she was scared, no terrified she knew something was going to happen it was only a matter of time. A matter of when. She saw something she shouldn't have and when she went to go tell someone she was stopped. Stopped by the threat they presented to her written on a small piece of paper.
"you tell anyone and were gonna do worse. Not to you but to everyone else so you can know it was all your fault."
It was Wednesday and it has been exactly 3 days. 3 days since her life has changed. 3 days since she was no longer safe. Alexis Castle knew it was only a matter of time before they came for her they weren't going to leave her alone after all she was a witness, a loose end and they couldn't risk it. Risk her telling her dad or her dad's cop buddies. No they were coming for her. She was gonna be ready she was going to be smart. The only thing she knew how to be was smart and she was going to use it to her advantage.
It was 12:30 in the afternoon and there had been a body drop. Her and Lanie were the first on the scene just like always. When they reached the body Alexis saw who it was. It was the girl from 3 days ago. The girl who screamed out for help but Alexis couldn't do anything but run as one of the guys chased her down the street. She could've helped, but she ran.
It was one of those fight or flight moments you hear so much about.
"Hey Alexis you alright girl ?" Lanie asked across the body. The beaten body.
I can't but think if she still felt it near the end of her time. Whether she went numb or they took mercy on Germany ans gave her something to take the pain away but then I realized.
That's going to be me soon.
And then I had a horribly morbid thought.
I wonder if it's going to be like hers. Long and slow or quick and simple.
"I'm fine" I said as I gave her my usual happy smile.
That was my first lie
