CHAPTER ELEVEN

We had been back from Orlando for a week now. I had talked to Sage twice and had promised him I would call Enoch today. I was still at the Baikov home – my house would be ready to move into in a couple of days.

I waited for the house to be empty. Dante and Tavian had gone out to run some errands and Sarah was spending the day with her dad. I sat in my room and dialed my cell, it rang once…twice…three times, then Enoch’s strong, certain voice answered.

“Hello?”

I took a deep breath. “Hi E, it’s me.”

He was silent for a moment “Little Sophia.” I could hear the relief in his voice.

I smiled. God, I had missed him. “Yeah, E, it’s me. How are you?”

“I am much better now; I’ve been worried about you.”

“I know, E, I’m so sorry. I never should have waited so long to let you know I was okay, but I was scared Irad would find out I contacted you.”

I fought back tears as we talked. I assured him I was okay and that I was happy. I didn’t tell him about the Baikov’s or Sarah. I trusted Enoch, but I figured the less he knew, the better.

“Sophia, you need to know that Irad’s narrowed down your whereabouts to four states; California, Idaho, Georgia, and Florida.”

“Crap really? He’s closer than I thought he’d be. What about Father? Where does he stand on all of this?”

“He won’t say anything yet. He’ll only step in if Irad goes too far, you know that, but he’s more curious than anything. Father came to visit last month. He’s wondering what you’re doing and why you left Ash.”

“It just didn’t work out and I’ve moved on. I got word that Irad is furious. I’m sorry to leave you to deal with him, E.”

“Oh, little Sophia, don’t you worry about it, I’m used to Irad’s tantrums. I’ve had many millennia to learn to deal with him.”

I laughed. It was true my brothers were very old.

“Sophia, will you be coming home?”

“No E, I’m sorry. I have a few things left to figure out and to take care of, but I promise I will call you as often as I can.”

“Alright. I miss you, little Sophia.”

“I miss you too, E.” A tear streaked down my cheek. “I gotta go. I love you, E.”

“I love you too, little Sophia.”

I hung up my phone and grabbed a pillow to bury my face in as I cried a few tears into it. I took a couple deep breaths and swallowed back the rest of my tears. I decided to head into town. I needed some retail therapy.

I hit a few of the local boutiques and then went into Jitter Beans, where Rachel worked as a barista.

“Hi Sophia! What can I get for you?” Rachel had the perfect bubbly personality, and bright smile, for this kind of job

“Umm, a blended, low fat mocha.”

“Whip cream?”

“No, thank you,” I said, pulling my sunglasses off.

Rachel gave me a concerned look “You okay, Sophia?”

Crap, my eyes must be puffy.
