“I can’t,” she replied. “There are hunters out, they’ve searched my normal hiding place.” Owl stiffened at the mention of hunters. Half...human, half demon monsters that stalked the surface. They could only come out at night but when they were on the prowl every survivor hid and prayed they were not found. The girl caught his expression. “They didn’t see me, I spotted them first. I just need somewhere to hide for tonight.” “Not here, for your own sake go find somewhere else.” Owl hissed. She told me that I must not sayanything about Gene's other life in school.Jean sat quietly through all of this. I couldn't tell whether hewas embarrassed or not, but I thought he must be. Did he reallywant a classmate--and a girl, at that--to see him in dresses?No, he didn't, he told me the next day. He stopped by my houseon the way to school, and we walked to school together. He wasupset, not surprisingly, and repeated his mother's insistence notto say anything in school. I felt sorry for him,. He’d have all day Monday to lay around, do laundry or golf. (Holiday Mondays always meant more sex.) After a year of being together, we decided to get married. Don’t know why, we just did. We had gone back home for Thanksgiving with our families, and we did it on the spur of the moment. We came back to our nice little apartment as newlyweds. I guess it was an excuse to fuck like bunnies. We were in no position to take a real honeymoon. (We’re still making plans for that.) We didn’t party too. Tina was amazed atthis sight. Then on instinct she made a move to run but it was too late. A beamof light yielded by the flying saucer surrounded her. Tina immideately faintedand her body was lifted in the air by the beam of light and she was transportedinside the unidentified object. Then, the flying object dissapeared into thenight sky. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PaigePage woke up to.
