The next day, I took on Brain's suggestion and took a few days off to cool my head, though, I did it under protest, but he was ever so sure that he could do everything while I'm. Hey, whom am I to argue with a werewolf. Learned it a long time ago the hard way.

Ridding along the highway to get to the safehouse where I sent Ariana and Sara, I noticed something along the way in the rare view mirror. Someone was following me and have been for a mile or so. I wasn't scared though, it worries me. Because I'd be risking Sara's and Ariana's hiding place. What if it's an enemy? I can't let them discover it. I kept clam and driving, passing the exit that I need to take towards their hideaway. After a while, the person decided to take the next exit. I later take the next exit just to be on the safe side. And when I felt like it's safe to continue, I rerouted to take the exit and let out a huge sigh of relieve.

But that tailgater had thinking all the way over. Questions like Who was it? Was it my brother? Strange it would be this soon. I drove for another hour before reaching the gates to the Werewolf safehouse. I pressed a red button to buzz them to let me in and what do you know it. One of them, actually answered and spoke. "Yes?"

I was lucky enough to hear none other than Bill Mcgrown's voice. He's alpha male of Athena's clan, The Silverbacks. But it didn't start out that way for him. Over a couple months back, he came with a purpose to take Ariana back as his wife but ends up with Athena instead. It was just as well, considering they weren't the perfect fit. They had an arrange marriage and it never worked out the first time around.

"Bill, it's me," I said, over the speaker.

"Damion, oh, what thou, I owe the pleasure of you granting us with your presences?" he asked, as I rolled my eyes and chuckled.

"I'm here to see my daughter and my wife," I said.

"About time," he says, buzzing me in and letting the gates open on it's own. "Come on in."

I slowly drove into his clan's territory. Because, even though I'm welcome, there's still a possibility of getting attack by some random supernatural beings and I have to be aware at all times. Because of the laws set by the founders, all territories are up for grabs. And, The Silverbacks, aren't about to lose all their new and profound territory. It's the best part of the city and that's one battle I don't want to be in.

I kept an eye out until I spotted one of the soldiers standing in the corner as if he was waiting for me and nodded. Apparently, Bill had already talked to him, otherwise he wouldn't let me pass at all. Still, I went slowly, watching the soldier from the rearview mirror, taking position with his standing tall stance and his back facing me.

After arriving at the safehouse where Ariana and Sara were staying, I let out of a huge sigh of relief and lend back into my chair. Trying to relax myself before going on inside, considering that I didn't want them to see me this nervous.

I slowly opened the door. I was going to sit on the steps of our safehouse when I noticed a familiar car sitting on our temporary driveway. A red with sliver lines Ferrari with the brightest and shiniest sliver reels on it's wheels. I recognize it anyway as my eyes widen and my sad face turned into a smile. That only means one thing. "Daddy!" I yelled, and ran up to his car, where I saw him lending back in chair and hugged him tightly. "Daddy! You're here! You're actually here!"

He was smiling and chuckling at the same time. He hugged back and kissed me on the forehead. "I missed you sweetheart," he says, snuggling his nose against my own.

"I missed you too, daddy," I said, happily, feeling a tear rolling down my left cheek.

He got out of the car and wrapped his right arm around the shoulders. He then pulled me close against his hip and started walking towards the door, where mom sees us and smiled. But before he could reach it, she ran up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. I giggled, considering that I thought for sure that she was about to break it. I didn't blame her though; it has been a long year without daddy. Ever since the disappearances started, daddy had us brought here for safety, considering that he was worrying about my uncle being out and starting another uprising like he did in the past.

I can understand it because I can sense something coming and coming on strong. Just like daddy can see the future, I can sense it and feel it at the same time. I shivered at one point as if a cold chill entered the atmosphere and blew over us. I crossed my arms together and pressed my chest tightly.

"Sara, is everything alright?" Daddy asked, looking at me as if he knew what I was sensing and feeling.

"Yeah, it's just chilly out here."

"Right, let's go on inside, before you catch a cold," mom stated.

And we did, we were finally together again. Once inside, daddy was amazed on how we decorated the safehouse. If we were going to stay here longer, we might as well make it feel like it was home away from home. We showed him everything including our rooms.

"Wow, you guys," he entered each room and noticed every detail. "You went all out."

"Yeah, we wanted to make feel special," mom stated, as I giggled and scratched my head.

...

We eat as a family in what felt like forever. I mean, it was nice and all, but at the same time; it was awkward. I guess it was one of the disadvantages that being separated have on us. Mostly, it was quiet. So, I broke the silent up with a question.

"So, daddy, how was work?"

"Still going kiddo," as he looks down at his meal and sighed. "We even have a new victim added to the case."

"Do you think...Gulped, is him?" I asked, but he only smiled and shook his head.

"No, kiddo, it's not your uncle, he's still in jail, serving time for what he did in the past."

"That's not whom I'm talking about, daddy," I said. He and mom just looked at me very confused of what I'm saying.

...

Damion Jones

Well, of course I'm confused about what Sara meant when she'd mentioned "him," but at the same time both Arianna and I were a little curious about it. And from what I see on Sara's face, she seems deeply worried about this person. What's concerning me, is that she's collaborating with Seth's story about a copycat.
