Chapter 4:

Who’s Next?

 Lucinda is on her bed in the hospital, and then her friends come in, it was Sarah, Anthony, Deion and Marcus. “Hey sweetie” Sarah says to her, but she sees her blank expression. “Lucinda, what’s wrong?” she asked her but her face was filled with terror. “He sent me a text” she said to them, then her mother wakes up “Lucinda are you okay?” she asked and she does not respond, “can you all stay with her, I’m going to go and get the nurse” her mother leaves.

“Guys, he sent me a text?” she says to them

“Who?” Deion asked her

“The man who tried to kill me” she said to him

“I thought he was dead, the news said he died in the fire” Anthony said to her, but she showed them her phone and the message.

“They didn’t find a body” Marcus said to him

“So he could still be out there, we gotta tell the police” Sarah said to them

“And tell them what, what are they really going to do?” Lucinda asked her, Sarah looks at her, and she tries to shake off the fear.

“I think he’s after all of us” Marcus said outloud

“Why?” Sarah asked him, as the fear came right back to her spine.

 Marcus takes out his phone and shows them the messages he has received, “she saved you this time, but will you be able to do the same?” Lucinda reads it, and finds Destiny’s name at end of it. “Destiny sent this” she said. “Destiny is dead, we seen her body” Marcus said to her “then whoever is doing this must have her phone” Deion said as he checked his phone to find an unread message.

 “How do we know, he is after all of us?” Anthony asked them. “I don’t know, but it feels like he is” Marcus said to him “this same person killed Destiny and her mom, then tried to kill Marcus, but then he tried to kill Allen and then he tried to kill me” Lucinda said. “Why?” Deion asked as he sat in the corner. “That is the real question” Anthony answered, but then Lucinda looks at her phone, “that’s not the question, the question is…who is next?” Lucinda said as he mother is right outside the door listening.
