"So...uh..." Ace said.

"So who are you missing?" Claire asked. "What's their name and  stuff?"

"Skylar Jones and Theodore Arena, Theo," Olivia said.

"Theo is your brother?"  Claire asked.

Olivia nodded.

I walked over and sat with August. He was just three years old. Could not have been walking when he lost his sister. I wonder if he knows why he's here. I wonder if he knows he has a sister somewhere. I thought back to the boat Raven has told me about.  They were there. Weren't they? Peyton, Sam, Alex and Eli, May, and the little boy that they didn't even have long enough to name. I watched as August tried to fit together blocks and smiled. 

"One day August, you will have an older sister to play with," I told him. He looked at me and gave me a block. I smiled bigger. 

"Kids! We have to go!" Aunt Amber said forced as happy as possible.

"Bye Claire, Bye Emma." We all said.

As we piled back into the car the stars began to come out. Aunt Red pointed out some constellations. Aunt Amber corrected her on one of them. Saying that it was Ursa Minor that Red had pointed at not Major. Aunt Red lightly hit Amber. 

When we got back to Uncle Jake's place we all ate some pizza and I was pushed off to bed. I held my necklace in a fist at my chest. I thought about what Emma had said and Raven's ring. Raven had never felt the heating feeling before. We have never found anyone outside the family who was a shifter. Aunt Red said she met a few in England but not since Raven was five. I wondered if Raven would be able to recognize a shifter with that ring or if she would pass it off as nothing. If Emma was saying Peyton was a shifter, would Raven have caught it? No, unless Emma was one too. I tried to clear my mind and managed to get some sleep.

'I woke up to a phone going off. Confused and out of sorts I blindly tried to find my phone. I nearly fell off of my bed but couldn't find it. I heard it get clicked off and Jake spoke.

"Hello?" his sleepy voice said. There was a long pause' -Shifted, Chapter 23

'The moonlight streamed through the guest bedroom window. The light pooled at my feet. However, that was not the reason I had woken up tonight.' -Beyond, Chapter 19

Ursa Minor sat on the top of the tree line out the window. I rolled over and crawled out of my bed. I saw Aunt Saundra and Uncle Jake sitting in the kitchen. Saundra holding a phone to her ear. I walked past the stairs and into the bathroom. As I was walking back I saw Aunt Saundra jump up and hug Jake.

"Don't get too excited this is just a possible lead. Who knows if this is the boat or not." Uncle Jake told her.

"I know but I just am so excited to get my girl back." She told him.

"I know. Me too. And we will just maybe not this first try." he explained. I couldn't help but be excited. Just the possibility of them coming home so soon makes me happy. I went into Logan's room and woke him up.

"Fawn? What's going on?" Logan said sleepily. I smiled hearing my nickname. He holds the fact that he is older than me over my head calling me a fawn, a baby deer. 

"They found the boat they think Skylar and Theo are on!" I told him in a whisper.

"Really! That's amazing!" He said hugging me.

"Ok sorry, you can go back to sleep I just needed to tell someone but don't tell them I told you Ok?" I told him.

"Okay." he laughed.

"Goodnight." 

"Goodnight" (2/12/19)
