- Levi
Cruz was shocked at the note that was left at the door. He was also offended that this 'Levi' doesn't know their victims names. Like isn't Cruz awesome? Levi should at least know Cruz's name. That's what Cruz is thinking.
"Of course, they get 'Sir Seth Fancyton'" A voice from a far said,
Cruz looked up from the note. Instead of a girl with a ripped arm, it was Dixie. Her usual green sweater was now a maroon jacket that was almost at the lengh of her knees. She seemed somewhat relaxed.
"Yeah. How did you know it was him?" Cruz asked as Dixie walked to the porch.
"Well it obviously isn't you. So I ask myself 'Who hangs out at a sick person's house? Especially Cruz's.' So I filled that gap with Seth," Dixie replied,
"Should I be offended?"
"Probably, I don't know,"
Dixie shrugged as she said that. She got her phone out and started texting Pepper and Ella. She wanted tell Cruz about the deal with Anabelle but was scared of what Anabelle will do if she found out.
Ella and Pepper were both taken too. Dixie rolled her eyes.
"It's just me and you Cruz. For now," Dixie explained,
"Well do we know anything about Levi or them? "
"

Yeah, Levi is a fake name and its actually Bree,"
"What?! "
"I'm kidding!"
Dixie laughed as Cruz sighed. "Actually Levi is a illusionist. He can make people see things that aren't there, " Dixie explained. Molly, Cruz thought to himself. Dixie grabbed his arm and started walking with Cruz, unwillingly being behind.
"Where are we going?" Cruz asked,
"I don't feel safe saying this stuff at your house right after Seth got kidnapped." Dixie said.
Dixie and Cruz were walking for what seemed like a long time. When they finally got to Dixie's apartments, Cruz was finally relieved that they didn't have to walk anymore.
Dixie didn't continue walking up the steps, instead she sat down on the first step. Cruz was confused and sat down with her.
"Cruz, why has our lives changed so much?" Dixie said looking as if she was gonna cry,
"I don't know, Dixie. The best thing to do is to deal with it,"
"Do you remember the night?"
"What night? "
"The night that Molly died and this all started?"
"No not really?"
"Well I remember watching Molly die and realizing I was gonna be alone, "
"Alone? You had and still have us, "
Dixie clenched her fists and stood up.
" NO CRUZ, THINK ABOUT IT. You had Seth, Zoë had Bree, and Pepper had Ella. Where was I in all of this? Crying alone. It took me forever to even think about trusting you! " Dixie snapped,
" Me? Why me? "
" YOU'RE THE REASON WHY EVERYTHING STARTED!! YOU WENT MISSING THEN CAME BACK BEING A JERK. YOU DIDN'T WANNA TALK TO US UNTIL THE POOL PARTY. YOU KNOCKED ME OUT AND MESSED UP MY MIND AND AFTER ALL OF THAT. YOU'RE THE REASON WHY BREE GOT BIT AND CAN'T BE ALONE! "
Cruz looked shocked. He didn't remember most of it but he knew about Bree getting bit.
" How do you know about Bree?" Cruz muttered in absolute fear,
"You act like I'm stupid. How would she get bit? By Dead Molly or the person I murdered or by the wolves? You choose Cruz, " Dixie chuckled,
" Sh-Shut up, "
Cruz stood up and started walking up the steps. His head started thumping and his body felt hot. Dixie followed suit towards the steps.
"What's wrong Cruz? Has all of your bad deads catch up with you finally?" Dixie tormented,
" Shut up... " Cruz commanded as his fingers started twitching,
"What are you gonna do to me huh? Kill me or leave for Levi to kidnap me? Either way it's bad for you more than for me,"
Cruz went silent as Dixie was talking. They were still walking up these steps. It felt like the stairs would go forever which made Cruz more desperate. A million thoughts came through his head but only one stayed. "WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT UP!!" Cruz screamed.
He pushed Dixie down the stairs. She made a sickening splat for each couple steps. At the bottom step, Dixie exploded leaving a black substance everywhere, especially on Cruz's clothes.
Cruz screamed in fear.

"Cruz are you afraid of my house or something?" Dixie asked. Cruz looked up. There was no dead Dixie or a black liquid. Just him and Dixie next to Dixie's apartment. He looked down to the steps, he walked them already.
"Uhm we started fighting and I wa-" Cruz tried to lie,
"We didn't fight? We just came to my house and screamed at my door, " Dixie explained,
" Well is there anything I should be concerned for?"
"Well maybe yourself first but then my dog and my roommate, "
Cruz smiled and Dixie picklocked her door.
" You should have a key to your apartment," Cruz teased,
"Reagan stole it last night after getting back from a Sophomore Party! " Dixie whined,
Dixie opened the door and Dixie and Cruz stared in terror. A man in a red hoodie was staring at both of them, holding a bat.
" That's a big smart dog, " Cruz whispered,
" That ain't my dog, " Dixie said,
