The Forest

Another One Bites The Dust (Clover's POV)

"We have to tell them about John," Bishop said, frantic.

"I know," I said, "but it's getting kind of late." When really it was only around 9:30.

"Okay, so then let's call the rest of the group up, and figure out a place to meet at tomorrow," Bishop replied, while grabbing at my hands. I took hold of his, smiled, and nodded in agreeance.

"He took out his phone when a look of pure terror came upon his face.

"What.. What is it, Love?" I asked, squeezing his hand tight.

He didn't speak, just shook his head as tears started to form in the corners of his eyes. I took the phone from him, immediately getting the same feeling, and started to cry.

*New Message from Unknown Number*
       "I took Loren down, and now, I'm coming for the rest of y'all. Autumn is looking real lonesome over there at the bar. Maybe I should pay her a little visit? Can't decide whether with my knife or my gun. You'd think that they'd have better security in the bar; I guess not. Or I could go visit Delilah, who just so happens to be down the street. You guys made a really stupid decision; leaving the bar like that. This mistake is going to cost you. You get to choose who."

I looked at Bishop with fear and terror in my eyes. I, with his phone still in hand, dialed both Autumn's and Delilah's numbers.

*Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring*

"Yeah, sis? What's up?"

"Where the hell are you?! Why are you at the bar?" I screamed into the phone.

"For one, why would you ask me where I was if you already knew? I'm where y'all are supposed to be. I should be the one asking y'all where the hell you are," Autumn replied, clearly annoyed.

"Yeah, where are y'all at?" Delilah chimed in, clearly having enough of Autumn and I arguing.

"Oh my gosh, Delilah! You both are okay!" 

"Clove, what the fuck are you talking about? Of course we're okay," Autumn said, confused.

"Yeah, seriously. What the hell is happening?" Delilah said.

I took a deep breath and explained everything; from John, and his connection, to the creepy as hell message. I heard Autumn gasp and gag a few times, while Delilah remained silent. Bishop took his phone away from me.

"Autumn, Delilah, this is serious. Your lives have just been threatened. Why aren't y'all t-"

He got choked up. Tears started falling down his cheeks. I wiped tears from his eyes.

"Just be careful, okay?" I said, just for the fact that Bishop couldn't talk. He nodded in agreeance.

"Okay, we will. Let's add ALex and Jinx to the call, so that they can know what's going on," Delilah said as she hung up.

"Ello Luvs," Jinx said in his most British accent ever.

"Jinx! Hello! Alex, are you there as well?" Bishop asked as he put the phone on speaker.

"Yeah I'm here. So what was that whole text thing about, that Delilah was saying?" lex asked.

"It's a hella long story, hun. WE're all going to meet at the Bluffs tomorrow. At like twelve p.m. I'll explain everything tomorrow," I replied.

"Sounds like a plan to me. Maybe then we can all share our findings," Jinx said.

We all hung up then, while Bishop wrapped me in a tight hug. We received another text from the unknown messenger, whom we think is the killer.

*New message from unknown*
          "Your little British friend needs to watch his back. He could be the next one of y'all killed. Don't even think of going to the police with this. I'll know if you do. I'm always watching. You're never safe. You're never truly away away from me."

"Love," Bishop said, "I swear I won't let anything happen to you. I love you, with my heart and soul to death."

I know how much shit has changed. So much has changed since we were little. But the way he looked at me, that never changed. "I love you, too Bishop," is all I could muster out. I grasped his hand tight, while tears fell down his face. 

I don't know why, but something about Bishop made me keep loving him. I didn't know exactly what to say as him and I walked the long and silent walk home. We reached my door and I invited him in, since it was freezing. Also, I wanted him to stay the night.

"It would make things a lot easier if I stayed, I guess..." Bishop said. I could sense that he was nervous and scared. 

I led him to the couch. I ran my fingers through his hair, which made him blush and bite his lip hella hard. I quickly made my move by moving onto his lap. I then bit his neck, which made him release a small moan. He kissed me, probably the most passionate he has ever kissed me. He pulled my t-shirt off, which exposed my bra. His eyes began to wander, so I let his hands explore. I slipped Bishop's shirt off and then left hickeys all over his chest and his neck. He picked me up, and set me down on the couch. I blushed my head off as he kissed my stomach. 

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Bishop asked, making sure that I was okay with this.

I kissed him and slid my hand down his shorts, then nodded my head. He took me up to the bedroom in which we had a lot of fun (A/N: I'm going to spare you the details). 

I woke up the next morning, and he wasn't in the bed. I walked down stairs to the kitchen. That's where he was. He was making breakfast and coffee, which he looked so fucking precious doing. 

"Good morning, Beautiful," he said as he kissed my forehead.

"Good morning to you as well, Love," I said, smiling at him.

We got dressed, and headed for the Bluffs, in which we were all supposed to meet. It was almost noon, and everyone was there. Well, almost everyone.

"Where's Jinx?" I asked.

"I don't know. I saw her like two hours ago," Autumn said.

"Should we call her?" Bishop said, getting nervous.

"No he should be fine," Delilah replied, scaring us a little.

"No, we should call him," Alex said contradicting what Delilah had said.

*Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring*

"The person that you are calling does not have a voice message system set up. Please, try your call again later. Goodbye."

"Damn, no answer," I said, clearly getting pissed off.

"Try his house phone," Bishop said.

We tried every phone number that we had for Jinx, but got nothing. That's when we all received a message from the killer.

*New Message From Unknown Messenger*
          "I told you that you had to choose who died. You didn't choose, so I chose for you all. JInx is gone now; that's right, he's dead. So that makes two- none? You won't find me. Don't even try. You don't even know me. Or maybe you do. Watch out, Little Miss Delilah. I'm coming for you next."

"Oh my god, NO!" I screamed.

"Not Jinx!" Alex screamed with me.

We all broke out into tears. Who would do such a thing to these two innocent people? Who would tear apart this little community? Why us? Why our friend group? Why did it have to go like this? Little did we know, this wasn't the end.
