I shake my head. "No, but I think she knows we are following her. If she's a chosen one...she'll know."

I look around and see the inn up ahead. Tess said that Max was around here somewhere. She's always been good at finding one of us so i make a suggestion so I can keep an eye on this woman.

"Hunt down Max then find me. I'm going to find out where she's going." I start off after her making sure I stay far enough away that I don't look too suspicious. "Oh, and pick up Isabel while you're at it." I say before getting too far from her.

Okay, so. Ahem. I'll post as soon as I can (Geez, I seem to be repeating myself all the time). I'm just trying to settle down a bit.

“Be careful.” I say but Michael has already disappeared into the crowd after Maria. I stand there for a moment, wondering if it was such a good idea for Michael to go after her alone. I shake my head, knowing that I’m stupid for worrying. Michael is perfectly capable of looking after himself.

I turn on my heel and head back to where we had left Isabel at the library, deciding that it would better to find the taller blonde and then search for Max. Within a few minutes I’m at the library and I walk in, scanning the place for Isabel.

“Isabel,” I say in a whisper, not wanting to disturb the other people. “Something has come up. We’ve gotta find Max.”

I can feel it, my senses are going wild. Someone is watching me or following me but I'm not quite certain whether I should lead away from the others or continue on. Damn! I shouldn't have risked revealing myself that way. I should have known better. I hope Liz and the guy's won't kill me when I tell them what happened.

Nearing a familiar cropping, I quickly walk through and place myself out of sight, deciding it's best to find out for certain if I am being followed or if I'm being paranoid as Liz often claims I am. I'll just wait for a bit and then see what happens. If nothing does, then I'll know one way or the other.

Michael

Through the crowds I follow her, staying back far enough so I'm not easily spotted but keeping her in my sights. I can't help but wonder where she's going? Is she truly a chosen one? Could this be the lead we've been looking for?

I turn a corner and she's gone. I stop in my tracks and look around, scanning the few people that are strolling about. Muttering a few curse words I take a few steps forward. How could she have disappeared like that? I was only a few steps back.

"She can't be gone. Not now...not after all this time of looking." I say running my hands through my hair.

I listened carefully, quietly and simply peaked around the corner to see that the stranger was there, looking around as though frustrated or something. I had the vague feeling that he'd been following me and after drawing a deep breath, I placed my purchases on the ground at my feet and stepped out of my hiding place before speaking. "Why are you following me?"

I tried to keep my voice cold and keep my expression distanced, but I wasn't exactly the best at doing that. I just hoped that he wouldn't realize that I was nervous as I clasped my shaking hands behind my back. Damn it, I really need to talk to Liz about some better way to contact each other when there's a problem.

I narrow my gaze as he remains silent at first, more then likely surprised that I was there, "I asked, why the hell you are following me?"

Michael

Having her step out and ask me a question nearly had me jumping out of my skin but I carefully concealed my reaction. I turned and looked at her, my face looking a bit confused.

"Excuse me?" I ask. "I wasn't following you." I lie. Isabel is the only one who's been able to see through my lies and I'm hoping it would stay that way.

I don't know why I lied. Maybe it was how she was suddenly defensive when back in the main square she'd been kind. Or maybe I wasn't ready to let her know my suspicions of her, or why I was following her.

I watch her and I can see she's hiding something. Her voice is even and accusing but her body is telling a different story as her hands are behind her back, probably keeping them from my view, and her eyes, they keep shifting away from me like she was scared I'd see something in them. I wonder if I would?

~Maria~

He looks at me with a cinfused expression as he begins, "Excuse me?" I simply narrow my gaze further, "I wasn't following you."

I look at him, searching for evidence that would prove that he spoke true, but something kept telling me that I was right. Nothing in his mannerisms gave it away, but there was just a feeling. "Look, I don't have time for games. Stop following me and we'll leave it as is. I'm not going to fall prey to whatever it is your trying to do and I am not a girl that is easily messed with."

Without another word, I moved to get my things again and then looked at him once more, "Just go back to whatever you were doing before you ended up... helping me." Damn, here I go... already feeling myself softening. Why can't I be colder? "Which, by the way, I appreciate, but now I'd like to just be left alone." Yet, even when I should walk off angrily, I find myself standing there and waiting for a response.
