"What's going on?" Everyone's attention turns towards Vincent and me as we walk into the living room. Everyone was gathered around the TV watching the news.
"Just watch this," Hazel says and pulls me down to sit with her.
Breaking News: A man has come forward and confessed to stalking a girl called Amara Winter and killing two people in the name of love. We have found evidence to these killings and he will be charged with murder.
My phone rings and my heart jumps. It was an unknown number. Everyone's attention turns to me and I excuse myself and walk out of the living room to pick up the phone.
"Hello?" My heart was racing.
"Hi, can I speak to Amara Winter?" The manly voice on the other side speaks.
"This is she."
"I'm PC Smith and I wanted to notify you that a man has confessed to stalking you."
"Yes, I've just seen the news. Can I come and see him?"
"Sure you can. He is custody at Petersborough Police Station. When you come, mention my name at the reception and I will come to get you."
"Okay thank you." I cut the call but my hands were shaking. I walk back into the room and everyone looks at me.
"That was the police. They called to tell me about C. And I'm going to go meet him." I had to sit down. All of this was too much. It was as if Vincent notices and he quickly grabs me before I fall.
"I'm going with you," Vincent says as he helps me sit down on the sofa.
"Me too," Pandora says and then everyone else starts chiming in.
"No. You guys stay here and wait for me to come back. I'll just go with Pandora and Vincent." Lucy and Harry looked really confused and I sighed. "Hazel, fill them in okay?" She nods and I get up with the help of Vincent.
"Let's go see who this bastard is."

The walk into the station was quiet and tense. I kept fidgeting with my hands when Vincent linked them together.
"It's going to be okay." He kisses the top of my head and I sigh.
"I just don't know what's going to happen," I whisper.
"Whatever happens, we are going to be here okay?" Pandora says and I smile.
"Hi, I'm here for PC Smith?" I ask the receptionist and he calls into the phone.
"He will be here in just a moment." A minute later or so a man walks up to us.
"Amara Winter?" He asks and I nod.
"I'm PC Smith. We spoke on the phone." I shake his hand. "Right this way." He takes us through the hallway and my fear comes back. He stops in front of a room. "Before we go in, I have to ask some questions."
"Okay." He opens the door and it was an empty interrogation room. I sit on one chair and he sits on the one opposite.
"Do I need a lawyer?"
"No this is just standard protocol."
"Okay."
"So full name?"
"Amara Jane Winter."
"Date of Birth?"
"24/10/2001"
"Ahh happy birthday." I smile in return.
"So Amara, I looked upon our database and saw that you didn't report this?"
