Chapter 12: Notes

The walk home was just full of thoughts, and pictures of Alek's expressions. His tears. His smiles. His kisses. But after helping Alek get through all the painful memories, there was still some questions left, and the most important one: how could his parents write the note, if they were murdered? I mean how? Unless the figure itself wrote it to trick Alek, I can't imagine who else it could be. This I had to ask him.Once I got home, I handed my mother the bucket full of wood.

"Wow that's a lot of wood there darling!" My mum said.

"Yeah, well I'm just going upstairs" I replied.

"Wait. Why were you so long?"

"I was collecting the wood of course. And erm... Chopping it"

"Well these are very neat ones, you chopped them yourself?"

"Yes"

"Okay then, I will know who to ask next time"

I smiled back innocently to my mum, and climbed up the creaky staircase. I had to stop lying I thought. One day Alek wouldn't be a secret. One day they will find out. But then I realised this wasn't the main situation. The main situation was to find a note lying on the desktop. A note with the same scripted letters engraved into the paper. I unfolded the it and began to read:

'Alek is with me. Come to the forest at midnight tomorrow if you ever want to see him again.'

I screamed.

"No! Not Alek. No!"

And falling onto the bed I began crying into the pillow. I could see his face and his smile. But now he was probably captured and imprisoned in a cell with guards whipping him more and more. I could hear his moans calling out to me. I could see his in-pained face, his tears. And the murderer laughing. It was the worst image I could picture. But at that moment I didn't know my mum was picturing me here.

"Natasha?" She asked.

I turned to face her, and wiped my tears, before snatching the note into my pocket.

"Who's Alek?" My mother continued.

"It's nothing" I said.

"Oh I can see nothing is wrong! Don't lie to me. Tell me sweetheart"

"Mum it's a guy"

"Oh love is it. Did he break up with you?"

"No! I mean Yes!" I was lying again, but there was no reason why I shouldn't because if she knew the whole story... I would be dead by now.

"Oh sweetheart. There are so many more guys out there! Look at you. That beautiful brown hair, those blue eyes who couldn't fall for you?"

I had to pretend to calm down.

"Thanks mum"

"Now come on, I'll make you a cup of tea and you can tell me about it"

"I don't want to"

"Fine. But at least have a cup of tea"

Then my mother stroked my hair, and went downstairs to make the cup of tea. She was such a lovely mum, without her I would probably be nothing. But now, I had another mission to complete. I will get Alek back. I would go at midnight tomorrow, and take on who ever it was to save Alek. He was not going anywhere. Alek was mine.
