Current Location: The hallway of the cabinEverything started moving super-fast and extremely slow at the same time. We all stealthily moved to the hallway where there were no windows. Kyle pulling Macs body along with us. It was a pointless effort though, anyone with eyes could see Mac was dead and there was no saving him. After we all took Shelter in the hallway Kyle slowly located the window the arrow came through. It turned out it was from the kitchen window, and with that line of site only Mac would have been visible. I quickly called Shane so I could warn him about what just happened and to keep the children away.Shane luckily was visiting his mother’s sister so he would not be back until around seven p.m. I did not tell him what had happened because I did not want to worry him prematurely. If he found out now, he would drop everything, and rush home and I wanted to make sure whoever was out there was dealt with first. I was startled by a knock at the front door and a man start
Current Location: At a small café waiting for my mother to meet me for lunchI was early. I hated having to wait around it gave me too much time in my own head. I was already on my third cup of coffee. I could have waited around at the cabin, but I was too jittery to do so. I wound up showing up around an hour early to meet my mother and the conversation I had with Ruby yesterday kept running through my mind.“Ruby what are you talking about? I have not spoken to Shelly other than to confront her about Spencer being her brother.” Ruby snarled into the phone. “She claims you set me up at work that is why I now have criminal charges pending against me. Shelly also said the bachelorette party was all your doing and you hired the man to take those pictures of Derek and me!” I fanned ignorance, “What the fuck? Has she completely lost her mind? What type of sick and twisted shit does this chick think I am capable of? I swear Ruby I had nothing to do with any of it. I have been the one who h
Current Location: My cabin in my bedroom waiting for Natasha to show up for dinnerWell, here we are dear reader. After what I write down here today you will be all caught up with everything that has happened so far. Moana is downstairs in the kitchen making a huge meal while I await Natasha’s arrival. I asked Moana to make all of Natasha’s favorite dishes she is in for a real treat tonight. And since I have to wait around, I will fill you in on what transpired today. Since Natasha is due to be here in about forty minutes or so I should have just enough time to jot down all the details of today.I woke up to an empty house. Shane told me last night he had to leave a bit early for work and Moana left a note saying she went ahead and took the kids to school for me so I could catch up on some much-needed rest. I was grateful, it was one less task for me to do today. I went into the bathroom to take a shower, I felt like I had not had one in ages. I was about halfway through with my showe
Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Natasha Greene, and I am Emma White’s best friend. She wrote enough about me that you probably already know who I am. I am sure you were expecting her to keep you up to date on what was going on in her life but sadly that is not possible. Emma and I have been best friends for all of our lives, and I would do anything for her. I came across this book she was writing and of course I read it all. I knew most of it already, yet it was a good refresher for me after everything that has happened. Emma’s last entry was a few weeks ago so I have much to catch you up on. I think Emma would have wanted me to continue writing for her since the problems with Ruby did not stop with just her. I am not as good at keeping track of locations like she is so there will be none of that with my entry’s, but I am sure you will be able to keep up with me either way. It came as a shock to me that Emma transferred so much money into my account. I was touched that sh
I pulled up in front of the cabin that Emma now resided in. It was beautiful. There were so many different flowers surrounding the property. Roses, tulips, sun flowers, and lily’s all in different colors. They complimented the light tans and red of the cabin. I could stay outside staring at this scene all day. I waited a few more minutes taking in the scenery before exiting my Camaro and heading to Emma’s door. I knocked three times and waited. A woman I did not know answered the door. “You must be Miss Greene. Miss White has been expecting you. She should be down any minute. I am Moana if you need anything feel free to ask. Mr. Shane and his children are currently in the living room if you would like to join them.” I smiled politely thanked her and headed to the living room. Shane greeted me with a smile and a hug. “It is so good to see you, Natasha. It has been way to long. Thank you for joining us for dinner tonight. Emma could really use a good time after all she has been through
We were all in shock at what Ruby just did. Molly started screaming and Austin ran from the room. It looked as though Emma was rushing over to Shane, but she went behind him. It was only than that I noticed Carter lying on the floor covered in blood. “What the fuck did you do Ruby? You stupid bitch! You shot Carter. How could you come into the place your children are at and open fire?” Emma screamed at Ruby.Ruby was looking between Shane and her son in horror. Shane was alive and clutching on to his hip where the bullet struck him. Upon hearing what Emma said Shane lashed out in anger at Ruby. “Attacking me is one thing, but that is your son Ruby! Why would you do this. MOANA call an ambulance.” Ruby whistled and a man came in out of nowhere. “Whoever else is in this house needs to be contained. Please be gentle with my children, they are innocent in all this. Do not let them call for help got it!” The man nodded to Ruby and disappeared as quickly as he arrived.I tried to reason wit
A few hours later I was sitting in the waiting room of Central Union hospital awaiting on a Dr. Marsh to tell me the status of Emma’s condition. Kyle’s men cleared out from the cabin, and I called the police to report Carters death and who was behind it. Kyle and his men took the bodies of Rubys falling men I did not ask what they planned to do with them. I did not want to know, and I made sure to leave them out of my report to the police. The police department had ordered a city-wide man hunt on Ruby. Wherever she escaped to she would not be safe for long. That did not matter to me at the moment. The only thing I cared about was weather Emma was going to be okay or not. I sat there counting the tiles on the hospital walls just so my mind was not idle, and it would not go on a downward spiral of worry for the woman who I considered a sister. When the doctor finally came out, he had a grim look on his face. “Please Dr. Marsh do not sugar coat it how bad is it.” He gave me a reassurin
I started packing the kids’ belongings to move to the new house. There was not much clothing but there was an abundance of toys. This had to be Emma’s doing. When that girl shops she can not help herself from over doing it. I had just finished packing up the minivan Kyle lent me. Let’s face it a Camaro could not hold the three of us and all this stuff. I will miss using my car, but it is worth the sacrifice to keep these kids safe. I had just enough time to drop the children and Moana off at the new house before I was due to meet Kenny for dinner.I was not sure who he was, and I was a little skeptical of his motives for wanting to meet. But if he could possibly help me track down Ruby it would be well worth it. I decided while I was in the hospital awaiting Emma’s results, they I will do everything in my power to finish what she started. I even thought about making a new bank account in Ruby’s name and sending the embezzled funs to it, but I know that is not what Emma would have want
