Deadly Beloved

The Bump in the Night

 

: Macey's  POV :

I allowed the note to slide through my fingers in the dark, who was E.M? ''E.M, E.M, E.M..'' I spoke out softly yet thoughtfully, going through all the people I knew, no E.Ms and no one whom would write in such a manner nor present the note in such a way...Who would spend that much time on something for someone like me? I am not worth anyone's time, especially someone who spoke so kindly yet with such a high ranking demeanour...

I threw on a jacket and walked out of my door, down and around the twisting corridors, down stairs, travelling around more corridors, out one last door and then walking across the campus, a nippy breeze tickling my body, though it was enough to send a chill right to my bones. I opened the stiff gate and started to enter the forest, I folded my arms across my chest to keep myself warm, the wind pushing back my hair. I stepped over logs, trekked up hills, hopped across streams and ducked under twisting branches.

Once more I felt at peace..I mean, it was cold but I felt connected and collected.  It was quiet apart from the odd chirp of a cricket or flutter of bat wings...I moved silently through the trees until I heard the snap of a twig, I froze like a rabbit in head lights and looked around ''Hello?'' another snap ''Anyone there?'' I took a step back, another louder snap could be heard and I had had enough, I turned on my heels and sprinted, I ran as fast as I could, leaping and turning before I thumped into something, I squealed but quickly felt someone wrap a muscular arm around me and a large hand covering my mouth, muffling all sound, I looked up to see the silhouette of a man dressed in a suit, he appeared to lift me up and embrace me, running the thumb over my lips as if hypnotised, and I couldn't move, I was captivated by someone I couldn't see.

''Are you alright?'' he appeared to ask, all I could do was nod, he released me and as he did I looked around, once I turned back he had vanished. A sense of hurt and shock came over me, so many emotions hit me at once that I fell onto my backside, I was quickly brought back by the shouts of a familiar voice

''MACE! Oh my god, are you alright?!'' Dillion rushed to my side, and seemed to lift me up in his warm arms. I was shocked for moment unable to speak. All I could do was stare which caused him even more worry. My vision started going blotchy and I lost control of my thought before seeming to enter a void of sorts.

: E.M's POV :

I felt energised...To touch her velvety lips..Her warm skin, to gaze into her bright eyes...To have her in my arms, to hold her...It felt unreal, too good to be true..However...I now had a problem to deal with, someone was lingering that shouldn't. And I have the feeling I know of whom it is.
