At Esther's new residence:
Freya knew the guy. She hadn't seen him before, hadn't spoken with him before, but she knew him. She knew him from the vision she had seen when she had touched Esther's scarf.
She also knew him from Aiden's memory, one of the many he had shared with her. She knew him from the one that had spoken of the bullying of Emma at the café. He was the one that Aiden had thought quiet, but not entirely innocent, even though he looked like it.
Aiden had read off an unsettling energy from him, and Freya was beginning to see that. She was beginning to see that the boy wasn't what he seemed to be. She wondered what exactly he was.
A shifter like the others? She wasn't sure, but she wasn't about to cower in fear. No. Her people thought her better. She would fight this out. She would be leaving here with Esther, and nothing can stop her, not at this point.
