You know I can't do this on my own.
Don't let me drown.
I can't take one more moment of this silence.
The loneliness is haunting me.
It comes in waves and I close my eyes. I hold my breath and let it bury me but i'm not okay.
What doesn't destroy you, leaves you broken instead.
What doesn't kill you, makes you want to die.

I just want to protect her, he wants to protect me, and she can't protect herself. So who will protect him?
He's as good as dead already so it doesn't matter.

I am faced with some options:
One; take my sister and leave again, try to survive for as long as we can.
Two; stay and protect everyone but risk everything.
Three; take myself and my sister, eliminate the leverage.

But I think i'll take my own path this time...

Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of. Content and/or trigger warning: This story contains detailed scenes of murder, rape, torture, sex and stalking, which may be triggering for some readers. [[word count: 80,000-90,000 words]]
