Cam.”
    “ Interesting, keep an eye
on him and tell me if he shows any other signs.”
    “ Yes, my
master.”
    “ That is all.”
    Once again the Fae glass was clear. Monroe
changed back to cat form and padded out the cat door into the
backyard. He walked around toward the front yard stopping to
relieve himself on a bush. He decided to wait for Gretchen to
return just in case the Vampire decided to get frisky. He climbed
up his favorite tree in the front yard and waited until he saw
Gretchen walking toward the house. She was holding hands with the
Vampire. They stopped at the front door. Gretchen gave him a kiss
on the cheek and he left.
    Monroe jumped down off the tree and just as
the Vampire passed him gave him a good hiss and took a swipe at
him.
    “ Watch it kitty or I will
suck you dry.” Tanek hissed jumping out of the way of Monroe’s
claws.
    That’s right you better run.

Chapter 11
    Cam woke up from her
restless sleep. She looked at the clock;
it was 3:00 a.m. She couldn’t stop
thinking about Richard and the way he ran from the kitchen. The way
he looked at her made her melt and wish she could have more than a
life on the run with her baby. She decided to go get a snack in the
kitchen, the pregnancy made her feel like an endless hunger
machine.
    She made herself a tomato
and cheese sandwich with a side of carrots and began eating. The
house was very quiet and it made her uneasy. In the other realm there was always
lots of activity even at night. There were several types of Fae
that were nocturnal. She thought about the Fae portal and was
tempted to get in contact with Kieran to let him know she was okay.
Perhaps she could cast a masking spell and contact him. It would
only work for about two minutes but
maybe….
    Cam stood at the stove
stirring the concoction to mask her location from the Fae portal;
she had been cooking it for almost an hour. Deciding it was ready; she grabbed a potholder and took the
pot into the living room where the portal was located. She put the
steaming pot on the hot pad on the floor in front of the portal.
She stood behind it letting the steam infuse her. She was finally ready; she knew she was taking a big
chance even with the spell.
    The portal starting fogging up and Kieran
appeared. She could see the worried look on his face as he realized
who it was.
    “ Cam, my darling is that
you?” Kieran asked.
    “ Yes, Kieran I’m here.” She
could tell he was very happy to see her. Looking at him, she just
wanted to tell him to move on. She wanted to find real happiness
with Richard, but that was nothing more than a fantasy.
    “ I don’t have long, I just
wanted to let you know, I am fine. I found a safe place to dwell.
You should live your life and not bother with me.”
    “ Cam, I love you. You carry
my child, please tell me where you are.”
    “ I am in a safe place
that’s all I can say. The spell is wearing off I need to go, take
care and live long Kieran.” Cam abruptly cut off communication. Her
eyes were stinging with tears, she knew it would be hard but she
needed to say goodbye one last time.
    She turned around and saw Richard watching
her from around the corner.
    “ Do you make it a habit to
spy on others?” She said accusingly.
    “ I didn’t mean to, I was on
my way to the kitchen and I didn’t want to interrupt.
    “ Sorry I didn’t mean to
accuse you. It was a hard conversation. I had to end things with
Kieran; there was just no other way. My baby needs me.” She looked
down for a moment took a deep breath and continued. “I don’t love
him and I don’t think I ever did, I think I got caught up in the
excitement. He is a King and he wanted me, I’m a
nobody.”
    Richard approached her and pulled her into a
hug. Cam couldn’t help but start crying.
    “ You are not a nobody, you
are spectacular. You’ll see, everything will be okay, Cam. I’m here
for you.” Richard led her over to the couch and they sat down
together. “I’m sorry about what I
