The Lost Come Home

Chapter 5

Day's POV:

She kicked me out, she just ordered me out while I was helping her. I must have struck a nerve.

I walked back to my apartment to find Eden dozing on the couch.

"Eden!"I say raising my voice to wake him.

"I'm up, I'm up," he yawns.

"I'm home," I stated casually.

"Really? I'm not sure but thanks again Captain Obvious," he over exaggerates the eye roll he gives me, then sits up and gives me room to sit. "So why didn't you stay all night?"

"She kicked me out."

"No way! You go June! Girl power for life!"

I can't take this, I stand up and crawl out the nearest window. I climb up to the roof of the building which is only a few stories away. I was up there for maybe five minutes when I see a sleek black figure jump out one of the windows a few stories down and land on a nearby roof. I decide to do the stupid thing which is to follow her. All the way across town, she slides in the window and I perch on a balcony with a good view in the window. I watch June walk into the main room of the apartment and flop onto the couch. Someone I never though I would see again came into view and I nearly fell from my perch. Tess?

I watch them for about hour and then June gazes out the window, to late she has seen me. I'm gonna deserve the punishment I get. She stares me down for a little while then looks away. I decide it's my time to leave so I jump from the balcony to the next one and leap from balcony to balcony until I reach the ground. I start to walk back to the apartment but I don't even know which way to go to get back. I sit down on the damp ground and wait her out.

She comes out the front door after ten minutes, not the way I thought she would get home. I start to follow twelve feet behind her then I remember that she is a trained spy, she most likely already knows I'm here.

She still won't talk to me. Every time she needs something she calls Eden not me, Eden. She is just trying to put me in my place for wanting to assassinate Anden.

My phone goes off, I pick it up hoping that it is June, it isn't.

It says, "Come over."
