Chapter 14: Chapter 13: NATALIA

Someone walked through the door of the little restaurant and all my senses went on high alert. Whoever it was had somehow sent my system into a tailspin. Not human! The thought made me look up in haste just as my sisters turned to the door as well as if they too had felt the invasive presence.

At first glance I got the shock of my life and almost fell from the seat of my chair. It's him, I'd know that face anywhere and this feeling, it's the same one I'd felt earlier this morning in the woods only a lot more intense. Had it been him out there watching, waiting?

For a split second his shield shifted or he dropped it intentionally and I had to force myself to remain seated and not jump up from the chair and make a run for it. I was aware of my sisters doing the same as the four of us tracked his every move. Like prey in the presence of a known predator.
