“Theo.” I glance around my eyes lingering on the tree line. It’s bloody freaky out here at night, my mind must be playing tricks on me.
I keep going, hugging myself tight but I can’t shake the feeling that someone’s out there.
“Theo, come on,” I sigh. “Are you following me? Because it’s not—”
A dark figure bursts from the shadows, grabbing me and pulling me until the darkness swallows us whole.
I scream, terror saturating every inch of me.
It’s just Theo fucking with me.
It’s Theo.
Just Theo.
“Hello, Raine, baby.”
I go deathly still, the fight dying inside of me.
No.
No.
“Vaughn, what are you doing here?” Fear chokes my voice off, my heart lodged in my throat as he turns me to face him.
“Figured it was time to say hi.” He crooks a wicked smile.
“But… how…”
My head spins as I try to make sense of what is happening.
I came here to escape that life.
To escape him.
Our secrets.
He steps forward and I step back, trying to keep some distance between us.
“Raine,” he tsks, “did you really think you could hide from me?” Another step forward. Another step back. “Did you really think I wouldn’t find you?”
“I…” I can’t speak. Can’t find the words to convey what I feel.
He can’t be here.
He can’t—
“Shh, my little storm.” His hand snaps out and he roughly grabs my face, running his thumb across my lips. “I’m here now. And you’ve been a bad, bad girl.”
