Cai began to edge closer to see if he could help. But as he did the dark figure raised his head and saw Cai. He halted and stared at the man in the cloak. If it was a man. Cai was not even sure of that; it was so hard to see. Even with his enhanced sight.
Then, Cai caught site of the figure’s eyes. They were glowing, almost pulsating in fact. That re-ally freaked him out. He did not expect that at all.
As Cai tried to turn away, he felt something tough his mind, and it chilled him to this soul. But no matter how hard he tried she could not pull away. The dark figure continued to approach. He tried once more to pull away, but nothing worked. Then, everything went blank.
When Cai became away once more, he found himself standing over a body, covered in blood. It was all over him. He looked around but he was the only one around. What had happened? Did he do this? But how could he not remember seeing what just happened? Then, something stared to come back to him. The dark figure in the cloak. He looked around him but could not see the figure anywhere. Then Cai suddenly heard a police siren and looked down at himself. He could not let them see him like this or they might think he had done this.
Cai turned and was

just about to start to run when he was caught in the headlights of the patrol car. Cai froze for a moment, then turned to run. But not before he two police officers caught sight of him.
“Oi, you!” one of them called.
Cai glanced at him for a moment, then turned and ran. He was not staying around here long enough for them to arrest him.

Lily slowly walked out of the library, her concentration on the book in her small hands. It was a good book and she promised herself to look for the sequel very soon. On Amazon. Lily always liked to read the first book, or at least a good portion of it before she considered buying the others in the series. And this one was worth considering.
Lily turned when she heard footsteps on the wooden stairs and saw Nick descending.
“Have you seen Cai?” he asked.
“He’s not back yet?” Lily answered, looking up from her book.
“What do you mean, not back yet?” Nick asked, stepping closer.
“Cai went out last night,” Lily explained. “He asked me to go with him, but I didn’t feel like it.”
“And he hasn’t come back yet?” Nick asked again, becoming concerned.
“Haven’t seen him,” Lily answered, returning her attention back to her book.
“Well, where is he then?”
