Beacon Hills is a strange place (Liam Dunbar fanfic)

Chapter 3

I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing. With sleep still in my eyes, I was going to ignore it until I saw who sent the message. It was Malia. Suddenly I was wide awake. She told me to meet her in the woods and that I must come alone. It was one of the coldest nights, over this past winter. I thought I might freeze to death before I get to see Malia.

At first I couldn't see her, as she was hiding in the dark. Then I heard her voice. "Did you come alone?" she said in her usual monotone voice. "Yes" I said curtly. Letting her know that I was truly alone and that no one followed me. "Good." "So what is so important, that you needed to drag me out of bed during one of the most coldest nights of the year." I broke the silence.
" I don't know how to tell you this, but you have to know." Malia said slowly. "Tell me what?" I asked confused. "Before you say anything, tell me where you ran off to, over the past 6 months." I interrogated. " Thats something I have to explain later. There is something more important that I have to tell you." Malia said hurriedly. "More important than your disappearance." I countered. "Yes." she said coldly "Okay then, go on." I urged.

"It's about Jake." She aid matter of factly. "W..What? why are you bringing him up again. I'm still struggling to cope with it. I told everyone not to mention his name. Oh wait, You wouldn't know, cause you weren't here." I laughed bitterly. "Katy, Jake is alive."Malia said getting straight to the point. "W..W..What?,T..Thats not possible." I stuttered

"I saw him die." I said,sounding surprised. "Yeah, well he is alive now. There is something else I should tell you about him." Malia said nervously. "What? I thought him being alive is shocking enough,what could be worse?" I said sarcastically.

"Jake is the one who is killing people" Malia said quickly. "That is worse." I muttered, feeling ashamed of myself. "This doesn't make any sense. Jake is alive but he is killing people. Why?" "Thats what I've been trying to figure out. I had to tell you about him, before I continued to find out more about him. "

"Are you sure that it is Jake and that you are not mistaking him for soneome else." I asked, hoping that she was wrong. "I'm absolutley sure." I took in a huge breath. That would explain all those crazy dreams I have been having about him. I don't why but I just do. Maybe I should Malia, perhaps she could know what it means. "Uh, Malia there is something that I have to tell you." I said nervously. "I doubt it can be worse than mine." She laughed. "Well sorta. The thing is that I have been experiencing strange dreams latey, it was mostly about Jake. I think it has something to do what is going on right now. I didn't want to say anything cause everyone could think I'm crazy." I explained. "To be honest, it sounds you have been dealing with PTSD. The dreams you have been experiencing occur because of what happened. In case you thought it could be your hidden supernatural ability. If you thought you were crazy, you are not the only one. This Beacon Hills. Everyone is crazy here." She helped. "Wow. Great speech sis. Thanks, I needed that. I missed you so much." I said as I pulled her into a hug. "No problem. I knew you had to hear it." She said.

"By the way, why did you want me to come alone?" I asked curiously. "No one else would understand the situation better than you. You can then explain the situation to everyone else, since you know Jake better than anyone else." She said truthfully. "Thank you for understanding." I said gratefully. "You should be getting back now. Everyone might be getting worried. Especially Liam."

" Yeah, Liam is always so wrried now, especially since, that mons... I mean Jake is killing people." I muttered glumly. "See you later. I have somewhere to go." Malia said a little too quickly. "Okay... Sure. Just don't pull another disappearing act on us again" I warned. "Don't worry thay won't be happening again any time soon." She laughed.

With that she vanished into the woods. Probaby off to hunt a deer or something like that. I thought. When I got back, it was still dark. Hoping that Liam was still sleeping. That hope quickly evaporated. I found him lying in bed, wide awake. Dam, I'm in so much trouble. "Where the hell have you been?" He asked angrily. "Couldn't sleep, so I went outside for some fresh air." I lied. He didn't buy it. "Seriously, thats the best that you can do. You would be mad to go outside its 5°C. Did you want to freeze to death? What could have been so important that you had to leave the house?" Liam interrogated fiercely.

I couldn't lie to him, I can't do that to him. "Okay, the truth is that I met up Malia." I admitted. "Wait... What? Did you say Malia?" He asked confused. "Yeah, she just came back. She found out something horrible."
"What is it that she found?"
"Its more of a who. She discovered that Jake is the person who is killing people." I said softly. "Jake?,but he is dead." "Thats what I said. Somehow he was brought back to life. He is not the same person anymore." I said, trying to keep myself from tearing up. I wasn't successful. I burst into tears.

Liam pulled me into his arms. " I wish I could have done something to save him" I sobbed."There was nothing you could do." "I should have tried harder" "Katy, this not your fault." "It is. If it wasn't for me he would still be himself. We have to find a way to save him Liam, we just have to." "I will do everything in power to do so. I promise. "
