Amelia had everything- family, friends, a promising future- the sky was the limit. But just like that everything was taken from her. One moment she's planning her high school graduation party the next she's laying on a therapist's couch. It was as i...
The following day came like any other ordinary one should. Elijah was in his office with a client while I was currently typing away at my laptop. Thanks to the much needed sleep that my body desperately needed, I found myself focused and organized once more. Not to mention- calm.

I was so on my shit this morning, that I completed Elijah's schedule for the rest of the week and was even able to look into a few apartments in the area that were up for rent. One of which I was able to see later on. After making a quick call to the owner of the building, we had set up a viewing for the early evening. Hopefully Aralyn would still be able to accompany me and I could keep Elijah occupied long enough for me to see the place.
As long as you put your name down on it- it doesn't matter.
How was it that amongst all the crazy shit that was occurring in my life that I actually wasn't anxious? Now that Mia was being more open to me I felt like I was seeing the world through her eyes. I was seeing clearly. Yet, my emotions still remained my own.
Every now and then I would still catch myself stealing a glance at Elijah. In between sessions and taking breaks from reworking the schedule, my eyes would search for him. Why? After everything I knew about him, why did I still feel something towards him?
Buzz. Buzz.
Buzz. Buzz.
I looked down at my phone to find a new email from "S". Before opening the message I quickly scanned the room. No one. Elijah was still in the middle of a session which meant I had time. Without a second thought, I opened the email.
I got your message last night. Is it true? - S
I quickly typed back.
Yes. - Amelia
So, you finally know everything? About Elijah? - S
My stomach twisted at the thought.
I know only as much as Mia told me. But I know about Elijah, Seth, a little of Zachary- but not Infernum. - Amelia
A long moment passed before I received another message.This one for some unknown reason sent a chilling sensation up my back. It was like someone was secretly watching me from across the room, through a window. Like I was being hunted by a bigger, scarier predator.
This was a new kind of fear. One I had never experienced until now. One that did not belong to me. It was crippling. Thank god I was sitting down because my legs would have given out from under me had I been standing. A sudden thought came to mind. Mia. This had to be her fear.
What about Victor? - S
I read over the name at least a dozen times before reaching out to Mia. The name meant nothing to me; but, perhaps, it meant something to her. Who was he? Why did he make her feel this way?
