rescue you soon.

Your TRUE family"

That's so weird... It has to be a prank... maybe luke or presley... but this pendant is fabulous... and so defiantely not prank merchandise.

Sophia eats breakfast with her dad but "accidentally" doesn't tell her dad about the pendant or the note not wanting to worry him anymore than normal.

After her dad left she ran upstairs to get the note...

"maybe I'll talk to Sherman about it." she thought as the walked down stairs.

Sophia was distracted by the note and what it might mean so she started to pick up the pace as she walked down her steps.

In fact she was so distracted she didn't notice the glowing red eyes that were watching her house.

She didn't notice when the eyes started to follow her either.

She did however notice a very familiar scent in the air and she didn't like the smell or the fact that she could smell him or the fact that she could gauge how far away he was..

Not nearly far enough for her liking.

Maybe Luke had given her the pendant to make up for his behavior and gave the stupid note to make it seem like it didn't mean anything.

"Right like Luke would do something like that for someone like ME! You're so stupid" Sophia's voice yelled inside her head.

"Hey maybe he does like you and want to be with you not just "in" you" the second voice replied.

"Don't hold your breath" the first voice whispered.

"hey ya never know." the second voice persisted.

Sophia, distracted by the inner conflict had sat down on a bench to clear her head...literally. Well her day was about to get so much worse.

"Hey Sophia need a ride?" Luke asked as he pulled up... If she didn't know any better she'd think he was trying to make amends IF SHE DIDN'T KNOW BETTER!!!.

Sophia bit her lip contemplating what to do...

Okay guys...in the car or blow him off... you decide...and to the "unknown" user worried about poor Paul...if I let him down then I will do it easily...but keep reviewing
