grandfather because he’s the
Overseer. No matter where we move the estate, they can always find it as long
as he’s here.” Stubbs put his index finger up as he spoke. “That’s important
because Scattered Akori take so long to come back and Tremain is never where it
was when they Scattered.”
    Addy already knew all that and she was getting antsy.
“Ok, but why are we back here?”
     “The Akori who Scattered about twenty years ago will
begin rematerializing soon.” Fate leaned back in his chair, looking toward the
window even though it was too dark outside to see anything. “This beach is the
last location of Tremain they’ll remember.”
    Stubbs stood up and walked over to the fireplace, then
turned to face her. “We hope the Akori will start looking here if they
don’t sense an Overseer. If you don’t get the Overseer’s power, there’ll be no
other way for them to find Tremain.”
     
     
     

 
    Chapter 3
     
    When Addy was finally set free, she headed out walking
across the garden to her villa. She was still wearing her bathing suit under
her tank top and shorts. Her sunglasses were perched on top of her head,
holding her long dark hair out of her face. She hadn’t had time to change
before meeting with them, not that they cared. She’d known all of them her
entire life and the last thing they were worried about was what she looked like.
    Approaching the sidewalk that lead to her door, she thought
she saw someone walk between her villa and the unoccupied one next door. She
crouched down and slowly moved into the shadows.
    Once she got up against the wall, she slowly peeked
around the corner. No one was there. Occasionally humans would find their way
into Tremain and get confused because of the Akori symbols placed around that
were used to hide it. She decided to walk around the perimeter of her villa to
be sure it was all clear. She turned the corner to check around back and felt
like she ran right into a brick wall.
    Addy quickly discovered it wasn’t really a brick wall—it
was more like a guy who didn’t even budge when she plowed into him.  She hopped
to her feet and swung around. Using the wall to push off, she tried to land a
hard kick to the side of his body. He was fast and blocked her foot, sending
her to the ground. She started to get up, but he pushed her back down.
    “Addy, wait!” Gage stood over her with an
amused expression.
     “What the hell are you doing stalking around
my place in the dark?” Her voice came out in a strange half-scream, as she scraped
herself off the ground.
    He offered her his hand but she was too startled to
take it.
    “You alright?” His tone was just short of laughing.
    Without answering or waiting for him to explain why he
was creeping around, she turned and walked back to her front door.
    “I didn’t mean to freak you out,” he said, standing
behind her on the porch as she opened the door. ”Bernard said there was a
strange man at the beach earlier when you and Kim were down there. I was
checking out the area around both of your places.”
    She’d completely forgotten about the beach guy. “No
worries. I’ve just got information overload after meeting with Fate. I wasn’t
thinking about that. I’m fine, so just go do your thing or whatever.” She’d
always hated embarrassing herself in front of Gage. “I’m heading down to the
beach anyway.”
    Her cat Moose was looping himself around her legs and
meowing, clearly upset she ran out so fast earlier, forgetting to feed him.
    “I’ll wait and walk with you since I’m heading back
down there anyway.” He was still standing on her porch holding the screen door
open. “If you come across any strangers I might have to protect them from you.”
    She shot him an innocent look and tried not to smile.
“I thought you were a burglar or something.”
    “If that had been anyone but me they’d be hurting.
You’ve gotten pretty good,” he said.
    “Thanks.” She dropped her purse on the
