Chapter 18 The Chase

Kate's P.O.V.

When Humphrey left me alone to go find Winter, I was disappointed and upset. I didn't get to tell him the most important thing I've ever said to anyone to walk this planet. I'm sure we're probably both not ready for this yet, but I have to know how he'll react and respond. But it seems like there's always some random distraction. Maybe that's a sign not to go there just yet, even though I want to with a strong alluring passion. He deserves every second of it from all the sweet and kind things he did for me. Boredom was entering my system and I wondered to my friends to see what they're up to. Probably weird conversations as usual, nothing really eye shocking. The cafeteria was a few from empty because lunch was almost over. And my friends were sitting at the lunch tables in the same old spots chatting. I walked over to them downhearted and sat down with a small sigh.

"Hey guys" I said with disconcert.

"What's wrong with you?" Candy asked.

"Nothing" I said rubbing my eye from a sudden burn.

"Are those tears?...did Humphrey do something to you?" Candy asked worried for me.

"No, there was something in my eyes" I said.

"Then what's the problem?" Sweets asked.

"There isn't one I'm just ready to go home...I've been here long enough" I said sighing moving my hair out my face, tucking it behind my ear.

"That's a first, thought you loved school" Sweets said.

"I do but, just not today" I said.

"Then tell us what happened" Candy said.

"Why you care so much?" I asked annoyed.

"Well sorry for just trying to be a good friend...but if Humphrey ditched you he went to go help Drake find Winter….so you guys should totally break up and he'll be mine" Candy said mumbling that last part drinking a bottle of water.

"What?" I asked making sure I heard right.

"He went to go find Winter with Drake" Candy repeated again differently.

"How do you know that?" I asked concerned.

"Because they came over here earlier and asked if we seen her" Candy said.

"Did you know that already?" Sweets asked.

"Yeah, she might be in real trouble" I said gluing the pieces together in my mind.

"I doubt it, they've probably found her by now" Candy said.

"Key word, probably, it's unlikely for her to go somewhere and never come back" I said thinking hard.

"She's done that plenty of times" Candy said.

"Name one time" I said with an facial expression you give the cashier when they put one sauce in your bag when you ordered twenty piece chicken nuggets.

"Like, umm, when, sheee…I can't think of one off the top but I know she has before...I'm sure she's fine…but if something did happen to her I'm sorta glad it did because she still haven't gave me my five bucks she owe me" Candy said pouting childishly. I shook my head at her stupidity and grabbed my things.

"Where are you going?...class don't start until five minutes" Sweets said checking her watch.

"Thanks for the heads up...I have to go find my friend because you guys don't care enough" I said glaring at Candy.

"See what happened is I do care but...I'm too lazy so...yeah" Candy said drinking her bottled water.

"But she's your friend you knew her like forever...think about all the things she did for you and this how you repay her?" I asked irritated with her decision to not look for her friend, or even put up a small effort to find her.

"Kate, deep deep deep deep down inside I care and would eat a thousand cactuses if that's what I need to do to see her again...but personally I just don't feel like it from this medical condition called laziness" Candy said drinking the bottled water again.

"I'll say the same thing when one day you're mysteriously hanging from a cliff crying for help" I said bluntly walking to where I think she would've went.

"Wow that's some dark humor for ya" Sweets jokes.

"Probably lost a friend in the process..." Candy said shrugging it off.

"Two friends!" I shouted back at her.

"She went the other way you know" Sweets said and I immediately turned around.

"I knew that" I said walking the other direction hiding the obvious.

I fled out the cafeteria and walked alongside the hallways looking for some type of clues where she would be. Also to some students she may have talked to before Sweets and Candy the no fucks given twin sisters. Not many wolves were in the hall that I've found familiar who's friends with Winter, this might be harder than I thought. There's no way I am finding her before the bell rings. Hope was lost early before I saw one of her friends Vanessa by the soda machine. I trotted over to her and lightly tapped on her shoulder that was revealed from a cute tank top. When she turned around I was greeted with a smile.

"Oh hey Kate" Vanessa said cheerfully.

"Hey Vanessa, and I looovvve your tank top where you get it?" I asked admiring how good it looks on her.

