Merrick has always been in my life. My dad's gargoyle best friend has been protecting my family for as long as I can remember. And when I decide to go to dance school in Chicago, my father asks Merrick to come with me...to protect me...

But my dad doesn't know how I feel about Merrick and about how I'm pretty sure Merrick feels about me.

But someone knows. Someone who's been watching us. And not even Merrick can protect me this time.
