Chereads / Her Deadly Secret / Chapter 9 - Chapter Eight

Chapter 9 - Chapter Eight

I woke up at about seven'o'clock this morning. It was very hard to go to sleep after reading that text. Now I know someone is after me. I looked at my phone and saw that I had a text and the one from late last night.

'Roses are red, Violets are blue you don't know it yet but your already dead Kisses-X'

Freaky. I don't know if I should tell Maddox about this. I was walking out of the room when I ran into Maddox just coming out of the shower. Towel wrapped around his male region.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were still sleeping." Maddox blushed slightly. Maddox moved around me, going into his room. Closing the door, leaving it cracked so I could talk through.

"S'okay. I have to show you something. I got this creepy text message on my phone last night." I said, taking out my phone and showing him when he came out.

He looked pissed. More shocked than pissed.

"When did you get this?" He asked, very deep in thought.

"Last night before I went to sleep" I told him, voice straining.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, sounding hurt.

"Well you already did so much and I didn't want to bother you and we had just gone to bed." I told him, sounding insecure. I did not want to be on his angry side.

"Violet you didn't have to do that. You can come to me with anything, day or night."

"Thanks"

"Anytime"

Damn he was god awful sexy. Even without a shirt. 'Stop it Violet, you aren't thinking straight' I thought. You should really not be thinking about this, this really is not the right time to be thinking about him like this. Especially when you're going to be sharing the same roof for a while. I really need to get my head straight.

"So what am I supposed to do today?" I asked.

"Well do what ever but you just can't leave the house, not without me. And I have to go to work."

"And why is that?" I asked, feeling a little annoyed.

"Because your safety is my concern. There is a killer on the loose."

"Whatever" I get a little annoyed now a days. No one talks about the effects of grief. Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed or somedays I'm just so over come with a murderous rage that I just cry. I'm working on it okay. I know it's not healthy but honestly I have someone trying to kill me, that's not healthy at all.

"Well then if you will excuse me, I have a report to fill out"

"Okay" It was pretty early still, so I went back to my room. I crawled back into bed, to try and get a little more sleep. Doubtful but I'm still going to try. I was sleeping heavily, I was pulled into a dream. My dreamed pulled me to a dark and secluded forest. I slowly walked forward, into the forest. It was very cold, I could see my breath. As I continued to walk forward, I heard footsteps ahead of me. I continued forward into a clearing, where I saw a woman sitting on the ground, waiting. I walked closer to the woman.

"Hello" I called out. I stopped walking towards her, and proceeded with caution. It appeared to be, she was talking to someone. I went to touch her, when she turned around. As I saw her face, I just screamed. I was being shaken awake. When I opened my eyes they were moist. I was crying. I tried to speak but I couldn't, my throat hurt so bad. The face of that woman was very traumatic.

"Violet are you okay?" Asked Maddox, worry in his eyes.

Still recovering from my nightmare, I shook my head yes.

"What happened?"

"You were screaming really loud and you were also crying" Maddox informed me.

"I'm sorry if I disturbed you" I said feeling guilty for disturbing him.

"No you didn't. I also came to inform you, that I'm off to work. Don't go anywhere, text me if you need anything"

I just broke out in tears. I'm dealing with a lot right now. A killer on the loose, my parents deaths, and Leanne being murdered. It really messes with someone's head wondering if their next or not. I need to go back to my house and continue to look through my fathers things. I feel like a puzzle piece is missing. As I heard the front door close, I got out of bed and started getting dressed. I called a cab to take me to my house. I definitely need to be more alert when going out. Anything could happen. My cab came about twenty minutes later. When I got to my house, I went inside into my fathers study. Thankful, Maddox had someone clean my house since Leanne' murder. I went to the safe, pulling the picture off the wall to reach it. As I opened the safe, I noticed there was nothing in it. That's odd, the last time I was here, it was full of stuff. I shut the safe, looking around his study some more. I went to his bookshelf, peering into his books looking for anything he might've hidden in them. I went to pull the book, only the top part of the book pulled down. The bookcase moved on its own accord. The wall split in half, one side going left, the other right, revealing a hidden room. I moved forward, walking into the room. Once inside, I looked around. There was only a monitor just as big as the wall. I walked over to it and turned it on. It looked to be cameras on the screen. I decided to go through all the computer files in hopes of finding some clue to the secrets my father has been keeping. Coming across a file, titled Violet Delgado. I opened the file, reading everything.