"Thanks I got it at Hot Topic from the mall...my brother works there so it's was half off for me" Vanessa said giggling.

"You think he can give me an discount or something?..because I would really want one" I said feeling the soft silk that was around the shoulder area.

"Yeah sure like Allstate you're in good hands" Vanessa giggled.

"Haha thanks" I laughed.

"No problem" Vanessa said grabbing her orange Fanta out the machine. "Why does everyone love oranges?...they're so disgusting" I thought.

"I meant to come over to ask you if you've seen Winter anywhere?" I asked.

"Umm, I don't think I seen her since the beginning of lunch…but I saw her going to the restroom though" Vanessa said.

"Which one exactly?" I asked.

"That one" Vanessa pointed down the hall. I took a look at it for a second, before turning back to her.

"Thanks" I said smiling walking to the bathroom until she stopped me.

"Wait, is there something wrong?" Vanessa asked.

"I don't know yet, Winter just went disappeared…everyone saw her the beginning of lunch but no one saw her between the lunch period" I said.

"How mysterious" Vanessa said thinking hard about something.

"I know right this isn't Winter...she usually hangs out with Drake lunch period but he couldn't find her" I said.

"She could be in trouble" Vanessa said.

"That's why I'm trying to find out where she went" I said determined.

*Bell Rings*

"Shit" I mumbled with a sigh.

"We're just thinking conclusions right now but maybe she'll pop up later today you never know" Vanessa said.

"Yeah maybe...but thanks again" I said smiling.

"It's nothing she's my friend too" Vanessa said smiling.

"That's not what I was thanking you for but thanks for that too" I said giggling.

"What were you thanking me for?" Vanessa asked.

"The cute tank top discount" I said giggling.

"Oh yeah, right haha" Vanessa laughed.

"I'll see you later" I said walking away with a smirk.

"See ya later Kate" Vanessa said as we went our different ways.

My next class was an computer class and today we were getting new assigned seats. I really hoped the teacher doesn't sit me next to the most hated she-wolf in the country, Stephanie. Somehow I was the first one in class and I sat down by myself next to the window in the sun because it was cold. Everyone made their way one by one in class sitting in any seat they desired by their friends. Meanwhile I tried to text and call Winter but it went straight to her voice mail. The tardy bell rung and Ms Clough closed the door behind her locking it.

"Okay class welcome to business information and today I'll give you guys assigned seats because it's way too much talking in here" Ms Clough said picking up a binder.

"But first let's go over some rules because it seems like some of you forgot" Ms Clough said moving Brian legs off the desk.

"Thank you" Ms Clough said smiling at him sarcastically.

"First off, there's no eating or drinking by any of the computers...if I catch you with any beverage or food that's an automatic detection...second do not ask me to go to the restroom unless you have a medical problem then the answer is no after the tardy bell rings...third I want no backpacks, binders, folders, or whatever at your computer because this is an computer class so you really don't need them...last and final I don't want to see any cellular devices or any type of electronics or that's an automatic detection...everyone clear on that?" Ms Clough looked around for any questions.

"I got a question?" Someone said raising his hand.

"What's up hun?" Ms Clough asked.

"How long are we in this class?...and do we need it to graduate?" Brian asked.

"You're in here for 45 minutes and you can ask the second question to your counselor...any more questions?" Ms Clough asked looking around to see no hands.

"Great" Ms Clough said opening her binder.

"Ughh I hate this class already" I mumbled sighing.

Ms Clough went down the roll and sat everyone in their assigned seats and I waited patiently. It's not like I had a choice anyway, my last name is in the W's so I'm always last. When the W's were revealed, I was already sitting where I wanted to be. I'm probably the only girl in the world that love window seats. I'll probably would be the first one to die if there was a tornado; but the first one to live if zombies barge into the classroom. Shit, I'll never bust a window open so quick in my life. Thinking of zombies I hope they eat Stephanie first, that would be awesome to watch.

"Stephanie William?" Ms Clough called out. Snapping me out my daydreaming of nonsense. "We have similar last names?...Ugh I NEED to marry Humphrey now" I thought.

"Stephanie William?...is she here?" Ms Clough asked, getting no response.

