I turned around to find Ryker at the door. I looking at the frame raised it, "Looking at the frame" I smiled awkwardly. Keeping the frame on the desk I went and sat on the bed. He kept the chips, cupcake and juice on side table and sat besides giving it to me. I was drinking the juice tapping my legs nervously looking around the room.
"So who are you going with to freshers party?" He asked searching his bag. I turned "Huh?...Oh I haven't decided yet." I just babbled, with everything going on, where would I get the time to find a date. I sighed , why am I doing this again? Right because of those two.
He smiled "Here" and passed me the notes. I took it and was thinking what should I do. Seeing ne in daze and looking around the room, He leaned closer, "You are not here for only notes right?" He whispered slowly in my ears, I gagged a bit and looked at him narrowing my eyebrows "what do you mean?" I gulped.
He got up moving to his table and leaning at it. He placed his hands in his pocket and removed the necklace, it was a beautiful necklace with half moon and a round crystal hanging in between it. I blinked few times and tilted my head "Nice necklace.." I smiled 'Don't show that you know what he is talking about, keep calm'. He scoffed and walked towards me "So can I assume you don't want it and give it to my dad?...but will you guys be able to clear the situation to him."
"Why should we clear ourselves and for what reasons?" I lifted my head. He leaned closer and placed his hand on the bed and turned the lights off. The necklace started to glow, 'SELLA' was carved on the crystal that was hanging. He turned the lights on again and backed off. "Still want to deny?" He asked her keeping the necklace in his pocket. I sighed, can't deny any further, can I? I rubbed my temples and crossing my legs asked "Where did you find it?".
---------Ryker's Flashback------------
I was sitting in the hall scrolling through the phone. My dad came and took the bag from the basement and looked at me. I kept my phone in pocket and sighing took my weapons, not much just a gun and an crossbow. And went with my dad.
While driving "Are those the same one?" I questioned. He shrugged while driving "We detected wolf growls in the forest, looks like we need to check it out."
I sighed 'Can't I just get a break?'
Reaching the destination, we got off the car and walked few steps to reach the place we got signals from. We looked around there was no trace of anyone, no one was there "There is no one here should we go around to see we find someone?" I looked in the woods to see if i can see anything. My dad shook his head "No need...they would have been already gone". There were blood on the ground, my dad went to look at the claw marks left on the tree, while I kneeled down to see the blood marks there I glanced at something shining. When I picked it up, and seeing it closely I saw Stella's name on it, my dad turned "Did you find anything?" I shooked my head turning and immediately put it in my pocket.
--------------End of Flashback------------
I took a look at rykers face waved at him, he snapped out of his thoughts and looked at me blinking his eyes. I grinned and got up keeping the glass in my hand on the side table and started walking towards him asking questions
"What were you doing there?"
"And also this late"
"Are you hiding something?"
"How did you end up there?" at every step and he kept backing at every question. If the necklace was not in his pocket I would have just grabbed it and went away, I will just have to make him give it back to me willingly.
When his back finally touched the wall he looked back once and then lifed his head, but this time he was grinning.
"How do you know which place I went?"
"What were you doing there?"
"Why was stella with you?"
"Why so late in the night?"
"How did you know I have the necklace?"
"Did you think I will give it to you so easily?" This time I was backing up with every question.
I stopped and looked in his eyes we both had secrets to keep and could not reveal to each other. Ryker placed his hand on my shoulder "Can you tell me what is going on?", I sighed "Can YOU tell me what is going on?"
He removed his hand and stepped back and shook his head. There was no point asking he had his own secret to keep from us though he didn't knew that we already know and so did we, we just had to wait for the time it gets solved on its own.
He then removed the necklace from his pocket and it was now hanging in front of me I streached my hand when I tried to take it but he took it back.before I could grab it. "Not so easily, I have one Condition" he said smiling.

Stella's POV....
