Moonlight Path

A face to a name

Bonnie just stared at the man standing before them, what were the odds that the person they were looking for would show up at a nowhere. Bonnie didn't have a bad feeling about the man however it did seem oddly suspicious to her, or eerily coincidental.

Tyler narrowed his eyebrow studying the man, his face was flushed but he didn't seem out of breath. Tyler knew he was human, he could hear his heartbeat, but there was an odd smell, not a bad one, just a different one. Tyler waited to see if he could get a feel of the man, but he could, good nor bad. Standing up Tyler made his way towards the man and held out his hand.

Zander took it and gave him a firm yet gentle shake. You could tell a lot about a person by there handshake, and Zander's told Tyler he that as at the very least a respectable person.

"Tyler... and we have actually..." Tyler let go of the man's hand so not to make it awkward and took a step back. Zander's hands had also been warm... a little warmer than the average human but not quite as hot as Tyler ran.

Zander glanced at Bonnie studying her with a small smirk. Shaking healed out of her daze Bonnie walked towards the man and held her hand out as well. "Hi Zander, I am Bonnie.."

Bonnie held the man's hand a little longer than Tyler had, because she would I get even a better read than Tyler and she knew it. Zander seemed to know as will because he just squeezed her hand lightly giving her the time she needed before she finally let his hand go, her heart skipping a beat.

Zander felt warm, and kind... and everything in Bonnie told her he was good. However she couldn't shake the fact that they had been looking for him and wondering who he was just to have him pop up out of nowhere, at her Grams house, or she should say Matt's.

"I can tell you are all wondering how I know you were looking for me." The man said  placing a hand on his chest. His voice was deep and husky, warm and mellifluous, all in one.

Zander looked around the room from Matt, to Tyler, and then to Bonnie. He chose to speak to her, which to Bonnie picked up on.

"It is rather curious that you have shown up randomly here, yes. I have many questions, but perhaps we will start with... how did you know we were looking for you Zander?"

His name fell off of her tongue with ease and grace. Tyler felt a twinge of jealousy. Clearly his throat he motioned for Zander to sit down.  " it's suspicious is what it is." Tyler said raising an eyebrow "but you seem willing to explain."

Zander nodded taking the seat Tyler motioned to. The man sat straight, as if he were brought up on a rich home full of fancy etiquette. His eyes studied Matt who has moved to look out the window, as though he was searching or expecting to see something.

"I am alone." Zander said as though answering a question to Matt despite Matt not asking one.

Seemingly satisfied with the answer Matt more to sit in the seat he had been in prier answering the door.

"I understand each of your suspicions and concern." Zander said glancing at Bonnie. With a small nod he held out his hand to the empty seat across from him.

Bonnie slowly made her way to sit down catching the man's gaze. Her heart beat rather quicker than she felt it should. But with a deep breath she just nodded.

Tyler took a seat beside Bonnie, sitting closer than he normally did, aside from when their children forced them together on a couch. If Bonnie noticed she made no sign. Her gaze had been glued to the man since he had walked in.

"Allow me to explain." Zander started . " The journal is tied to me, so the moment it was recovered, I felt it and headed towards it. On my way I was notified about  my name being searched, I found that trail, and it led me here, to my book and to you all. As for who I am, I will keep it to a minimal. I assure you I am not here for any negative reasoning towards any of you, I am not on the dark side of things. If you wish to not believe me, you are welcome to do so, however, I do give you my word; I am not here for any foul reasoning. However if my book has been recovered, it means it was meant to be."
