I sat on the window sill, my legs dangling on the other side. The dark night seemed to calm me to a certain extent. The strong breeze slapped against my face rapidly. So, Alex was alive… He was still in Dixonville. I didn’t feel anything about this fact.

I let out a sigh and climbed down from th

ALEX'S POV“Now, I am beginning to regret my decision of helping you,” Michael said hugging himself as I dragged him through the woods. He jumped at each little sound and stopped walking.

One moment I was inhaling the fragrance and the next I was near its source. The throbbing of the pulse was the only thing I could focus on.
