3 Months Later

Your POV

It's been a few months since Bri passed. We never did burry her. Talon claimed that he had a way to being her back, but you doubted it'd work.

Nothing happened since she passed. No one talked. No one slept. No one smiled.

Everyday Gillian went out to find the mystery murderer, but always with no luck.

It was always morning hours when people fell asleep. They were tired so why lay there keeping their eyes open for hours. You were always last to sleep.

While you were laying there, you constantly thought you heard sobbing coming from somewhere in the house. For the first week you walked around, only to find everyone completely asleep.

Every night or so you'd open the window. That's when the crying was the loudest.

One time you looked outside to see a figure in the woods, shoulders bobbing, as if they were laughing or crying. You never bothered the figure though, for you were much too tired to poke your nose into trouble.

One day you decided it'd be best if you told them about the figure. You gathered everyone in the living room.

"I wanted to tell you all about something. Now, you all know about Gillian's daily hunts for Her murderer,"

They all nodded their heads.

"And they never turn out well. But since I'm the last one to fall asleep, I hear crying at night. And last night, when I looked out the window, I saw a figure. It was just sitting there, sobbing in the woods. I think that might be our sniper."

Everyone looked at you intently.

"So, what do we do?" Levi asked you.

"What?! Why are you asking me?"

"You're the only one who's seen this person crying, so, you make the plan."

Even Gillian was looking at you, awaiting orders.

You looked into her eyes. Around her team she was so strong, brave, fearless. But now you could see, she was lost, broken.

"Okay, here's the plan.

Let's get the big one out of the way; we need a way to keep everyone awake. Any ideas?"

"Coffee?"

"Energy pills?"

"Taking a nap?"

"..."

"What? If we take a nap, we won't be extremely tired when we put the plan to action." Logan defended his idea.

"Ok, since napping is the only possible option, that's what we'll do. It's already 8:00 pm, so I suggest that we all get settled in for our nap. We wake up at 1:00 am. I usually see him around 2:00.

Once we're awake, we need to stay as quiet as possible. I'm really quiet when he's here, so any noises might alert him of what we're doing.

Drink soda, coffee, anything to keep you awake.

We'll discuss the stations after we sleep."

Everyone got comfortable and fell asleep, you being the first for once. You were so confident of the plan in your head that you knew it couldn't fail.

You were going to avenge Bri. Even if it was the last thing you did.