"Guess not" Ms Clough said marking something in her binder. "Is it in unusual for her to skip class like that?...this is weird she's gone and Winter" I thought.

"Where are they?" I asked myself out loud by accident gaining everyone's attention.

"Excuse me?" Ms Clough asked thinking I was talking to her

"Oh no sorry just thinking out loud" I explained with blushing cheeks.


2 Minutes Earlier...


Humphrey's P.O.V.

I was shocked of all the pictures he had of Kate and the dirty plots he was setting up. But I didn't see one of Winter and I wasn't sure if he had anything to do with this. Until I heard a phone ring in his pocket.

"Who's that?" Drake asked looking at Garth.

"Yo mama" Garth said smirking.

"Lies, she's dead" Drake said checking his pockets taking out an slightly bloody IPhone.

"Shit, this is Winter's phone...and Kate's calling her" Drake explained showing it to me.

"Damn dude, her Hotline is Blinging" I joked.

"Stop with the Drake jokes man it's getting old" Drake said annoyed.

"Sorry bad time" I said admitting it.

Garth took this chance, and punched Drake off of him running to his car. Let's say, he went zero to one hundred real quick.

"Drake come on get up he's getting away" I said helping him up.

"Fuck me go after him!" Drake shouted with blood running down his nose. Still trying to recover from the massive punch he gave him.

"But first what planet we on?" I asked him.

"What kind of dumbass question is that?...we're on Pluto" Drake said angrily wiping his nose.

"Fuck Garth knocked your ass all the way to Pluto" I said smirking.

I took off after Garth but he was a long distance away and there's a chance I wouldn't get him in time. A car happened to drive across the street while Garth was running and he had to change direction. The car blew it's horn and flicked him off sorta like what a pedestrian do in Grand Theft Auto. He ran back into school because that was the quickest route escaped from me now.

"Get back here Garth!...don't run from this ass whooping!" I shouted chasing him in school.

We ran down the halls taking sharp turns and avoiding walking students and teachers. Who all yelled for us to stop running like a bunch of elementary pups. Garth drifted around another corner and knocked my sister books and papers all over the floor on purpose.

"Hey you jerk!" Apple said upset trying to throw her water bottle at him missing completely. "She can't aim to save her life...that's my sister though you gotta love her" I thought. I picked up her things and handed them to her as fast as a NASCAR pitstop.

"Woah Humphrey where did you come from?...and why are you so out of breath?" Apple asked with curiosity.

"No time to talk, see you later" I said running after Garth who ran in the girls varsity gym. I ran up to the gym and stopped not believing I'm about to do this.

"Really Garth you could've gone anywhere in the entire school but you choose the girls varsity lockers?" I asked myself out loud with a sigh running in.

Garth was almost to the exit making a scene on himself while girls were practicing for basketball. When I ran through the gym a basketball flew in my hands. The coach tried to stop me but I gave her a little crossover move making her fall in mortification. The ball slipped out my hands when I tried to throw it, and unintentionally went into the hoop. The girls was in awe while some cheered at the amazement that happened right in front of their eyes.

"I'm so sorry" I said to the coach running away out the gym after Garth.

I was in the girls locker room and they were many girls changing into their basketball gear covering themselves. I tried to run through them but some of them took it disrespectful and hit me as I made my way through them. But for safety reasons, I covered my testicles with my life because that's a go to spot for a girl.

"Ow ow I'm so sorry..ow" I said running my way through angry girls. The last one hit me in my balls like expected and it didn't hurt that bad because my hand were over them, but it still hurt like hell.

"Ohhh, my kids are going to be retarded" I groaned from the pain crunching my balls. (Another fun fact, girls are allowed to beat boys ass if they go in the girls locker room at my school)

Garth wasn't in sight and I ran to where I thought he went. It seemed like I was the only one running through the halls now because I heard no footsteps but mine. I soon caught on to where he was going when I realized this is the same way to get back to his car. By then it was already too late. I ran out the school exit and saw him burning his tires out across the parking lot. Driving away like he had warrants.

"Shit shit shit shit shit" I said punching the door watching him leave. "I gotta stop that asswhole" I thought.

