Bea Messina

"Momma, there's a letter addressed to you." Oscar says sweetly, handing me the mail from the mail box.

"Thank you baby." I say smiling, taking the letter from his small hands. I look at it curiously and go up to my office, leaving the kids in the living room with Kirk and Jackson.

Sitting at my desk, I open the letter addressed 'Bea Messina'

Ripping it open, I fold open the handwritten letter:

'Dear Bea,

I know your dirty little secret. Turns out you were slutting around even when you were a child.
I'm going to come for you. That's not a threat, it's a promise. You will have to pay the price for your deeds. And don't think I don't know what happens in the dark.
Your secrets won't be kept for long Bea Messina.
I'll see you soon.

-Apagogéas'

I don't exactly to think right now. All I know is, someone's coming for me.

"Hey kitten." Ace says as he enters my house, coming over to me and kissing my temple as his arms wrap around my waist. "What's wrong?" He asks after seeing my pained expression.

"We need to talk." I state abruptly and breaking from his grasp, going up to my room. I hear him follow close behind as I head up the stairs.

As soon as I enter my room, I begin to pace nervously. "Baby, what's wrong?" Ace asks worried as he grabs my hands, successfully stopping me from walking around any longer.

I shake my head and break his grasp, taking the letter I received earlier from my pocket, placing it in his hand. He looks at it curiously and reads it over.

I watch his eyes read over the text as he tries to wrack his brain on what to think.

"Bea, they are not going to touch you or your beautiful children. That is a promise, everything is going to be ok." He says pulling me in. I nod and place my hands on his chest as his arms encase me.

Shortly later, he picks me up and we both fall into my bed. I fall asleep shortly after, feeling safe within his arms.

***

As if breaking my loving dreams, I hear a crash.

I quickly open my eyes to see a man has come through the window.

I can't quite see his face in the dark but before I can react, a pinprick is felt on the back of my neck.

Slowly my eyes begin to shut and I see Ace still sound asleep next to me.
