AN-Okay, so because I know I forgot it in the last chapter because I was sooo tired, Jane did include her phone number in the letter she left Maura. I apologize for my utter exhaustion. Continuing on, however. I really hope you don't hate me for some of the things that happen in this chapter...

Oh, and disclaimer: I do not own any characters in this story.


It was a few months after Jane and Maura met, and they had talked on the phone almost every night since then, and had gone places together a few times, at least once a week, often more. They became best friends quickly, telling each other some of their darkest secrets, but only under the cover of darkness, when they had sleepovers. These also happened often. But then, one night, everything changed.

***Jane***

I was on my way to Maura's house. As I drove, I thought. I thought about our friendship. And about how I wanted to be more then "just friends." And of course she was blissfully unaware. I sighed.

As I pulled up into the driveway, I watched the front door open, and Maura stood there, waiting for me. I got out of the car and took a deep breath, steeling myself for another night that would be fun, but excruciating boring, partly because we would watch a movie of Maura's, and they were always educational. And we would actually be watching the movie. Which was definitely not what I wanted. I walked into the house, preparing myself. What I didn't know was it was going to be the craziest night of my life.


We had watched the movie, which turned out to be some movie about the earth and animals. I couldn't even tell you the name of the movie, much less what was in it. The only thing I knew was that it had penguins in it. And that was only because Maura said something about how interesting their mating patterns were.

However, it wasn't their mating patterns I was interested in.

Now we were lying in Maura's impossibly soft bed. Her fluffy, oversized pillows trying to lull me to sleep. However, I couldn't go to sleep, because Maura was talking. She was talking about the movie, so I obviously had no idea what she was talking about, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter how boring she was. Her voice was the most beautiful one that I had ever heard. Then it happened.

She stopped talking midsentence, which was strange, because when she started going Google on me, she usually didn't stop unless I interrupted her. She got up, and started walking across the room. I sat up as she turned on the light switch, and turned to look at me.

"I need to go do something. Stay here. Whatever you hear, whatever happens, do not follow me. If I come in here, especially if something bad happens when I come in, run."

She turned to leave the room quickly, but she didn't make it. She stopped and shuddered. Then again, it wasn't as much a shudder than as if her body had become chilled and she was trying to shake it off.

Then she turned around.

When I looked into her eyes, I felt something I had only felt once before. I felt pure fear.


***Maura***

I watched Jane's car pull up, and opened the door, waiting for her. I stood as she got out of the car, a peculiar look on her face. Then she shook it off and walked over, smiling. I hugged her, and we walked in to eat dinner. I cooked and she watched the TV, the beer that I had started buying for her in her hand. She wouldn't even put it in a glass! It was still in the bottle! I sighed, shaking my head. I would never completely understand her.

After dinner, I washed the dishes, the put on Planet Earth. It never ceased to fascinate me, the wonders that the planet we live on contained. I watched, loving every second of it. At one point I made a comment to Jane about penguins, and I believe that was the only time she actually payed attention. Even then, she didn't take her eyes off of me for more then a few seconds before she had focused on me again. She didn't notice that I knew that she was looking at me, but it was hard not to know. She wasn't being very subtle about it.

After the movie we went up to bed. As we were lying there, I was talking about the movie. Of course, I knew she had no idea what I was talking about, but I couldn't help myself. Then I felt it. I felt her. I felt her presence, coming towards me.

I knew Jane couldn't see me like this.

I got up and walked towards the door. I flicked on the light, then went to leave. Then I thought of something. I turned.

"I need to go do something," I began, "Stay here. Whatever you hear, whatever happens, do not follow me. If I come in here, especially if something bad happens when I come in, run." I finished the rushed warning and sucked in air. I turned to leave the room, but it was too late.

She was here.


AN- I think ya'll need to know how much I love you guys. I wrote most of this chapter last night, and then it disappeared. I had been working on it FOREVER. At that point it was like 9:00 at night and I was falling asleep at my computer screen. But no matter how much I just wanted to delete this story from my frustration, I stayed up for another hour and a half writing it over again.

Love it, appreciate it, review it! I couldn't help but be mean about the ending, but I promise I love you!
