The light above the back door was useless, vibrating with dim light. It fueled the anxiety in my mind. Even cold air wasn’t helping anymore, it didn’t numb my mind enough to stop paranoia. I exhaled and watched the white air of my breath disappeared in front of me.
The moment I turned my back to go inside I saw Channing and was startled.
Was he there all the time?
“Channing! You scared me,” I said, put my hand on my heart.
He blew out the smoke of his cigarette before answering me.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to. You were standing there like you wanted to be alone. That’s why I didn’t want to bother you,” he said.
“Yeah, my bad. I’m tired, I think,” I laughed nervously. Why was I nervous around him? He was cute and friendly since the first moment he saw me. I blamed the tension and the growing paranoia on my body.
“Well, I’ll leave in a few. See you tomorrow night, Channing,” I said and walked into the club toward the backstage. The same eerie feeling followed me in the hallway, too. I quickened my steps toward the dressing room.
After I changed my clothes, I headed toward the bar. Everyone was there except Sage but I thought she left earlier. There was an invisible wall between her and everyone else. It wasn’t bad. It was mysterious and slightly intimidating.
“Guys, I’m leaving. See you tomorrow,” I yelled and they waved at me.
When Frank saw me he didn’t say anything to greet me, again. But he called Zac, nonetheless.
“Frankenstein,” I murmured when I stepped into the car and after some brief chat with Zac, I was finally at home.

It was funny watching how anxious she was, standing in the darkness and searching her surrounding with those grey eyes. Like she could save herself in danger, like she would have a chance when I finally put my plan in action to catch her.
I will let her be until it’s the right time.
I’ll let her believe there was no danger for her.
Then, I am going to come for her.
And she wouldn’t be able to run even if she tried.
She wouldn’t know where I came from until it was too late.
And after that, nothing would matter anymore.

Sitting on my bed after a shower I grabbed my journal. It felt heavy in my hand. My heart was beating faster after the night in the club. It felt like something had changed. I didn’t know why but in Will’s office I felt something dangerous. My mind was too tired to name my feelings. But I knew something about Will or his way of talking…or something…made me uneasy.
I shook my head to delay my thinking for tomorrow. Before I let my eyes close, I wrote:
Day 2- 14th October
I met everyone tonight, Angel.
I’m closer to find out what happened to you, now.
If you’re alive…Send me a sign. Help me, Angel.
Please, be alive.
I was sitting in Rosie’s home garden and sipping my tea when she brought the apple pie. The delicious apple and cinnamon scent gave me the feeling of being at home.
