After last night's incident K.C sat on her couch as she drank a warm cup of tea. It felt as though what happened yesterday was a dream. K.C inhaled the ocean breeze that creeped through her cracked window. She looked outside to see boats drifting on the ocean, acting like they didn't have a care in the world. Just thinking about being carefree reminded her of Caspar before he left. Something inside her wanted her to go to town again and before she knew it K.C was walking out her door coat in hand. She walked down the same road, down the same hill, and past the same beach.

"Hiya K.C!" yelled the shopkeeper.

K.C smiled and waved back. It's only been a day since she arrived and the people already remembered her. This town was really friendly and K.C loved it.

K.C walked around town gazing at the shop windows in curiosity. Secretly she really wanted to run into the childish spiky haired boy. As she past the border of town she heard something that caught her ears.

"Man that kid sure knows how to get in trouble. He's being chased around again....."

K.C turned around to see two tan men loading boxes into a truck.

"You know I tried to talk to him but he just smiled and ran off.."

"Really? That's weird. He looked injured too. I hope he gets away from those guys."

'"Hmph.. Those shady looking people bring nothing but trouble."

The two men finished up loading their cargo and stepped inside the truck. As they started driving away K.C quickly ran after them.

"Wait! Excuse me!" She panted as the truck quickly jerked as the brakes were hit.

"Jeez miss be careful!"

"That boy! Where did you see him?" K.C panted. The man pointed to the next town over.

"I would just ignore him miss. It's too dangerous." The man warned.

K.C ignored him and began running toward the direction the man told her. She didn't know why but something in her felt wrong. Something was wrong. Very wrong. As K.C ran she prayed that Caspar would be okay.

CASPAR'S POV

I panted as I finally outran those guys in the suits. They've been chasing me for years and honestly I don't know why. I think it had something to do about the incident that happened 10 years ago. But I was only 9 so I don't remember much. I slumped against the alley wall and sighed. My body felt sore all over. I looked at my hands as they were covered with cuts and bruises just like the rest of my body.

I looked up to see that the sky was fairly clear today. The sun shined through the narrow alley way as I relaxed in its warmth.

It was warm just like that girl's room. What was her name? K.S, K.G, K.T?

I shrugged it off. It didn't matter,people who associated themselves with me only got hurt anyway. I wouldn't want that nice girl to get hurt since she took care of me. I looked back on last night.

When I ran from those guys I was already feeling sick. I thought I was going to get caught for sure. Then I past that girl and she covered for me. I remembered seeing that she left her key and running after her. Then I blacked out. I blacked out from hunger and exhaustion. After all I can never get sleep because of those freaking suit guys. I stood up took my phone out if my pocket. I flipped it open as I dialed my friend Gray. The phone rang as I put it to my ear.

"Hey Caspar! What's up man?" A voice laughed.

"Hey Grayson, got a minute?"

"Huh? Yah man what's up haha?"

I sighed. Gray was always such a laid back guy. Too laid back if you ask me, and this is from a guy that who got shot and started laughing.

" I need you to give me a ride back to our place? I'll meet you by that university."

"W-Wha? I didn't say yes dude! Nevermind see you in ten, bye."

I hung up and started walking back to Knysna. I felt exhausted from all the damn running I've done. I don't want anymore surprises for the rest of the day.

Of course that was my attitude back then. I should've known that this town never ceased to surprise me
