Memories

Chapter 9

  Bow and Dark stared at the computer screen, flipping through images of blue and white houses in the area. Nope... nope... nope... nope... "Try for blue and white houses out in the country, I think mine was out there." Bow said, tired of looking through all the blue houses in the city. "Ok." Dark said and typed in a search for that. These looked more promising! And then, the seventh house that popped up, was the one from her memory. "There it is!" Bow squeaked loudly, earning herself some glares and shushes from other people in the library. Dark clicked on it, "Ok, it's 1224 Cresent Ave, in Starlight Grove and... Oh wow it's 100 miles from here! How are you gonna get there?" One hundred miles... Oh well. "I'll walk, I guess." "No you won't, you're not gonna make a hundred miles in a day and what's gonna happen if you get stuck outside at night?" "I'm outside at night anyway." "Yeah, in the park. Where they have have security cameras and there are people walking around all night. Side of the road though? Even if you were invisible that's dangerous." Bow sighed. "Ok..." Dark looked relieved. "Good. Now, let's go get some sleep and we can talk about this tomorrow, maybe with Vaba since he knows what happened anyway." Then she tapped Bow on the head. "And I'll know if you're getting any ideas, I'll just say you don't wanna see my dark side so don't try anything." Bow couldn't help but giggle. "Ok, I won't. Thanks for the help!" "Yeah, no problem." They walked out of the library and split up, Bow back to the park and Dark to wherever she was going. 

   Bow settled down on a bench, excited that she'd found her house and resisting the urge to start running that way right now. She was so excited that she'd forgotten the black shape she'd seen, and didn't see it return. At least, until it jumped out of the trees and tried to grab her. Bow instictively turned invisible as it flew towards her, and jumped out of the way. She was almost certain it'd landed on her foot though... But she wasn't touched and stood still beside a tree, not daring to move or breathe. The thing, a big black wolf, looked around and growled. "I know you're here..." He growled in a husky voice. Bow held her breath. "I knew it..." He growled. "You're already dead... No wonder you escaped so easily the first time... Hehehe half my job already done, just your annoying friend now." Already dead? How? And Vaba was in trouble! The wolf stalked off, in the direction Vaba always left in. Bow, though it scared her out of her mind, silently began to follow him. He couldn't hurt Vaba... She followed him across the town, up to a small white house. Neatly kept, but oddly empty looking. The wolf went right up to the door and started picking the lock. Time to do something... Bow decided. She snuck up behind him and tackled him, and turned visible for some reason before wrapping her paws around his throat. She felt a weird heat seep through her, and an overwhelming anger took over. She squeezed his throat tighter and he began choking. Then Bow felt like she was being torn in half, one half telling her to let go and call the police, the other half wanting to kill him in painful ways...
