Someone has taken Julian. That someone being Zara, my high school enemy who is going after everyone I love. Then the flood begins.
N O W
Before I make a stupid decision to barricade the house and go upstairs, I run for the window. I have to make sure if it's safe to run out somewhere far from my home. Nope, it's flooded over the ledges. I decide to put some spare bricks from the garage into the door cracks and flee to the attic, taking my portable electronics, a small suitcase full of clothes, and our wedding photo album.
I walk up the stairs and I find Julian waiting for me. I run to him.
"Julian!" I exclaim.
"Rachel! This was the first place I thought of after my escape. I came here. I climbed up the window just now. Oh my gosh, you don't know how happy I am to see you safe."
he says in a sweet tone.
"Same here. It's Zara. She's angry at me" I say.
"I know. She's..... a shadow" he says sadly.
"I thought so....... What now??" I reply.
"We defeat her" he says.
"How?" I ask.
"I have been trapped in shadows before. I know for a fact, that Zara is wanted there. If I take her there, they'll give me my freedom" he says.
"How are you going to do that? She will not let you find her. I guarantee" I say in a serious tone.
"If she is going after me. I'll wait for her to come" says Julian.
"Wait.. are you manipulating me? Im not going to let you be the bait." I say in a worried tone.
A LOUD NOISE
"Did you hear that?" I ask panicking.
"Nah. DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT HEAR HOW LOUD IT WAS?" yells Julian. I stumble backwards.
"Im.. im sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." he takes me and embraces me. "I would love to cuddle now but I think Zara is here. Rachel. Run." I begin to tear slightly.
"NO. I am not leaving you! I saw what happens to people taken and tortured by shadows. Im not letting her do the same to you" I say.
DOOR OPENS
"Well. The two lovebirds still together.... not for much longer." I knew that voice anywhere. Zara.
Julian walks towards her and grabs us both. He reaches for his phone and dials the entry code.
Before I knew it, we were all in Shadows — and Zara was surrounded by Shadows.

Short StoryI look down to my ringing phone to see who was calling. It was Julian, my dead boyfriend. I pick up out of curiosity. "Hello?" I say, in a shaking voice. It couldn't possibly be him. "Oh my gosh, Rachel. I haven't heard from you in a while! I've bee...
