Peace, love, and Halo.

I hope that this is better than the first chapter it is more of a filler but it is a set up for the story and what kind of story this will be.

Xoxo,

Haley.

The plane ride in was the most frightening experience of my whole entire life and that is not an understatement. I felt as if I were about to die with every wakening moment in I spent on the flight home. I could not stop thinking about the warning that I received from the mysterious man because if it is true than I am about to step foot in a fire. I didn't even tell Kristen, Alicia, or Dylan that I am coming back home because they are already afraid enough as it is.

"Massie, dear are you alright? You seem a little jumpy today." My mother asked as I stared out of the window wishing I was back home in London. When we arrived to our old house it seemed as though we never left; everything was still in it's rightful place but the guest house seemed to have a different vibe coming from it.

"I told you that I am not comfortable being around Claire." I said rather harsh because my mom knows the whole story of Claire become skewed. I had to tell my parents because it was my only way out of Westchester. I was in danger and now I am playing with fire.

"Massie, we wouldn't have brought you here unless it was something urgent and it is." My mother said as she parked the car in the driveway. I couldn't provoke myself to move out of the car, I sat there frozen in my seat. "Come on dear, we have a lot of explaining and a lot of unpacking to do."

I don't remember how long I stayed there in the car, but when I finally got out my mom was ready finished with unpacking our belongings. I walked in the kitchen and found my mother prepping lunch which is odd because usually Inez is the one cooking not my mother.

"Why are we here?" I asked her as I sat down on the stool. She looked up from the pan and met my eyes with hers. I saw the look of worry plastered on her face and now more than ever I am scared for my life and well being.

"Massie, I don't know how to tell you this but Claire is missing." My mother said her voice full of remorse, but the truth is I stopped caring about Claire the day she turned her back on me. The day she threatened Derrick was the last day I ever had any feeling except for hate towards her.

"Why the hell do I care? She ruined my life." I said bitter of what happened in the past and ashamed that I gave up so easily. I could have stopped her, but I didn't instead I ran away. I will never forget that day that I Massie Jillian Block give into someone below me.

"Massie, you should care because she has been missing for the past three years now," My mother said calm and I sat there in shock of what she had just said. If Claire has been missing for the past three years then who the hell was pretending to be Claire? How could I have been so stupid to miss something like that? I mean Claire was never the kind of girl brave enough to stand up to me or get mad if I didn't tell her something right away.

"Whoever pretended to be Claire was trying to and is still trying to kill you." My mother broke out into sobs as she choked out the final words and now I understand why I had to leave. I was a target and still am. I jolted from my seat and comforted my mom because she shouldn't have to go through this.

Whoever wants me dead is determined, but I am determined to save Claire from their tainted grasp even if it means that I might die. I will do anything to protect my family and my friends even if it means sacrificing myself for them to live, I'll do it.

"I am so sorry honey, we have been working so hard to find this person and put them behind bars but we have no leads to go on. The impostor has mysteriously disappeared and now we have to be on our toes for anyone suspicious." My mother said and I nodded my head because I know what it means. I can't trust anyone but myself until this whole ordeal is over with.

"Mom, he warned me to stay there and I should have listened but I want to face my demon and not be scared." I told her the truth because I am sick of running away instead of facing my fears. I am sick of the nightmares. I am sick of lying. I am sick of hiding. The time has come for me to face my demon and I will stop at nothing until I find Claire and lock my demon up forever.

Two weeks later:

"Massie, what the hell do you think you are doing here?" a voice behind me said frantic of me showing my face at Westchester High School. My first day back has gotten me nowhere except I finally saw my friends again but they were the least bit pleased to see me back before it is safe to return.

"Derrick, is it really you? I can't believe that you are back here. I thought you left and were never going to come back." I said as I turned around and saw those familiar brown eyes and shaggy blond hair standing right in front of me. It seems as if a decade has gone by since I have seen him last.

"Yes it really is me and I asked you the same exact question," He fumed mad to see me, but I don't quite understand why. I mean I left to protect him and we both understood that-well I thought we did, but maybe he didn't. "How did you leave? I had people keeping an eye on you making sure that you couldn't get out of there sight and then I am informed by Olivia Ryan of all people that you are back here-"

"Wait, what do you mean that you had people watching me?" I cut him off intrigued by his rant. Why did Derrick have people watching after me? Unless he knew the truth about Claire and he feared for my safety.

"Oh for the love of God, Massie, my dad is an FBI agent for christ sakes and he knew long before anyone else about Claire and about you being in danger." Derrick said without a thought because he told me that his dad's secret. He is an FBI agent which makes sense of how Derrick already knew.

"Where did you go, Derrick? How did you stay away from her?" I asked out of curiosity because I needed to know what his secret was. I haven't been doing a good job of avoiding this impostor and now more than ever I need to know how to stay away from her.

"I went to London and stayed there to help keep an eye on you." Derrick said but his eyes told a whole different story. I could see the worry in his eyes, but more importantly I could see the love in his eyes. I wanted to say to him that I love him and I missed him every second I was in London, but the moment didn't feel right.

"Derrick, I don't want to be afraid anymore." I cried out and he pulled me tightly into his arms. I sobbed into his chest because this is the last time I will be able to be weak because I will have to brave to save Claire.

"We're going to find her, Massie. I promise that we will find her and I promise you that you will not die in this search." Derrick whispered into my hair and it was a wave of reassurance that I desperately needed. We stood there for what seemed to be a century and when we finally move, we moved together as one.

"There are no off days when you are catching a kidnapper." I said confident that we will find Claire and her impostor.

I have fought many wars but none of them have ever been like this, none of them had my friend's life in danger. None of them ever made me a coward and none of them will end with a life sentence. I refuse to give up and give in once again.
