Peyton got up and yawned, stretching and rubbing his eyes.

Darken smiled and hugged her bag. She could feel little butterflies moving around her stomach and twisting it into knots.

Peyton looked over to her and realized something, he was going to go see the first family in ages. His heart sunk in his chest but he made it look like he was happy.

Darken got off the bus when they stopped in St. Paul and waved down a taxi. She got in and waited for Peyton to get in as well. She could tell something was up by his body language, but she didn't think anything of it. She gave the driver the address to her family's house and leaned back in her seat.

Peyton sat back in the seat, a bit rigid unlike his normal relaxed seating choice. But he didn't like the feeling that he was going to see somebody else's family, he felt like he would be trapped like he would burn and everybody else would with him.

Darken reached over and grabbed Peyton's hand, gently. She gave him a soft smile to assure him everything would be okay.

Peyton's cheeks flushed immediately, he looked over to her and he saw her soft smile to assure him. He smiled back and his hand moved on his own, they gently held her hand, he felt like his heart was beating in his chest again.

Darken took a shaky breath when the car stopped and slowly opened the door. She got out and got her bag, taking a long look up at her wooden house. The aura that surrounded the two-level home was dreadfully depressing and the tense atmosphere weighed heavily on the teenage girl's shoulders. Shaking, she drew in another deep breath and headed up the hill to the burgundy door.

Peyton felt the house's depressing feeling hit him straight in the chest, but he held his back close to his chest and walked behind her up to the burgundy door with her, scared of what could be hiding behind such a beautiful house.

Darken whimpered and reached out for his hand again. Her hands were visibly shaking and she looked even paler than before. Slowly, she reached up to the doorbell and listened as the stereotypical sound echoed in the house. It took a little under half a minute for someone to open the door. A blonde woman had done so, wearing a black dress with her hair down over her shoulders. "Is there something I can help you with?" she asked in a monotone voice. Darken's lip trembled a little and she felt tears begin to fall out of her eyes as she dug through her bag for the print out. Eventually, she pulled out a picture of the missing little girl, Michelle Gordon, and looked up at the woman with hopeful green eyes.

Peyton's hand grasped her's immediately as it reached out for his, he was scared, scared of the blonde woman in the black dress. Her monotone voice reverberated through his body, making him shiver at the voice. He didn't know what was going on or what was going to happen. But he didn't want anything bad to happen.

"What business do you have with my daughter?" the woman asked, quietly. Darken pulled her hoodie off and showed the woman the birthmark on her collar bone. She watched as the woman widened her eyes in shock and stumbled backwards into the house. "H-Honey! Come here! Get the boys, too!" she shouted. A small smile started to spread on Darken's face and she squeezed Peyton's hand.

Peyton laced his fingers into her hand, smiling a bit. He leaned over and kissed her cheek, quickly before blushing and coming back to his original stance next to her.

Darken blushed darkly and looked at him. Then, she smiled and gently followed the woman inside, greeted by her older siblings and her father too. They quickly welcomed her back into the family with a tearful reunion.

Peyton watched this reunion for about a couple minutes before he ran out of the house, holding his backpack closer and tighter than ever before.
