All Chapters of Out Of The Blue: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

DAHLIA         My life has always been nothing out of the ordinary. I have loving parents, a brother and a loyal bestfriend. I also have a fiance and if things turn out well, after I graduate from college, we'll be getting married. So, yes, you could refer to my life as normal.         I sat in the lecture hall, groaning inwardly as professor Finnian began to give lectures on psychology. For truth to be told, there are times when I'll rather listen to my mum's rambling than sit here, listening to Professor Finnian as he lectured us.Most students were distracted, only the most serious ones were listening to him at this point. I'm a third year college student, I'm not supposed to be this nonchalant about this course though. I've never failed a test, exam or a project but I've never been really good at psychology unlike other courses that I study.

DAHLIA       "Tori, wake up" I said, tapping her arm. She sighed and opened her eyes, glaring at me hotly."If the reason why you woke me isn't important, I'm going to kill you" she threatened."I want to show you something" I said and she raised a brow."Seriously?At this time of the night? Can't it wait?""I'm afraid it can't wait. Sit up" I said to her and she groaned, clearly annoyed."Wh-""Please don't argue, just do it" I said and she heaved another sigh before sitting up on the bed.She let out a frightened shriek when she saw the figure lying on the floor, bleeding buckets."Oh my God. Did you kill him?""See for yourself" I said and she moved away from the bed, to get a better view."Woah, is that who I think it is?" She breathed."Red" I breathed.She paled, kneeling close to my position beside him."What happened to him?""I don't know" I said, taking off his sweatshirt. 

RED     "Dude, something's eating you up. You can talk to me, you know" Lee said to me, bringing his cigarette to his lips. I heaved a sigh, shaking my head wearily."It's nothing""Is this about Dahlia?"I froze at the mention of her name. I couldn't bear to think of her, I felt so troubled. How wouldn't I feel troubled? I was supposed to kill an innocent person. How was I supposed to do that?Two days had passed since I saw her at the park. Usually, I would carry out my assignments two days after it was given to me. Five days had passed since I received the new assignment, yet I was still contemplating."Is your assignment giving you a tough time?" Lee asked, genuine concern in his eyes.I heaved another sigh, bringing the bottle of vodka to my lips."Man, you got it bad. Just get on with it, can't you? This has never happened before""It's not that easy, Lee""Okay, you've had enough vodka to last for a life

DAHLIA         Neither Lee nor Red showed up at school for another week. Maybe they were avoiding Tori and I. Deep down, I felt that Red was planning a more concise attack.  I couldn't help but feel insecure. I didn't want to die, not yet."Hey, Lia" Tori said as she walked into our room with a smile on her face. She had been moody ever since Red's attempt to assassinate me. I'm surprised she's back to being her bubbly old self."Hey" I said, leaning back on my chair. "Guess what" she said, smiling."I don't know""Come on, stop being boring. Anyway, I'm going on a date tonight with Rick" she said and I sat upright immediately, spitting out the water in my mouth. "Whoa.....why did you react like that?""It's nothing..... I was just shocked...How did you do it?"As far as I know, Tori has been crushing on Rick, one of the bad boys around. She'd been crushing on him for as long as I remember.

RED    "Red? You ready yet?!" Lee called out from the bedroom. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and opened them to stare at my reflection in the mirror. I still looked like I'd been run over by a truck. But who cares? It's not like I've got anyone to impress. I've lost nearly everything. The only family I have left is Lee and I can't afford to loose him. I shifted my weight to my right leg, wiping my face with a face towel. "Red?"I heard the door open but I didn't turn to look at him. "Are you okay?" I stared at my gloved hands.Was I okay?No, I wasn't.I wanted to scream and cry.I wanted to die.I felt so guilty.What would happen if Lee dies because of me?What about Dahlia and Tori?I'm risking their lives and I'm not okay with it.My mum....She's going to die because of me. She's going to die because of my failure.I flinched when I felt Lee place a hand on my shoulder."Woah, calm down
