Chapter 21: Whispers Between Shadows

(Elle’s POV) The second note wasn’t the last. By the end of the week, I had three more. All written in the same frantic scrawl, all slipped into places they had no business being—inside my locker, tucked into my class notebook, even one folded neatly and placed on the driver’s seat of my car. Each one different, but each with the same message: “He doesn’t deserve your loyalty.” “You belong with me.” “Soon you’ll see who truly cares.” At first, I tried to laugh it off. Told myself it was some cruel prank. But there was no laughter in the ink. Whoever was writing these… they believed every word. And then, the gifts started. A small velvet box with a silver charm bracelet. A book I’d mentioned once in passing, sitting wrapped on my desk. A cup of coffee, still warm, left on the bench where I usually sat after class. No names. No explanation. Just… knowing. Knowing me too well. I wanted to tell someone. I wanted to scream it. But every time I though

Chapter 22: Strange

I couldn’t sleep. Not really. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw shadows stretching across my walls, crawling closer like they had a mind of their own. My phone buzzed once, twice, and I jumped as though someone had shoved me. But it was just… nothing. Just the endless stream of notifications that never seemed to stop. Still, I couldn’t shake it. Someone was here. I knew it. My apartment felt smaller, tighter, as if the walls themselves were leaning in to trap me. I triple-checked the locks, peeked through the blinds, and even checked the back alley for footprints. Nothing. No one. And yet… the feeling lingered. The prickling along my neck, the hair on my arms standing straight up, the sudden, inexplicable chill. My heart raced like a drum in a war march. I kept thinking about Aiden, about how he’d started pulling away, about how distant he’d become. Was he… worried for me? Or was he just giving me space? I didn’t want space. I wanted him here. I wanted him to tell me it was noth

Chapter 23: Unseen Threads

After classes ended, I headed to the library to get some quiet time to study. The usual chatter of students had thinned, leaving the room eerily still. I tried to focus on my notes, but my eyes kept darting to the shadows in the corners, convinced I was being watched. I reached for my notebook, planning to jot down everything that had happened over the past few days. That’s when I noticed it: a pen. Sleek, black, and unfamiliar, lying across my desk. I knew every pen I owned. This wasn’t one of them. My hands shook as I picked it up. Beneath it was a small slip of paper. I unfolded it with trembling fingers: "You’re looking too hard. Don’t let them see you sweat." My stomach dropped. Someone had been here, in the library, while I wasn’t looking. My pulse raced, and my heart thudded so loudly I thought everyone could hear it. I glanced around, the rows of empty tables and towering bookshelves suddenly feeling suffocating. Every shadow seemed alive, every creak of the floorb

Chapter 24: Whispers in the Dark

I wasn’t going to hide anymore. Not tonight. Not after the notes, the moved backpack, the shadows I couldn’t explain. Whoever had been creeping into my life… I needed answers. I stayed up late, apartment silent except for my own breath, and waited. Every creak of the floor, every faint rustle made my heart race. But I forced myself to stay calm, eyes scanning the room. Then I heard it—the softest movement near the window. My pulse spiked, but I didn’t panic. Instead, I stepped forward, voice low but firm. “Who’s there?” Silence. “Stop hiding. I know you’re here. I know what you’ve been doing!” My voice was stronger now, shaking slightly but filled with resolve. “If you want to scare me… fine. But I need answers!” A shadow shifted near the balcony door. My heart thudded in my ears. “You think this is a game?” I whispered, more to myself than them. “I’m not afraid anymore.” Then the figure stepped into the dim light. Still far enough away that I couldn’t make out the fac
