Ellie's P.O.V

Scared.

That was the feeling I was currently enduring since yesterday. After I found the letter I completely freaked out and rushed to my room.

I remember having a panic attack and me passing out. I woke up with my mom shaking me. She was quite worried and asked me what happen and if I was alright since she found me laying on the floor unconscious.

I told her I was fine and was just feeling tired and so she didn't question me anymore and left me alone but not before asking if I wanted to eat dinner which I declined.

I didn't get a sleep last night because I was scared that whoever wrote that letter might kidnap me in my sleep or worse. So, I just layed in my bed waiting for the sunrise to arrived.

Todd's voice made me snap out of my thoughts.

"You're doing it again." Todd pointed out as we both sat at our history class.

"Doing what?" I answered blankly.

"Spacing out. Are you okay? If this is about me ditching you then I'm really sorry." Todd said worriedly.

I gave him a small smile," No. It's okay. I completely understand. I just have a lot in mind." I answered truthfully.

"Like what?" He asked.

"If I'm gonna buy the puppy that I saw yesterday." I lied before turning my attention to the board.

I feel horrible already for lying but I can't just get myself to tell him about the letter. I keep convincing myself that probably it was just a prank made by some kids but what if it isn't?

"Oh. Well, You should because dogs are great companions." Todd answered.

I gave him a small smile which he frowned.

"You look tired Ellie. Are you sure you're okay?" He asked with knitted brows.

"Yes." I said forcing out a smile.

"Your eyebags are telling me the complete opposite." He stated before giving me a pointed look.

"I'm fine." I assured. I wasn't even sure who I was convincing. Todd or myself.

The rest of the class passed by Todd and me making small talks. When the bell rang I immediately stood up and took off not waiting for Todd.

I don't want to meet paths with one of the badboys. I've been avoiding all of them since earlier and I'm doing a pretty good job.
I made my way to the library and hid in my special place.

It was at the last row of book shelves and was kinda deserted since it was consist of books that aren't important much. There was a small bean bag and a small table that I put there.

I was a volunteer last year here at the library. The librarian whose name is Vivian is close friend of mine told me that It was okay if I put some table and chairs in there since no one really enters that row of selection.

I let out a sigh of relief before opening my bag and taking out my lunch which is a turkey sandwhich and some orange juice. I ate silently while cautiously looking at my surroundings.

My phone suddenly rang making me jump in surprise and choke on my food. I let out a small gasp of breath once I manage to get rid of my choking.

Looking at the caller, I saw it was Todd and ignored it after a few rings it stopped. My phone beeped indicating it was a text message.

It was from an unknown number. My brows knitted in confusion.

I have eyes everywhere.
-S

My eyes widen in horror before I scanned the row of book shelves and peeked out abit to see if someone was there but I was only greeted by Vivian reading silently. I hastily stood up and packed my lunch. I rushed out of the library with a heart thumping wildly.

My feet felt like jelly and my breaths came in pants. My hands started to shake and my eyesight became blurry. Leaning on to some locker. Cold sweat started to form on my forehead and I tried to catch my breath.

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.

After a few minues of doing that. I sucessfully catched my breath but I can still feel my hands shaking in fear. Suddenly, A hand clamped unto my shoulder making me let out startled scream.

"Woah. Calm down Red. It's just me." Chase voice immediately calmed me down a bit.

"I-I'm sorry. You just startled me." I said avoiding eye contact with him.

"Are you okay? You look like you're gonna passed out." He asked.

"No. No. I'm okay. Just not feeling well." I half lied.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yes. I'm sure. Now can you please leave me alone." I snapped annoyed with him asking too much questions.

He gave me a surprised look.

Turning my heel on him, I decided to go to my next class since there's only 15 minutes left and it wouldn't be bad if I attend the class early.

Turning around the corner a hand suddenly clamped down not on my shoulder but on my mouth and was pulled in the janitor's closet. I started to kick and thrash until I felt a cold sharp metal pointing at my neck.

Knife.

"If I were you I'd stop doing that." An unfamiliar voice said as He unclamped his hand from my mouth but his other hand was pointing the knife at my neck.

Tears sprung to my eyes,"Wh-What do you want from me?" I asked as I try to prevent my tears from falling.

"You." He answered.

I choked on a sob," Why m-me?" I asked.

"Because you my dear happened to have a little gang leader wrapped around your tiny finger." He answered before letting out a dark chuckle.

"I-I don't know who you're talking about." I said as started to sob.

His gripped on my waist tighten to the point that it hurts,"You know well what I'm talking about little girl." He snarled at me applying a little bit of pressure to the knife.

"P-please don't hurt me. I don't know what you're talking about. You must've got the wrong girl." I said as I squirmed in his tight gripped.

"Don't play innocent on me little girl." He said annoyed.

I cried harder than before and my breath came into pants. My hands started to shake.

He let out a sigh,"Stupid girl. I'll be coming to get you in a few days and remember don't tell anyone about this or else it wouldn't turn out good on you." He threatened darkly before pushing me out on the janitor's closet.

I immediately stood up and ran away. The bell had rang a little while ago making the hallway secluded. My eyesight became blurry and my head was greeted with a pounding headache.

I cried out as my knees gave out. My breaths started to turned erratic with my shaking hands I manage to get a hold of my phone and dialed the first person on my speed dials.

It took 3 rings before he answered.

"Ellie? Why are you calling me on class hours?" Alec's worried voice was heard from the other line.

I let out a sob,"P-please help me." I said as black dots started form in my vision.

"What happened? Fuck. Calm down Ellie. Where are you? I'm coming to get you." Alec asked panic clear in his voice.

"Hallway." Was the last thing I remember saying before completely blacking out.
