Chapter 17

Emily felt lightheaded, and all she wanted to do was fall asleep, but she was not ready to do that. If she went to sleep it could mean that she would never wake up again, and she was not prepared to die. The adrenaline rush she’d had all this time was wearing off, and she knew she was about to crash. Her heart rate had decreased, and her will to escape was diminishing. It was also more than possible that she was running out of air.

Breathing deeply through her nose, she could not find another way to get over this. She was uncertain about how deep she was buried, and she doubted anyone would come. This was all about the case, she told herself. They were getting too close to the sun, and she got burned. She only wondered what had happened to David.

Pushing him out of her head, she did not want to think of him. He was delightful to have around, but she was not what he wanted. During the course of working together, she developed feelings, and she shouldn’t have. He was her boss, and she was just his assistant, and they would never be more than that. She shook her head. She should not be driving herself crazy over some man. All men were the same. They disappoint you.

Closing her eyes, she was thinking back on happier times before her life had not flipped itself upside down. She remembered how happy and carefree she had been, but now she was haunted by her name. As she was beginning to lose herself within her thoughts, she heard something above her.

“Emily,” she heard someone call. “Emily, hang on!”

David? No that was impossible, but she was more than hopeful. She heard as the shovel hit the coffin in which she was contained. She was going to be free from this hell. Her heart was beginning to race, and she heard the splintering of the wood.

Suddenly she could smell the fresh air of the night. Soon, she was being taken out of the coffin, but when she looked to his face, she saw it was not David, but Tom. He seemed to be relieved to see her there.

“Emily, are you okay?”

Words were not coming easily to her, and she shook her head. She did not feel right, and he nodded. “I will get you to the hospital, alright?”

Nodding, she felt as he lifted and then carried her. The pain she had felt earlier was gone, and it seemed as if her entire body was going numb. She was not too sure what was happening now, but she did wonder why Tom was there. How did he find her? Was he somehow involved? No, she thought to herself firmly. Tom was surely not involved. There was something more going on, and she was going to get the bottom of it.

They had been following behind Olivia for a while now, and she couldn’t help but wonder where her sister was going. Isaac glanced over at her.
