Ty had left me alone for the remainder of the week. I was grateful for that. Lately everyone's been making me feel guilty. I feel bad because I won't give Ty another chance. The expression on his face has been painful. Ryan has been jealous. I think he likes me, but I don't think of him in that way. I'm upset with myself for fighting with Emmett a lot. We haven't been comunicating well recently. I haven't metioned Ty to Collin or Emmett.

Everynight I've had the same dream. I'm running away from a figure, but he always ends up catching me. I wake up with bruises and a swollen neck. I'm afraid to fall asleep. I know these dreams are real. If I tell my brother he most likely won't believe me. I haven't gone to woods since I first explored it. I feel like I know the guy in my dreams. His voice sounds so fimilar.

I'm in the bath now. No matter how hot I had the water I was still cold. I decided to just give up. Emmett and Collin are at work. Most of the time they're gone. I would feel safer with them here. Even though I have everything locked up, I still felt unsure. I changed into sweats and unpacked the remaining boxes. After that I worked on my homework. I got the feeling someone was watching me. I searched through the house, but saw nothing. When I got back to my room I heard a bang. My heart sped up. I heard footsteps downstairs. Quietly I went in my room. I looked at the window. Emmett's care wasn't in the driveway, but somebody else's was. I heard footsteps coming upstairs. I ran to my bathroom, locked the door, and climbed out the window. I didn't want to go in the forest, but had no choice.

I didn't have any shoes on, so walking was painful. I felt a little safer once I couldn't see the house anymore. I wonder who was there. What if it was that guy from my dreams? I got the feeling it was. Maybe going in the woods was a bad idea. Trying to find my way back was painful. I fell a few times. When I got back the car was gone. I was relieved until I heard a snap. I spun around to see Ty.

"What are you doing here?" I took a step back. I was shaking. How did he find out where I lived?

"Looking for you." He took a step forward. I took another one back.

"Why?"

"Your brother's not here," He ignored my question. He took another step forward. I took steps back toward the front door. My hand was on the handle.

"He's here," I lied.

"No one's here, but you." Ty saw right through my lie. Then, it came to me. No wonder the figure's voice was so fimilar it was Ty all along. I flung open the door and slammed it shut. I locked both locks.

"Avari, I really don't have time for this," He groaned.

"What do you want?"

"You."

I ran upstairs to get my phone. I pick it up trying to dial 911. I was shaking so bad I had to redial a few times.

"911- What's your emergency?"

"There's-" The phone was snatched from my hands. I turn around to see Ty shut the phone off.

"That was stupid, you know." He started advancing. There was no way to get out. He was blocking the door. I backed up against the wall.

"Stay away," I warned.

"Why would I want to do that?" I picked up my clock and threw it at him. He caught it. "That wasn't very nice."

"Emmett's going to be home any minute."

"He's busy right now, so he won't be back for a while." He took my wrists and pinned them against the wall.

"Why do you want me?" I whispered.

"I need a bride and you're the perfect choice for it." I struggled to get away. "Stop being stubborn. We can do this the easy way or the hard way." I continued to struggle. "This will be easy for both of us if you stop being so stubborn."

"Please stop," I begged.

"Don't be afraid." Ty started to stroke my face. "It won't be like before." He grabbed my upper arm and dragged me down the stairs.

"No, please." I tried grabbing on to something. Ty got angry and pulled me to him.

I felt his cool breath. He started kissing my neck. I felt fangs graze along my skin. I whimperd. I knew what was about to happen. I made one last attempt to get away when I felt fangs plunge in my neck. I could feel blood flowing out. Soon I fell limp. Ty held me tight against him still tasting my blood. I struggled to stay conscious. My eyes felt heavy. I soon saw darkness.
