Soul Shards

Chapter 2

I had to work on a Friday but Jake didn't. He tried to make me call in sick but I said no. I was becoming slightly suspicious of him. He never mentioned about going on any park dates until my brother called me and he suddenly comes home from work 30 minutes late but he come home almost right after my brother hangs up on me. He also want to go to the exact same park after the time. Stupid, I shouldn't be thinking this Jake is my boyfriend and I have known him for 3 years. "Abby get back to work!" My boss yelled at me. He was usually a nice guy but for some reason today he seemed a little bit off. Why am I being paranoid about everything just because a guy called me and said he was my brother. I continued to think about it for a little bit. My parents give me a piece of paper with possibly the names of Hatfilms on them saying I should find these people. Parents die a week later. Guy calls me claiming he is my brother and says something that sounds like something or someone is listening. Jake starts acting weird and wants to hang out with more every second of the day. I put my head in my hands and lay on the desk. "Hey Abby what's up," Karen asks.
"Just thinking about a lot of things."
"Because Jake called me and asked me to cancel our lunch tomorrow. What is he talking about."
"Ok don't freak out and call the police or anything." She interrupted me, "Omg is Jake being violent."
"What? No. It's just that this guy called me saying that he was my brother and wants to meet me," I looked around and decided to not say where. "Oh god where."
"I don't know he just said he wanted to meet me."
"Well one things for sure you just don't want to say it to me I can tell that much, for what ever reason and I respect that. But I don't recon you should go."
"Why?"
"Because what if he is creeper remember that guy that claimed to be my long lost cousin then just ended up raping my little sister."
"It's in a public place."
"Where?"
"I can't and won't say not even write it down."
"Why though who is watching?"
"Just someone."
"What is he like a secret agent or something." I thought it about for a minute if my parent said they didn't want me in the job that they did because it was to dangerous but then suddenly said one of these people is your brother and he can help you, it sounds like they knew they were going to die. "Abby."
"Yeah sort of I guess."
"But why have you never heard of him until now."
"Not quite sure I just know that I can say no more. So! How about lunch Saturday then! Oh god if he does ask you it's going I'm going to be so excited!"
"Abby your scaring me."
"Karen just play along please, once I meet him and find out who he is I will tell you more, I promise."
"Ok. Yeah! Totally! And yep Lunch Saturday." I continued to work through out the day my boring desk job. Sometimes I wish my parents had introduced me to the life they lived because it seemed so much cooler (besides the dying and stuff) than a boring desk job.

When I was on my lunch break I decided to watch some Yogscast they had a Trials Fusion Challenge with Hatfilms. I put my headphones in and watched them and laughed till I had to go back to work. I rarely wear the necklace outside of my shirt but sometimes I pulled it out. But now it felt like I shouldn't. Why all of a sudden does it feel like someone is watching me and that its some one bad and the necklace with the shard on it has something to do with. I closed the video once it was finished and headed back inside. "Hey everybody listen up!" My boss yelled through out the offices. "There is said to be this virus going around that is very bad that is making people very, very sick. So I'm giving you all today and Monday off to have a nice long weekend with your family." I started to get worried about Jake so I quickly rushed home.

"Jake! Hon! You home." His car was in the drive way. Maybe he called one of his mates to pick him up. "JAKE!" I ran up stares to the bathroom and see that he had slit his wrists while he was shaving. "OH MY GOD JAKE!" I screamed and ran to the phone. On the way I saw a guy dressed in all black outside my window.

About 5 minutes after I called the police and ambulance turned up. I felt like I should lie so that's what I did. "Miss did Jakob seem a little depressed lately like in the last week or so," a police woman asked me. "Not really but yesterday he seemed really clingy, like he was trying to tell me something."
"Did he ever seem different when he held the razor any other mornings."
"Yeah in a way he always stood in front of the mirror before he put the razor down and walked out," that wasn't a compete lie he did always stand in front of the mirror for like another minute or so before he put his razor down. "Did he seem depressed lately."
"I'm not really sure he just kinda seemed more clingy just yesterday."
"How so."
"I was going to have lunch with a friend and he wanted to come along but her and I just wanted it to be a girls lunch. Then this morning he had the day off work and I didn't but he wanted me to call in sick. I didn't. Then I came home to this."
"Alright. Thank you for your time and sorry for your loss."
"Thank you." I headed back inside and began to clean up the blood." The police had already searched the area and saw no signs of fingerprints other than Jake's and mine and no signs of a struggle so it was called a suicide. I didn't care about what Karen said I was going to that park tomorrow and finding out what or who the hell is killing my family.
