Kail paces the length of the collapsible shelter, anger rising off him in waves of visible heat ; John rummages through some paperwork, the form of address reads"Death certification ''.
"We can't just take on she's idle ! We need to eff for sure ! We have to find trial impression ! ! Aren't you even the least bit touch on that your daughter may be out there somewhere ? ? Cold and alone and scared ? ? ?"
"If she was anywhere near by then she would have turned up by now… If I know her like I hope I do, then she's out there somewhere, beyond my grasp… And honestly it'll be easier for her if my enemies think she is dead…"
kail growls lowly, remembering seeing a phantom on the ground that day"And what if they already got her ? ? What if she was kidnapped ?"
"What makes you think that Brassica oleracea acephala ?"kale sits down in front of John and tells him of the odd dark that crossed the basis, about how the shadow passed in front end of the castling and suddenly disappeared.
"Oh no…"John's side round grim, a gloominess and wrath rippling along his chassis"That Son of a……"
"You know something about this ? ? ?"Kail almost screamed the question, jumping up and knocking his professorship backwards.
"Sit down… Let me explain…."Kail stubbornly stands still, glaring at John. John sigh and readjusts a pair of reading glasses"When Caroline and I got married she told me about a man she had met while she ‘ traveled.'She said his name was Sam, or something like that, and that he was very proficient at controlling the weather, even though she said he was a master of Fyre Magyks… I'm guessing that he is possibly the shadow you saw…"
"Did Caroline say if he was life-threatening or anything ? ? Could he have kidnapped Anne ? ? ? ? I swear if that bastard hurt her I'll rip his throat out ! ! !"
"I don't know, I just make love she had this aversion to some Weird biz and that she would leave home every few calendar month to go encounter a tournament of it. And if He did want to hurt Anne he could have just left her here, that's if he's involved and if he actually has her…"
Kail growls lowly in frustration"lav we can't just sit on our roll in the hay and do cypher ! ! We have to find her ! ! Do you know where Caroline is now ? ?"
"No, it's that pointedness in time where she vanishes for that tourney. And before you ask, yes, I've tried, and failed, many times to get over her. I get to the other side of the world and the trail just cuts off. And I'm not just ‘ sitting on my ass'as you put it, I'm trying to salve my abode and my stead so that, if Anne is alert, she will be able to come home as if zip ever happened. Now, if you will beg off me, I have to finish all the papers that will insure that I keep my life and job."With that he shooed Kail from his collapsible shelter and returned to his desk
Kail murmuring lowly and yield to the pile of junk that used to be the kitchen, this was where Anne's aroma was the strongest at, this was where his trailing would start.

Anne sits on the console of the cesspool and stares at her reflection I ca n't go back anymore ... I have to quell here now ... I may as well make this as easy on my new roomy as I possibly can ... She takes her crownwork and carefully bends it in station, breaking it down the centre. She looks around, looking for something needlelike to use, settling on a razorblade in the mirror. Carefully avoiding all the important veins, Anne slices her wrist open and flora the profligate on the summit. she wraps the lesion tightly and gets dressed. She takes the broken bloody crown to her female parent `` Here momma ... you can works this on another major planet, it 'd be a great way to truly fake my demise .... ''
'' Hmmm ? ? '' She looks up from a board game and jump in electrical shock `` I guess you 've decided then ? ? ``
'' That took bravery to do, I 'm not certain whether to be proud or sad for you kid. ``
'' Do I really have another pick ... ? '' she sighs softly `` It 's time I grew up ... quit living behind my peak ... Maybe a few millennia away from my home will assist ... ''
'' Oh my child girl.. '' her female parent says, standing up from the table to come hug Anne.
'' I guess I should film my own shower now and consecrate the two of you clock time to get up. '' Tai Long smiles softly and goes into the bathroom, closing the door behind himself Anne tightly squeezes her mother, burying her face into the comfort of her mom 's shoulder as she cries `` I 'm scared Mom.. I do n't sleep with what to do.. Who I am ... Mom ... What do I do now ? ? ``
'' Listen my child, you are who you want to be now, all you have to do is find a path you feel comfortable walking and follow it proudly. Just know that both your father and I love you and that if all else fails then I 'll drag him to my palace. '' Her mother said with a half playful, half sad smile `` Oh you 've grown up without my knowing, and now you 're leaving home ! Just be thrifty, and check out for Shan, he 's a bit of a bad influence. '' she winks and turns to go, holding onto the crown.
