Now you're going to do everything I say, if not then, what would happen if let's say Sylvia "accidentally" got hurt or your mom lost the baby?
My face paled and I heard a branch snap to my right. "Chloe." I let out a breathe I didn't even know I was holding.
"Are yo- oh my god!" She shrieked as she saw Xavier's lifeless body.
"How did you just come across this?" The text flashed through my head making my blood run cold.
"I was just clearing my head a-and ..." I trailed off trying to make myself sound really upset.
Not that that would be hard. I'M KIND OF FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW!
"Hey shh.." She pulled me into a hug and I sobbed onto her shoulder, "Alex is on his way."
Well fucking shit.
She pulled away and answered her vibrating phone.

What do you want?
I heard several footsteps so I knew Alex would be here soon.
I needed to think of a story and fast. Wait, I already have one. Ugh, I need to focus.
From - (801)-***-****
I want Alexander to feel the pain he caused me.
To - (801)-***-****
Who are you?

The dead will one day walk amongst the living sweetheart. Except I'm not the one who's dead.
I frowned not sure what they meant exactly. Is it a clue? A hint even?
"Emily!" Before I could text back, I heard Alex calling my name.
"What?" I locked my phone, slipping it into my pocket.
"What were you thinking, going out for a walk knowing that he could be watching you?!" I wanted to tell him, I was dying to tell him.
"I needed to clear my head." He frowned and pulled me into his arms.
"It's okay. I'm just glad you're okay." I wrapped my arms around his waist and sighed in content. "I'm okay."
He kissed the top of my head before pulling away keeping me at arms length.
"We're okay. The threat is gone." My smile fell lightly but I forced it back up.
"I know." I lied, I hate lying. It's killing me, eating me up.
If only Alexander knew, if only he knew.

Now, let's begin. You're going to break up with Alexander, I want him to suffer like I did.
My heart broke as I read the text message. I can't do that, I could never.
To - (801)-***-****
I can't, I could never do that.
As soon as I sent it, I got a text back but it was a picture of Syl sleeping. My heart dropped and I couldn't help but cry.

Now, now, we had a deal remember? Alexander is going to know what it's like to have someone he loves ripped away from him. Here's a hint, a mate for a mate.
I gasped and my eyes widened lightly. Xavier? No, he's dead.
To - (801)-***-****
Xavier?

Round of applause Ms. Reynolds. I mean, it took you long enough.
Before I could text back, my phone started ringing. He was calling me.
"Hello?" I heard him laugh making me shudder in disgust, "Well hello love. Glad to see you're alive and well."
I suddenly got really angry. "What do you really want?" I spat at him causing him to chuckle.
"Did I touch a soft spot? I will have my revenge on Alexander but it'll be by my hand. See you soon Emily."
The line went dead and I fell to the floor. I'm going crazy right? I mean I have to be going crazy. This is crazy.
"Emily." My head snapped up towards my balcony. "Alexander." He walked towards me and sat in front of me.
"Are you okay?" No. "Yeah, I'm just still shaken up a bit."
He nodded and pulled me onto his lap, "I know babe. I know."
My heart fluttered at the nickname. "Why didn't you tell me you would be looking for Xavier?"
He's not dead, though. "I wanted to keep you safe, obviously that didn't work."
I sighed and got up running a hand through my hair. "I'm not a child! What's up with everyone wanting to keep me safe?! I can take care of myself."
Alexander came towards me. "I know you can. I just don't like it." I sighed and wrapped my arms around him.
"I love you." I whispered and I could hear his heart skip a beat.
"I love you too and I promise to continue loving you until I die." I smiled and pecked his lips.
"No more secrets, okay?" Guilt was all I felt as I smiled and nodded.
"No more secrets."
Except for one.
