Over an hour went by and i still sat in the same place, the only difference is that i was in complete darkness, i became more and more worried about Simon, why havent i heard that knock at the door yet, who where them people and what did they want, why did he protect me and went out to face them on his own. So many questions crowded my mind and no one to answer them. I soon found myself shaking from coldness, i didnt realise that i was sitting in a very cold room with no heating on, i manged to lift myself off the sofa and into the kitchen, but i left the lights off, worried incase they were out side. I quickly glanced out the window, but there was no sign of anyone within a mile, i opened the cupboard next to the fridge and clicked the heating on, it would take some time but it would be warm soon, as i closed the cupboard door i started to think, what if they had killed Simon and i would be next, what if they dont come for me tonight but another night, what if i saw a picture of Simon on the news in the morning, then it hit me, i hadnt watched the news anymore, i dashed from the kitchen into the living room with one breathe, grabbed the remote and switched channel 3 on, but the news wasnt on, instead it was showing reruns of sex and the city, which always bored me. I sat back down in the same place i sat before but for some reason i felt colder than i did before like a block of ice had been placed on my skin. Then i heard it, the knock Simon said to wait for. Without thought i rushed into the hall, but then stopped when i saw the reflextion, it didnt look like him to start with, then i remembered, he told me to wait for him to say it was him, i listened to see if the strange shadow would talk, but it remained silent looking through the glass, i held my breathe waiting for the next move, but nothing happened. I started to wonder if it was one of the men, that stayed behind to get me, the shadow finally moved but it just knocked at the door once again, i stood still and held my breathe, wondering what would happen if i opened the door. I quickly blinked and in doing so the shadow had gone, dissapeared into thin air like no one was there, i felt the breathe i had been holding release in relieve, i let myself breath for a moment before returning to the living room, i looked over at the TV, but it was still the same. When i sat back down i was relieved in a way that the shadow person had gone, but now even more worried about Simon, it had been over and hour and a half now, and not a word from him, my thoughts started to take over my mind again as i felt the warmth flow in the room. Another sudden knock at the door made me hold my breathe once more, but this time it was what i wanted.

"Zoey, its Simon" his voice sounded fine like nothing had even happened, i lept off the sofa and straight to the door, i flung it open pleased to see him in one piece, not a mark on him, he smiled and i left a i sigh of relieve.

"You had me scared to death, where did you go?" i was so glad to see him in front of me unharmed, he smiled and looked down to the floor, but i couldn't see what he was looking at.

"Did someone come here Zoey?" i suddenly held my breathe once more as he looked back up at me, i slightly nodded, he then knelt down near the door mat and pulled something from underneath it, it was a white envolop with writing on the front, i couldnt see what it said because it was to dark.

"Can i come in?" i looked up at Simon and nodded he held the envolop in his hand as he passed me, i could smell a strong scent of something on him, i dont know what it was but it smelt good. We made our way into the living room, i slightly skipped over to the corner and put the lap on, when i turned round i could see what was written on the envolop, it was my name, but thats not the part that frighten me. It was also blood stained, my body suddenly froze as i can remember the writing from someone a long time ago.
"Zoey whats wrong?" when i looked at Simon, he was glancing at me with worried eyes, i took a glup and then a deep breathe, he held out his hand towards me, encouraging me to sit down, i took his hand, and to my surprise he was warm, warmer than i was, the heat travelled up my arm as i sat next to him.

"I know whos writing that it, but its impossible" i whispered without realising, i slowly started to shake in fear. Simon quickly took his jacket off and placed it on my shoulders in one move the warmth travelled through my body so quickly that i knew i was no longer shaking because i was cold.

"Zoey, what is it?, is something wrong?" his question closed my mind to one single thought that happened years ago, i shook my head and smiled at him.

"Its nothing, just a old memory that i hadnt thought of in years, could i please see?" i held my hand out for the envolop, and he handed it to me without doubt, i turned to look at the back, it hand a slight hand print of blood on it, but i opened it and pulled out a piece of news paper with a letter attached to it, i let the envolop go and placed the letter on my lap, i looked at the date on the news paper and it read 7th may 1999 i felt a shiver slide down my back making me feel colder than i did before, i grabbed the letter from my lap and dropped the news paper, Simons warm hand touched mine causing me to look at him, his eyes filled with worry and concern.

"Are you ok Zoey, please tell me something?"

"Its a long story, and not even my best friends know about it, i had to hide it to protect myself" he looked confussed, i opened the letter, it was written in blood, which made my skin crawl. I slowly read it in my head.

Hello Zoey its been a few year but i could not resist but to find you once again, i bet you have changed from that little girl that i use to know, i know i have changed, i have become something better, something that no one can understand, i would ask how you mother is but we both know the answer to that, my advice is not to take this to the police they wont have time for it, they have killings to try and sort out. I hope you are well and i hope to see you soon, very soon, D

My head started to spin causing the room to blur around me, my body became frozen, the next minute Simon was in front of me on the floor shaking my shoulders gently.

"Zoey wake up" i finally blinked and let out a breathe, at this point i wished Simon hadnt protected me from those guys, i wished he just let them kill me instead. Before i knew it i was running through me and watched in fear. Finally he grabbed me and pulled my body to face him.

"Zoey tell me whats going on, your worrying me" i then finally felt tears run down my face,i didnt even know i started to cry until that moment. Finally it came out of my mouth.

"Im scared" Simon qucikly put his arms around me and cuddled me into his chest, i tried to stop myself from crying but i couldnt, the tears jusy rolled out of my eyes and down my face, i placed my hands on his shoulders cuddling into him even more, i took in the smell he had on him, it was sweet but deadly at the same time, he finally released me from his grip and looked down into my eyes, he held me in a gaze for a long moment, i felt my fears disappear from that moment but soon returned once our gaze had stopped.

"Simon, what happened tonight, why did you go after them" the look on hos face dropped even more, making me feel bad for asking but i had to know, it was driving me crazy.

"Its a very long story and besides im more worried about you, since you opened that letter you have acted strange"

"How have i acted strange?" i knew it was a dumb question as soon as i said it, he smiled and pointed the the filled suitcase, i sighed knowing he was right, by the looks of it we both had stories to tell.

"Maybe we should have a drink and talk" he finally said aloud, it was like he stole the thought out of my head, but i had always been told i was easy to read. I smiled and nodded, quickly we made our way into the kitchen, i flicked the kettle on as i headed for the glasses.

"Hot are cold" i asked, he observed my kitched as best as he could, i felt like he was a health inspector looking around for something to get me kicked out, but he just smiled.

"Cold please, water is fine" i nodded as i grabbed my only blue Coke glass out of the cupboard, then grabbing a sister mug from the shelf higher, i made my way over to the sink and ran the cold water for a moment, and placed th glass under it until it was nearly full to the top, he smiled as i handed it to him, then went back to make myself a cup of coffee. I wasnt a big coffee drinker but i had a feeling i would possibly need it after what has happened tonight.

We soon became comfty in the living room on the sofa, i lifted the letter and new paper from the floor where i had dropped them, more in shock then anything, i didnt want to look at them again so i slung it on the table ready for me to face up to when i was ready. Simons eyes seemed to follow everything i was doing but at the same time you could see the worry in his eyes.
"Well hows starting" i asked in a whisper voice, it was loud enough cause he heard it, a smiled cropped up onto his face and i couldnt resist but to smile back.
"You go first, my story is long, i can wait" i smiled and let a sigh.

"mines not exactly a short version" i added into the conversation, but it made him smile, we both got comfy before even begining.