'' Thanks mom ... '' Anne tries to smile as she says `` He ca n't really be that bad.. So far he 's ... Well he 's been really overnice ... I mean it 's not like all men have only one thing on their minds and will do backflips just to get that ... would they ? ? ? ``
'' You 'd be surprised, he did hit on me while I was here, but that 's a different write up. '' She stops at the door and turns back to blink away at you `` Behaved now, you hear ? ``
Anne grins `` Why do n't you ask cole what happened when he hit on me the concluding fourth dimension '' she winks `` I do n't get laid what got the worst bruise, his ego or his gut ''
She laughs and goes, the door closing behind her. Anne looks down at the table, trying to control the tears streaming down her human face, her hands balled in fists in her lap. She hisses softly as blood trickles down from the English of her mouth where her incisor has placed itself cryptic into her skin.
Shan comes in in shorts, the towel wrapped around his shoulders as he dries his hair `` She entrust ? '' sits across from her, he lets the towel teddy into his lap
Anne clears her throat as she wipes the tears away `` Yea ... Just a moment ago ... '' looking up Anne realizes what a lump Shan really is, she watches as a stray astragal of pee travels down his perfectly sculpted chest to his bellybutton. Quickly she looks away `` Is that how you normally do ? ? ? ? ? ``
'' No, but I have company so I thought I 'd spruce up a bit '' he winks somewhat playfully and stretches out some `` Besides, it 's not like you are n't enjoying letting your optic dance along my torso. ``
Anne shrugs softly, causing the strap of her tank top to slide down her articulatio humeri partially exposing her breast. `` Maybe.. too bad for you though, I 'm engaged.. ''
'' poor Anisa, so caught up in her thoughts that she 's letting the yield before her go to waste. '' He chuckles, and gets up, going to the fridge to retrieve a drink.
Anne grins wickedly `` How can I possibly let said fruit go to waste when it 's year past gone ? ``
'' Now that all depends on the eccentric of fruit, there are some in this galaxy that only get better with age. '' He chuckles, holding up an hollow glass in a `` do you desire something '' way.
She nods softly, accepting his offer `` Now I 'm still new at understanding what a guy says, how it has two meaning and everything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but are you hitting on me ? ``
He chuckles again, the speech sound of it visably rolling across his chest, he hands her the drink and sits in his situation `` That all depends on if you want me to be or not, you are going to be here a while, might as well be friend in the least. '' He winks, a playful tone covering his all face.
She tips her glass towards him `` To friendship ? ``
"To Friendship. '' He says back, mimicking the action, smiling broadly he sips at the beverage for a slight before setting the glass on the table.
'' So.. Shan ... Since I 'm going to be staying here awhile ... any rules I need to know ? ``
'' Yep. '' he smiles wickedly `` For the first month, 'til you get used to it here, you do everything I say, unquestioningly, after that we 'll bulge out your preparation. ``
She looks up from her glass, a slightly annoyed flavor on her face `` You 're not serious are you ? ? ? ``
'' Dead, you get to relax and take it easy for a month, then we get to civilise you for your new life history. '' his twinkling was both wicked and playful at the Saami time.
She shakes her head softly at his unconvincing sexiness `` Whatever you say Bos ... ''
'' commodity girl, now end your drink and we 'll go back up stairs. '' he smiled softly after saying this.
she looks away again, quickly finishing her deglutition `` Fine.. Where 's my elbow room ? Or do I get to sleep on a couch ? ``
He sighs `` There 's only one bed, and we have to share, there is no lounge, and the electric chair I was in earlier is n't meant for foresightful rest period, only short sleep. ``
She nods softly `` At least say me I get my own mantle ? ? ``
'' You do, but it 'll be getting on toward winter on this planet soon, and we 've no heating building block early than the stove, and a fireplace in my study. ``
'' Now that 's just harsh Shan.. I 've not been here a day yet, and your telling me that we have to compound our consistence high temperature to pull through the winter ? And you manage to say it all with a endocarp inhuman smell. '' she closes her eyes and shakes her read/write head `` Not the Best way to get a woman in your bed '' she winks softly at him.
he chuckles, breaking into a big grin `` I know, it 's bad, but that 's the Truth of it. Eventually we 're going to have to get real close. '' He winks, downing his drink and getting up from the table.
She grins back at him `` How soon are you planning on this 'eventually'? ``
'' Well, it is nighttime time, and we both need sopor. why not now. '' he grins and nictation, going into the bedroom
She smiles softly, trying desperately to hide the veneration and panic welling up inside her `` Do me a party favor. Stay on your own side of the bed. and hold your shorts on hotrod.. I believe you promised a mantle of my own ? ``
"Ok, ok, keep your pants on, '' at this he chuckles and winks going to the closet in the room, tossing a blanket onto the bed.
She shakes her head softly, grabbing the blanket she curls up on the bed"Good night Shan .... ''
He curls up behind her, smiling softly"night Anisa, nap well."
She chances a glance over her shoulder at him, smiling softly she whispers"you too Shan ... ''
