Sam moved silently down the road. He was dressed in all black and almost slithered like a snake in the way he moved with impeccable grace.

He had heard a girl signing and wanted to know from where this beautiful voice came.

It had summoned him up from the spirit realm and his curiosity was far too much to be ignored.

He was not one to care about the average daily lives of the living and found himself perplexed at his late night mission.

He heard her singing get louder and then saw a beautiful girl dancing in a light room in a house at the end of the street. He moved closer and saw that she was about seventeen and beautiful. Long red hair to her waist and skin as pale as milk.

Wow .She is amazing , he thought. He had come up almost to her window now and her sweet voice was lingering in his ears making its way down to his core .

Her song made him feel happy . It made his feeling of emptiness fade way completely and left a feeling of warmth and comfort . She was now reading a book with her headphones half falling off and he couldn't help but laugh.

She wouldn't see him. Mortals never did .

He watched as he sang and read her book . Twirling around in her chair . Suddenly she looked up and screamed. He panicked.

She can't see me that's impossible , he thought.

Eloa's mother rushed in the room and asked her what was wrong.

"It's a snake!" Eloa cried.

She pointed outside the window.

Her mother moved to look and saw nothing .

"It's ok dear" said her mother.

Eloa hugged her mom .

" I'm going to sleep mom , I'm probably just tired " Eloa said still feeling confused .

" night love "

Did she see him ? Or had she really seen a snake ?

He looked around at his feet and saw nothing.

Was she one of the bloodlines? They always knew when a spirit was around .

He turned around to leave as he saw her get into bed .

He made his way up the highway and watched the cars pass for a few minutes on the motorway.

A lot of things were on his mind.

First was that he traced the ten bloodlines and always knew when one was being born so that he could initiate them into his circle of keepers .

Secondly was that she was so beautiful and made him feel so warm .He had never felt warm since becoming a spirit. The realm of the dead was cold and numb .

There was no comfort to be found in a place like that.

Yet he had found such comfort in her.
