Ali dropped the phone down to the ground as her face turned white. Richard was already there. "Ali, what's wrong?" Tara said scared at Ali's expression from the phone. Ali back away and she couldn't release her eyes from the window. He could see her, and she could not see him and that frightened her. She eventually ran into the wall next to the stairs. "He can see us, all of us." She barely excaped through her mouth. Ike and Tara both had, had their backs to the window when their eyes opened wide. "Got up stairs, grab Taylor and leave. Sneak out of the back door and run." Tara was practically crying from terror and Isaac just sort of froze. Neither one of them was about to answer knowing that their was some mad killer watching their every move. "Wink if you understand." Tara winked and then Ike followed. "Go . . . now!" Tara casually walked up stairs and Isaac followed. Ali continued to stare out the window. She slowly and carefully inched her way towards the phone lying on the ground. "So nice of you to pick up." Ali tried her best to stay calm but nothing was really helping. "What do you want?" She said sternly trying to hide the fear in her voice. "I want you, Aleka. You know way too much for my liking." "There are others you know. Others that know of you. You may take me down, Richard, but you will be caught." Ali's anger only flared more every moment Richard breathed. "I promise you will die." Suddenly there was a dead line. Richard was on the move. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Tara and Ike ran down the houses through the woods as fast as their feet would carry them. They couldn't hear footsteps behind them as they approached Bruce's house. Tara began to bang on the door still scared out of her witz. Finally Bruce's lights came on and he opened the door. "Move out of the way!" Tara yelled as she shoved Bruce out of the way and ran int othe house with Isaace hot on her heels. The two slamed the door shut and bolted it before catching their breath. "What's going on?" Bruce said to them. Tara just slid down the door and started to cry into her knees. Ike quickly put his arms around her and took a seat next to her. "Richard is at the house." Bruce looked stunned. "Where's Taylor? Wasn't he with you?" Bruce answered back. He figured Ali could handal herself until help arrived but Taylor couldn't. Isaac looked at Tara before looking back up at Bruce. "He wouldn't leave." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Ali slowly climbed the stairs to the mid level of the house. The back door swung openly meaning Ike and Tara had left, but she didn't knw if Richard was in the house or not. Ali then started to walk to the door when there was a loud shatter of glass. In rolled Richard into the living room right before Ali. Richard rose to his feet pointing his gun at her. The glass had ripped holes in his coat and cut him by his left eye but he obviously was not bothered. Richard said. Richard was a man in his late twenties with brown hair and blue eyes. He looked fairly normal with the exception of his screwed up mind. "So, we meet Aleka." Rich ard said not bothering to take a free shot at Ali. "Unforunately, you mean." Ali retaliated. Neither of them backing down, but he with a weapen.. "You know, your mother never put up a fight when she died. Maybe you should follow in her footsteps." Ali began to tense up with anger and tears of anger spilled over her eyes. "Leave my mother out of this." She answered back. Richard teased her even further only aggrivating her more and more. "Why leave her out? The whole reason you want me dead is because of what I did to your mother." "You know your right. The reason I want you dead is because your a fucking murder, Richard." Ali screamed back at him. This was no time to tease. "Tisk, Tisk. Aleka, you'll never understand will you. Let's just end this whole sharade nicely with you joining your mother in hell." Richard tilted his gun at Ali's head as a sudden figure lunged at Richard knocking him over. "TAYLOR!"