Drake ran up to me late as hell out of breath trying to figure out why I'm just standing here.

"What happened dude?" Drake asked.

"He got away" I said and Drake sighed looking away from me for a second.

"Dammit!..so-so what do we do now huh?...he's the only one who knows where Winter is" Drake said panting a little with his foot on the steps.

"But...you...know where he lives right?" I asked looking at him squinting my eyes from the bright sun.

"Yeah, but I don't think he does his plots at his house" Drake said shaking his head.

"I know where he does his plots" Sebastian said walking from around the corner.

"Who the hell are you?" Drake asked a little startled.

"Sebastian, he's a friend of mine that moved here from Toronto" I said instantly thinking of a joke.

"So where he lives?" Drake asked.

"I don't know really, but he came to my house one time for a prank plot" Sebastian said. Drake didn't hesitate and punched him in the jaw knocking him out cold.

"DRAKE WHAT THE HELL MAN!" I shouted looking at the unconscious Sebastian.

"He just admitted to helping that asshole" Drake said angrily.

"That doesn't give you a reason to punch him…besides he said a prank plot" I said bending down to check I he's even alive.

"Who side are you on?" Drake asked serious with his arms spread innocently.

"Yours but this was a dumb thing to do...now who's going to tell us where Garth is?" I asked.

"Can't you just wake him up" Drake subjected bending too.

"Nope I think you sent him into fairytale land he's with sleeping beauty right now" I said slapping his cheeks.

"Fuck it's just that...Winter's gone and probably dead while-"

"I understand but think about the things you do before you do them…now help me drag his body somewhere" I said looking around to see a bush.

"Sure" Drake said grabbing his legs and I held the top half. We laid him down in some nearby bushes and fled the area back into school.

"Wait a second I just thought of something" I said freezing in the process.

"What's up?" Drake asked.

"He said a plot prank...it couldn't be for Winter because he doesn't know her like that" I said thinking.

"So what's that supposed to mean?" Drake asked unsure where I am going with this.

"It means jumpman jumpman jumpman Garth is up to something woo" I sung impersonating Drake. (For the people who might not know, Drake is a rapper/singer in the real world look him up)

"Really bro?...there's no damn time to be joking around" Drake said starting to get pissed pushing me slightly.

"Sorry that's the last Drake joke I promise" I chuckled.

"But anyways, who would prank one of the nicest girls in the school?...just think about that" I said letting it sink in.

"Pshh knowing Garth...he's about the only one I know that would do something like that" Drake said.

"But look from my personal experience of getting pranked by Garth…if you do something he didn't like he'll prank you in the most creative embarrassing way ever...that's some type of revenge he has on that person...he'll never go this far and kill someone for a prank" I explained.

"So who was he pranking?" Drake asked.

"The wolf who beat his ass in the cafeteria...party...and stole the girl's heart he hunted for years" I said and Drake still looked confused.

"Me" I said clearing up his confusion.

"What?..why would he do all this for Candy?" Drake asked disgust.

"Candy?...no Kate dude" I said puzzled to why he would think I date Candy.

"Oh sorry...I forgot you was with a girl that was out of your league" Drake said chuckling.

"And Candy is in my league?" I said a little upset.

"But tell me the truth...Candy does have a little more cake in her bakery than Kate you can't lie" Drake said chucking to himself.

"Yep, I can't lie about that but Candy though?" I asked still on the topic of him thinking I date her.

"Yeah you two would make a perfect couple...I mean she has been crushing on you for a looong time now" Drake said.

"Wait, really?" I asked smiling to myself someone actually had a crush on me.

"You didn't know that?" Drake asked.

"Not a clue...I thought she was just being weird" I said.

"See you two have something in common already, you both are clueless and insanely weird" Drake jokes.

"Anyways back to my point Garth was trying to prank me in someway to get to Kate...I guess Winter saw his plans somehow and had to dispose her" I said and we began to walk to class.

"Hmmm, kind of adds up" Drake said.

"But, where did he dispose her is the real question" I said.

"Can you not say dispose her?" Drake asked.

"Okay, the real question is where he got rid...of...her?" I said trying to rephrase it in a less murderous way.

"A little better" Drake said shrugging his shoulders.

