CHAPTER 16

Emma leaned against Ethan's side as they walked along the beach back to the house. The warm air caressed her skin and she couldn't rid herself of the goofy smile on her face. It had taken a lot of prodding for them to get her out the house, but she'd finally relented to Ethan, Jill, and Mandy's insistence that she had to at least try to keep having fun.

She'd had a couple more drinks than she was used to tonight, but she'd been hoping to ease some of her strain over the awful events of this day. Walking down the beach with Ethan though, feeling his body against hers, she could almost forget everything that had happened and the fact that Tristan was somewhere on this island. It was peaceful here and she felt secure with him and her friends so nearby.

Jill and Mandy were just ahead of them, giggling together as Jill ran through the sand and did some strange dancing motion with her hands and legs that made Emma realize that she was actually the sober one. Though lights from a couple of bars and some homes filtered over the sand, there were few people on the beach at this time of night. Emma stifled a yawn as Jill began to twirl in circles that looked more like a spastic marionette than the ballerina Emma thought she was trying to emulate.

"She's not going to try out for a beauty pageant is she?" Ethan inquired dryly.

Emma chuckled. "I hope not."

The gentle sound of the ocean on her right was almost enough to lull her to sleep on her feet as she stifled another yawn and snuggled closer to Ethan. Jill began to sing, which was the one thing that was even worse than her dancing, as she hopped back to Mandy and slid her arm through hers.

"I think I'm going deaf," Ethan said.

"Can you make me deaf too?"

She'd meant the question to be airy, but he had become rigid against her and abruptly stopped walking. Emma frowned as she turned toward him. His eyes were narrowed, his eyebrows furrowed over the bridge of his nose as he searched the night around them. His nostrils flared, his head began to turn slowly back and forth. Apprehension slid down her spine, she'd never seen him look like this before, never seen such a look come over anyone else before.

"Ethan?" she asked. Jill's singing was growing distant but Ethan remained unmoving upon the sand. "Ethan what's wrong?"

A shimmer of movement to the left caught her attention seconds before Ethan pushed her forward. "Run!" he spat and turned away from her.

"What?" she cried.

"Run Emma! Now!" he shouted. A scream swirled up and choked in her throat as she swore his eyes flashed red when he looked at her over his shoulder. That was impossible though, completely impossible, no one's eyes could do that. He was pushing her forward before she could even pause to consider what it was that she might have seen in his eyes.
