Angel Wings

The Hunt

My mind started racing, I was confused and desperate at the same time. Desperate for an answer. If i'm goin to help Aaron then i have to do this alone. I cant let anyone stop me, not even the person who sent me that horid text. After i spent twenty three minutes thinking over every single detail i got a major headache. I ran downstairs i get two Advil pills and swallow with water. When I get back to bed its 3:10. As im about to slip away for the night, i hear scraches and wining on my door. It was my crazy but yet loveable dog.

''Coco !!! Stop it, im tired.'' i half yell.

He stops scraching but keeps wining.

''Fine!! Only if your gonna stop.''

I pull myself up with every bit of energy and open the door. I see him sitting there with sad eyes, pleading me to let him in. I do and atomaticaly he jumps on my bed and waits for me to lay down. I leave the door open incase he wants to leave. He never does, thats what I love about him. He's always there for you when you need him or dont.

''Im going to sleep ok? So dont try to kill my pillows or anything.'' I lay down and he does too.

I put a hand over him and scratch his left ear. He faces me and starts liking my nose and forehead. I start to laugh under my breath and force him to stop.

''Good night Coco..'' I trail off.

I dont know when I pass out but when I do he is still there...

Its Sunday morning, and I dont have any homework so I wake up at three in the afternoon.

''Im going to take a walk in the woods for a little!'' i yelled to both of my parents. I didnt bother and wait til they said okay but i hear my dad just as I close the door behind me. I have my camera with me, I take pictures of the clearing in the middle of the woods, some birds, and of couse the sun. It was getting colder and colder every day, I shiver as the wind strokes my cheek. I look through some old photos on my camera, i almost start to cry when i see pictures of Aaron and me waching the sunset and making funny faces, and in others he even took pictures with Coco. I've missed him so much, its been so hard without him here. I shake off the feeling and start to take more pictures.

I hear something farther in the woods. Its not an animal, there's no bushes or any good trees for anything big to hide in. Its one of those woods thats really scarce but it survives just fine. Im not afraid though, so I pick up my pace to check it out. I let my camera hang around my neck now, I thought I saw something run past a group of trees. It was a guy who was wearing a jet black suit. I go back to taking pictures, he's probably that rich snoby kid from the far other side of the woods. I walk in the opposite direction knowing he was going to say something like ''Get off my property'' or ''What are you doing here??'' with a sour face. Ten minutes later of taking pictures and fooling around with Coco, I feel a very cold hand on my shoulder. I freeze completely and turn around to confront the snoby rich boy. The blood from my face drains and I could feel myself trembling. It was Aaron. Coco imedietly started barking but all together stoped and started sniffing him. After realizing who he was Coco my crazy bull terier started licking him and never stoped.

He petted Coco and rubed his tummy. Then he looked up at me.''What? You look like you've seen a ghost.'' he smiles

''I-i-i did...'' i feel myself about to fall. ''But, but your suposed to be dead ........Oh my god im going crazy.''

He chuckles like this is a huge game, ''KittyKatt.... i am dead, ive come back to help you but we dont have much time.'' He leaves Coco and hugs me tight, really tight and wispers ''I missed you.''

''I missed you too, Its been so hard without you and i wish you woud have never done this to yourself.'' I point down at his writs and the tears come rolling down. I sit down on a patch of grass and let coco lay down on my lap.

''Thats why im here, I never comited suside and for the record if I did you would be the first person to know, and the first dog of couse. Someone murdered me and you have to uncover it.'' he says very serious, too serious.

He half-disapears with the wind.

''Where are you going ?!'' i almost shout.

''Dont give up on me Katt, your the only one with Coco who can help and see me.'' a single tear rolls down his amazing hazlenut-brown eyes.

''I never will, Arow.'' I havent called him that in so long.

He smiles slightly as a tear rolls down his amazing hazlenut eyes then disapeared completely.

Ive had enough of the woods I start to walk away, with Coco at my side when a peice of paper stops me.

I read outloud ''Im going to get you, one way or another. -V''

I look franticly around the woods. No one ever goes in here and there is never anything here. No trash, no loose papers, and no nothing. Even though it dosen't say my name, I know its for me. I hear a twig break and i jolt back in the direction of the noise. Coco gets in front of me, to protect, and starts growling. Thats never a good sign. After a minute of studying the group of trees, a chill crawls up my spine. We run out of the woods grabing my camera and taking the paper with me. When we get inside I lock the back and front doors, all the windows, and run upstairs. I run up to my room breathless. Coco laid next to me on bed looking at me with warm eyes. He yawns, as if the whole expirience got him breathless instead of me.

Now someone wanted me dead... It was only the begining of the hunt.