"Soo um, you know we're late for class right?" I asked.

"Yeah I know" Drake said.

"So what now?" I asked stop walking.

"Geez Humphrey you're a rookie skipper...just don't get seen by any hall monitors simple" Drake said and bumped into someone.

"Like that one" I said looking at him with a guilty facial expression.

"Yep like that one….Heyyy Mr. Stevenson I can explain" Drake said fixing his tie.

"Passes please" He said holding out his hand.

"See what happened was-"

"After school detention at 4:00 for you two don't be late or Saturday school will be valid" He said printing us both out a detention pass handing it to us. When he was out of sight Drake mocked him and bolded up the detection slip.

"What are you doing?...are you trying to ruin your Saturday?" I asked.

"Not like I have anything better to do...see you later rookie skipper…oh yeah and thanks for everything" Drake said turning down the hall leaving me alone.

"Ehh well Saturday can get me out of chores" I said shrugging my shoulders putting it in my pocket.


After School


The last bell of the day rung dismissing everyone to return home or to after school activities. The halls were crowded with students as usual who tried to leave disparately. I made my way to my locker and put my combination in to get my things ready for tomorrow. When I closed it someone was leaning on the lockers with the most beautiful smile ever.

"Hey Humphrey" Kate said softly with a smile.

"Oh uh, hey Kate I didn't expect you to be by me this time" I said smiling.

"I might have left out of class early for you" Kate said smiling.

"Aww see you're really adorable when you want to be" I said chuckling.

"It's not for that reason I have something to tell you" Kate said with seriousness in her voice.

"Is it about running in the girls locker room?...where you in there?" I asked.

"What? no...why are you running in the girls locker room?" Kate asked with an raised eyebrow.

"Long story" I said chuckling.

"Yeah I bet you had a long beat down too you pervert" Kate joked.

"Yeah but you have a pervert as a boyfriend so do you regret it?" I chuckled.

"Not one bit boys will be boys my mom says it best" Kate laughing.

"That's the laugh I missed all day" I said smiling and her cheeks lit up.

"So what were you going to tell me?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, ummm, shit I forgot" Kate said sighing.

"Was this my fault?" I asked chuckling.

"What you think?" Kate asked giggling.

"No?" I said chuckling.

"Well then I guess not" Kate said with sarcasm as I started walking to the exit with her following.

"It'll probably come back to you later, but anywho...is it still fresh to come over tonight?" I asked.

"You bet" Kate said smiling.

"Great, I'll walk over after I go home" I said smiling and she giggled.

"What?" I asked.

"You rather walk over?" Kate asked.

"What's wrong with that?...I love to walk it's good for the legs you know...you should try it" I said chuckling.

"No thanks suit yourself, but call me when you change your mind" Kate said giggling.

"Like I'll ever say that" I said chuckling.

"I can't wait to say I told you so" Kate said giggling.

"No it's gonna be the other way around" I chuckled and Kate held my hand and I stopped walking.

"What's wrong I can't hold my boyfriend's hand?" Kate asked smiling.

"Yeah, it's just that I didn't expect that to happen" I said smiling.

"You'll get used to it because it'll happen very often" Kate said smirking.

I walked Kate all the way to her car holding hands with her, revealing a big sign that we're dating to anyone who's watching. It was a quiet walk not really much to talk about until we arrived at her car. Kate unlocked her doors and sat her things in first before getting in. I closed Kate's door and she lowered her window down smiling at me before starting up the car. We started in each other's eyes for a long while before I leaned in for a kiss. This was probably the most passionate kiss we have ever performed on each other so far. It made me feel so good inside that I am once again kissing the girl of my dreams. I wanted this kiss to last forever but like every other dream I have to wake up eventually. Kate pulled away with her eyes slightly closed because of the big smile that was on her face.

"I'll see you later Humphrey, I love you" Kate said still smiling like the grinch.

"See ya, I-I love you too" I said kissing her cheek one last time. Kate whined her window up and put her car in reverse. I knocked on the glass and she whined it back down.

"Yes baby?" Kate asked seeming charmingly happy.

"You forgot to put on something" I said chuckling shaking the seat belt.

