Chương 52: Chapter 52: TALON

The stupid dog was barking like crazy. I could hear it from damn near halfway down the street. The closer I got the more worried I became. Skye would never let her dog bark like that and the dog wouldn't be barking like that if...fuck me.

I started running with my heart in my throat. Please don't be hurt baby, please-please- please. That's all I kept saying to myself with every pound of my feet against the pavement.

My hand actually shook when I turned the key in the door. There was someone in our house that I'd never seen before. I looked past the strange woman to Skye who was sitting on the couch looking white as a sheet. She looked unharmed as far as I could see but I had to be sure so I walked over to her still ignoring the stranger.

"Baby you okay?" I knelt at her feet and took her hand in mine, ice cold. I didn't know who she was but I knew this chick was bad news.
