Emily's eyes rolled back in her head. A vision came to her. She could see Jeremy so clearly. Yes, she knew exactly where he was. How scared he'd been. And how afraid he was when Tyler turned into the Lycan way, yet he'd gone off into the woods to do is work. As if he really didn't want to eat Jeremy.

"Well, he's safe." Emily finally told Anna. "For the moment."

"What do you mean?" Anna asked.

"I know he's very close to you. And Tyler sees you as a threat. He wants to take him away from you. That's why he's put up these barriers." Emily explained.

"How did he do that? Was it magic?" Anna wanted to know.

"Hardly, that boy has no idea what he's capable of." Emily shrugged.

"What should we do?" Anna wanted to know. "How can we get there?"

"Hold on," Emily let go of Anna's hand and went to one of her 17 magazines on the floor next to her bed. She turned the pages.

Sneakers too.

She gave Anna a look over. She supposed Anna didn't need a change for such matters. Emily sighed then. Really, it was good riddens to that awful dress she'd had on for centuries. Her hair was down now. And she looked capable of anything. Nothing would hold her back.

"Well, come on." She grabbed Anna's hand. "What are we waiting for?"
