Patricia POV

Ugh, I'm sitting in Mr. Sweet's room serving detention. I only have about 5 minutes left, but I feel like I've been sitting here for weeks. Eddie is being extremely over-bearing since my nightmare yesterday, especially after this morning. He kept insisting that he would be waiting outside of the school for me at 5:00 when my detention ended, but I eventually convinced him I was capable of walking back to the house without an escort.

"Alright, you're free to go Miss. Williamson. I'll see you here again tomorrow." Mr. Sweet says.

"Can't wait." I say sarcastically.

I get up and practically run outside. It's already pretty dark outside which made me even more anxious to get back to the house. I've been really jumpy from all those dumb dreams.

Then I hear a twig snap in the woods. I whip around, eyes wide.

"Hello?" I call out. No response.

I shrug and turn around, about to continue my walk, but instead I come face-to-face with Rufus.

I gasp and trip backwards, stunned by his appearance.

"Hello Patricia. Nice to see you again." He gives me a folksy smile.

"No, you're dead." I stammer, still on the ground.

"Really? Then how can I do this?" He asks before kicking me in the gut.

I groan in pain. How am I supposed to escape him? There has to be a way.

"Now you're going to come with me. And you're not going to say a word." He says, dragging me off of the ground.

"Really? What makes you so sure of that?" I glare at him.

"Because you wouldn't want me to take blondie with us, now would you?" He asks.

"No. Stay away from Eddie." I say, my jaw clenched at the mere thought of Rufus with Eddie.

"Smart girl. Now let's go." He says, dragging me to his all too familiar red van.

Eddie POV

"C'mon Yacker. Pick up." I mumble dialing her number again, only to have it go straight to voice mail. I groan loudly, it's now 5:30, she should have come back by now!

"What's wrong? Trixie stood you up?" Jerome teases.

"This isn't funny! She got out of detention at 5:00, but she's still not back! What if something happened to her?" I say worried.

"What could have possibly happened?" Jerome says, rolling his eyes at me.

"What if Rufus is back?" I look at him. He freezes when I say the name.

"Why would you say that?"

"That's what her nightmare was about yesterday, and this morning she seemed kinda...freaked." I say, not sure what word to use.

"No, that's not possible." He mumbles, running his hand through his hair.

"What's not possible?" I ask.

"It's just, I've been dreaming about him too and last night I dreamed he came back." He confesses.

"What do you mean he came back?" I ask beginning to panic.

"I saw Miss. Denby, except she was in some creepy dark room. She had Rufus' body laid out on a table and she was performing some weird ceremony and she put a ring on his finger. Then his eyes opened and I woke up." He says, starting to pace in front of the couch.

"No, please no." I say, dialing her number again.

Uh oh...Things aren't looking too good for Patricia! I also noticed someone asked for more Jerome in this and I was thinking about adding him in a lot for this since it's Rufus and he has more experience with Rufus than the others. HOA tomorrow! Yay! Loving all of the awesome reviews! I'll try to update tomorrow, byeeeeee!:D
