Chapter 13 - Complacency

“Enter,” Chevalier said, and wondered who was knocking on his office door at 3am.

Anna entered with Allen in her arms, and he was crying, “Sorry to bother you, Sir. I can’t calm him down.”

Chevalier took Allen in his arms and he immediately settled down.

“What’s wrong?” he asked the toddler.

“Bu bye,” he said, waving to the hallway.

Chevalier pulled Allen close to him, and Allen rested his head on his Dad’s shoulder.

“Where’s Em?” he asked Anna.

“I don’t know. I found Allen scooting down the stairs by himself, and she isn’t in her room,” Anna said, worry sounding in her voice.

“She left Allen alone?” Chevalier frowned, that wasn’t like her.

Anna shrugged, “She must have.”

“Take Allen back upstairs. Kyle and I will see if we can find her,” he said, and handed the half asleep toddler back to Anna.

Anna left quickly before Allen could realize he wasn’t with his Dad anymore.

“Kyle?” Chevalier called, stepping out of his office.

“Yes, Sir?” Kyle asked, blurring by his side.

“Em’s gone, we need to find her,” he said to Kyle.

Kyle grinned, “Fight again and she took off?”

Chevalier frowned, “Anna found Allen coming down the stairs alone, and she’s not in her room.”

“Wait… she left Allen alone?” Kyle was beginning to become concerned.

Both of the heku headed out to the barn.

“Sam?” Chevalier called out, and the familiar quickly appeared.

“A bit late for a ride isn’t it?” he asked, yawning.

Chevalier looked around the barn and saw Patra in her stall, “Have you seen Emily tonight?”

“No, I haven’t. I take it you two fought again and she took off?” Sam asked, stifling another yawn.

“Would you both stop saying that? We don’t fight all the time,” he growled at Sam and turned, but Kyle was gone.

“Hey, Chevalier?” he heard Kyle call from outside and the heku appeared at his side.

Chevalier didn’t need to ask what Kyle called him for. He could smell the sweet blood strongly outside of the barn, “What in the hell is she doing out here?”

Kyle shrugged, “Odd that she didn’t get Patra,” he said, following the scent.

They walked through the dark pastures, following her trail for almost thirty minutes before Chevalier stopped suddenly, “Is that her?”

Kyle looked where Chevalier pointed and saw a still figure standing along the trees, unmoving.

As he blurred closer to the form, he could tell it was Emily. She was standing perfectly still and looking into the trees. Although it was a cold, rainy night, she was wearing only her nightgown and her hair fell down her back.

“Emily, what are you doing out here?” Chevalier asked.

“Em?” Kyle said, appearing by her side.

They both waited for her to respond and followed her gaze into the trees, but didn’t see anything.

“Emily?” Chevalier said, stepping in front of her and looking at her face. She didn’t move, and her eyes didn’t pull away from wherever it was she was staring.

“Em?” Kyle said again, and snapped his fingers in front of her face.

“Emily,” Chevalier said louder as he put his hand under her chin and lifted her face to look at him.
