THE POWER OF TRUE LOVE

CHAPTER 1

CRYSTAL'S POV
I parked my car on the roadside just a few meters away and started making my way to our house.You see, after me, Tyler and all of our friends graduated from high school, all of us decided to move in together. We have been living in the UK for the past 3 years now and we couldn't have been happier. All of us are living the best moments of our life and even though life seems to be back on track for us, my mind keeps drifting back to what had happened 3 years ago. I know it is all in the past but it still haunts me. I took a deep breath to calm myself down, reminding myself that all of us were now together, happy and safe. I started climbing the steps to the front porch of our shared house and reached the front door. I took out the keys and as I was about to unlock it, I noticed a bouquet of red roses beside the front door. I picked it up wondering who did it. At first I thought the boys did it but if it was them...there would have been 5 bouquets right?.As I turned to unlock the door with the bouquet in my hand, my eyes fell upon a piece of paper in between the roses. Is that a note?. I pulled it out and opened it. It was indeed a note...

My beautiful mate...

Did you all really think you could escape from us so easily. Love we aren't going to stop until we get what we have desired for so long, we are coming and don't you worry darling we will start our life all over again...and about that incident 3 years ago, we forgive you :)...after all we love you girls so much...

Get ready darling...
It's time for revenge...
Love
Your soon to be husband ❤

The note slipped from my trembling hands and fear started crawling inside my every nerve. "They're back" I whispered. My eyes shifted back to the bouquet and the note. Without any second thoughts I threw the note and bouquet away. My hands were trembling uncontrollably as I tried to punch the key into the keyhole. What if they were here?! this very moment?!!. Just the  thought of it made me loose my mind even more. "Stop it Crys!" I scolded myself and finally unlocked the door. I walked inside...more like stumbled and immediately closed the door, locking it. The fact that I was completely alone in the house didn't help ease my fear at all. I rushed upstairs to mine and Tyler's room and grabbed the metal bat which I had bought 3 years ago, out of complete paranoia. I rushed back downstairs and reached the living room. I sat on the couch, eyes trained at the front door. I was gripping the metal bat as if my life depends on it, which I guess does depend to some extent.

AFTER AN HOUR...

I was on the verge of going into a deep slumber when a noise woke me up. It came from outside.I was wide awake now, clutching the bat tighter than ever. Suddenly I heard a loud knock and I jumped. I tried to calm my breathing as I thought of numerous ways of tackling this situation. But then a thought crossed my mind which made the other thoughts disappear. 'They' wouldn't knock on the door if 'they' were attacking. The knock came again and I jumped once again, coming out of my thoughts. I know very well that I have no chance in winning against 'them' but I'll not go down without a fight. I walked over to the door and ever so silently unlocked it, making sure all my actions were as inaudible as possible. I knew this was equal to suicide but it is now or never. I took a deep breath and swung open the door ready to attack whoever it was."WHOA! WHOA! HEY! " I heard someone shouting. I opened my eyes, which I just noticed were tightly shut, to see it was...my friends!."Yo what has gotten into you!" Zoey shouted with disbelief. I took a sigh of relief and dropped the bat on the ground. "hey are you ok, what's wrong? " Sarah said with concern in her voice."Hey what's that!" Ashley said picking up the bouquet of roses which I had thrown away."Ash throw it away" I said with caution. "Why, it's beautiful! By the way who brought this?" Rose said looking at the bouquet with admiration. I rushed over to them and took the bouquet from Ashley's hands and threw it in the bin this time. "Hey! why would you do that! what has happened to you today" Rose asked. "Guys I'll tell you everything just please come inside!" I said with desperation in my voice. All of them nodded, observing me carefully. As all of my friends stepped in the house, I looked around our house, making sure that no one was there. Once all of us were inside the house, I closed the door and locked it shut. "Now tell us what's wrong" Zoey demanded and I took a deep breath.
