Your reviews make me so happy you have no idea :)

As I'm laying in bed thinking about the past 24 hours, I can't help but think about my parents, friends, family, even Rachel. All of them are in danger and I can't help but reflect on my life and try to figure out a reason why I deserve this. I have always been a person of faith. I believe in heaven, God, an afterlife with friends and family, but where there is a heaven, there is a hell, and I believe that I have just been cast straight down into it.

My life has been completely average up until this point. Annoying parents, drama filled days at high school, going out with friends. Now I have to figure out how to end this. If anything even happens.

Of course something is going to happen. He wouldn't have gone through all that trouble for nothing. But I don't even know where or how to get a hold of him. All he left me is that letter.

The letter...

Maybe there was an address, number...something! I run to my desk where I left it and searched the envelope on the front and the back. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Of course there's nothing. He wrote it at the place it was to be delivered to.

So with that thought I huff and fall face first onto my bed. The only choice I have is to wait. For what, I don't exactly know.

My stomach starts to rumble and only then do I realize I haven't eaten anything since lunch yesterday at Rachel's house. So I go back downstairs into the kitchen and pull out some leftover chicken from my last meal at home. As I'm sitting at the counter shoveling food into my mouth like a starving dog, I notice the light blinking on the answering machine. I press the button and listen to the message from my mom.

"Hey sweety! I know it's early and you're probably asleep but I just wanted to let you know that me and your father won't be getting home until Wednesday night. We went gambling and won enough money to pay for an extra 3 days at the resort. We decided that you are capable of taking care of yourself and should be fine for a few more days. I'm sure you will be fine with this considering you've been having this 'independent' streak lately. Anyway I have to go. Don't wanna miss the breakfast buffet. You know how much your father loves those. Call us whenever you get the chance. Your father and I love you honey. Be safe."

Great. The one time when I actually could use help from my parents, they won't be here. Now I'm completely alone for 3 more days. Hmmph.

After I changed into a pair of jeans (I decided the black shirt looked okay) I watch basically anything to get my mind off things for the next couple of hours. When I next look at the clock it says 8:30. It's getting dark outside and I realize that I don't have any dinner or lunch for tomorrow at school. So I decide what better way to get my mind off of things than to go to the store. Right . I walk outside and it looks like it's going to rain but I really don't care. If rain is the worst thing that happens today, so be it.

After about a 15 minute ride to the nearest grocery store I park my car and go inside. I have no idea what I want, nor am I really giving it much thought. I'm just going down isles looking for things that are edible and might have flavor. After checking out and letting the bag boy load it into my car (By the way, he was seriously flirting with me. Not that I'm complaining.), I begin my 15 minute drive back home. The only thing, is that It's dark and I have to drive on the same highway I got ditched on yesterday. I managed to not think about it and just listen to the radio on the way to the store, but now there isn't one song I like playing and it's raining so I have to focus on the road. As I round one of the many corners on the winding highway, I see blue and red lights flashing up ahead of me. I am stopped by police officer with an umbrella who is blocking the road. It looked like there was a wreck but I really can't see to clearly because of the rain. All I know is it's probably bad considering all the police cars, the ambulance, and the fire truck.

The officer comes to my window and signals for me to roll the window down.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but there has been a accident and this road is going to be blocked off for a while. There is a road up ahead the opposite way that you can take to reach the end of this road." Really? That's like another 20 minutes added to my travel time.

"Okay, I'll just use that way. Thank you." The officer walks away and goes to talk to another officer. The rain calms down and that's when I really get a good look at the accident. A blue Honda Civic is completely flipped over and looks so mangled it's hardly recognizable. Unless you've seen it a billion times before, and it just so happens to be the same car you were kicked out of 24 hours ago.

Rachel!

I jump out of my car and start racing toward the car screaming.

"Rachel?! RACHEL!" All of a sudden I was being held back by the same police officer that stopped me earlier.

"Ma'am you can't go over there!"

"The hell I can!" I step on his foot hard and he yells out in pain, loosening his grip. I take this opportunity to shove him off and run to the car. I run to the driver's side and am shocked to what I find.

There is blood everywhere, but no Rachel. I'm frozen. I can't breathe. But...I just saw her this morning. How could this have happened? Another officer comes up behind me and lays his hand on my shoulder.

"Miss? I'm sorry but you're going to have to leave." I swirl around and look him straight in the eyes.

"What happened to Rachel?" I barely choke out the words. The Officer gives me a sympathetic look.

