Chapter 35

“What the heck?” Morgan complained as she raced after Miley. Miley had slammed the bedroom door and locked it before Morgan could reach it and slammed her back against it. She could not let Morgan see those pictures.

“It’s okay. I’ve…” Miley struggled for the words to say, “I’ve got to go to the bathroom a minute. I’ll be right out.”

“You know how hard it was to track you down?” a man’s voice boomed and Miley gasped in surprise as she turned her head to face him.

“Who are you?” She questioned with a scrunched up face. He looked familiar but she just could not place him.

“You don’t remember me?” The man frowned. “That’s unfortunate.”

“I’m sorry but I’m having a hard time placing your face,” she shrugged. “Can you remind me?” Miley said slowly standing up.

For some reason, the man felt trust worthy. She knew deep down she trusted him, even if she could not remember him. It was as if she had known him for years.

“I guess, it’s normal to forget when you’ve been gone for so long and I’m sure he used amnesia potion on you.” The man said slowly stepping forward.

She thought about that. Where had she been and for how long? Miley pressed herself backward and to the side. Though she felt as if she trusted the man with all her heart, she still could not remember him and it was making her nervous.

“Don’t do that.” The man complained as he stepped closer to her once again.

“Do what?” Miley replied quietly, taking another step away.

“That,” The man groaned. “Don’t move away from me.”

“I don’t know you,” Miley said defensively.

“You do, you just have to remember.” He shrugged and with two large steps, he surrounded her with his arms, pinning her to the wall.

“Leave me alone,” She said in a squeak.

“I can’t do that.” He rolled his eyes.

A sharp knock on the door made Miley turn her head toward it. “I’ll be right there,” Miley would have said to Morgan, but the man spoke up first.

“Darling, Miley’s busy right now, I’ll have her call you later.”

Miley’s eyes bulged and she turned toward the man with a sharp glare. How dare he speak up and tell her friend she was with him?

“Miley, are you alright,” Morgan asked.

“Tell her to leave.” The man said in a soft tone.

Without another thought, the words left Miley’s mouth, “I think you should go home. I’ll call you later.”

A choked giggle and cough mixture burst from Morgan’s lips and Miley was sure she was covering her mouth as she spoke, “I’m soooo sorry about interrupting Miles. I’ll come back later. Don’t forget, I want details.”

With that, Miley could hear Morgan’s footfalls as she walked across the apartment and out the door.

“How did you get in here?” she questioned.

“My dear, there is so much you don’t know about our kind.” The man said in a thick accented voice announced as he strode toward her.

She cried, “Stay away from me!”

“I can’t do that,” he frowned.

“I’ll call the cops!” Miley threatened, though it felt so wrong.
