Chapter 17

Nikki’s P.O.V

Ramona popped by earlier while Demitri was out. She demanded some girl time so we went off to go shopping.

We looked around for three hours, holding onto countless shopping bags.

We talked about many things, how I am going, how Demitri and I’s relationship is going and general questions about how I’m settling.

She explained how much she misses Esme and I. Which reminds me, Esme and Carlos are coming back tomorrow from their little couple get away.

They decided not to have contact with everyone else. So Carlos wouldn’t be distracted with ‘work’ business and Esme, well so Esme and I won’t be on the phone talking every waking second.

Of course if there was an emergency we would call Carlos’ work phone which he took just in case of a gang related emergency, which thankfully hasn’t needed to be done.

Ramona and I got into the car and she drove me back to Demitri’s house, well I guess it is sort of my house now too.

I thanked her and got out of the car while trying to gather all my bags. I wave goodbye before I enter the house, she drives off just as I unlock the door.

I walk in to a dark house. The lights are all off, no signs of anyone present. I step in and close the door behind me, slightly fearful of what may be in the house.

I place my bags beside the door in the hallway. I turn and flick the switch on, filling the scarily dark room with bright light. My eyes take a second to adjust.

I look around as I take wary steps down the hallway.

I glance around and my eyes pick up on something on the wall. I walk closer to get a better look at it.

It’s a note. Instantly I panic thinking that the people threatening us are in the house now or were while I was out.

My heartbeat picks up and my hands become clammy when I hear a small noise. My head snaps in the direction of where I heard the unknown sound and see nothing out of place.

I slowly turn my attention back to the note and read it carefully.

‘Follow the signs. –Demitri =)’

I let out a shaky breath of relief. It’s only Demitri, what is he doing anyway?

What signs?

I look over down the hall and see more notes on the walls. I go over and see they have arrows on them. I follow the arrows silently, waiting to where they shall lead me.

I walk up the stairs and down the halls following pieces of paper with simple markings.

The final arrow leads to my room. Why would they lead me to my room?
