I woke in a cold sweat. Aubrey was sitting in the chair by my bed anxiously. “Erin, sweetie, are you okay?” I attempted to sit up but he gently pushed me back into my pillow. “Don’t get up, not yet.”

“What the hell was that?” I asked. My brain felt fuzzy, almost like it was operating in thick black sludge. I saw a shelf on my wall was hanging loosely by one nail and a lamp was smashed. What happened there? I wondered. The light hurt my eyes. Aubrey fiddled with the dimmer switch on the other side of the room until the light was bearable. He was right beside me in the blink of an eye.

He kissed my forehead. “I don’t know, but your fever is dangerously high. We’ll reschedule dinner with Paz for the week after next.”

“No, I told him we won’t have to do that!” I exclaimed, bolting upright. My head spun and I nearly fell out of bed. Aubrey caught me and held me close to him.

“You are not risking your health, Erin. I mean it.” He said sternly. “Your fever is one hundred and three.”

I sighed. “I should call to apologize.”

He handed me my phone. “He already knows, but your phone was ringing off the hook with text messages earlier. I didn’t read a single one, I promise.”

Smiling at his honesty, I tapped into my messages. Three from Amber, pictures of different dress ideas. One from Topaz, wishing me a speedy recovery. One from an unknown number.

I’m coming, little girl.

Aubrey caught my phone as it fell to the floor. “Erin?”

“I got a text from someone I don’t know. It…it said…” My mouth was dry and I couldn’t stop shaking as my mind went to the image from my dream of Kistel laughing at me. “It was him…”

Aubrey tensed and looked at the message. He went whiter than bone. “Oh God…” He held my phone as if it were a dangerous predator, tapped it twice, and held it to his ear. Whoever he was calling picked up and said something.

“What?” I asked, taking it from him and placing it on speaker. Familiar, bone-chilling laughter answered me.

“Hello, little girl.”
