Lost Alone In The Dark ● Calum Hood fanfiction ○

Chapter 36 ● I can tell this isn't gonna end well ○

Why the hell did I agree to meet up with these strangers with Michael and Luke? We shouldn't be going there anyway... I already know this isn't gonna be safe. We're just putting ourselves in danger. For what? To find out who the fuck is sending these dumb anonymous letters to us. This is stupid. I can picture these freaks waiting for us to arrive so they can threaten the life out of us. I have a feeling this is Darren or someone imitating him. Maybe I could get them to show the letter to Valley she might know something about it. Ashton thinks to himself. 

"Where's the proof you weren't a part of that letter?" Calum asks Cade. "I'm still trying to figure out how to prove it to you I'm not a part of this" he replies to him through his thoughts. "Well you better figure it out soon cause I'm fed up of waiting to find out whether you definitely have a part in this or not" he replies. "Okay okay I'll try to find it today" he responds. "You better and let me know if that's impossible too" he responds back.

"Luke, you know where we're supposed to meet these people right?" Michael asks him. "Yeah" he replies. "What are we gonna tell Calum?" Ashton questions them. "Nothing I suppose" Michael answers him. "So we just leave?" Ashton asks. "Yep" Luke replies.

"How the hell am I gonna find proof that I wasn't part of the letter?" Cade asks Daphne. "I'm unsure I'll have to think about it" she replies. "Be quick he's getting impatient" he responds. "I'll try my best" she responds back.

"Guys before we meet these creeps can we show this letter to Valley?" Ashton asks them. "Yeah I guess we could" Michael replies. "Let's go then" Luke replies. The three of them then leave Calum's house to go to the nighclub.

Where are they going now? I heard them leave. I hope they're not in some kind of trouble. If they are I'm gonna end up blaming myself. I mean I'm the one who got them into this mess right? Calum thinks to himself.

Valley just finished her shift for the day. "Hey Valley" Ashton greets her. "Hi Ashton" she greets back. "Can we talk?" He asks. "Sure meet me at the back" she replies. "Okay" he replies. The three of them leave the nightclub and walk to the back. Valley follows behind a little while after them. "So, what is it you wanna talk about?" She asks. Luke slowly takes the letter out of his pocket.

"I have no idea what proof to give you" Cade tells Calum through his thoughts. "So it is impossible" he replies to him his tone of voice proves that he knew he wouldn't be able to find it. "Well yeah I suppose I don't know what I'm supposed to show you" he responds. "Well I don't know either. I was just wasting your time" he responds back. "I should have known" he replies. "Yep, and I should have tried to prevent you from wasting my time when you did, but I couldn't" he responds. "Like I said you would never have the upper hand" he responds back. "I did right now" he replies. "You didn't" he replies. "Admit it I did" he responds. "Fine you did but I'm still stronger than you" he responds back.

"A letter?" Valley asks them. "Yeah" Luke replies. "And there's no names signed not even an initial?" She questions. "Yeah again" Luke answers. "I can tell you for sure then it definitely isn't Dare" she replies. "So, who is it?" Michael questions. "I'm not really sure" she answers. "How are you certain it isn't Darren?" Ashton asks for confirmation. "Dare likes taking credit for all the threats and whatever terrible things he does" she confirms. "How come he never showed us what he looks like then?" Michael asks. "That's part of his games he likes being anonymous in only that way" she replies. "He would eventually reveal himself though" she adds. "What does he look like?" Luke questions. "I can't describe him or he'll kill me like literally kill me" she answers in a serious tone.

"It was a trick" Cade tells Daphne. "He knew I wouldn't be able to find anything" he adds. "And you were dumb enough to fall for it" she replies to him. "What are we gonna do?" He questions. "We do our plan as usual just leave the pretending to be Darren part out of it" she replies. "Alright, we're meeting them today?" He questions. "Yep" he replies. "Are we gonna lure Calum to our location too?" He asks. "Yeah" she replies.

"Any clue on who this might be?" Ashton asks Valley. "It might be Daphne" she replies. "Who's Daphne?" Michael questions. "Darren's ex girlfriend who happens to be a witch" Valley answers him. "That's cool" he replies. "Is it safe to go then?" Luke asks. "My guess is no" she replies. "I feel like we need to though" Michael says. "Okay but please be careful she's really powerful" she tells them to be cautious. "We will" Luke replies. "Thanks for discussing this with us" Ashton tells her. "It's no problem" she replies. "We gotta go see you later" Michael tells her. "See you and stay safe" she replies telling them to be cautious again.

"Calum" Darren calls him through his thoughts. "Yeah Dare?" He asks. "I need updates, who was the letter for?" He replies and asks him a question. "My friends, why?" He answers and asks him a question back. "They could be in trouble" he answers him. "Oh, what if it's too late?" He asks him. "What do you mean?" He replies a question back. "They went somewhere" he answers him. "That can't be good" he replies. "Why do you care anyway?" He asks. "Cause you'll do something stupid if something happens to them" he replies. "Since when do you care if I do something stupid?" He asks. "Since I found out you're the next person whose mind I take control of" he replies.

"Guys are we seriously gonna meet this witchy freak now?" Ashton asks the both of them. "Yeah, we are" Michael replies. "What if we get hurt?" Ashton asks them. "We won't" Luke replies. "Ugh! Let's just go already" Michael replies getting kind of irritated.
