Chapter 2

A New Way, and a New Life…

"Elizabeth!" shouted Tony as he ran towards the girl being interrogated by the heist man.

"Stay where you are, boy," growled the masked man but Tony kept coming. !Bang! Olivia and some other ladies in the room screamed in terror but Elizabeth couldn't do anything to calm anyone down. Tony was lying on the ground bleeding profusely from his right side of his chest… it was close enough to the heart to be life threatening and her stomach clenched as Elizabeth watched Tony's white shirt change quickly to a deep scarlet.

Olivia started to cry extremely loud from fright and sorrow. "Shut up! Or else you'll be next," threatened the man. This only made Olivia cry harder and Shawn, wrapping his arms around Olivia and retorted. "How dare you talk to her, and stay away from Elizabeth!" Two more gun shots rang through the room; silent tears ran along Elizabeth's cheeks as she put her hands by her sides… one thing was for sure, she wasn't going to listen to this man anymore.

"Hey! Put your hands back up and wait there until I get the money then we can leave…" the masked murderer said looking at Elizabeth. She looked into his harsh grey eyes and stood there unmoving. "Listen to me or I-" he didn't get through his next sentence. The hazel-eyed beauty had punched him hard in the jaw and had started in on the rest of his body. Some one grabbed her from the back and she quickly used the SING formula from Miss Congeniality. Then she went back to the ring leader. Somehow, Elizabeth took his mask off and looked at the man who had killed her best friends and her brother. She saw the grey eyes accompanied with a strong jaw and a full-head of flaming red hair and… pointy ears? This caught her a little off guard but she was still able to knock him out with a quick hit to the temple. There were ambulance and police sirens approaching the restaurant.

Elizabeth went into her eclipse and drove away to her house. She locked her car and walked to her front porch where she found disturbing evidence of danger. The door had been torn off its hinges and there was glass covering the floor. Elizabeth walked in cautiously and called out, "Mom? Dad? Where are you?"

There was a note laying on the table and she picked it up and read:

Dear Miss Elizabeth,

Don't worry about searching for your parents for they are dead and far away from where you stand now. We'll be coming for you soon…

Sincerely,

Troy Kalahari

Elizabeth backed up and ran outside onto her lawn. The snow was coming down swiftly but it wasn't thick. She sighed sorrowfully. 'What am I going to do now? Obviously, someone's coming after me and there is nothing I can do about it seeing as I don't know where they're coming from…' she thought.

"Miss?" asked a soft male voice. Elizabeth came back from her thoughts and looked at the boy standing a few feet to her right.
