Stolen Fate (Final Draft)

Chapter 8; Locate

"This was where I remember passing out." Adam said.

"There is no blood, so it's either they cleaned up the blood or took your cat." Isabella said.

"Hopefully they didn't kill her." Adam said.

"No sign of blood either, maybe they just took your cat." Isabella said.

"Why would they take her? She isn't some special kind of breed." Adam said.

"I think I know what happened, you passed out and your cat ran away." Isabella said.

"Okay, but I did see someone before I did." Adam said.

"You will have to ask your neighbors then." Isabella said.

"I guess I will." Adam said.

"Well then, that's solved, is there anything else you need from me?" Isabella said.

"No, thanks for your help though, I still need to find my cat but that really helped me." Adam said.

"You're welcome, don't be stupid again, I am going home." Isabella said.

"Alright, be safe." Adam said waving goodbye.

"I will." Isabella said. Adam started walking home, he was curious if Alyssa got home safe so he called her. Meanwhile Alyssa got the call and ignored it.

"Sorry, you should take that." Derik said.

"No it's fine." Alyssa said.

"I need to head home, I have things to do." Derik said, Alyssa grabbed Derik's hand before he walked away.

"I thought you were dead?" Alyssa said. Derik stopped, he didn't like physical touch and snatched his hand away,

"I'm sorry?" He said.

"I am Alyssa from high school, remember?" She said. Derik then knew who she was,

"Ah, A-Alyssa, a pretty name, doesn't ring a bell, nice meeting you though." Derik lied.

"WAIT! I am sorry, you're right I got the wrong person but, can I have your number?" She said nervously.

"S-Sorry? W-what?" Derik hesitated.

"You remind me of someone really special, I just want to see if I can have your number?" Alyssa said. The word, "Special" went through Derik's head,

"Th-that's.." He paused, "How special?" Derik said.

"Well if I am being honest I used to be really close to him before he died, you remind me of him so much." Alyssa said. Derik smirked,

"Really close? You left me for that jerk Adam." He thought.

"So can I get your number?" Alyssa said. Derik sighed,

"You really didn't have to make up a story just to get my number, it's fine I will just give you it." Derik said as he grabbed her phone.

"Wait what?" Alyssa said.

"There, talk to you later." Derik said leaving. Alyssa realized that he thought she liked him.

"WAIT! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN!" Alyssa yelled. Derik was too far to hear. She sighed and called Adam. He picked up,

"Hey are you alright? Did you get home safe?" Adam asked.

"Yeah I am home." Alyssa lied.

"That's good, why didn't you pick it up?" He asked.

"I was just changing." She lied again.

"Ah, alright. I was just checking on you." Adam said.

"Thanks, I am fine, I have to go though, I will call you later." She said. Alyssa started walking home, in the meantime Tullius was going to the beach. The weather finally changed and many people were at the beach. He was sitting on his picnic blanket quilt. The sun was shining, and he was chilling and watching people play on the beach, a few woman came up to him,
