Valentine's POV

I open my eyes only to be greeted by the light of the sun. I quickly snap my eyes closed and turn to my left side. I open my eyes once more, and I'm greeted by a letter on the nightstand. I slowly sit upright and grab the letter. Carefully opening the envelope, I begin to wonder what's inside. Maybe someone mailed me a letter? I doubt that though.. My family has no clue where I am. But were they really my actual family? They always seemed to treat me differently.. Like I was special. Pushing the nagging thoughts aside, I take the note stashed neatly inside;

'Hello Valentine,

      It's Brandon.. I just wanted to let you know breakfast is downstairs waiting for you. If you need me, for anything, I'll be in the backyard. Meet me outside whenever you're ready. I have a surprise for you..

                                                                                                                                    Signed,  Brandon'

Putting the letter down on the nightstand, I stand up and walk into the bathroom. I stare at the girl in the mirror, and she looks healthier.. She looks alive. Smiling at my reflection, I grab a towel and strip off my clothes. Turning the water on to my preferred temperature, I step in. Letting the water run through my hair and down my small body. After standing there for ten minutes, I grab my vanilla scented shampoo and begin washing my hair. I then proceed to wash my body.

Turning the water off, I grab my towel and dry off. I step out of the shower and go to my closet. I open the door and look around. I grab a bra and some underwear, looking at my shirts I decide to go with a black tank top. I pick out some comfortable shorts and get dressed. Putting some socks on, I pull some boots onto my feet.

Walking back into the bathroom, I brush my wet hair and begin drying it. After my hair is a little damp, I grab my mascara and chap stick. Applying some mascara to my eye lashes, and chap stick to my lips, I put everything away and head downstairs.

Walking into the kitchen, I see a plate with bacon, eggs, and toast. A glass of milk is sitting next to the plate along with a piece of paper with my name on it. I smile and take the plate and cup to the table.I pull out a chair and sit down. As I begin eating my eggs and nibbling at my bacon, I look out the window.

This house is surrounded by trees. Miles and miles of trees. The nearest town is 50 minutes away from this house secluded in wilderness. If I ever got lost in those woods it would be the perfect time for Jason to attack, and kidnap me. I shivered at the thought. Losing my appetite, I push the plate forward and getting up from my seat.

I sigh and turn on my heel towards the backdoor. I put my hand on the knob and open it. Breathing in the fresh air, I walk outside closing the door behind me. Looking around I spot Brandon sitting down on the grass. It looks like he's thinking about something.. I should scare him. I smile evilly and slowly make my way over to him.

Once I am a few feet away from him, I jump at him and yell. He screams and jumps up. I fall backwards and hold my stomach. Tears start to swirl in my eyes and I continue laughing.

"Ha Ha, very funny Valentine." Brandon says frustrated. "You know, I didn't even hear you come up behind me, You must be an assassin or ninja to be that stealthy" He states.
