“What did he mean by that?” Beth asked.
“Last time she went missing Crystal got her,” Marley reminded her. “He’s worried in case it happens again.”
“Oh God, I forgot about that.”
“And you definitely can’t get a fix on her location,” Danny said to Hecate.
“No,” she said, shaking her head again. “I’m sorry.”
Again we waited, Eligos didn't come back inside and Hecate kept trying to track her. I went outside with her in the end to check on Eligos.
“I’m gonna kill her when she gets back,” he told me.
“So you know she’s safe?” I said.
“If Hecate can sense her she’s not trapped and she’s not dead, so yeah, I think she’s safe.”
“Oh thank God,” I said, breathing a sigh of relief.
“Maybe we should go into town, see if we can find her,” Tyler suggested, walking outside.
“Yeah you might be right” Eligos said.
“Wait!” Hecate said. “Can you hear that?”
We stayed quiet and heard the sound of her car engine. She was coming up the road to the house. Everyone looked relieved and stood there ready to grill her for taking so long.
Her car appeared but didn't slow down. It was like it was out of control. It came through the open gates and we watched fearfully as it crashed right into the side of Lucian’s car.
“Keira!” Eligos shouted.
He and Hecate ran towards the car, the driver’s door opened and I watched in horror as Keira crawled out, falling to the floor at the side of the car. She couldn’t stand; every time she tried she fell to her knees.
“STOP!” Hecate shouted frantically, quickly grabbing Eligos. “STOP!” she said again, stopping them both from getting any closer to her. Tyler and I ran over as everyone else came running outside to see what was going on.
“NO!” Hecate shouted again. “STOP!”
We both stopped at the side of her and Eligos.
“Look!” she said, staring at Keira.
We all looked at her. She was kneeling there, shaking like a leaf in the wind, but glaring at us. I noticed instantly that her eyes were different. They were red, but every few seconds they would turn cobalt blue and glow for a split second, before turning red again.
“No!” Eligos whispered in shock and anger. “No.”
“What is it?” Marley said, running over. “What…Oh my God, the eyes!” she said when she looked at Keira.
“Your vision.”
“Eligos, what does it mean?” I demanded to know.
“Eligos, you lied. You said you didn't know what it was. You do!” Marley said. “What is it?”
“It…can’t be…It’s not…It’s not…possible,” he almost whispered, still staring at her.
“ELIGOS!” I screamed. “WHAT IS IT?!”
“…An angel.”

About the Author
I have lived in Droylsden, Manchester, all my life. I live with my parents and my younger sister, Cheryl. I never knew what I wanted to do with my life until I began writing. This is my dream.
I get most of my inspiration from music, I’ll sit there listening to it and suddenly I’m no longer in the room. My stories play like videos in my mind, then I go and write them down.
I’m a very dark person, I love anything spooky, supernatural, or unexplainable, and so that’s the genre I want to write in for the rest of my life. I love watching scary films, although I find it very hard to find one these days that actually frighten me.
