Kay walked slowly past the Harmony police station and was suddenly drawn to the life-forces inside. She peered through an open window and was hypnotized by the strong auras filling the small room. She was two teenage girls, one blonde the other brunette, a young Latino man and a married couple sitting around, talking about a missing teenager.

Kay accidentally knocked over a plant holder resting on the window sill, sending it crashing to the ground. Everyone in the room quickly looked over at the window and Kay made herself vanish.

She reappeared miles away at the Harmony Book Caf�. She opened the door and walked in, cautiously. She noticed no one seemed to notice her and she found a cozy spot in the corner of the caf�.

"So, this is where you went off to?" Aubrey hissed in Kay's ear.

"How'd you get here?" Kay demanded jumping out of her seat and turning around to face Aubrey.

"I followed you here. This town has some extremely high life forces of good and evil," Aubrey smiled showing his fangs, "I think this will become my new hunting grounds, for the time being."

"No! You cannot hunt here!" Kay hissed, "This is my territory now! I've claimed it!"

"Is that anyway to talk to you master, Avaelon?" Aubrey smirked.

"You are no longer my master," Kay said threw clenched teeth, "I've found my own hunting grounds. If you don't leave I will destroy you."

"Well, if you feel that strongly about it, fine." With that Aubrey disappeared.

Kay slid back down into her chair and closed her eyes. Her mind was filled with more memories of her past. Her eyes flew open as she recognized the people from the police station, "My family," Kay whispered.

Kay left the caf� and made her way towards her old house. She stopped in front of it and noticed how empty it looked. She opened the door and slowly walked into the large living room. Her mind was bombarded with memories as she walked through the house and up to her old room.

She placed her hand on the knob and she remembered several things that had happened in the room.

"Kay? Is that you?" she remembered the voice, "It is! Kay, you're home! Mom, Dad, Kay's home!" She had been to caught up in her memories to notice the auras in the house. She knew who it was now, her younger sister, Jessica.

As everyone ran up the stairs, Kay quickly made herself vanish.

"Where is she?" Sam asked, reaching where Jessica was standing.

"She was just here," Jessica said wiping away a tear, sliding down her cheek.

"That's the second time this week," Grace said, putting her hands over her face.

Kay reappeared in her bedroom closet, "Where am I now?" she asked herself quietly. She opened the door and walked into the bedroom, "It's my room." Kay let a smile cross over her face. She heard the door squeak as it began to open and she jumped out the open window.

She landed on her feet right outside of the kitchen window. She walked around to the back yard, but quickly stopped when she saw the blonde-haired girl again.

The girl's aura made Kay's hunger intensify. Kay made herself invisible to the human eye and began walking close to the young girl. She stopped inches from her throat. Kay opened her mouth exposing her fangs and was about to sink her teeth into the girl's neck, when she was bombarded with more memories.

This girl was her cousin, Charity. Kay knew she disliked Charity, but would never kill her, so Kay closed her mouth and ran away from the house as fast as she could.

She fed on a homeless man that night and found her new home, a large, abandoned house across the street from her old family's home.

Chapter 5

Jessica looked out her bedroom window, at the house across the street from her own, "Have you seen the people who bought that house yet?" she asked Charity who was sitting on Kay's bed.

"No, but I did see someone in the window looking out last night. But it could've been my imagination," Charity answered. Jessica nodded and the two walked dwon stairs.

Kay sat in her dark room thinking about her past and rather not to act upon her feelings. She remembered loving the boy more than anything else and her heart was fighting her mind about what to do about it.

"So, this boy," Aubrey sighed, "you are in over your head, Avaelon."

"How did you find me?" Kay demanded.

"Well, it's rather easy, Avaelon dear, I followed your scent," Aubrey smirked, "Now about this boy, I'm betting he'll make a good meal."

"You better not go near him," Kay said through clenched teeth.

"Oh, don't worry Avaelon, I won't have to," Aubrey smiled and disapeared.

Kay flew out of her house and took off to look for Miguel. She found him at the book caf� with, who she remembered as Reese. He was fine.

Kay spent the rest of the day following Miguel around and watching over him.

Close to midnight that night, Kay was beginning to hunger again and had to find a quick meal, as she was turning around to look for food, she found herself face to face with Miguel.

"Kay?" Miguel asked quietly.

"Miguel..." Kay whispered and then turned and ran off.

"Kay! Wait!" Miguel yelled as she ran off.

When Kay finally reached her home she broke down on the floor and began to cry.

The next morning, when Kay opened her front door to pick up the local newspaper, she was horrified at what she saw on the front page:

Local Police Officer's Brother Missing!

Aubrey wrapped his arms around Kay's hips, "I'll give you one day to find your little boyfriend."
