"Have you started distributing the fliers?"
"Yes sir"
"Good. I want his face everywhere, and even on TV, we wouldn't want him to escape."
"Yes sir"
"Okay, you may leave now"
I stayed up all night reading the journal and I couldn't believe how terrible a man could be. I'm gonna have nightmares for the next month just for reading it, the kidnapping, the murders, I had only seen stuff like that in movies. Like killing people by boiling them, taking out their hearts, imprisoning people in dungeons,and using them for sacrifice. I for one never really believed in supernatural powers or ' beings from the other side ' , but now I do.
I really feel bad for Dave and his family, to think that till three months ago, I didn't even know the Hathaways. I only saw Alexa like three times when I

Alexa's POV"Alexa dear, how are you feeling?""I'm fine mom" I smiled weakly, but I was still wondering why officer gale was with me when I woke up. He looked so concerned about me that one could think that he was related to me. What I saw couldn't be real, could it?"Lexi!!" Chris squeaked happily as he walked in with a girl."Hey Chris" the only person that didn't say anything was Dave, he just stood there, looking at me like he was about to cry. "Don't you have anything to say to me?" I asked, raising my brow."You have no idea how happy I am right now. We have all been so worried about you.""Its good to see you too Dave.""I'm glad to see that you're ok, Alexa" officer gale said, showing less concern than he did earlier."Thanks.""What were you doing here anyway?"

THE PLAYGROUND CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Gale's POVI sat in my chair, smiling to myself still replaying the scene of what happened earlier this morning. On my way to work, I stopped by the hospital to see Lexi and when I was leaving, she gifted me with the best kiss that I'd ever had. It was even better than the one we shared three nights ago.My Lexi was getting better by day, looking even healthier than before. The doctor said she should be able to go home soon and that's good news. I couldn't wait for her to leave the hospital, she'd been cooped up in that room for too long. Walking outside and feeling the sun on her skin could be good for her."May I come in?" Dave said and I almost fell out of my chair. Things have been a little awkward between us since Lexi and I started dating, especially because he doesn't know about it."Oh..I didn't see you there. Come in" I said as I sat up straight.
THE PLAYGROUND CHAPTER ONE.
The fresh air coming from the slightly opened window soothed Alexa Hathaway as she laid gently on her bed.It was another Saturday and Alexa loved Saturdays. She'd say that it was specially created for her to explore the whole of New York, rather than being stuck with their maid Josie, not that she was a bad person. She was a really sweet woman, really sweet but also really boring.That day was no different, she'd tour most places she never had the chance to surf her whole seventeen years. The only thing that bothered her was the old woman that was following her. She remembered when she stopped for ice cream, the woman was there. When she stopped to see her favourite baker, Mr Sloan, the woman was there again. That was when Alexa was certain that the woman was stalking her and it was kinda creepy.
THE PLAYGROUND CHAPTER TWO.
Alexa woke up feeling as confused as ever. She didn't understand what the old woman meant because as far as she knew, she was powerless or as the cheerleaders at school would say completely ordinary and useless, so she didn't understand how she could be powerful. Alexa was still trying to think but was interrupted by a knock on her door."Alexa, come downstairs. Mom and dad wants to talk to us".Chris said from behind the door.Alexa climbed out of her bed and went to open the door."What do they want to talk about?"she asked.Chris shrugged his shoulders and said "How should I know?""Kay,I'll be down in a minute."She took a quick shower and picked out a pair of jeans with a blue shirt with flats and went downstairs. Everyone was gathered at the dining room so she sat down and waited. Her dad cleared his throat and began."I know you're prob

