Chapter Ten
Ding-Dong!
Sora smiled as she walked to the door. Thank the lord! I was beginning to get scared by myself. But now that Matt's here, I'm safe. Overcome with relief, her hand turned the doorknob. She didn't know why but she could feel her heart racing as she opened the door, letting in the dim glow of the moon. A look of bewilderment crossed her face, as she saw no one.
"Damn kids," she grunted as she closed the door. Just as she was about to sit on the couch…
Ding-Dong!
Arg! If this is Matt's idea of some sick joke then he's in for it! Her hand turned the lock as she angrily jerked the door opened. No one. Just a white rose on a white envelope. Her eyes widened as she bent down and picked up the rose. It's tipped with crimson. She gulped as her hands pulled out a folded sheet of computer paper. It read:
Your friends Tai and Matt can be of no service to you. I'm afraid I had to "take care" of them. You are free to turn to the police, but keep in mind that I have Kari in my possession. Now you wouldn't want a sweet innocent girl to suffer because of you?The paper slipped out of her hand in shock. Sora ran into the house and grabbed her purse.

The figure's lips curved into a dark smile as he saw her get into her car. His eyes glistened, as he knew exactly where she was going. The only problem, her car wouldn't work. He quietly slipped away unnoticed and headed in the direction of Tai's house. Time for the next phase…

Matt swung the keys around his index finger as his other hand gently closed the door to his car. He noticed that the parking lot was unusually quiet and dim, but shrugged it off. It was probably just his nerves, right? The wind began to pick up slightly as the full moon cast an eerie glow. He could feel them, eyes watching him very carefully. His blue eyes darted left and right. All he could see was nobody. Damn! I wish I didn't park all the back here.
Varoom! Vroom!
The sound of a speeding car engine punctured the silence of the night. Matt's back stiffened as he turned in the direction and to his horror, he saw it. A black car was headed his way! His feet stood rooted to the spot, as he his body stood as still as a statue. As for the car, it loomed closer and closer.
Matt's instincts kicked in at the last minute and his feet sprang to life as he leapt out of the way and began to roll towards a hard metal pole. He realized it too late…
Bang!
A searing pain ripped through his head as he slowly picked himself up.
Varoom! Vroom!
Matt turned around and saw the car again. He dodged to his left and crawled in between a row of cars. He looked over his shoulder and saw the vehicle come to a halt. Quietly, he crawled in between the parked cars until he could see an open space. Right across was the video store! If he could only make it…
Harsh footsteps sent Matt in a panic as he heard them become louder and louder. His eyes widened and he stood up and began to sprint. Little did he know that was exactly what the killer expected. Something hard connected with his head as he felt a shooting pain. His feet grew clumsy as he staggered. He tried to keep his eyes focused but it was no use. He was slipping away from consciousness. The last thing he remembered was falling to the ground as his hand grazed a rock and a voice.
"No one stands in my way of getting Sora."
A very familiar voice. Oh my God! The killer is… He never finished that thought, as he became unconscious.

Sora turned the key and again, she heard nothing. Arg! Piece of junk! Her keys were yanked out as she exited the car quickly. Her eyes shifted left and right. No one, that's what she saw. She shivered slightly as she broke off into a sprint to Izzy's house. Her shoes pounded the ground as her tanned hiphuggers grazed her legs.

Tai sighed. Another evening alone. Mom and dad went out, and Kari was on a date with Tk.
Crash!
Tai jumped and fell off the bed, as he was startled. What the hell? He rushed down the steps and walked softly to a door. The garage door. He gulped. What is this? Courage, man. Courage, he told himself as he cautiously flung open the door. His searched the garage but it was blanketed in a thick darkness. His feet stepped onto the cold cement as his had reached for the light switch. He flicked it. Yet, all there was no light. He frowned as he walked deeper into the garage. He knew his dad usually kept a flashlight on a table.
Slam!
Tai jumped at the sound and his head flipped towards the door. He could feel the hairs on the back of his neck; someone was watching him. With that thought, he stumbled in the dark to the door but something grabbed his ankle. He cried out as his body made contact with the floor. He could no longer feel the pressure of the hand and he looked around fearfully.
Creek!
The lights clicked on, blinding Tai. "Ah!" When his eyes finally adjusted, he saw a hard wooden shelf barreling towards him. His last thought, I don't want to die...I don't want Kari to die…

Sorry this took so long to get out, but I haven't looked at this fic for awhile and I had to re-read it to get some inspiration. Plus, I've been getting so much schoolwork and when I don't I'm usually out somewhere with friends. Lately I haven't really been as devoted to my writing as I once was. Probably because I'll be graduating high school in a few weeks. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Yiiiipppppiiii!!!!!Anyway, please feel free to convey your thoughts or feelings as to this part. Confused with this part? Don't worry, the upcoming parts shall clarify your confusion. Did you suspect Tai and Matt? Well, who did this to them? Who do you think it is?
