~Annabel~

I tried my best to remain calm. Carlos was not Carlos. He was something much more evil. Much more sinister. It took all I had not to book it out of there. I knew he'd catch me anyways. I was up shit creek.

"H-Heyy Carlos." His grin grew impossibly bigger as I grew more uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" He leaned closer to me and I flinched.

"No." I managed to get out without stuttering.

In all honesty, I was terrified. And I'm pretty sure he could sense it. His hand reached up and tangled itself in my hair. His face moved so it was mere inches from mine.

"I think you are. But that's good. It makes things more... Fun." His lips brushed against mine and I tried to control the bile that threatened to rise in my throat.

I breathed out, shuttering as he pulled away and dropped his hand. He slowly walked backwards, not taking his eyes off me.

"By the way Annabel. Don't tell your little lover boy about me. In fact, don't tell anyone. If you do, trust me, I'll find out. We wouldn't want daddy to get hurt, would we?" My eyes grew wide at the realization.

He threatened to hurt my dad if I told anyone about him. Especially Riz, who was the only one that could help. I wanted to cry, but I held back the tears. Carlos shot me one last wink before turning and walking away. I was stunned. What do I do now?

"Annabel?" I jumped and relaxed when I saw Kasey walking towards me.

"Y-yeah?" I was mentally praying she wouldn't hear the panic in my voice.

"What happened? You've been here for a few weeks and you're still getting lost. Come on, Mrs. Hanes is waiting for us." Mrs. Hanes was my History teacher, and boy was she a bundle of joy.

Not.

I sighed and tried to calm myself. My anxiety was threatening to push itself to the surface, and I knew that if I allowed it to, it would be quite obvious. Kasey dragged me down the corridor until we arrived in front of the classroom door. She gave me a reassuring smile before leading me in.

"Ah, Ms. Smith. Nice to finally be greeted with your presence. Please take a seat. And don't make a habit of interrupting my class." Mrs. Hanes shot me a glare before going back to her teaching.

I slowly made my way towards the back and felt a gaze on me. I lifted my eyes and they met familiar orange ones. He was giving me an amused smirk but it slowly slipped off his face. I mentally panicked, thinking he found something out by just looking at me. I quickly faked a smile, hoping he'd buy it. His lips slowly curved into a grin as I plopped down beside him.

'Get lost did we?' His lips didn't move, so I knew he was talking in my head.

The problem with that was, I couldn't respond mentally because he promised he wouldn't read my mind anymore. I nodded and tried my best to listen to the lecture at the front.

'Is something wrong? You seem a little... Tense.' I quickly shook my head no.

"Don't lie to me, Annabel." This time he whispered in my ear.

I wanted to tell him. I wanted to tell him so bad. But when I looked towards my left, my eyes met black ones. Carlos. Or... Whatever he was. He shot me a knowing look and a shiver wracked through my body.
