Chapter Nine (Part II)
Becca's POV
I saw myself running. Running from Adams and his sick game. I could hear my heart pounding in my chest, my eyes wide and my legs moving as fast as they could.
I heard, rather than saw, the arrow whiz past me and lodge in a tree bark. The woods was too big! I would never get to the road on time.
"Seven!" he yelled. I had played hide and seek countless times and I knew it wasn't played this way. Somehow, Adams had twisted my favorite game into something deadly.
Every attempt he made to kill me nibbled at my confidence. Adrenaline made my senses sharper, suppressed the fear and made me faster. I knew he would kill me if he found me. I wouldn't make it out alive.
A stone whistled past my ear and struck a pine tree by my left. He had started using the catapult and from the distance and aim, he was good.
I zigzagged through tress and

Boy, was she naïve.She had been seeing him for two months now and she was very happy.

Dark Horse Chapter one
The cool afternoon breeze swept my curly hair into my face. A group of seniors were playing football nearby. I sat alone, headphones on my ears, staring at the face I had sketched in my sketchbook five years ago. A face I liked to stare at to fuel my anger and hatred for people. Closing the book, I twisted a strand of grass between my fingers. Five years ago, I lost my father in a burglary at our house. It was a well planned event and was carried out efficiently. Two days before the incident, I had drawn a face I had seen flashes of in my mind. I hadn't been concerned because it was just one amongst others. I laughed drily remembering how those sketches had helped greatly in my father's murder investigation and other cold cases, when the police finally believed me and stopped thinking I wasn't crazy. Standing up, I arranged my bag and walked past the footballers. One muttered "freak", under his breath. I didn't

A gentle breeze silenced any cloud dreaming of rain. The clean scent of wisteria, Hyacinth, freshly mowed lawn and the cool night breeze calmed Becca's senses. She closed her laptop where she'd been helping her sleeping best friend, Lysandra Hawkins, with her poems. Two years living with Liz was as fun as it got. Their two bedroom apartment was located at the middle of oakfalls. It offered night long parties, bars and restaurants which we both visited once in a while. She scowled at Liz's sleeping form which was sprawled on the bed. so much for waiting for me, she thought wryly. She stood up and all her muscles screamed profanities at her brain for using them too long. Bending, she picked the duvet Liz had managed to kick off the bed and covered her properly. Walking to the small kitchen which also served as the dining room, she massaged her neck and picked a clean glass to drink wate

I glanced at my watch. 8:30, it proudly said, sneering at me. My mom stopped the car and got out while I unbuckled my seat belt. She was about to say something but refrained from doing so.Trying her best for nonchalance she, undoubtedly, tried to get as she drove me to school, she couldn't quite hide the hurt peeping from her green eyes. My own, twin replica of hers gave away nothing. "I will not talk to you if that's what you want. I won't stay away, no matter how much you detest me because I'm your mother and it's my job to see you're alright." I almost smiled. " you've been doing a very terrible job." I said.Nodding, she sashayed into my school to, no doubt, make an excuse for me being late. She could have said I went crazy and they would believe! Because of the strain, they would say. With anger overruling any other emotion, I covered it up with a mask of calm and composure.The door bell rang as Becca was towelling her wet hair. Who was that? She yelled "Liz
Dark Horse Chapter four
Becca hiccupped and giggled, dropping her empty glass once full of strawberry daiquiri that Luke had brought with him. After five hours of drinking orangeade, strawberry daiquiri, lemonade, punch and stories of maximum laughs and epic proportions, she was tired as fuck.If she heard one more funny one night stand story about Allison McKinney being daft as a brush, she would, literally, pass out of exhaustion. She was reeling at the idea of heading out to a friend's party that was ongoing. She entered her room, yelling a big, fat 'no' at Luke. Her head was spinning, bringing back sad memories that brought tears to her eyes. She plopped on her bed and faced the window that she had shut out of fear and desperation, refusing the notification bar that was asking permission to piece together what she'd seen and heard. Liz knocked softly and entered the room. "Are you going to the party? "" I just said no. Yo

Are you listening to me!!?" he said.His friend, who was staring at his perfectly buffed nails, rolled his eyes and said, " No, I'm not. Also, I did ask him to. It's not my fault you couldn't pick a lock! "The first guy threw his hands up in anger. " you're not concerned that we screwed up? "" You screwed up, not me. Also, I don't care because I'm not taking the fall for this. It's your fuck up. " his friend said, picking a hand mirror and admiring his perfect black curls." So.. You don't care? " the first guy said, quite hurt." I think I just said that in my previous sentence." came the reply. Before the first guy could reply, the door opened, angrily creaking and two guys with rifles walked in. They gave frightening glares
