When I woke up, the house was silent.

So. Scarily. Silent.

So, like a dimbo, I got up through Jasper's Hideaway, as I called it, and unlocked the door of the crawlspace. I saw a note taped to the door- in scratchy letters, all it said was- RUN.

I took their advice. I ran.

Then something cold gripped my neck and flung me towards the wall. Next thing I knew, I was knocked out cold.

When I woke up, I was strapped to a chair, facing our living room sofa. When I saw what was there, I started balling my eyes out.

In front of me were five dead people- Mom, Dad, Derik, Austin, and Erik. Each with ropes around their middle body. All dead. Lifeless. Non-moving. Gone.

"You will join them soon, my love." Said a mans voice. I struggeled against the ropes.

"No, not if I can help it." I said.

"Listen, behind each person is a package. A weapon is in each package. You will have one chance to fight me. If you lose, you die. But if you win, I die. Got it?" He said, his fingers running through my hair. His hands had the most gentle touch, I wanted them to stay there forever. He ran his fingers through and through, his magnificent hands making me hungry for more. I forced the feeling to leave my body. You are going to be killing him! I thought. Theres no use falling in love!

"Pick." he said. I felt my eyes start to swell up again, looking at my families lifeless bodies.

"Andrew..." I said, pausing. "I pick... Andrew."
