Heart of Ice

How Could You?

"Alex?!" Oh crap oh crap oh crap! One: How the HELL did he get into my house? Two: How much did he hear? And Three: WHY THE HELL IS HE HERE? I have never felt so at loss for words than I did now. He took a step forwards and I matched it with a step back. We continued the pattern until I tripped over a cat toy that had been left in the middle of the floor.

He smirked at me and made no move to help me up. "Having problems babe?" he snickered. "Like you care." I stood up carefully and winced. Stupid cat toy! It felt like I had just broken my butt. Grrrrr. "Well thanks for stopping by and being a creep and all, but you really shouldn't be here sooooo get out." I pointed towards the door and turned to pick up the cat toy before anymore casualties occurred because of it.

"Well aren't you a ball of sunshine? Daddy issues? Oh, woops you don't have a daddy do you?" My heart crumbled to dust at his words. "You going to cry? Oh well. Your little story was touching but I don't believe it. I think you made it up to cover for the fact that your parents didn't love you so they left you behind to create a new family. In my eyes you're still a lonely little bit-" *Slap!* He held his cheek in astonishment as I looked at him with tears falling down my face in rivers while staring at him with loathing. "How fucking DARE you!? You don't believe me huh? Look it up. It was all over the news you ass! My brother murdered my family right in front of me! My little sister and brother were tortured and you think I made it up?!!? Why in hell would I do that? At school I am no one! I don't need or want attention and you fucking think I made it up!!" My throat hurt from all the yelling, but all I cared about was the fact that he had the audacity to come into my house to accuse me of making my past up.

"How could you?" I whispered. He stood there with a blank expression. I have had enough of him. The jerk can rot in hell for all I care. I pushed past him to see Rayna at the bottom of the stairs staring daggers at him. When she saw me she just nodded. She knew where I had planned on going: My parents and siblings graves. The cemetery where my family was buried always have me a sense of peace.

My parents graves have two beds on either sides of them to represent my siblings. I sat down and leaned against my little brother's, Chris, bed. "Mom, Dad, why did things happen the way they did? Chris and Thalia should be here running around while you two hold each other's hands and watch. I miss you guys so very much." I closed my eyes to rest them and when I opened them, I realized that I had spent the whole day here. I jumped to my feet and spun around, trying to find the entrance to the cemetery.

I know the cemetery like the back of my hand so it only took me a few minutes to find it. The streetlights were on and I cursed myself for falling asleep. Not only have I probably made Rayna worry, but now I am walking by myself in the dark. Ugh, today sucks! I hope that stupid jerk is out of my house! If he isn't then he gets to deal with a pissed off, kick-boxing girl.

The night was cold so I thought when I shivered, it was because of the chilly air, but when I shivered again, my instincts screamed to run. When I turned around and saw a cloaked figure standing there. I choked on a scream as I started sprinting down the sidewalk to my house. Footsteps started thundering behind me, but I pushed myself harder and within a few minutes, I was within the gate in font of my house. The person stopped in front of the gate and just stood there. My heart pounded in my chest as they reached their arm in and dropped a paper. When it hit the ground, they walked away. I hesitated in grabbing the paper, but curiosity got the better of me. The words on the paper made my blood run cold and I started trembling. It said:

You can run like Hell, but I will ALWAYS find you.

Someone you will never forget, Anonymous.
