Welcome to new readers, try chap. one and two. Thank you for reading from the beginning, Kristine and Kayleigh.
For the rest of our ride Alicia wouldn't stop asking me questions about my secret assailant.
"Are you really going to meet him? Do you have any idea who he is? How does he know your name? Why didn't you run away in the forest? What does he want with you? Why won't he show you who he is?!?" she asked.
"I DON'T KNOW!!" I shouted, but then I immediately apologized and said, "Sorry for yelling but I am just as confused as you are right now so don't ask anymore questions."
When we got home we went to the basement and played Wii and talked about our plan for when I was supposed to meet my mystery assailant. We then figured out that Alicia would be in my room with the window open and the lights off listening to our conversation and watching what happens. She was not supposed to speak and we thought it would be best if she tried not to move either.
I looked at the clock on the DVD player. 10:27 pm. My parents should be going to bed any minute now. Right after I thought that, my mom poked her head in the basement and said, " Emily, your dad and I are going to bed now. Are you girls sleeping down there?"
"No," I responded, "We'll be sleeping in my room."
"Okay good night!"
"Love you, 'night!"
Alicia and I went upstairs and got dressed in our PJs just in case my mom came in to check on us and wondered what we were doing. At 11:30 pm Alicia shut off the light and opened the window. I grabbed a flashlight and snuck down the stairs hoping that they wouldn't creak.
I left out the side door on the garage and went around to the front of the house. I turned on the flashlight and saw a figure clad in black sitting on the steps in front of the second front door. "James?" I called out quietly. The figure rose and came toward me.
"Shhh," he said while still walking towards me. "Let's just sit on the steps and talk for a second." I did what he asked and followed him back to the steps and sat down next to him. James smelled faintly of a warm amber scent. "This is going to be really weird and really hard but I want to get to know you better and be your friend."
"Ummm, okay I guess?" I replied. "You are one of the strangest people I've ever met. I mean who greets someone by sneaking up on them in a forest and holding their hands behind their back?"
James laughed aloud and said, "Well apparently I do but can we just move on from that now?"
"Fine. What do you even want to talk about?" I asked.
"How about we start with stuff about you and then I will tell you a bit about myself," responded James.
"Okay, as you already somehow know, my name is Emily. My birthday is in August and I am 17 years old. I have lived here for two years and I go to Battlefield High School. I have a sister named, Isabelle who is 14 years old. I am in the Marching Band at school and I play flute in concert band and piccolo in the marching band. I like Harry Potter and animals and music. So yeah, that's basically me."
"I can't tell you my real name yet, so for now you are calling me James. I am 19 years old and my birthday is in September. I like singing and I am actually pretty good at it. I'm not going to tell you anything else right now out of fear that you might guess who I am."
"Why can't I know who you are?"
"You wouldn't understand if I told you why right now."
" You are so full of mysteries. You seem to mean well so I will try to get to know you to, if you'll let me. Right now you aren't saying much."
"Alright. Do you want to go on a walk around the neighborhood?"
"Sure! I love walking in the dark!"
But then I heard out of the window above us, "Emily!! Don't go anywhere alone with him!" And James took off at a full sprint down the road.
"Alicia! Look what you've done!" I screamed. I sat down on the steps frustrated and noticed a piece of paper on the concrete beside me. I quickly unfolded it and read it.
Dear Emily,
If you are reading this, somehow our meeting was interrupted or you chose not to come meet me. Which ever one it was I want you to come to Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens Williamsburg this Saturday night at 6:00pm. Meet me in front of Griffon. Here is enough money to pay for a ticket in case you don't have a season pass already. I hope to see you there.
Best Regards,
James

Madison's P.O.V
I went weak at the knees when I saw Niall and Harry go to choose. We were laughing and talking when Harry sees the marks. I quickly pulled down my sleeve he looked at me in concern. I looked away"MADISION GET YOU'RE LAZY UGLY BUTT OVER HERE OR YOU LNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!" . Fear and pain hit me. I walked when someone grabs my hand and slip a number in my hand and another in my other. I walked but then my mom came bolting out with a bat. "HEY WHAT DID I TELL YOU" she says yanking my hair and hits me at the side and on my arms. I scream and the most embarrassed part was they were still their. "ple-ese stop I'm sorry" I say blood coming from my legs and arms.she goes inside laughing and my new dad to. I lay their crying the whole time. "here let me help" I look up and see Harry and Niall I get confused who to choose.
