UNDYING(On Hold)

Chapter 6

**Sarah's POV**

I couldn't believe summer was almost over and Camri was on her way home it was like it hasn't even been that long. I tried to come in contact with Gary but he was busy working so I let him be, I was in my room busy listening to the most awesome band in the world Evanescence when I got a text. Unknown:"Meet me at your house at midnight come alone" I was really confused, because I was at home and I was alone. So I texted the mysterious person back. "I am @ my house, who R U?"

I wasn't about to tell a possible serial killer that I was alone at home, my thoughts drifted off to the song that was playing Bring me to life by Evanescence when I saw my text light started blinking. Unknown:"Not the one where you currently live,the one you lived in before you moved... And lets just say I'm an old friend" I began to wonder who this person could be and I texted the person back. "How do I know I can trust U??" I became so stressed that I sat staring at my phone waiting for a reply. Ten minutes after i sent my last text I received a text I almost jumped off of my bed when my ringtone started playing, I'm getting a call from a blocked number? What can be the harm right? "Hello?" I said hesitantly "Is this Sarah?" I heard the voice say with a smooth voice, definitely a male. "Yes this is,who are you if I may ask?"     

"I told you I'm an old friend,you can trust me,we just need to talk and the safest place is in your old house! Please can you meet me there?" I hesitated and then answered. "Alright,but one problem I don't remember where I lived. And I am bringing a self defence weapon!" He chuckled at my last comment "That's fine I just want to talk I already sent you the address right before I called you,see you tonight. Make sure you're not being followed I'll keep an eye on you on your way there. Good- Bye Sarah see you in two hours."   " Wait..." He hung up on me! Seriously who does that?

It was now 23h33 and I was busy getting ready for the meeting with my mysterious friend. I put on my black skinny jean, my black hoody and my sneakers, can't be seen sneaking around in town at midnight. The house was only two blocks from my house and i wasn't planning on taking the long way it will only be three minutes of walking, I grabbed my backpack and put some pepper spray in and put my pocket knife into my skinny jean's pocket.

Can never be too careful right? I went downstairs and grabbed the house keys, I locked the door behind me and started walking at a steady pace, I was half a block away when I saw a shadow at the opposite side of the street. Just when i was about to investigate I got a text. Unknown:"Don't stop walking!! Keep on moving no matter what, when you hear your text tone again start running till you reach the house!" I was confused but I didn't hesitate to follow the instructions. I kept walking and I heard something down the street and then my text tone I started running immediately, I didn't stop until i got to the house. Lucky for me I was on the track team in my previous school and I was fit, so at this moment I wasn't even a little bit out of breath.

I saw the house and I remembered the first day of school I saw this house it had a certain pull to me, is this the house where I lived before I got shipped off to South Carolina? Why didn't I remember it? Why did have this freaky pull towards me? And why is this the safest place to talk with my mysterious friend?   All these questions flooded my mind when I heard it. "Don't look so surprised,you act as if you have never seen this place before." I turned around and saw a guy I have never seen before in my life. He chuckled at my confused face. "Let's go inside,before anyone sees us." He put his hand on my shoulder ushering me forward, I almost fell when my foot got caught on a branch. He caught me just in time with his hands around my waist, "Be careful Sarah" I looked down at his arms still around my waist. "Uhm, you can let go now"

He then also looked at his arms and his face turned red. "Oh yeah... Uhm sorry." We walked inside and saw all the furniture covered in white sheets. "Why are we here? And who are you?" He kept on walking, looking down at the floor, his lips were moving it looked like he was counting the steps he took, I was confused and scared, because with every step he took his eyes grew darker and his skin paler. " Don't look at me please!! I'm hideous,so just look away for a few minutes please.I will answer all the questions you have after this." I looked away and I saw a painting on the wall that caught my eye. It looked like a family, two children and two adults. It looked like me in the painting but I don't remember any of it.

I didn't dare look over at him, he said I shouldn't so I'm not going to. I kept looking at all the trinkets and statues and paintings, all the paintings had the same family in every one of them,the little blond girl next to the the small brown haired boy, with two people behind them looking proud, probably their parents. "You can turn around now,but please don't run away." I heard him say with a hint of insecurity in his voice. "Why would I... Oh!" I stared at him and saw the red eyes he had the ones I always saw, they were the same but they weren't the ones I saw in my dreams and at the movies. His eyes were caring and not full of hate like the others.

"What are you?" He hesitated for a moment but he opened his mouth as if to say something when we heard something breaking in the kitchen. "What was that?" I heard myself asking. "They found us,we have to get into the basement quickly" We ran as fast as we could, we reached the basement and I heard a screech in the living room it sounded so inhuman. I have to be honest I was scared as hell.
