Ghosts swarm around me as I walk through the graveyard, all whispering. Their voices blue together. A heartbeat later, multiple people appear in front of me, all armed with guns trained on me. The guy in the front- clearly the ringleader, judging from how the others often look at him before acting- has a cruel smile on his face. "You. Can't say I was expecting that. I was hoping that Drake or even Dani herself would be courageous enough to face me."

Before I can so much as move a muscle, the scene changes- this time to a recurring scenario. My death. Dad, Tara, Zach, and Mrs. Briar stand in front of my gravestone, sadness hanging heavily in the air. Tara is crying into Dad's chest as he holds her, struggling to hold back his own tears.

My heart breaks as I stare at them, overcome with grief. The scene shifts back to the graveyard, back to the men with guns. "What do you want? How do you know my parents?" I say to the ringleader, recalling his earlier statement. I was hoping that Drake or even Dani herself would be courageous enough to face me.

He sketches a bow, the cruel smile remaining on his face. "I should probably introduce myself: my name is Griffin Kelly. Does the name Sarah Harrison mean anything to you?"

I'm about to say I've no idea what he's talking about, but the words die on my tongue as I realise, dread creeping over me, that it does mean something. She was Mom's sister. "H-how do you know that name?" I ask shakily.

He snaps his fingers and Sarah's body appears in front of me, scars and bruises covering every inch of her body. My gasp is audible as I stare at her, the brown hair so similar to Mom's. It's not until the smell of salt fills the air that I realise I'm crying. "It was you," I whisper, horror in my gaze. Before he can respond, however, I wake up.

My vision was blurred by tears as I opened my eyes, so it took a few seconds for it to clear. Dad's face appeared in my vision, pale and worried. I was trembling as I threw my arms around him.

"Honey, what happened?" Before I could respond, I caught sight of a familiar face- one that made my chest tighten to the point of pain. Adrian. He was beside me, an equally worried expression on his face as I looked at him.

I took a shaky breath as I broke the hug and looked at Dad again. "I know who killed Sarah," I whispered. His face completely drained of colour as the words left my mouth, his body tensing.

The word was barely a push of breath, his tone flat as he spoke. "Who," he breathed, pain flickering in his eyes at the name.

"His name is Griffin Kelly," I whispered, avoiding Dad's gaze. "He mentioned both you and Mom by name. You've never heard of him, have you?"

I took a shaky breath as I waited for his response. Exhaustion took hold of me, however, before he could speak. The last thing I was aware of was Adrian gently squeezing my hand before darkness enveloped me.
