Chapter 7


"What the heck?" I thought not taking my eyes off the screen. Did Logan send this? Probably, I knew telling the cops was a bad idea. I called Taylor to tell her the news but she didn't pick up. Ugh, I couldn't believe she left me alone at a time like this.

I took a cab to the company she worked for, it was a huge white building with a brown sign that reads "BreconRidge". 

I walked inside and found the reception, with waiting seats made of leather, and a desk behind which there was a woman who I assumed was the receptionist.

"Hi, is Taylor here?" I asked abruptly. 

She looked up looking confused, "Who?" she asked.

"Taylor Anderson," I said hoping that would ring a bell "You know the girl with dark brown hair"

"Arya? What are you doing here?" I heard a familiar voice say. I turned behind and saw Taylor.

"Ah, there you are! That receptionist is useless" I said walking up to her.

"Well it's a big office, she can't possibly know everyone's name," She said.

"True, but I need to talk to you. Follow me" I said and walked out of the building. 

We found a park and sat on a bench, and it reminded me of the time we first met. I told her all about the email. 

"I'm sure it's nothing," She said in an assuring tone. 

"Nothing? This person is threatening to kill me!" I yelled, I didn't like yelling especially not at Taylor but how could she say that? She wouldn't understand, she isn't getting targeted by a serial killer.

"No, I didn't mean it like that," She said trying to calm me down "I'm just saying Logan strikes me as all bark and no bite type of guy"

"Well he has killed people before, I doubt why he'll hesitate this time," I said shivering.

"Fine, you can call the cops, but I need to leave now," She said getting up and gathering her things.

"Where are you going?" I asked. 

"I'm going on a business trip to Melbourne, and I need to pack," She said.

"Can I come?" I asked feeling stupid almost immediately after I said that.

"I think we both know you can't," She said. "I wish I could be here for you, but this is important and you'll be under the safety of the police"

"Yeah I guess," I said not knowing what else to say.

That night I decided to go to a club or any other place which would be crowded. I really didn't want to go to the cops, but also didn't want to be alone. 

I got dressed and looked at myself in the mirror, feeling proud of how well I dressed. I took a few pictures and shared them with my friends before heading out. I wasn't able to find a cab, so I had to walk. Luckily it wasn't too far so I was able to walk. 

I walked through a few dark alleys in an attempt to take a shortcut, if only I knew what a terrible mistake that was. 

"Surprise!" I heard Logan say from behind me. I shrieked in fear as I turned a few steps back. 

"W-What are you doing?" I asked in trepidation. Before he could reply I attacked him with a bean bag gun I was hiding in my bag and ran away. I had never really been to these alleyways and was lost. And I was too scared to slow down and figure out where I was.

I hid behind a bus and called 911. 

"What's your emergency?" I heard the voice say.

"I'm calling from Merivale Road, and someone is trying to kill me" That was all I could say before Logan caught up with me. So I had to abandon my phone and keep running. After a little bit of running and hiding, I bumped into someone. It was a cop!

I hid behind her and told her everything. 

"Stay with her, we'll find him," A cop said, before leaving with the other cops. In a few minutes, the cops came back, handcuffed Logan, and told me I needed to come in for questioning. I agreed and went down to the police station, and told them everything they wanted to know. 

After we were done a cop offered to drive me home and I agreed. I was so exhausted when I got home I didn't even change my clothes, I went to bed right away. 

I woke up with a terrible headache, I decided to chill at home all day. But I was so bored, I wanted to call Taylor and tell her what happened but I knew she'd be busy. 

I missed her so much, having her around was so much fun and I felt so empty without her. I decided to make the most of the day and meet Logan in prison. 

"I want to meet Logan Smith," I said. 

"Name?" He asked without making eye contact.

"Zoey Adams," I said. He let me in, which was pretty surprising I thought he'd need identity verification or something. 

"Arya?" Logan asked in confusion when he saw me walk in.

"I can't believe you'd do this!" I exclaimed "Killing your own daughter?"

"I already told you, I did not kill Olivia you dumbo," He said. "I was selling weapons illegally to the bad men" 

"Wait- what?" I asked. I wasn't expecting this, I thought he killed Olivia and the others this whole time. "What about this email?" I asked showing it to him.

"I didn't send that," He said. 

"Don't lie" I said trying to sound intimidating.

"Why would I lie? I'm already in prison, I've got nothing to lose" he said.

I almost fainted when I heard this. If he didn't send the email or kill anyone it meant the killer was still out there, and someone was still out to get me. 

This sent a chill down my spine. I tried to distract myself by watching a movie and going to the arcade, but nothing worked. All I could think about was him. And how I could die any second, and my bean bag gun may not be enough to save me next time. 

I tried sticking near people so I wouldn't be attacked, but how long could I stay near people? I took the subway home. I decided to call Taylor, after all I'd been through she needed to be here for me. 

I called her but she didn't pick up, so I tried again.

"Arya I'm busy! Don't call me unless it's important" She said in a bitter tone before hanging up. 

I walked home upset and lonely. 

"Hello, miss can you help me," A man asked.

"Sure what do you need?" I asked.

Before I could turn around to see the man's face I felt a cold, hard rod hit me on the head. I fell to the ground. I struggled to stay awake, but it was too hard. 

"Aah!"

I lost consciousness...
