"Skye come here"

"Follow my voice"

I awoke to a quiet voice saying my name, when my eyes opened I was met with darkness. I couldn't see anything other than black I could hear the faint sounds of footsteps, but I didn't know where they were coming from.

"Skye it's ok, follow my voice" The voice said again, but this time it was more familiar

"Who are you?" I asked the darkness hoping there would be a response

"Skye, follow your heart. Please, just follow your heart"

"Who are you?!" I asked again

"Watch out something's coming for you, please be careful" The voice said again ignoring my question

"What's coming after me?!" I questioned

"Wake up! Skye wake up!" The voice screamed

"What's coming after me?!" I asked again

"Wake up!" The voice screamed again but this time it was more distorted

I quickly turned around trying the find the voice but my vision slowly became blurry again

"Skye run! All you can do is run!" The voice said kindly before everything went darker

*************

"Skye! Come on Skye wake up" A voice said lightly shaking me

"Hand me the towel," It said again before a cold rag was placed on me

"What are we going to do if she doesn't wake up?"

"I don't know, but let's think about that if she doesn't wake up. Come on Skye"

I slightly opened my eyes to see a bright light shining in my eyes, and Levi and Hunter sitting next to me.

"W-What are you guys doing?" I asked slowly sitting up

"Oh thank god!" They said in unison

"What?" I asked confused since all I remembered was talking to Levi up on the roof.

"I came down from the attic and I heard something fall in the bathroom. I opened the bathroom door to see you passed out, and you had scratches on your face, and neck" Levi said helping me to stand up.

"Maybe it was Ally's ghost trying to tell us who killed her" Cole said leaning on the door frame.

"Ghost isn't real dipshit" Levi replied to him

"Then what scratched her? Did she do it herself? I think she killed Ally but is just hiding the truth" Cole said before storming off down the hallway.

I looked into the mirror and noticed that Levi wasn't lying about the scratches. There were light pink scratches everywhere on me.

"I don't know Levi, I think Cole's right," Hunter said looking down at the ground.

"Now you?!" Levi yelled

"I'm sorry Skye, it just seems that way. I mean if Ally's ghost did somehow come back and scratch you, maybe she's trying to tell us that you killed her" Hunter said

"Skye" I heard Gracie ask with a slight break in her voice almost like she's been crying

I looked behind Hunter to see Gracie standing in the doorway of the bathroom.

"What's wrong?" I asked bending down and picking her up

"Samantha woke me up, she told me that she had to show me something. She brought me downstairs to the basement-" She stopped as her eyes started to become glassy

"Then she grew claws and started to scratch me," She said finally starting to cry

"Where did she scratch you?" I asked

Without answering she lifted her long sleeve PJ's up to show big thick red scratched on her arms, she even moved her hair to expose her neck that had scratched as well. I looked over at Tommy and saw that he was just as shocked as me.

"Ok," I said setting her on the bathroom sink

"Skye, can I talk to you?" Levi asked putting a hand on my arm

"Yeah let me clean these first," I said grabbing the rubbing alcohol, put it on a towel and then put it to her arm

As I was cleaning the ones on her neck she said

"Can I tell you a secret?"

"Sure," I said and leaned my ear by her mouth as she put her hand around her mouth.

"Samantha wanted me to tell you that you should start watching your back and be very careful when you're on the roof."

When she told me that my eyes opened wide, looking at myself in the mirror I saw that Levi was confused on why I seemed sacred.

"Ok, go on to your room Gracie," I said helping her down.

"Ok bye!" She said running back to her room.

"Skye, are you ok? You seem like you just seen a ghost" Levi asked putting his right hand on my shoulder

"N-No I'm fine Gracie just told me something weird," I said and started walking out of the bathroom."Where is Cole?"

"Why do you care about him?" Levi asked rudely

"He's mean to me but he's going through a loss just like I am, he doesn't any of to" I defended

Right after those words left my mouth I heard something fall down the stairs

"What was that?" Levi asked looking at me. 

Without answering him I sprinted towards the stairs to see who or what had fallen.

As we reached the top of the stairs I looked down past the railing to see a person lying at the bottom staircase.

"Oh god," I said quickly as I sprinted down the staircase.

Once I reached the bottom I realized who the person was. Cole.
