Chapter Three:

*Leon's P.O.V*

I looked at the clock, 12:34 pm, oh thank god. I had three hours to find Echo's Father.

Yesterday, when Echo told me that she wanted to find her mom, i thought she was kidding, but the way she looked after she said it confirmed that she wasn't.

I'm not sure why she want's to find her Dad. She always told me she hated him and that she would never forgive him for what he did. She also never told me what he did, but i guess she's not ready to talk about it yet.

Echo told me that her dad owned a hardware store somewhere in Oklahoma, and right now, i'm going to have to go online and search for that very store. I sighed, walking towards the desk that held the small laptop. I sat down in the office chair and ran a hand through my hair before clicking Google Chrome and going to Google. I should probably start off with his name, to see if i can find his location and contact number or something.

Zeke Mallory

I typed and pressed enter. A Ton of results came up, and i new this was gonna be the longest three hours of my life.

*Echo's P.O.V*

"Thank you for shopping at Kammunity, Please Come Again." The cashier told me, handing me my change. I was eager to get home, hoping that Leon found Zeke's store.

I wonder how he's doing? I've never actually met him, surprisingly, my mom always said i would never wan't to meet him because he wouldn't be what i expected and what he "did" to her was the most terrible thing shes ever been through.

That alone made me want to meet him even more, to find out what he did that caused my mom to decide that i shouldn't be apart of his life. But now, she's not apart of my life either, so i can pretty much do whatever I want.

I grabbed my 2 small grocery bags and walked out of the medium-sized supermarket, i wish Leon would hurry up and get a car already. I'm tired of walking everywhere, my feet are killing me and i'm tired as hell. How to Change that..?

A little light bulb appeared above my head and a smile appeared on my face. Hells Yes.

I walked towards a street me and Leon knew very well, there were no street lights and most of the houses were abandoned and ruined. No one lived on this street, but everyone knew that entering this area was like a death wish. The fact that i was wearing short shorts and a white tank top didn't help either. Oh, and not to mention it was freezing out, i'm surprised it's not snowing.

I laughed outloud, this is gonna be perfect. I stood in the middle of the street and wrapped my arms around myself, pretending to be freezing, when i actually loved this weather. I looked both ways to pretend that i, also, was lost, just to add the fun-ness to it.

I waited, until i got exactly what i was practically asking for.

"Exscuse Me, Miss, Are you lost or somethin'?" i heard from behind me, i turned around to see a man in his mid-twentys grinning at me, he had brownish blonde messy hair, and almost yellow-like eyes, he was wearing a leather jacket and denim jeans. His jaw was chizzled perfectly and I was hoping he would be an ugly fatass, but unfortunatly he was fine. Oh well. I faked a shiver and nodded. His grin became wider and i refrained from grinning back.

"I was walking around because i just moved here, i wanted to see my new neighborhood," I lied smiling innocently.

"Ah, i see, how 'bout i go make you some tea or whatever you want to drink," he said carefully, trying not to make me suspicious, "and then we can get you back to your house?"

Damn he gets straight to the point, good, makes my job 100 times easier. I smiled "I'd like that," i say like we're actually going to drink some tea and chat.

"Follow Me," He said, and walked towards his 'house'. The house he led me to was like the other ones, if he didn't think this would get me suspicious then he was an idiot. "Here we are," he said pointing to the old house.

It looked like it was leaning to the right, the brown colored paint was chipped, there were vines running up the sides, and there was something that looked like the porch in front of it. He walked to the doors and i followed close behind, opening an abused door he lead me inside.

I watched as he closed the door behind him and locked it. He was now smirking.

"Your an idiot." he said laughing, wait...what?

"No you are," i said smiling.

"No, listen, you don't think I'm an idiot do you? 'Cause trust me, I'm far from that..." he continued to smirk.

I stared at him, paying no attention to what he was saying, he was so cute when you looked at him in the light, his smirk was actually like a smile, and his eyes, oh his eyes, you look into them and you just get lost, there perfect. And his hair is like a brown and black and yellow mixed together with a dab of white, the little stubbles of hair on his jaw was perfect, too.

Before i realized what i was doing, i said "Whats your name?"

"Aaron, and you?"

"Echo..." i was still oblivious to everything.

"Echo? Nice name, were you planning on eating me tonight?" he asked and i snapped out of it.

What the hell..? How'd he know that? He's probably kidding, "If you think i'm kidding i'm not, it's not that hard to know who else is a shifter, too." he says. I was frozen, how'd he know?! And he said that last part, about being able to tell who else is a shifter, too. Does that mean he's a shifter?

"Yeah, i am, is it really that surprising? You know all purebred shifters are amazingly gorgeous, look at me." He pointed to himself, then at me,

"And you..." he added, looking me up and down and smirking again.

I felt my jaw on the floor but couldn't quite pick it up yet.

You Can read minds?

i said in my head to see if he actually could, he nodded and i opened my mind,

Yup, and you?

i got back, i felt my jaw go through the floor this time. He chuckled, "I'll take that as a yes,"

* * * ***** ***** * * * ***** ***** * * * ***** ***** * * * ***** *****

It's been an hour since i found out he was a shifter, and now i'm sitting on his couch talking to him about a whole bunch of stuff. The house is pretty nice on the inside, it's like everything's slightly new. And Aaron is super nice, and also very cocky, but he's cute like that. We've talked about how he moved here a couple months ago and why he chose right here.

He said he's a street fighter and a dog fighter, he doesn't bet, though, he fights. The whole idea interests me, and i'm pretty sure i wan't to try it out.

"Can you take me to a fight?" i ask him, kind of pleadingly, i need something to do other than nothing.

He raises his eyebrows and says, "Hmm, i thought you'd be appalled, but sure, why not."

I got excited and jumped off the couch and over to him, "Thank You Thank You Thank You!" i screamed and hugged him,

"Geez, it's only been an hour and your already all up on me." i could tell he was smirking, cause that's all he ever does, is smirk.

I really needed to head home now, saying i was supposed to be home already and Leon's probably worried about me. Now that i think about it, finding my dad and my mom is a stupid idea, they probably don't care about me anyways. I bid Aaron adieu, and when i was outside i heard his voice in my head say

'I read your mind when you were thinking about me and how perfect i was,' I flushed from embarresement. Damn.
