grabbed her purse and her keys and headed out to the garage.

“Oh my Elizabeth is everything ok? I mean it is not my place to say anything, but I have never heard you talk to your mother in such a tone.” Julie said wrinkling up her blond eyebrows in concern.

“Everything is fine Julie, it was just, well a very long weekend.” I smiled back at her reassuring her everything was just fine.

“Well then you should be off to school before you’re late. I am going to get busy with my chores. See you at dinner?” Julie asked quietly.

“Yes, I will see you at dinner!” I grabbed my backpack, my lunch Julie prepared for me, my keys, and headed to the garage as well. “Bye Julie”

“Bye Elizabeth, have a great day,” Julie said to me while she cleared off the table.

Chapter 13

With my keys in hand, I went to where my car was parked in the garage. I always had to stop and admire my car before I could get in.

My father had bought me a dark blue 2010 GT Shelby Coup Mustang with white racing stripes from rear to bumper. I received it when I had turned sixteen.

Now can you see why I can’t just get in? I actually have to stop and stare. I would be the one to have someone chasing me, trying to do a number of different things to me and I would stop long enough to admire my gorgeous car. Then everyone would hear on the news about Elizabeth Marcus found murdered in the street. Yup that would be me because my car is so gorgeous. Even after having a year and ten months later, I still have to stop and stare.

I pressed the button on my keys to unlock the doors, I opened the door and crawled into the charcoal black leather seats, that also had racing stripes.

I loved my steering wheel because in the center the signature cobra was etched on it. My car has so many different things that I could do with it. It has an optional Sirius voice activated navigation systems, it also has a SYNC system as standard equipment.

It provides me with 911 assistance, vehicle health reports, and Bluetooth

capabilities. The best part, well besides the car itself, is that I have an Ambient Lighting System that gives me the options to customize my dash and interior lighting. Which by the way are red, plus the lights illuminate the door scuff plates. It was a newer update to the older mustangs that was for sure. Don’t get me wrong I love the old mustangs, but sometimes new is just better. It also had the shifter knob with a racing-stripes theme, they wrap around the knob from end-to-end. I loved my car.

I started up my car and looked through my review mirror before opening the garage. I was startled when my eyes connected to Landon’s. I was not scared I was just surprised to see him standing there.

While still looking into his dark black eyes, I flipped the switch to the garage door. I dropped the door switcher causing me to lose eye contact with him when I reached down to pick it up. When I looked through the review mirror again, he was gone with no signs that he was even there.

I even turned around to look through the black tinted windshield, but he was gone. Eerie, I thought to myself. I wonder if I am going to have another stalker. But I was also disappointed to see that he was gone.

I thought about Landon on the ten mile ride to school wondering why he would just stand there and not approach me. Yeah, he said he was a demon. I believed him especially after the hole in my floor disappeared when he did, but I was not scared of him.

In fact, I was drawn to him and I was not sure why. He was gorgeous even though he needed a bath big time, his hair trimmed up, and don’t get me started on his teeth. I would love to get a hold of him to do a makeover. That is if he would let me, but I had a feeling he would let me do anything I wanted to do to him.

I pulled into the parking lot at school luckily, a little early. Every morning when I get there early, most of the other kids are

standing outside around their cars. When I pulled in they all stop talking and
