Empty Promises

"What do you mean you quit the soccer team?!" I exclaimed at Sylvia. 

We were always on the team together but this year she says that she quit.

"It's just not me anymore. I haven't practiced all summer and besides you're better at soccer than I ever was. Couch always put me by the goals."

"That's no-" Before I could finish my sentence she cut me off. "It is and you know it." I couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm a quitter." I could see her rolling her eyes through the screen. We were currently face timing. It was summer. 

Wait what? No, summer ended already.

Suddenly everything around me distorted and vanished. I was now back in the place I woke up in, with the beautiful man still in front of me.

"Where's Xavier? I need Xavier." I pushed myself away from the man and walked towards the window. 

"Xavier's dead Emily. You found his body." I turned around and glared at the man, "Nonsense! Xavier is alive." 

I protested, because a part of me knew he was alive. Suddenly something vibrated making the nightstand shake. 

One of the other people in the room, picked it up and gasped.

"It's Xavier." I smiled and rushed to the phone. 

I answered it despite them telling me not to. "Xavier!" I sighed in relief. 

"I'm here." Everyone gasped but I didn't care. "Where are you?" I asked while slipping on the nearest pair of shoes. 

"Where it all began, my love." I smiled and hung up. 

I tossed the phone onto the bed and tried to leave but they stopped me.

"Emily, where do you think you're going?!" Ugh, these people are getting on my nerves. 

Emily this, Emily that. 

Who the hell is Emily? My name isn't Emily!

I pushed them out of my way and stopped in the doorway. 

"I don't know who Emily is, but that's not me." With that I ran down the stairs and out the back door towards the woods.

» Sylvia's POV «

We ran after Emily, she was acting crazy. As soon as we reached the lake, I knew where she was going. 

"The clubhouse. She's going to the clubhouse!" I yelled out and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. 

"You've seen her basement right?" They all nodded. "Well one day we build our own clubhouse. Of course over the years we fixed it up."

I took a deep breathes before continuing. "It's old and run down. She has to be heading there. It's the only place closet near here." 

They all nodded and we took off again. I need to start working out again, if I'm this out of breathe then yep I'm so out of shape.

From where I was I could see the clubhouse. It's all rundown considering we haven't used it in years. It's been probably five years since we last used it.

"Emily!" I called out for her as soon as I saw her hugging someone. She turned around and glared at us. 

"You shouldn't be here! I'm not Emily and soon she'll be dead." Emily or whoever this girl is, smirked at us. 

"What are you talking about?" Alexander asked while stepping closer to them. "The night of the school black out. Who do you think it was?"

I glared at Xavier, he was the one. "I dragged her out into the hallway and injected her with a special serum."

Tyler growled and I grabbed his hand stopping him from doing anything he'll regret. "It of course will kill her, but not in the way you might think."

"Her body will still be here but mentally and emotionally she'll be gone. She'll become my Rose." Alexander growled and took another step.

"Stop." Rose/Emily shouted and Alexander froze. "I love him." I could tell Alexander was hurt but he needed to remember that she wasn't herself.

She turned to Xavier and the next thing she did shocked us all. She ripped out Xavier's heart and turned to us letting it drop in front of us. 

"Bring me back." Was all she said before collapsing next to the dead Xavier.

"What the actual hell is going on?!"