"Oh right thanks officer" Kate joked strapping it on.

"No problem ma'am you drive safe okay" I said chuckling. Kate rolled her eyes and whined her window back up before reversing and driving away.

"Wow, that kiss was amazing" I said smiling to myself. The moment was ruined when someone put their arm around mine.

"I bet it was" Apple said smiling.

"Where the fuck did you come from?" I asked with a change of mood looking down at her

"I said the same thing before" Apple said giggling waving Kate goodbye as she drove off.

"Nevermind, let's just get home" I said holding her hand leading us home.

"So you can get ready to Netflix and chill with Kate?" Apple asked giggling.

"How do you know about this stuff, it's like you're a psychic" I said chucking

"I know wolves who know things" Apple said smiling.

"It was Lilly huh?" I asked.

"Yeah" Apple giggled.


Meanwhile…


Stephanie was still in the hospital with Winter in the hospital bed sleep. She still felt horrible for putting her in harm's way all for a boy. It was a stupid decision of hers, and maybe none of this would have happened. Stephanie was waiting for her to wake up so they can leave on doctors orders, but she never did. Putting Stephanie in deeper guilt for not only missing a half a day of school, but for her being missing from her family and friends. Stephanie was dozing off on the couch area that was in the room until she heard Winter starting to wake. Stephanie stood up and walked over to her with a smile.

"Hey" Stephanie said smiling.

"Hey Stephanie" Winter said raspy with a smile.

"How you feel?" Stephanie asked.

"Hurt, tired, hungry, and thirsty but alive" Winter said smiling. Stephanie reached in her purse and handed her a bottle of water.

"Thanks" Winter said trying to open it but was too weak.

"Can you-"

"Got it" Stephanie said giggling taking the bottle opening it it for her. Then handing it back.

"Thanks again" Winter said taking a long drink finishing the whole bottle.

"You really meant you were thirsty" Stephanie said giggling.

"Yeah, I'm still thirsty but I'll wait" Winter giggled softly.

"Hey um Winter I have to tell you something" Stephanie said ready to confess.

"And what's that?" Winter asked.

"Promise not to get mad" Stephanie said.

"I promise, I'm a happy person" Winter said smiling.

"This is-is my fault...that all this happen...I kind of helped Garth" Stephanie said confessing.

"What!" Winter shouted angrily coughing painful afterwards.

"Shhh you said you wouldn't get mad" Stephanie said in almost a whisper.

"Yeah, but you guys tried to kill me what kind of a wolf are you" Winter said after she recovered from the cough.

"Look I can explain, I didn't know Garth was going to do that" Stephanie said as serious as she could.

"Garth!...that murder wait until I tell Drake….oh no Drake he's probably worried sick about me…shit my parents are probably worried sick even more" Winter said panicky refreshing her mind to reality.

"Winter calm down stop panicking" Stephanie said.

"Don't talk to me, you tried to help Garth kill me" Winter said angrily.

"Is everything okay in here?" A nurse asked walking in.

"Oh you're a awake...how you feel?" She asked walking over to Winter.

"Just a little hurt when I move" Winter said.

"We'll give you some prescribed pain pills for that" She said.

"Thanks, can I leave now?" Winter asked desperately wanting to get back to her life.

"Actually no not yet, you have to be off your feet for some hours so you're going to have to spend a day here" She explained calmly.

"Well can I call my parents?" Winter asked.

"You sure can sweetie" The nurse said turning around until Stephanie spoke up

"Here" Stephanie said handing Winter her phone, and she respectfully took it. Even though she really didn't want to.

"Okay that solves that, if you have any more questions feel free to ask me anything" The nurse said smiling leaving them alone.


Stephanie's P.O.V.


"Winter-"

"Shh I'm on the phone" Winter said dialing the number before placing it under her ear. It was a awkward silence and she stared at me like a lion in the grass ready to pounce.

"Hello babe...yeah it's me" Winter said still staring at me. Someone was talking on the other end but I really couldn't make out what they were saying.

"I'm in the hospital right now" Winter said.

"I knew something was wrong, which hospital you're in?...I'm on my way" I heard him say.

"No I want you to tell my parents where I am they're at a meeting for work" Winter asked.

