The party was okay, just like any other party. Alex got Drunk, and me and Matt had to take her home.

When we got to the beginning of the driveway, Matt ran to the dock to go back on his boat. I just walked Alex to the door, and helped her up the stairs.

"Anna, you know you don't have to keep doing this. I don't need someone to hold my hand when I come home from a party." Alex said. "Well maybe if you would just stop doing this than I wouldn't have to. You know Dad's rules Alex. Goodnight." "Ciao."

As I walked out of her room, I heard a sharp noise coming from downstairs. I started walking toward the sound, I was on the last stair when a creak came from me stepping on it. I heard something run. So I ran to the kitchen, I picked up a metal frying pan in one hand, and walked toward the family room. I must have been getting closer, because I heard a loud door slam, it lead to the basement. If I was going to be killed, it would happen down there. It was so dark, even with lights. But I opened the door, ready to throw the pan at someone's face. I walked slowly and cautiously down each step, waiting for someone to jump out with a knife. It was silent.

"Anna?" A familiar voice said in the dark room. "Whoever you are, I will call the cops if you don't leave right now. I will hurt you." "Anna, no need." All of a sudden Rachel stepped out of the darkness. She was holding that pearl necklace. "Rachel? What are you doing down here? And why did you run away?" she walked toward the stairs "Let this be our little secret, okay Anna?" "Whatever."

Did she honestly think I wasn't going to tell anyone about this? I certainly would not tell dad. He had enough to deal with, writing his new book, and with his new sneaky girlfriend. I would tell Alex, she's the only one I trust not to tell dad.

I sat at the table waiting for Alex to come out to go meet Matt at the rock. "Anna, would you just chill?" "No I cannot chill. I need to speak to you immediately." "If this is about Matt problems, I swear that I will just backhand you were you stand." I just kept on walking.

Matt was there already and we managed to get up as well.

Of course Alex dropped directly to the ground into a sitting position, and Matt, looked at me worried.

"Guys, its about Rachel."
