"Blake will be here soon, Kate." Elektra informed the small girl and she smiled when she mentioned his name.

The daycare was closed and as usual, Elektra and Kate were the only ones left. It was almost dark outside and she was beginning to wonder if tonight was going to be as silent as it has been three days ago.

It seems as if any activities of the monsters have stopped. This was worse than the time that there were no zombies coming out from their graves. It was as if no monsters came out at all. The forest was eerily quiet and Elektra and her companions have returned to their houses earlier than expected. She was not sure she would go out patrolling again tonight, since there was nothing for her to do. However, she still couldn't find Vlad and Magnus and she found it a lost case.

She was terrified that she would meet them during the second full moon. She needed to find them before anything happens at all but their tracks always were wiped out and carried with the wind. She couldn't find them, nor Henry or Angela.

Fortunately, since Alfred came back, things had been easier for her. Alfred volunteered to search for Vlad and Magnus and his team of Elves were already searching the whole town last night. All she needed to do now was to wait for the news.

Her eyes wondered around the daycare and found it clean enough. Readjusting her glasses, she went to the counter to take her things before joining Kate at the bench near the door.

"So, how's your brother doing? I haven't seen him in a while."

His name brought out a smile on her face and she could not help but to think of the late phone calls they had these few nights. Blake had to go to San Francisco for a business meeting three days ago and she had not seen him since the night they were attacked at the cottage. Blake had been really busy with the family business and he missed school for it. She has missed him so much and felt extremely guilty since their last meeting was not really delighting.

She wanted to apologize to him but she had not seen him in schools and Owen, his bodyguard was the one to pick up Kate from school. She finally was able to apologize when he called her four days ago, in the middle of the night, right after she killed zombies in the graveyard. She returned home to find few missed calls from him.

Being her curious self, she called him. He told her that it did not matter as she was having a hard time and he completely understood. His words and actions had been nothing but sweet and courteous that it got her falling in love with him all over again.

Blake was finally returning home today and she could not wait to see him for she has missed him. Moreover, the school's ball was coming soon and she could not contain her excitement on going with him, as friends of course.

"Blake's fine. He said he brought back lots of chocolates from San Francisco." Kate replied with a wide smile on her face.

Before she could reply, the doorbell chimed and the door flung open.

Came in that handsome man wearing a black sweater and dark blue jeans. His eyes twinkling with happiness and his lips curved up into a smile. Hopelessly, Elektra found her breath taken away again.
