Riley hugged her thin cardigan closer to her chest. The one day she thought she could wear something light and go have a cup of tea in Topanga's, had to be the day that it snowed.

When she made it to the dorm the warmth embraced her like a hug and a short sigh escapes her lips. She sat down at a small booth in the corner, her usual position for when she's alone.

Not many people are there but it's only 11:00am and most people ae probably working. Although there is a probability that people are still shopping for last minute Christmas presents a few days before Christmas will roll by.

Riley, however was smart enough to buy her presents earlier. Last present she bought was about a week ago.

For some reason, she felt it was nice to be alone. Days had passed slowly since the incident and the texts and nightmares had gotten worse and worse. Riley become slightly distant with her friends. She didn't smile as much anymore and when she did it was small and slightly fake. However she ignored her problems and focused on everyone and everything else.

Riley ordered her usual, a peppermint tea with a chocolate muffin and sat down observing the scene in front of her. Adults sitting drinking coffee and doing work, teens studying homework and drinking milkshakes together, children with colouring pencils sitting beside chatting parents.

Her tea and muffin were placed down in front of her and she thanked the waiter nicely before picking the drink up and placing it to her lips.

Everything felt just right. A nice hot cup of tea at Topanga's on a sowing winter day. She searched through her purse and took out a book and began to read. Finally she had the chance to relax and forget about her troubles.

It had become even colder than before when she stepped out after finishing the tea and muffin and her teeth chattered loudly.

When she arrived at her apartment complex her hair and hat had snow all over them and she almost swore she had frostbite on her fingers.

"Why didn't I bring gloves?" Riley muttered to herself. When she arrived in her apartment she rushed to grab the blanket on the couch and ran up the stairs to her room where she replaced her thin cardigan and long sleeve shirt with a wool jumper. She kicked of her shoes and snuggled in the warm blanket on her bed.

But as soon as she got comfortable a small grumble came from her stomach. Riley glanced over at the clock. 1:00pm, God she was out late.

She trudged down the stairs grumpily and searched the pantry for lunch. Sighing she took out the bread, cheese and ham, placing them together and chucking it in the grill.

Her mum was at work and her dad with Shawn. Her brother had to go to school so she was alone in the house. It felt too quiet, but maybe it was because she was the only one there and she was used to her noisy family. Her best friend was shopping with her mum for final Christmas presents and Lucas and Farkle were having a guy's day probably. So there was no one to sit and talk with.

Just great! She thought. Picking up her fully grilled ham sandwich she consumed it quickly before returning to her bed.

Riley watched Netflix all afternoon. At around 5:30, her mum called asking her to pick up the Chinese she ordered which was down the block.

Sighing she pulled on her coat and remembered to put on her hat, gloves and scarf, then she began the journey towards the store.

She walked through the damp, cold alleyways using the short cut Maya and Riley had found a year ago.

Riley arrived at the Chinese place with ease and after collecting the found and paying the man she dashed out of the store and back into the alleys.

Suddenly she heard sharp footsteps from behind her. Riley's eyes widened with fear and she began to run. She could hear the other persons feet pound against the floor faster and harder just like her own. The footsteps seemed to slow to a stop.

Riley relaxed slightly and began to slow down to a normal walking pace. She turned the corner and was about to step into the main street when a hand pulled her backwards. She screamed but something was preventing the sound. Her vision went completely black. She kicked and hit as this person dragged her away.

Riley felt a sharp pierce in her upper arm. She began to feel dizzy, and she stopped struggling.

A/N: Sorry about the really long wait. It's just was the start of school and I lost track of time. I will update soon.
