Going through my pictures, I went to the one that I had just taken, and the phone slowly slipped out of my grasp. What had escaped my notice before is that the couch I had taken the picture on was against a window, which showed the backyard of the house. But in this picture, it wasn't an empty backyard. No, behind my smiling face was another one, outside the window. It was his face. Covered with a black ski mask, watching me. *** All 19-year-old Layna wanted to do was forget about the guy that broke her heart, and move on with her new boyfriend Brian. But instead, she unwittingly attracted the attention of a stalker. Someone who had been watching her every move for a month, plotting and planning for the perfect moment when he could take her.

The one they failed, and payed heavily for. Will she pass The Test or will she die like the others?

Honey. So nannte er mich. Ein Junge, der meine Augen geöffnet hat. Ein Dankeschön würde nicht ausreichen für die Taten die er gemacht hat. Ich habe durch ihm die echte Welt gesehen. Davor war ich so blind. Aber jetzt. Jetzt sehe ich alles. Und er schaute mich so anders an. Bis heute, kann ich diese Blicke nicht erklären. Sie waren so interessant, magisch und verführerisch. Er war etwas besonderes. Sowas habe ich noch nie gesehen. Einen...einen wie ihn. Honey. „You will find someone who can hold you with their eyes just their eyes and you will know what it feels like..." „To be loved.", sagten wir gleichzeitig. Er war wie ein Traum für mich und ich wollte nicht aufwachen. Bitte weck mich nicht auf. „Kannst du mir einen Gefallen tun?", fragte er mich. Leichter Wind wehte. „Bitte gib mich nicht auf.", er hatte glasige Augen. Honey.

You just have to look a little deeper.❞ ❝Uh huh,❞ I say, nodding like I'm not curious about what he means. ❝Care to elaborate?❞ He smirks. ❝Well, on the surface, we've got Sinderella, Au-whore-ra, Sno-ho White-❞ ❝Dude.
