Anyway, Im okay now and I'm ready to start posting chapters again for you lovely people! Hope you understand my short absence, I love you! <3 

-----------------

My journey home today was particularly lonely. As of late, Nate had been driving me home but today I made sure he didn't and I walked instead knowing full well my mother would be watching from the window. If she spotted even a hint of me breaking one of her many rules, she would send me to boarding school without hesitation. I wish I was joking. 

Out of all the possible things I would expect my mother to threaten me with, I did not expect the police. But, the sight of the police car parked up outside my aunts house made me realise that my mother will stop at nothing to make my life miserable. I imagine she thinks that I need to have a talking to by a person of authority so that I start to behave the proper way, the way she 'raised' me. Auntie Emily would be at the hospital now for work so she wouldn't even be there to back me up. This should be fun.

Worry surged over me when I entered my home to see Emily, my mother, a police officer and a very important looking man in a suite sat around the kitchen table. Emily had worry plastered all over her face and when she saw me she let out a breath she seemed to have been holding since I left this morning. She jumped out of her chair instantly and rushed over to me, hugging me tightly and whispering 'Thank God' multiple times, mostly to herself. 

"What's going on?" I asked once Emily let go of me.

"Theadora, my name is Officer Hawkins," The man in the black suite said to me, standing also from his chair and shaking my hand. "I'm afraid we have some distressing news for you." 

"Sit down, sweetie." Emily said, I can tell she was trying not to cry. Whatever is happening is serious and a wave of fear came over me as I sat in the chair she pulled out for me. Officer Hawkins sat in the chair beside me, an apologetic look on his face. 

"It has come to our attention that Caine has had contact with some people whilst he's inside." Officer Hawkins said. I breathed a sigh of relief, it was about Caine, I thought someone had died. 

"So?" I asked, suddenly bored of the conversation. Whatever Caine was planning the police would be able to stop.

"We have reason to believe he's setting someone on you." The other police officer said.

"What? To kill me?" I asked. The officers exchanged a look before but before they could say anything, the actual wicked with of the west interrupted. I wondered how long it would be before she started.

"Of course to kill you, Theadora. Now is not the time for your naivety. Wasn't the last thing he ever said to you a murder threat? Well look now he's seeing it through." She scoffed, as though its my fault that my ex boyfriend has sent someone to kill me. 

"But, you'll be able to find out who Caine is contacting and arrest him before he gets to me?" I asked the officers, ignoring my mothers comment. 

"Unfortunately, its not that simple. Caine is clever and he hasn't made it very easy to track who he's talking to. That's why we are here, is there anyone you have encountered lately that you would consider suspicious?" I shook my head, no. 

"Yes!" My mother said, everyones attention fell on her. "That boy you were with this morning!" 

"Wait, are you talking about Nate?" I couldn't help but smirk a little, my mother really is stupid. "Sorry, Officer, my mother isn't here much. She doesn't know Nate but I do and I know I can trust him."
