"Danielle, listen to me. There is something wrong with him. He's acting as if his best friend of 12 years didn't just die." Amber tells me with worried eyes.

"He's in shock. What do you expect? They had been in each others lives for so long that he probably doesn't know how to act without him. It probably doesn't even feel real to him yet, like he's just waiting to get a call from Ryan to come hang out. Give it time." I explain to her.

"That's not it though. Ben's really happy now, I don't think I've ever seen him happier. He's had a smile on his face since Ryan died. He doesn't look shocked in the slightest. He looks as if the best thing in the world has happened to him. But before Ryan died," She pauses and looks around, "Ben kept talking about a nightmare he had. He said that the thing in his nightmare was following him, even when he was awake, and now when I bring it up, he says he has no idea what I'm talking about." She takes a shaky breath and tears fill her eyes.

"That's not even the worst part though." She looked behind me and the tears fell down her face. "The worst part, is that I think I'm seeing it too."

THIS STORY WILL BECOME FREE ON MARCH 21, 2024! ***** 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.
