Hello Guys! Here is the next chapter I hope you enjoy!

I jumped out of bed when I heard a crash, I looked at the clock. I had been asleep for only three hours, it was 1 in the morning, or at night. I got up and walked into the hall to see what the noise was. Everything seemed quiet, like the crash didn't wake anyone. I decided to sneak downstairs to see if anything was going on. The thing that made me nervous was because it was silent, dead silent. I could feel my heart race slightly, as I looked around. Suddenly I saw something whoosh past me in the corner of my eye, I whipped around.

"Hello?" I whispered "Who's there?"

"Hikari?" I heard a whisper which made me jump. A little orange light popped in front of me all of a sudden.

I sighed in relief "What are you doing here Finn?" I asked.

"Yuki was being mean so I decided to follow you here."

"You mean you were with us this whole time."

He shrugged "Sure. I was hungry and I just came down for a snack, I accidentally dropped a plate. It didn't break though."

I smiled "Okay, sheesh you gave me a heart attack."

"Sorry."

I looked out the window, the sky was clear with stars and the moon lit the kitchen in a bright light.

"I might go for a quick walk, do you want to come with?"

He smiled "Sure!"

I slipped on my flip flops and a jacket, I opened the door and fresh air ran across my skin. I walked out and went by the beach. Finn sat on my shoulder as we walked, the waves washed gently on the shore, a sound I was too familiar with. I enjoyed the view of the stars, but they weren't as bright as the ones in Castanet because my town was by a city which was two hours away. I took my flip flops off and buried my toes in the sand.

"So you have been following me this whole time?" I asked Finn.

"Yeah! Yuki has been calling me annoying for a while and I needed a vacation."

"You could've just asked."

"I didn't want to take up space."

I laughed "I'm positive you wouldn't."

He was quiet "I wasn't the only one that was following you."

I gave him a puzzled look "What?"

"There was this guy that as been following you around town, haven't you noticed?"

"You mean one of my friends?"

"No, just this guy."

I felt a tight notch in my stomach, this was creeping me out.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he was around now." He said.

I felt my heart start to beat hard "Let's go." I barely whispered.

"Um...okay..."

I got up and started walking, I got faster as the seconds went by. Why did I seem so far from my house. I started to panic, there was no doubt who Finn was talking about. I heard a noise behind me and I jolted into a sprint, I didn't know if it was my imagination or not, either way I ran. I could here footsteps behind me and I sped up. A scream was forming in my mouth but it wouldn't come out. I turned my head to see who was behind me, then I crashed into something, or someone. I let out a small scream and jumped up.

"What is with you?" Someone snapped.

Gill was on the ground with me, my heart was pounding hard. I was relieved to see him, he looked at me with a concerned look. I wanted to break down crying but I refused.

"What is wrong? Why were you running?"

I took a deep breath "Just taking a quick jog."

"At 1 in the morning?"

"I couldn't sleep."

The look in his eyes told me he wasn't buying it, but he got up.

"Alright then...how about we go inside?" He reached out for my hand.

I stared at it and took it, he lifted me up "We haven't done that in a while."

"What?"

"Well, you haven't slammed into me in quite a long time."

I smiled slightly and we walked inside, Finn right behind me.

He grabbed my arm before I could go upstairs "Why don't you tell me why you were actually running?"

"I told you--"

"I personally think that is a bunch of crap, the way you ran was not a regular run. You were on a adrenaline rush, something scared you. What was it?"

"I thought I heard someone and I freaked out." I was telling the truth, but I didn't tell him what Finn said. Though, Finn was invisible and only Yuki and I could see him. Gill used to see sprites, but that was when he was little. He still believes in them, he just can't see them. He also knows that I can see Finn, though there are times where I think he could see him.

"Tell him about the guy following you." Finn said.

I ignored him, Gill still didn't look like he was buying it "How come you don't tell me everything? I told you you could trust me." He walked closer to me and moved some loose strands of hair away from my face.

I sighed "Finn ended up with us the whole time and told me that there was a guy that has been following me, that is when I ran home."

He got wide eyed and stared at me "Do you..." He trailed off "Should we tell your father?" He asked.

"I...I'm not sure." I looked at the ground. I was still scared out of my mind, even though Gill was here. I could feel my hands tremble still, my body was tense. I stared at the ground, I didn't know what to do. I felt just as useless as I did when I was a kid. I looked up at Gill, who looked pissed. Not at me but something else.

"Gill...?"

"I'm going to get your father now, we need to talk."

"No, we don't even--"

"Either way there is a weird man following you..."

I looked at the ground again "Well, it could be just a coincidence, if Finn sees him again, I'll tell my dad."

I could feel his gaze locked on me, I looked up. His eyebrows were furrowed and his mouth was tightened into a line, his eyes had a bunch of things in them.

I sighed "It's fine Gill, I just ant to make sure."

He was silent for a few seconds then said "Fine." But he didn't move, he just stood there, gaze on me.

"What?"

"Nothing..."

More silence.

"What?" I snapped (Note: All of this is in whisper...ssshhh.)

"Nothing..." He looked to the side then back at me "Just that the last time someone told me they were fine they ended up dying."

We were both quiet then I said "I just want to make sure, it's Finn he could've confused..." I trailed off "Finn, what did the guy look like?"

"Oh...um..." He flew to grab a piece of paper, it kind of freaked Gill out because all he saw was a piece of paper fly in mid air. He grabbed a pencil and started drawing.

"Here." He handed me the paper, I stared at it for a long, long time.

"Well?" Gill sounded nervous.

"I...can't believe this..." I muttered.

"What?" I held up the piece of paper, he glared at it. I didn't know what to say, cry, scream, or laugh like a maniac.

"Apparently your dad is a creeper...or even more of a creeper than I thought." I muttered.

The picture was of Hamilton...dressed up with a mismatched mustache, plus he wore the Space Devil Hamil suit. He was red from embarrassment.

"I'm going to kill him." He had an evil look on his face.

"Let's not get too crazy..." I mumbled.

When I was able to get Gill to calm down we went upstairs and I went back in my room. I hung out on the deck with Finn.

"Can you sleep?" Finn asked.

"I'm just enjoying the view." I smiled then looked back at the ocean. When I ran, I knew someone was behind me, not Hamilton though. I clenched my fists and sighed. It could've been my imagination.

"Finn?"

"Yep?"

"Was there someone running after me when I was heading back to the house?"

"Um, I heard footsteps, but they stopped when Gill came outside."

"Huh." I sighed and walked back inside, like I thought it could've been something else. I was okay, but what if it was him and he followed me home?

I shook the thought out of my head and went back to my bed. I collapsed and I'm pretty sure I fell asleep before I even hit the pillow all the way.
