What has gotten into him,lately? I appreciate his presence from afar, very far in that matter. "I am doing what I should have done from the very start, little dove. You are mine and I will show you who you belong to. I will show you who you are going to submit to. Me. Did you hear that? ME!" "The only thing that I am going to do is punch you in the face!" With that, I bend my right knee to kick him in the shin. Suddenly his hand grabs my right thigh, halting my kick. "Not again, fighter. You are not going to back down without a fight,uh?" Instead of waiting for my reply he continues whispering in my ear. "I am going to give you a fight. One hell of a fight, at the end of which I am going to come out victorious. And do you know what price I will get?" Narrowing my eyes, I look up at him to find him looking down at me intensely. Inching his face closer to mine, he shakes the ground that I am standing on with just three words. "Your frozen heart." And to seal the deal, his lips capture mine in a promise kiss. •°•°•°•

I decided to walk over to my best friend's house, and once I got closer her driveway, I could see the door was left ajar. Rita probably left it open for me, I thought, while shaking my head disapprovingly. Then as I entered the door, my mouth open to announce my presence, I was hit by an odor indescribable, but deep down I knew what it was. Anyone could definitely recognize the smell. At first I hesitated with my food hovering over the the threshold. Then I took a deep breath and swallowed it; finally I walked forward as cold fear chilled my heart and the contents of my stomach rose to my throat... Have you ever had the feeling that you were being watched? Maybe while you were alone or after watching a scary movie? How about all the time: in school, walking around the neighborhood, in your room, or in the dark? Lately, Shayla has been having these same feelings of being watched. Little did she know it was true until a strange boy began showing up, until strange events began happening, until her loved ones became a target, until it was too late.
