"Ka-Ka-Katelyn?" I stuttered.

"Hey, honey, did you miss me?" She always called me honey. I don't know why, though. And I don't even know how it's possible to get such a sweet word out of such a sour mouth.

"Hardly. Why are you here?" I asked her plainly.

"I have a certain task to take care of. Just a little word that starts with A and ends in E. I've been needing to do it now for a while. Three years, maybe? I don't know, who's counting?" Three years? Is she planning murder? Or kidnapping my boys? Wait, that means that she could be armed at this very second.

"You're not making any sense to me, Katelyn, dear." I played dumb. In order for me to get away from this psycho witch safely I have to get her off guard.

"Let me just have a little bit of story time with you. It all started 3 years ago on July 23rd, 2010; the day One Direction was born. As you know, all I want in life was fame. I didn't stand a chance against 5 hot British fellas with the voices of angels, so I did what I must do to achieve my dream of fame: start an alter ego to assinate Harry Styles. Without Harry, the whole band would be broken amateurs. You might've already heard of my work, but of course I go by my alternative name: Mr. X." That actually makes a lot of sense! I can't believe I didn't guess it was her all along any sooner.

"I always knew your jealousy would get the best of you one day, Katelyn."

"I've never been jealous of anyone!"

"Keep telling yourself that."

"If anyone here is jealous, it's you! You've always been jealous of me! Ever since you moved to my little hometown in second grade!"

"There is nothing to be jealous of. Look at yourself, you're a mess! You're even considering murder!"

"Well, when I'm famous I'll be sure to include your name in the acknowledgements section of my debut album."

"No thanks."

"But don't you want to be remembered?"

"Remembered?"

"Yeah, don't you want at least some people to mourn over your death?"

"But I'm not-" I now knew what she meant as she pulled a big knife from behind her back.

"Shit." I muttered under my breath. Then she gave me an evil smile and lunged towards me. I quickly dodged the blonde bimbo and she crashed into a nearby tree. I briefly watched her struggle to pull the dagger out of the thick bark of the tree and then I ran. I wasn't sure where I was heading, but I needed to get away from Katelyn fast.

As I ran, I dodged bushes and branches as best as I could. I felt my arms stinging as I shielded my face from harm.

******

I had been running for quite some time now and I couldn't breathe that well, so I stopped. I bent over and grabbed my knees a panted. After about 5 minutes, my breathing power turned regular again.

I looked around at my surroundings and instantly knew I was definitely lost. I reached into my shorts' pocket for my phone but quickly remembered I left it at the cabin.

It was beginning to get dark and locusts rustled in the trees. Surely Louis and Harry are still looking for me. I'll try calling them. I cupped my hands over my mouth and began to call.

"HARRY! LOUIS! I'M LOST! COME GET ME!" I heard no replies, so I decided to try again.

"HARRY! LOU-," My yelling was muffled by a hand covering my mouth forcefully. Then I felt another hand lift me up with an arm clutching around me. I tried to cry for help, but all that came out were pffs and gmms. This is it. This is where I'm gonna die.
