Chapter Three Part Two:

*Leon's P.O.V*

I glanced at the clock, 11:34 p.m, i continued to tap my fingers on the table. Where was she? She always comes back when she says she will. What if she was kidnapped? Or got hit by a car? Or something even worst happened?!

I mentally punched myself, shes capable of standing up for herself. We're damn shifters! She could turn into a tiger and eat whoever was going to hurt her. Why am i worrying so much?

I stood up from the table and made my way to the couch. Maybe my mind will wander off to something else if i watch some T.V? I looked around for the remote, and sighed. I didn't feel like getting up, so instead, i lied down on, letting my head rest on the arm of the couch.

I stayed like that for a few minutes, waiting to fall asleep. To many thoughts were flying around my head to just go to sleep and forget about Echo not being here and not even calling me to let me know that she's going to take a little while, but then again, if your being kidnapped, they're not just going to let you call up your friend and tell them that.

I groaned and sat up. Echo, you stupid girl! Now i have to go find you! Ergghh. I rushed to the door, opening it, only to find Echo staring at me.

"Uh...hi?" she said waving innocently.

"Echo..." i gritted my teeth, now she comes home? When i'm going to come find her, she just shows up. She brushed past me and into the living room. She sat on the couch and patted the spot next to her. I squinted at her. Waiting for her to explain.

"Well...uh, i was on my way here, and...i kinda got bored of walking..and a little hungry...So i kinda went to th-"

"What!? You couldn't have just waited so i could make you dinner and we could find something to do?! Do you know how worried i was about you?! You could have at least called! Or stopped by to let me know! What happened? Are you okay? Did someone take you?"

Echo rolled her eyes impatiently, and said "Can you let me finish? When i got there, this man came up and invited me into his house, and when we were there, he just smirked and asked me if i was gonna eat him...and i was! And then he told me that hes a Shifter too! And i know because we talked with the whole mind reading thing, and this week he's gonna take me to a dog fight!!!"

My eyes widened, she was excited about this?

"Having me worried to death is exciting? Going to a dog fight is exciting?"

"Yeah, because he says he fights, its a shifter dog fight!"

I had to admit that did sound kind of cool, but i was to mad to stop and be all jolly with her. I shook my head at her.

"What about the trip to see your parents?"

"Meh...i don't care anymore, Aaron is so much more important." she smiled.

I just dropped the subject. She was going to find a way for me to stop talking about it either way. I decided i was going to make dinner whether she was hungry or not. I don't care if it's 12:00 in the morning. I'm starving.

I opened a cabinet and pulled out some Cap 'n' Crunch, a bowl, milk, and a spoon. I did the normal procedure of making cereal and sat down at the small four person table. I grabbed my spoon and scooped up some peices. I watched as Echo got up and copied me, just getting Lucky Charms instead.

She sat across from me, and stared at her cereal, making sure she didn't scoop up any marshmellows so she could save them for when she was done with the other irrelevant peices and only have marshmellows in her bowl. I always found that cute for some reason. Ugh, un-needed thought.

Speaking of thoughts, i wondered what Echo was thinking right now. Did she think i was overprotective? I would have never done this, but i was too curious to think twice.

I dipped in to her head and listened.

'I wish i got to spend more time with Aaron, get to know him more, but stupid Leon and his stupid face has to worry about me'

Yup, overprotective. I looked in again.

'I wonder if i'll be able to fight. I hope there are more guys that look like Aaron, he's hotter than life. He's so brave for fighting other shifters, i can't believe there are more of them! And plus he's funny, unlike Leon, well Leon's somewhat funny i guess? If you call fart jokes funny? I'm pretty sure he thinks i'm a boy and that i want to hear all that stuff. I hope Aaron's not like that...Wow i'm hoping a lot. Mehhhh, just eat the stupid cereal and go to bed, did Aaron give you his number? Did he even have a phone? I don't remember seeing him take out his phone during any time..but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a phone. Maybe people don't text him?.'

I frowned, she thought i wasn't funny? What, does she hate me now or something? Just because she found Aaron and his 'funnyness and hotness and braveness'. She's obsessed with Aaron and she's just met him today! I would go the those shifter fights just to beat the guts out of him.

The only problem is is that i have no fighting training or experience at all. So unless i wan't to be smushed like a pancake the moment i step in that box then i better get to it. Well, first i should probably get to know him before i judge him based on dumb Echo's oppinion and thoughts, which i shouldn't have been looking in in the first place.

I finished my cereal and dumped the milk in the sink, i hated cereal milk, especially Cap 'n' Crunch milk. Blechh. I gagged at the thought and walked out of the kitchen. I didn't wan't to go to sleep, but i didn't want to have to interact with Echo either.

I figured i mind as well go on the computer and go on facebook, because everyone knows you can waste time on the internet. I signed into my facebook and opened a new tab to sign in to myspace.

A chat popped up the moment i signed on from someone i didn't know. Could that happen? I didn't think Facebook allowed people who were'nt your friends to talk to you. Oh well.

The message read

Unknown: Jealous, much?

What? Jealous of what? 'Unknown' must be looking for someone else.

I quickly typed back,

Leon: I think you have the wrong person.

Unknown: No, Leon, i don't.

Leon: Uh, who is this?

Unknown: None of your business, all i know is that you're a shifter, meet me tommorow night near the old bridge. The one that isn't used anymore.

Leon: Oh how cliche, what are you going to rape me then kill me?

Unknown: Only if you want me too.

Unknown is offline.

What the hell? It's not that creepy that he knows my name because it says it off my profile. But for some reason, i have a feeling that i should follow his directions and go to the old bridge. How did he know i was a shifter? My profile doesn't just say "Oh i'm a shifter, bla bla bla". I reviewed the chat, it was creepy, he was creepy, i mean it was creepy. I hope it's a guy, that would be awkward if it was a lady.

Just then Echo walks in and i struggle to exit out of the chat before she sees it. If she want's to think of me like that, then she doesnt need to know whats going on. I'm not even going to tell her where i'm going tommorow night, and i'm going to stay out until 12:00 in the morning and make sure i don't call her to let her know i'm alright.

"Listen," Echo started, "I'm sorry for not letting you know that i was okay, i'm sorry, i should've at least called."

"It's okay," i smile genuinly and wave her off "Go To bed, you must be tired."

She nods and heads up stairs. When shes gone i smirk and laugh evilly to myself. I'm pretty weird.
