Recap...

"Umm," I cleared my throat "I need to go. Good bye Peter."

He backed up even more "Why are you saying goodbye when we will be seeing each other again?"

My head whipped around but he was gone. "This is just the beginning... Mteçellia."

The way he said that sent shivers down my spine, making me wonder what it actually meant.

The wind blew in my face blowing his scent up my nostrils.

"He just disappeared?" Sage was looking at me incredulously as we were packing up our things. She had told me that we were a day's hike away from Home...Finally. We're going to my dad's kingdom.

"Yes! He just almost kissed me, said some cryptic words then went poof." I was feeling pretty frustrated, why would he do something like that? My mind was already full of problems as it is why add and more complications?

"Poof?" She snorted "That's the best you can come up with?"

"Yeah but that's exactly how it went. One moment he was there, then the next...Poof!"

Sade tisked disapprovingly "Boys are stupid, don't let him affect you." I was surprised that Sade had been forgiving after I had lashed out at her, especially when I broke curfew.

**FLASH BACK**

I am totally and utterly lost. Curse Peter to the depths of the fire pit, how dare he? He just popped up out of god knows where and then messes around with my head. Now not only am I lost and confused, my mind is reeling with questions.

I don't know how long I was stumbling around in the woods for, but the sun had nearly set and it was really getting cold. What was I supposed to do again?

I went through the conversation with Sade earlier this morning, and cringed remembering the harsh words I had used on her. Oh right, the navigation spell!

What was it anyways?

"Occiomo primus...maximus?" Was that in Latin or elfish? I didn't even know.

I waited...then a warm wind blew from the west. And a pale light shone in a trail, I just knew to follow it. After a while of following the trail of light for quite some time I reached the clearing.

"Where have you been?" I didn't even step a foot in to the glow of the sunset when Sade tackled me in a hug. I was so stunned that I couldn't speak.

"I-I..." I stuttered, to say that I was surprised would be an understatement.

"I was so worried!" Sade didn't seem to notice my incapability to speak or react. "I thought that you had been lost and that the Lycanthropes had gotten you..."

I just stood there stiff as a board unable to do anything but breathe. Sade's reaction was so weird, usually she was all emotionally detached and brooding. Now she's all worried and caring, it's just very unnerving.

And then... "I can't believe you could so stupidly storm off into a forest! And not just any forest, an enchanted one at that! You could have been kidnapped! Or even killed! Or worse!"

Before she could say anymore, I started to tell her what happened, the only part that I left out was the vision. I didn't know why but something inside me told me that telling her the vision would be a bad idea.
