As we walk along the street, chatting about boys, fashion and Mr Cullen, I still can't get that weird feeling that I'm being watched.  I look around, but because the place is so busy, it's hard to pinpoint who it is that might be watching me.  [color=f49ac2][b]"Karrie, do you feel like someone's watching you?"[/b][/color] I ask.  She blinks.

[color=c4df9b][b]"No.  Are you feeling alright?  How are you supposed to feel whether someone's watching you or not?"[/b][/color]  I shrug.

[color=f49ac2][b]"Probably my imagination or something, but I feel like someone's creepily stalking us."[/b][/color]

[color=c4df9b][b]"Let's get home as quickly as we can then," [/b][/color]Karrie smiles.  I nod in response, but don't stop looking around.  I hear footsteps behind us, and stiffen.  The creepy feeling is growing stronger for some reason.  I try to act casually and normally, and I hope it's working for Karrie's sake.  I'm never wrong, but I believe whoever's watching, is dangerous; very dangerous.

A hand touches my shoulder, and it takes everything in me not to jump, squeal or flinch.  I slowly turn my head to look at the person touching me.  Even the touch felt creepy.  I notice a pretty hot guy.  [color=00aeef][b]"Hey, sweetheart.  I saw you just yesterday walking along this road with your friend here, and I kinda fell in love at first sight."[/b][/color]  He grins at me.

I frown and purse my lips, pulling away from him, and standing my ground, my arms crossed against my chest.  Karrie turns to watch what I do.  [color=f49ac2][b]"And what does that have anything to do with me?"[/b][/color] I ask coldly.  His grin was creepy.  Everything about him screamed 'creep' and 'danger'.

[color=00aeef][b]"Well sweetheart, I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me."[/b][/color]

Before I could say anything, Karrie screams [color=c4df9b][b]"Yes!" [/b][/color] Scowling at Karrie, I shake my head.

[color=f49ac2][b]"I'm sorry, but I d-"[/b][/color] I'm cut off with her hand covering my mouth.

[color=c4df9b][b]"She will go with you.  Like now.  Right now." [/b][/color] She shoves me at the guy, and backs away.  [color=c4df9b][b]"See you later, Essie!  Tell me what happens tonight!"[/b][/color]  My jaw drops, as I watch her sprint away after winking and mouthing 'he's hot.'

I sigh, running a hand through my hair.  His grip on me turns bruising.  [color=00aeef][b]"Come with me, if you want your friend to live," [/b][/color]he whispers in my ear.  I freeze, feeling terrified now.  I follow him, as he leads me into an alley.  I feel a prick in my neck, before the world suddenly turns black.
