"I've been well. I was finally able to get away from the hunters that killed my family. I didn't want to lead them back to here. It's too dangerous for our kind. I figured it was finally safe to come back. I was still studying when they got my mother. I need to finish my studies if I am to live on the outside." She hugged Julie back. "If you need me I'll be in the bookroom." Kitty turned and walked to the bookroom. Kitty ran her hands over all the old books. 'I feel at home here with all these books but I can only stay until I have finished my reading. There's no way Leo won't come looking for me. I can't put my homeland in danger even if he is just a human.' Kitty grabbed the last book on the third row and opened it up and looked at all the symbols. She was reading in-depth descriptions of each symbol. She turned the page and froze. 'That's the same crest I saw at Leo's place.' She slammed the book shut in a panic. 'No no no no this can't be happening. Leo is a hunter. I can't tell anyone. I will have to leave here much earlier then I planned.' Kitty immediately put up a barrier on the airport that would alert her if Leo showed up so she could rush out to meet him. She would never allow him to find her real home.

Leo was trying to get information on different flights but all he knew was Kitty's name was Katherine. He never did get her last name. 'I can't believe I let her disappear on me. I shouldn't have been passed out. Wait a moment...how did I get so exhausted? It has to be all the work finally catching up with me.' He was struggling to not panic. It took Leo 6 months to figure out where she was. That's not to say he didn't try but between work and all the meetings he was put behind schedule. He caught the first flight he could to the Rockies.@@
