Controlled

Chapter 7

This was a crazy day. Tomorrow was the dance and well I'm pretty sure I'm not going to go, but I don't know yet. I tried to get to sleep that night but I kept having a nightmare. It was me and my brother sitting outside our house on a calm and peaceful morning. I was sad because Eli moved to Michigan. The sun was shining and the sky was blue but then suddenly the sky turned grey and the sun was gone. All I heard was a swoosh as an arrow flew past my head. Justin jumped onto his feet and pulled out a knife he was carrying just incase Eli came back. A note drifted down from the sky until it landed by my feet. I picked it up and opened it. There were four words written on it

I'm back for you

I jumped up and dropped the note.

Justin yelled "Shaina! What is it?" I couldn't answer him because I was too busy looking, looking for Eli. I knew he left the note because it was his handwriting. I looked over to where Justin was standing and there was Eli standing behind him with a knife in his hand. It looked like Eli was threatening Justin. I suddenly woke up breathing very heavy and sweating. I looked around the room and saw my parents and the police next to my bed.

I asked, "What's going on?"

My parents looked at each other and my mom said, "Well first you were screaming in your sleep."

I shuddered at the thought of my nightmare and said, "What was I screaming?"

My dad answered "We couldn't understand anything you said." There was a moment of silence until the police finally spoke up.

The tallest police said "We have some important information." I nodded and sat up on the edge of the bed.

The other police said "Okay Shaina, we are going to ask a few questions now. What was your dream about?"

"Eli wrote a note that said I'm Back For You. Then he had a knife and he was threatening Justin. Thats when I woke up."

"Ok, was there anything you noticed in this dream about Eli?"

"He still looked the same. The only different thing was the look in his eyes. It looked like they had guilt in them, and sorrow. They were also kind of red" There was silence for a while.

Then the police said, "You should probably know this. We started a search for him. He can't run around trying to kill girls that embarrass him." The police officer looked like he was getting irritated.

"I know, but can't we figure out what the note meant?" This was my mom talking. I thought she was right. This note meant something big.

"Thank you that is all we need for now. Also we have figured out the area of where he is hiding."

I said quickly, "Where is he?"

"He's in the general area of the school. We have found food wrappers around the school. The school doesn't sell those types of wrappers."

I started freaking out and asking many questions at once "You are just going to leave him there? Why are there freaking wrappers? What are you going to do? Why would he go to the school?" It was then when I realized what he was doing at school and asked one last question, "What was he wearing?"

The police answered, "He looked like he was wearing a suit and a blue tie. Why do you ask?"

I didn't answer the full question. All I said was, "I know why he is in the school. I just need to get there."