The stranger was your typical bad boy. He looked really cool in his all black outfit and black sneakers, like a dark angel. He was blonde, just like her and he had blue eyes that really sparkled when he smiled."Guys, this is Aiden white, he is my friend from school and he is going to be staying with us till we go back to school....if that's okay with you" Jenny said, smiling."Of course it's okay with us, Aiden, welcome to our home" her mother said.Aiden smiled and looked at Alexa and she introduced herself and the guys."Nice to meet you Alexa" Aiden said as he extended his hand. She did the same and they shook hands. Then he left and was talking with the guys.The party was great, Jenny loved it and she even got a present from Josie. A silver necklace with a cross pendent. It was really pretty and Alexa was even a little jealous because Josie had never given her anything that
THE PLAYGROUND CHAPTER FOUR.
It has been three weeks now and Alexa's dad hasn't been found. Her mom was in the hospital cause she tried to kill herself. when David asked their mom why she did that, she said she didn't remember. That she remembered going upstairs to her room to rest for a while and the next thing she knew, she was in the hospital. The cops were also looking for Josie, but it was like she vanished from the surface of the earth. Alexa was sure that Josie had something to do with Jenny's death cause the cross that was on her door was exactly the same with the one Josie gave to her.Aiden and Alexa became very close, Aiden was there whenever Alexa needed a shoulder to cry on, which was often because she'd been crying a lot lately.Chris stopped coming home, he said bad things have been happening since Aiden entered their home. They had a fight once when Chris confronted Aiden and accused him of killing Jen
THE PLAYGROUND CHAPTER FIVE.
Alexa woke up feeling as disoriented as ever, she looked around and realized that the surrounding wasn't familiar. She tried to get up but she was chained to the bed. She tried to remember how she got there but with no luck. She was still trying to gather her thoughts when someone appeared at the doorframe."Enjoy your little nap?, I heard you put up quite a fight. You're a feisty little lady aren't you?""Who are you, and what do you want with me?""You have something that belongs to my mistress, and she wants it back" the person said firmly. Alexa wanted to say something when she heard a voice in the background."Mistress said not to talk to the prisoner"

Its been a week since they found out that Alexa was in coma and she might not wake up. Their dad was discharged two days ago and since then he had been focused on making their mom happy. Chris and Dave were in charge of answering the cops whenever they needed their attention. Recently, a woman was arrested for trying to break into their old house. When she was being questioned, she said Josie asked her to do it. "She said she left something that belonged to her in the house and it was really important to her." "What thing are we talking about here?""She wouldn't tell me. She just told me to check in the attic, that I'd find it in a black box.""Take her away.""Yes sir.""Oh and get me officer gale.""Yes sir."(Later)"You called for me sir?""Yes
THE PLAYGROUND CHAPTER ELEVEN.
The woman looked at her with pity "so be it" and before she could do anything, she felt a sharp pain in her chest then she saw a dagger stained with blood in the woman's hand. She looked down at her chest and tried to stop the bleeding with her hands. Dave and Chris screamed and hurried to her, she tried to go to them also but she fell to the ground. As she laid there, a lot of things crossed her mind. She didn't want to die now, there was still so much she hadn't done.

Chris brought out his phone and was about to dial the number when Aiden roughly shoved Alexa and ran out of the room. Chris ran after him but he was too fast, he got out of the house before he could get to him. Dave glanced over at Alexa and he felt bad for his little sister. She looked so heartbroken, he had no idea what Aiden could've done to hurt her that much and honestly he didn't really care. The fact that he even hurt her at all was enough to make him hate him.Chris came back up and told them he had called the cops and they would get there in a couple of minutes. About ten minutes later, they heard a knock on the door and when Chris opened it, it was officer gale and he looked like he had bad news. "Can I come in?""Of course. Is everything ok?"
THE PLAYGROUND CHAPTER NINE.
After they left the station, they went to the hospital to check on their mom and what happened next was like a miracle. They went to her ward and talked to her like they usually do, and after a while they went home but they had barely gotten home when the doctor called them that their mom had woken up. Alexa was overjoyed, she was smiling so sweetly, the smile that Chris had missed so much. They wanted to go back to the hospital but the doctor said they should wait till the next day because she needed to rest.After they had dinner that night, they tried calling Aiden but his number was switched off. That would be the tenth time they'd be trying his number. Dave said not to bother him, that they would call him in the morning.
