Chapter 7

Crystal POV

The blizzard was getting worse. I could barely see anything. Not even the trees could be seen. Hopefully I don't run into one. As I slowly walk through this horrible blizzard, I also try to navigate where I am. I don't even know how far I've walked. As i walk with nowhere to go, I see this black opening, I'm guessing, that looks bottomless in the distance. I take it for shelter and walk toward it. As soon as I'm in the entrance I peek in and see nothing but darkness. I'll sleep here till the storm passes, and I think that Jack won't find me here either so I'm safe.

I walk in and throw my things on the floor. I quickly rub my arms to gather warmth so I don't freeze out here. I'll freeze out here anyway if I don't get home. I sit down by the opening of the cave and ponder with my thoughts.

I can't believe its true. That jack was this monster. This 'thing' that killed people and for what? To me, jack didn't seem like the killing type though. He seemed genuinely nice and sweet, not some animal. Maybe he was doing it to mask himself from the person he really was to get to people. He definitely got to me. I just want to leave and forget about this, ALL of this. From seeing him, the necklace, the kidnapping. This should have never happened. I look at the duffel bag I brought and hopefully thought I brought something to keep me warm. But then I realized I didn't pack anything warm, only my clothes, and a first-aid kit. Smart thinking Crystal.

I decided maybe if I sleep here the storm would pass over or calm down so I could get home. I grab the duffel bag and use it as a replacement for a pillow And gently lay my head on it. I keep thinking how I'm getting home and these weird things happening to my life until I drift off to sleep.

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

I wake up suddenly panting, and sweating, surprisingly, to the same nightmare. Me running in the woods, a pair of red eyes following me, I fall, bust my lip and the thing bits my neck. That's where the pain comes from. Now to find out who's eyes those are. What if their Jacks? I mean, he didn't tell me he was a monster, so it could be true. But his eyes turned violet, so it can't be him. I gotta let this go. I sit up right and stretch my aching body. No more sleeping on the floor ever again. I get up slowly and dust myself off. I look out side the cave. To my amusement, the blizzard had calmed down enough that you could see the figures of the trees. It was still dark out but a bit lighter though, I notice. I Decided that I needed to keep moving forward, I gotta get home.

Jack's POV

Where the hell is she?! I've searched the whole entire house, sent some of my pack to look for her, but she was still nowhere to be found. If Crystal gets killed I will kill Brianna. That's a promise. I'm pacing in my office hoping and waiting patiently for Crystal to be found so i could hold her in my arms and let her know everything's ok. I sent a group from my pack to find her outside the borders seconds ago and I'm panicking. Ok maybe I'm not that patient.

A knock from my door disturbs my thoughts. I ignore it, knowing who it is. Brianna. I can smell the excess perfume she where's and let me tell you, when I say she where's to much, she wears WAY too much. It's unbearable.

The knock's keep coming until they start to turn into poundings on the door. I groan and stomp to the door. I angrily open the door and put on the best angry, frustrated face, which I don't really have too try, she angers me enough.

"What?!" I yell. She better have a good excuse as to what she's doing here. She's shocked at first but shrugs it off. She plasters on that signature smirks she always puts on when she gets what she wants. I want to smack that off her face, but I was raised to not hit women, even if they are the reason of hurting you.
