Ha! Didn't think I would be updating this quickly did you! I got EOG's this week so no homework=more writing time!

I was making dinner when Kristy got back from…… where ever she went.

She had that white box with her.

She didn't even look at me when she walked in. She ran strait to her room and slammed the door. I heard the lock click as I settled on the couch.

BBBUUURRRIIINNNGGG! Aw, I just sat down!

"Hello?"

"Squee?"

"Johnny? Hey, why did you call?"

"I followed Kristy." he sounded irritated.

"Where did she go?"

"That's what bugs me. I followed her into town and somewhere between the Walgreens and Lowes foods I lost her."

"How could you have lost her? She doesn't blend in much."

"I know. I was even more amazed when she got back before me."

"…….She got back before you?"

"Yes. I don't know how she did it."

(Somewhere upstairs)

"Todd! I need to use the phone!" Kristy called.

"I got to go Johnny I'll talk to you later."

"Alright. Be careful." He hung up.

Be careful? What did he mean by that?

I creeped up the stairs as quietly as I could. I could hear my shoes creaking so I took them off. I could hear Kristy clearly through the thin door.

"Yes, I know I can't stay much longer."

………….

"Well I haven't seen anyone following me."

……………

"But that was the neighbor, I lost him anyway."

……………

"I know what'll happen if he finds me."

……………

"What! When?"

………………

"No… not Katie…"

……………….

"God, why is this happening to me!"

………………..

I picked up the other house phone in the kitchen; I had to hear what the other person was saying.

"Kristy you know he'll find you if you don't keep moving." an old woman was on the other line.

"I know he will but I'm tired of running!"

"Are you tired of living?"

…………

"Kristy you mustn't get so attached to other people."

"If I don't I'll go insane."

"It's better than having to say good bye."

"Like Katie…

"That wasn't your fault she chose to go with him and she paid the ultimate price."

There was a strange loud sound on the other line. It sounded like a vase had fallen and shattered.

"Kristy you must move!"

"Lady Jaclyn!"

There were loud crashes and struggling noises. Pottery was shattered, sounded like wood snapping, and then every thing got quiet…

"Lady Jaclyn?" Kristy yelled into the receiver.

The phone jumped and a new voice sounded from the other end.

"You can't hide forever my pet."

"I'm not scared of you Max."

"Then I'll just have to come get you now won't I?"

"Max just leave me alone!"

"I can't do that Kristy. I never leave a job undone."

"Max where's Lady Jaclyn?"

"She's… unavailable right now.

"You bastard what did you do to her!"

The dial tone was the only answer.

I ran up the stairs to find Kristy crying hysterically on the floor. I went to her side and hugged her.

"You were listening weren't you?" she said in between her sobs.

I nodded.

"Guess I have some explaining to do."

"You can tell me later. Right now dinner's ready and my dad will be home soon."

WOOT! Okay another chapter done! Another will soon be added!