"She's been taken to the hospital. She was alive when we found her but is in pretty bad shape. Hey, are you alright. I can call your parents to come pick you up."

"No." I blurt out. "I mean, I'm fine. Really. I'll just go." The officer gives me a disapproving look but doesn't argue.

"Alright, if you say so. But be careful." I turn to leave.

When I reach my car I look back at the accident. Poor Rachel. I'm about to get in the car when I hear something in the woods. I look harder but can't see anything so I go to get a closer look.

I wander off the road and go to the edge of the woods. I'm peering into the darkness trying to find the source of the noise. That's when I see something I prayed I would never see again. Red eyes. Not just any red eyes. His.

Aro is staring directly at me and although I can't see his face, I know he is enjoying himself. He did this! He hurt Rachel! Bastard.

I'm filled with so much anger and sadness and confusion I can't even stand upright. I fall on my hands and knees. I'm looking straight down at the ground, my hair falling in front of my face. "why?" My voice is filled with so much anguish I don't recognized it anymore. Tears start streaming down my face as I hear him approaching. I look back and try to find the voice to call to the officers not even 200 yards away. But it's so dark for them to really even notice the dark figures in the distance and they are occupied with cleaning up the mess anyway. This isn't fair. They're so close.

I desperately try to find the strength to stand but it's no use. He's getting closer and I start to crawl backwards trying to get away. He only quickens his pace and suddenly he reaches down and grabs my ankle, pulling me toward him.. No. I give out a small yelp but not loud enough to alert anyone.

My breathes are shallow and fast. My heart is going to beat right out of my chest, I just know it. His face draws near and I'm frozen yet again. But this time it's out of pure fear. His eyes are blazing straight into mine and it's all I can do to try to keep myself together. Then he speaks.

"Why? I believe you know the answer to that, my dear. It was all in the letter I left for you." He says it so casually, like we are talking about the weather. I'm so screwed. Oh God just let my death be fast.

After I don't respond for a while, he lets his fingers graze the side of my face, just like when we first met. He gives me a soft smile.

"I do not wish to harm you. I just want to talk for a while. Is that so much to ask?" The way he asks is so innocent you wouldn't think he just caused someone to go to the hospital with possible fatal injuries. It's too much. My mind goes into overdrive and I'm speaking before I can even process what I'm saying.

"Talk?! You just want to talk?! No. You hurt Rachel. She had nothing to do with this!" I'm breathing harder now. There was so much anger behind my words, an angry Japanese man would sound calm. I surly thought he would hurt me after my outburst but he just smiled.

"She doesn't? Oh but I believe that this entire ordeal is her fault. She did leave you stranded on the side of the road, causing you to wander into the woods and directly into my path, did she not?" My eyes grow wide. How does he know that? Okay, calm down Kayla and try to find a way to respond that won't get you killed.

"H-how did you know that?" I asked, my voice quivering.

"All in good time, little one, all in good time. Now about my request..." I cut him off.

"Fuck you and your request! I'm never going to go anywhere with you! You're a crazy, homicidal freak. Whatever game you're playing, I'm putting a stop to it RIGHT NOW." Why did I say that? Not smart Kayla. Not smart.

Apparently my little tantrum caught the attention of one of the police officers in the distance because he turned and look in our direction. He started to make his way over but you could tell he was struggling to see what was there. Aro grabbed me by my hair and yanked my head towards him. I could feel his lips grazing the outer part of my ear, he was so close.

"Oh, mia cara, the game has just begun." The way he whispered it so softly sent shivers down my spine. He stood all the way up, hovering over me, and before I could blink, he was gone.

"Ma'am? Ma'am are you alright?" I guess the police officer finally noticed that a girl was just sitting on the ground next to the woods. Where were you 5 minutes ago? I stood up and it took me a moment to steady myself.

"Y-yes, I-I'm f-fine." That sounded believable. He just gave me a funny look but I didn't want to talk anymore. I walked swiftly passed him to my car. As soon as the flashing lights were out of my sight in the rearview mirror, I let out a pained scream.

This can't be happening. What does he want?

Tears stream down my face the rest of the ride home. When I pull into my driveway, I bolt inside the house and up to my room. I grab the letter off my nightstand and rip it into a million pieces. After I throw it into my trash can, I immediately jump into my bed, close my eyes, and try to forget about everything.

Before I know it, I am taken away into the most unrest full sleep of my life.
