Ch.15     (One of my all time FAVORITE songs/bands, listen to the song with the chapter)

What if you take a chance?
What if I learn to love?
What if, what if we start again?

Micah's pov
After some mind clearing hunting through the city, I eventually made it back to the mansion. I had lost my tie and jacket at two different points of the night and I'm sure I would hear it if my father saw me.

Strolling into the foyer, I entered to see no one there. A few broken pieces of various things were strewn across the floor. I made my way up the grand stair case and hung a left to go to my room.

The strange, unnerving feeling in the pit of my stomach hadn't gone away since I had left Katherine. It was my intuition, telling me something was wrong. But I knew if she was in trouble she'd ask me for help.

Or Nathaniel..

I got to my room before anyone could spot me and slipped in the door. Shutting it behind me, I sighed and flipped on the light. I heard Greyson's door open and close, meaning he had heard me come home and was coming to harass me.

Pain in the ass.. He opened the door and slipped in right on cue. When he turned to face me, I folded my arms and muttered, "What?"

Greyson had a stupid smirk on his face and he raised his eyebrows, "What took you so long?"

Peeling off my black dress shirt, I tossed it aside and slipped on a white t shirt. Leaning against the dresser I replied, "Went through the tunnels."

Greyson just shook his head.

"What?" I growled.

His eyes twinkled like they always did when he got in his playful moods. Squinting his eyes at me, he said, "You can't deny what you feel for her, man."

I had no response to that and I had no intentions of carrying our conversation on anymore. So, I pointed towards to the door.

Greyson sighed dramatically, "Aw, come on Micah! Don't be like that towards your own brother."

I grumbled, "You shouldn't have called her Ariadne."

"Oh, like she knows what it means. She's clueless, Micah."

"And I intend on keeping it that way as long as she's still human."

There was silence. "You know that vampire got away tonight, right?"

Whipping my head around, I boomed, "WHAT?"

And then, very faintly, I heard a whisper, "Micah.."

I stood stunned only for a moment, then my legs were running out of my room, past Greyson who was calling after me, and out into the night to find her.

Kate's pov

I didn't dream.

But I kept coming close to conciousness. And I would hear bits and pieces of conversations, the movement of bodies in a room, whatever room I was in.

I heard things in my head that I knew weren't real, they were memories. Maybe illusions..

Kitty Kat?
