BREAKING NEWS: The man responsible for the brutal murder of three teenage boys at Willow Park has escaped custody. Authorities urge everyone to remain indoors and vigilant.
You slam the TV off with a trembling hand, your breath catching in your throat. Not him. Not again.
The same monster who stole the lives of the boys you once tried to love. The same monster who’s always had his eyes on you.
You bolt up, locking every door, every window, checking them twice.
Then, a jagged breeze curls in from the cracked glass of your window—shattered from the outside.
Your body freezes. Before you can scream, everything goes black.
You come to slowly—your head throbbing, vision swimming. There’s a dull, metallic chains tight around your wrists.
You’re in the passenger seat and...he’s driving. Laurence.
The streetlights flash across his face like a strobe—sharp jaw, dead eyes, a twisted smile curling his lips.
"Shhh..." he murmurs, voice low and syrupy. "Just relax, darling."
He glances at you, that same hunger in his gaze. "I told you... I’d make you mine."