"You sure you're okay?" I heard him say.

"Yeah I'm fine just do what I say...I'm at EJH on Broadway" Winters said.

"Okay, I'll let them know...what me to bring anything?" I heard him say.

"Something from McDonald's would be nice" Winter said. He said some more things I really couldn't make out but I translated it in my head.

"Okay, love you too" Winter said hanging up and handing me back my phone.

"Hey um-"

"Just leave please, I don't want to be bothered right now..." Winter interrupted me.

"Okay" I said sadly respectfully leaving.

I walked through the hospital slowly and made my way to my car. It was a long regretful walk and it was no one to blame but myself. There's many possibilities of this not happening if I wasn't apart of the scam. Not only I was upset with myself I was upset with Garth. So I am about to go give him a piece of my mind. I drove to his house and saw his car parked outside in the driveway. The lights were off in his home so I'm guessing he's probably sleep. I parked my car behind his and walked up on the dock to his house ready to knock, until it opened. No one was in sight and it was somewhat dark inside the house. I slowly walked in and closed the door behind me taking a look around. He hardly had any furniture, and it looked like he was moving somewhere. The wooden floors were squeaky making the scenery a little more creepy than it already is.

"Garth are you home?" I called out to no response.

There was an door down the hall that was slightly opened and looked like a TV was on. I walked to the door and slowly opened it to see no one inside. Just a bunch of small TV cameras of someone's house sitting on a table filled with buttons. The house on the TV actually looked somewhat familiar. My curiosity drove me closer to the TV's, and I realized the house was mine. He had cameras at all different angles even inside my house.

*Gasp*

"He stalks me?" I asked myself in a whisper sitting down in one of the chairs, trying to figure out the controls. I pressed a random button and another house appeared on the TV's.

A red Porsche was parked in the driveway in front of an expensive looking house on one camera. On another I saw Kate in her bedroom getting ready for something. "Why is there a camera on Kate's house?" I thought.

I saw a few pictures of Kate all over the table, and an capital X over Humphrey in a red marker.

"What does this mean?" I asked myself.

I turned around in the chair and saw a board with thumbtacked pictures of Kate and plots to kill Humphrey on the wall. Some of the pictures of Kate was disturbing because he had cut out some magazine porn pictures and glued their body on hers. He also had some creepy drawings that said "Your virginity will be mine Kate". To top it off, they all weirdly smelled like gasoline. "Oh no, he wants to kill Humphrey...why did I fall in his?...and why is he so obsessed with Kate?" I thought.

"Stephanie what are you doing here?" Garth asked with a suitcases in his hands, shocked to see me here.

"Oh um Garth, I was uhh looking for you" I said walking over to him.

"How much did you see?" Garth asked with his head down balding his fist.

"Enough to think you're an insane pervert that tried to kill an innocent girl because she was going to tell Kate about you wanting to rape her" I explained.

"I usually would do something very hurtful to you, but I think I'll pass" Garth said deeply breathing in and out then putting his things down walking past me.

"Garth, you need to stop this…" I said serious.

"Don't worry I am" Garth said lighting a match placing it under one of the pictures burning it. The fire quickly spread and was already burning the walls of the house.

"Garth what are you doing?" I asked starting to panic.

"Burning evidence" Garth said pouring a little more gasoline in.

"You're burning your chances of having a house to live in too" I said.

"I know, that's why I'm moving somewhere I should have stayed...now I'll advise you to leave unless you want to burn down with this house" Garth said picking up his things walking away.

"No you're not going anywhere I am not about to forget the fact you tried to kill someone...let's find out what the police have to say about you wanting to statutory rape a girl and attempted murder" I said angrily with a smirk.

"Why you have to make things so difficult we could've all left in peace but you had to be a snitch" Garth said before raising his fist to punch me.

"Wait wait Garth sto-"

He punched my left cheek causing me to scream in pure fear. As a small portion of blood was leaking from my now busted lip. I tried to depend myself slamming my fist on his chest but he took my head and repeatedly hit it against the walls. It was a matter of time until the 10th hit knocked me out. All I can feel afterwards is him picking me up carrying me somewhere before I blacked out completely.
