Kaelynn's POV
Jssksgxhdgxbkasoxbxyshxxc.
Yes that is my brain right now and it's been like so for the past week. Send help.
"How're you holding up kiddo?"
"My brain feels like scrambled eggs." Adrian laughs slightly and cuddles me from behind.
"I have absolutely no idea what to do Adrian."
"Well-"
"Like. I have the fuckboyish son of my father's not dead rival in my house telling me my supposedly dead brother is still alive. On top of that, I'm ignoring the existence of the boy I like because my father is an asshole who can ruin his life."
Adrian makes no interruption which I see as permission to keep ranting.
"I know I'm a legal adult and should be able to handle my own shit and everything but damn life should cut me a break. Then there's Joseph, the first friend I made when I moved here and surprise! I made him a target too. Am I just really meant to be alone? At least that way more people will be safe."
I furrow my eyebrows at his silence, normally this would be the part he'd throw some oddly helpful advice and some encouragement to go.
"Adrian. You there buddy, a little quiet aren't you?" I turn to him with my knees between his legs and my heart stops.
He is completely still and his eyes are glazed over.
"Adrian. Adrian. Dude this isn't funny. Cut it out............please"
I frantically search for anything strange on his body and find a small dart with a note attached at the back of his neck.
This is a warning. (ง'-̀̀'́)ง
What the actual fuck?
"Help!" Everyone in the house run into the room a bit panicky.
"What happened?" Joseph asks breathing heavily and looking a little disheveled. I observe Lucas is in a similar state; clothes wrinkled, lips swollen and is that a hickey on Luca's heck? You know what not gonna question that at the moment.
"I-it's Adrian. He doesn't look good and I found a dart at the back of his neck. It had this note attached to it." Lucas takes the note from me and reads it. All colour drains from his face after he does.
"Well. We're fucked."

Our family doctor tends to Adrian as the rest of us assess this shit.
"You guys don't get it there is only one person on earth who would send a threat note like that."
"Doesn't seem very threatening if he adds emoticons at the end of his death notes." Joseph isn't exactly wrong. What kind of hitman does that?
Trying hard to figure out who he is I'm hit with a flurry of memories.
"Hello little one. Are you lost?" The little girl nods at the lady with pretty hair.
"You don't seem very scared for a lost kid." The girl shrugs and finally comments on the lady's hair.
"Your hair is pretty. Looks like crayons." The lady smiles and reaches up to touch her recently re-dyed red and blue pigtails.
"It's a shame I have to do this. You're a sweet one."
The child looks up confused, she's met with a gun to her side. At a young age she knowns what the shiny metal does, daddy has one in his drawers and she knows making a sound could end her young life. She cries now scared wanting AJ to save her like he always did.
"Let's take your pretty headband and leave a note for daddy eh?"
I've got her. Fifty mil or she's history. I'm being nice cause she's sweet (^_^;)
Luckily the girl was found before being successfully taken. She never forgot the lady though or her name.
"Haley Quinn." Lucas looks at me shocked I know the culprit.
"Yeah. That's her."
"He's gonna be okay. The toxin isn't life threatening, but he'll be in that state for about three days max." We all nod at the doctor as he leaves.
That psycho's gonna get it.
