Lights Out

Chapter 2

Honestly Stella, stop being an idiot, I thought to myself, maybe this is a dream, and I'm dreaming that it isn't. Yeah, Alec could have never gotten out. Unless...He did... Ok, the only way I can really test if this is a dream is the classic pinch myself! No one feels pain when they're dreaming! No one!

Perfect! I grabbed my arm and pinched myself as hard as possible.

"Ouch!" I yelped in pain! A throbbing red pinch mark was on my arm.

Nope, definitely not a dream, I thought. Wait... if this isn't a dream, that means Alec really escaped and he really is out there.

I pick up my phone to hear my ringtone;

A:Believe me now?

S:WHERE ARE YOU ALEC! TELL ME, NOW!

A:Why should i? As much as I love you, you don't love me... YET. And you'll tell the police sooooo... NO.

S:AT least give me a hint!

A:How about...NO. But, you wanna know something? I can see the future:). Everyone you love will die if you don't come with me...

I knew Alec. He would stalk me and kidnap me, but he would never go as far to kill someone...I hoped...

S:I know you Alec. You won't kill anyone.

A:Oh Stella... Who told you I was gonna do it;)

S:STOP WITH THE WINKY FACES. I love someone else!

A: What?! WHO?! That's impossible.

S:None of your business!

Alec always wanted to know what I was doing. Once I told him I was going to my friends house for a sleepover, and he snuck into her house and watched us the ENTIRE time.

A:TELL ME.

S:NO. LEAVE.ME.ALONE.

A:NO?...I guess I'll have to kill your brother...I never did like him...

S:WAIT! no...I'll tell you! Do you need to know though?

A:Yes! I do!

S:Don't do ANYTHING to him

Did I have to tell him? Yes, I did. Maybe if I do, he'll tell me where he is...but even if I don't... my brother will have to pay the price.

A:Fine...

S:Very well.

A:Tell me. I'm getting impatient. You know what happens when I get impatient.

Sadly I did know. Alec had a very short temper. He once pulled out a stop sign.

S:...Josh... Bennett...

A:WHAT?! YOU'RE MINE! NOT HIS! He is going to die! And very soon!

I knew I shouldn't have told him. I couldn't let anyone kill or even hurt Josh.

S:WHAT! NO! STOP! LEAVE HIM ALONE! I SWEAR! THE POLICE ARE COMING!If you wanna kill someone, kill ME!

I didn't want Josh to die and I know he wouldn't want me to die either but it was either sacrifice my love and family or me.

WHAT? You want to die ? He questioned. I wouldn't kill you!

I had no idea what to say. I felt tears drip down my face.

WHY ME? I slammed my phone down. I then heard a knock on the door.

"H-h-hello? Who is it?"

"Stella, It's me, Josh!"

"What?!" I said as I peeked through the peephole. I saw a man standing there, his hood pulled over his head. He lifted his head. It looked like Josh but I couldn't trust anyone right now. But... What if it really was him? I opened the door just a little to see if it really was him. I stared in horror...
