~I know that it has been a while since I have written, so here is another chapter. Okay, well one thing is right, I am using the Days serial killer, but I know a lot of people have died in my story, and believe me, I do not plan on putting every chapter like that, not even close. You will just have to wait and read, but always Therox in the end, trust me I love them together. Thanks for the advice to make the story better though, I really appreciate it. It does mean a lot to me that people are telling me what would make the story better, and believe me, I listen to everyone's opinions, so feel free anytime. Thanks for all the amazing reviews, they also mean a lot to me. Just a reminder, the deaths will cease, but just when people start to let their guard down... Keep reading to find out what happens~ (By the way-scratch off the second two bullets for the spoilers, because they won't be until later chapters, so they won't be on this chapter)

CHAPTER 12

Everything was going peacefully for a while, until something came crashing out of the ceiling, and pushed two women on the floor lifeless.

Gasps and screams, were heard throughout the room.

"Paloma, Theresa!" Eve exclaimed running toward her best friend's daughters.

"Are they okay?" Luis asked, bending down to look at his sisters.

"Oh, they should be just fine." Eve said, but saw that both women were bleeding, from a cut they both suffered.

Fox was bending down to make sure that Theresa was okay. He took a wet cloth, and put it to her head, trying to stop the bleeding from the cut.

"Thank you Fox, that will definitely help!" Eve exclaimed doing the same for Paloma.

"Come on Theresa, wake up." Fox pleaded with the unconscious brunette.

"Why aren't they waking up, Eve?" Luis asked nervously.

"I don't know, they both should have conscious by now, I don't know why they aren't." Eve said clearly worried.

All of a sudden, the two women started to stir, and both opened their eyes, sitting up.

"Are you two okay?" Eve asked the shocked women.

They didn't answer. They were too focused on what had sent them flying on the floor.

"OH MY GOD!" Theresa screamed standing up, and backing away.

Paloma who was still recovering from the fall, jumped up, and stood next to her sister.

It was a box, a very heavy box. It looked some-what like a chest, but they weren't sure what was inside, and why it was in the ceiling in first place. The thing that scared them the most, wasn't the box, it was the blood that was covering the box.

"What is in there?" Theresa asked pointing to the box.

She and Paloma were very shaky, and they were terrified.

"We haven't looked in there yet, we were too focused on the two of you." Eve explained.

"Well, is someone going to open it, I want to know what is in there, and why it is covered in blood." Theresa replied.

"I don't think it is such a good idea, I say we get rid of it." Eve said looking at the box, but talking to Theresa.

"I want to know what is in there." Theresa stated firmly.

"Okay well, who is going to open it?" Eve asked.

Nobody spoke up, nobody volunteered, nobody wanted to open it, until one person broke the silence.

"Fine, you know what, I will open the stupid box." Theresa said, speaking up, and showing her bravery.

"Theresa, I can't let you do that." Fox said gently grabbing her arm.

"You don't have a choice. I am sorry, but no one else will, and my curiosity is getting the better of me." Theresa said pulling away.

"Fine, you know what, I will do it." Fox said, feeling as if he didn't stop Theresa, it would be the end of her.

"No, Fox, thanks but I can't let you do that. I am the one who wants to know what is in there, so I will be the one to find out." Theresa said stepping in front of him.

"Theresa, I don't think that is such a good idea." Paloma said speaking up.

"I am sorry that you all feel that way, but I have to do this." Theresa said stubbornly.

She walked over to the box, and prepared to pull the lid off, but stopped. She felt dizzy, and grabbed a chair for balance. She had a feeling that whatever was in that box, it was bad, and that is why this is happening. It is trying to stop her from opening the box, but she wasn't about to back down.

"Theresa?" Fox asked, going to steady her. "Are you okay?" He asked holding her up.

"Yeah, I'm just fine, thanks anyway." Theresa said standing straight, getting ready once again, to open the large box.

Once she pulled the lid off, she screamed, a fearful scream, as loud as she could.

"THERESA!" Fox yelled as he ran over to her side.

Everyone else was now coming over to see what the box held.

Theresa was shaking violently, and the tears of fear were starting to pour down her face.

"WHAT THE HELL!" Fox yelled, hanging on to Theresa, almost afraid to let her go.

Theresa was also hanging on to him, and breathing heavily. She kept backing away, and Fox's grip only tightened.

"What is it?" Paloma asked, with Luis hanging on her protectively.

They all looked into the box. They couldn't bring themselves to believe what is in there.

The box held a pool of blood, which filled it, but in all of the blood, there were body parts. Fingers, arms, legs, and anything that is apart of the human body.

Theresa became dizzy once again, and lost her balance, but luckily for her, Fox was able to catch her.

"Theresa, are you okay?" He asked concerned.

She couldn't hear him. The world around her was spinning, and she couldn't concentrate. She didn't know what was happening to her, but it was starting to scare her. She then, fell unconscious, and Fox gently placed her on the floor, staying right by her side.

"Theresa, oh god, please wake up." Fox pleaded for the second time that day.

Eve bent down, and took a look at Theresa.

"Is she okay?" Fox asked anxiously.

Eve sighed. "I'd say she is going to be fine, I guess this is just from the shock." Eve explained.

Fox hadn't noticed, but everyone else noticed how scared he looked for Theresa, and that he had not once left her side at the funeral. He didn't seem to notice how much his feelings for her were developing, but the rest of the room did, and they had to admit, Theresa and Fox would make a cute couple.

Fox, you really care for my sister, don't you?" Paloma asked, seeing the love in the young Crane's eyes.

"Of course I do, she is my best friend." Fox said, knowing where Paloma was going with this, and he had to admit, deep down, he did want to be something more than friends with Theresa, but he wasn't ready to admit it, not yet anyway.

"Fox, I can tell love when I see it, and you are in love with my sister." Paloma said, with a small smile.

"Okay, that box must have hit you pretty hard." Fox joked.

"Fox!" She said in a warning voice.

"No, Paloma, of course I am not in love with her, how crazy can someone get." Fox denied.

Paloma decided to get more into it in a better place. A funeral home isn't the place to talk about who you love.

"Okay, why don't we talk about this another time." She suggested, seeing Fox nod his head yes.

He was holding Theresa's body, waiting for her to wake up, but she looked so lifeless.

"Fox, has she woken up yet?" Eve asked, walking over from another group of people, to see Theresa and Fox.

"No, why, should she have been?" He asked, noticing how pale she looked.

"Well, I would think, but the shock was a lot for her to handle, so it may take a bit longer." She explained.

Theresa then, stirred, and opened her eyes. She sat up, and looked confused. That is, until she saw the box, and then she remembered everything, and was overcome with fear.

"Theresa, thank god." Fox said embracing her.

She was still breathing heavily, and when she looked around, she jumped up.

"What's wrong?" Fox asked standing with her.

"Oh god, umm, nothing." She lied, seeing the worry on his face.

She didn't know it at the time, but the same feeling that Fox was denying, she was also denying. They were denying the love that they feel for each other.
