My brother and I made our way down the the stone path that connected each house in the estate.
~~~
I held the letter tightly in my hand, causing my knuckles to turn white from the pressure of my tight grip. For some reason, my heart was beating more rapidly than usual and I wasn't sure why, but I had this nagging feeling that something bad was going to happen. I didn't tell Alex as I knew he had a lot on his mind from all these strange and ominous happenings. I turned my head to the right when I heard the sound of feet running towards my brother and I.  I was met with Violet smiling the same vibrant smile.

"Hey, Brook!" Violet said while jumping over a small flower bed to get to us.

"Hey, Violet" I replied.

"So, are you going anywhere in particular?"

"Well, we are going to the library", my brother answered.

Violet tilted her head, causing the sun to reflect into her sky blue eyes.

"And, what's your name?"

"Oh, my name is Alexander, but you can call me Alex", my brother said, while shaking Violet's hand and smiling.

"Do you know where the library is?", I asked her as she turned around to face me.

"Oh, yes I do. ,I can show you the way as I need to return this book".

Violet then proceeded to pull out a book from her red velvet satchel.
"Do you like Stephen King books?" She questioned me.
"Yes I do; I really enjoy 'IT''', I replied in an inspired tone.
"Oh, I love 'IT' and 'The Shining' '', Violet said with stars in her eyes.

"Sorry to break the bonding moment, but we do need to get to the library", my brother said, while tapping his foot against the ground, it was a habit of his when he became inpatient.

"Oh, yes, follow me", Violet said, turning around and skipping down the pavement. And, with that, we made our way to the library.
~~~
After five minutes, the library came into view.
The outskirt of the building was well appointed and the building was made up of brownstone with a hue of red-brown. There were two large glass pane doors with posters attached to them advertising different competitions, companies and books. As we entered the library, there was a smell of paper and books. The library had a labyrinthine look to it, complete with shelves upon shelves of different types of books. The library was well furnished with oak wood shelves, along with a seating area in which you could study or read. In the far left corner, there were many oakwood desks with different brands of laptops on them. The floor was carpeted and had a cool grey look to it with a blue hue. Altogether the place was looked after and had a calming Aura to it.

Violet walked up to the secretary and handed in her book. She then turned round to us and said she was going to look for another book. And, with that, she disappeared into the labyrinth of books.

"OK, where will we start?" my brother questioned me.

"We should start by looking online and, if we can't find any answers, we will resort to the books".

"OK, that does sound like a plan", my brother said. He gave me a toothy grin and I just nodded.
~~~
Twenty minutes passed and with no luck finding anything,  my brother and I decided to take a break. Violet had already selected her book and was seated in one of the chairs reading. I decided to log into my Facebook account and check if I had any notifications before I went back to searching for any clues on what the letter meant.

I was liking someone's post when a notification popped up. When I clicked on it, I was a little disturbed by the content of the texts.
Messages..
"You know I've always known what you do and where you go. I've always admired from afar but now... you're gone.....but that won't stop me.... you will be mine..."

"If I can't have you, no one will"
"I have an idea...."

"Lets play a game....."

"Here are the rules

There will be a package for you,
1 When you get it, open it
2 talk to it
3 you will know what to say once you get the package
4 sacrifice a living thing, but if you don't want to, give it something of yours to posses
5 say its name three times in a mirror in a dark room
6 give it what it wants"
"DON'T ANGER IT"

I ended up taking a picture of the texts and blocking the mystery profile and logged out of Facebook. I then switched the computer off and started looking for any book which might be able to help me. As I was about to go look at the next shelf of books, Alex came running over with an old looking book in his hand.
" can I see the letter?"

"Sure"

My brother took the letter from me and proceeded to open the old musty book.
"Look", my brother said pointing to a particular page.

"The words look so similar to the letter, don't they?"

I looked over my brother's shoulder to confirm he was right. In my opinion, the book looked like an encyclopaedia. My brother then proceeded to search for certain words.

"Brook, can you get some paper?"

"Sure". And, with that, I made my way to the printer and took out a page and gave it to my brother.
It had been only a couple of minutes when my brother turned around and handed me the translation of the mystery letter.
My hands were shaking in anticipation of what was in the letter. The letter read
I heard you are moving away..from such a beautiful place. But, wherever you go, I will always be there in some shape or form....
Lots of love w...
I read the letter again to make sure I was reading it correctly, and that's when it hit!

"The ominous account on Facebook"
"What are you talking about?", my brother said in a puzzled tone.

I looked my brother in the eye and I showed him the picture of the texts while I told him about this mysterious account that was texting me.
"I believe the mysterious account is the same person that wrote the letter. What do you think?"

"I believe you may be right", my brother said, nodding in agreement.

"If you ever get any more texts like that again, I think it would be a good idea to tell our parents".
I was a bit hesitant, but I agreed.

Violet, Alex and I said our thanks to the secretary and left. On our way home, I began to feel uneasy as if something was watching me, but I decided to ignore it. I began to feel light headed and thought maybe i was coming down with flu.
"Brook, are you OK?", Violet asked, with a hint of worry in her voice.

I began to feel dizzy and started to stumble. Before I could fall, my brother caught me.

"My house is nearer, so Brooklyn can rest in my spare bedroom".

Alex wasn't sure if he should as he had only met Violet that day. I grabbed his arm in order to get his attention. I nodded, indicating that it was fine.

I managed to half-walk, half-stumble to Violet's house, but I had the support of my brother to help me.

We made it to Violet's house and I stumbled to her couch and sat down. I closed my eyes and started to rub my temples. I began to feel a migraine coming on. Once I opened my eyes, my vision started to blur and I began to see dots. Then it started to feel like the room was moving.
My vision began to blur even more The last thing I remember seeing was a black silhouette, which was similar to the one I saw in my old bedroom. Then everything went black...
