Hideaway (Devil's Night 2) - Page 165

I looked up to the second floor. “I’m annoyed.”

Liar.

Asshole.

I heard a creak from above me, and I shot my eyes up again. The wind was howling through the trees outside, and I was very alone right now.

With him somewhere in this house.

If you ask him not to hurt Damon, he won’t.

I wet my dry lips and forced out my words. “I need to talk to you.”

Find me.

“Where are you?” I called, staying rooted right where I was.

I waited several seconds, but no response came. No voice. No text. Was Kai even here? I mean, I didn’t know for sure that it was him texting, right? Someone could have stuffed his body in a furnace, taken his phone, and was now doing the creepy Saw thing where they ask you if you want to play a game, but really, you have no choice, so you play before you’re chopped up by a meat slicer in a slaughterhouse.

And there goes my imagination.

I squeezed my phone in my hand. “Where are you?” I yelled again.

Upstairs, came the text finally.

Jerk.

Fine. Fuck you, then. I stepped up the stairs. “If I have to find you, you’re going to bleed,” I said.

But then a text rolled in.

Getting warmer now.

I looked left to right, keeping alert as I slowly climbed the stairs. “Why are you doing this?”

But only a one word response came as I took another step. Warmer.

A cool sweat broke out across my forehead. The floorboards under my shoes creaked, as I reached the top of the stairs, looking right and seeing the bedroom door wide open. I could see the bottom of the bed and sheer white curtains blowing in the wind coming through the open window. I don’t think that was open the last time I was here. I couldn’t remember.

Instead, I turned right, heading for the other bedroom.

Cold.

I stopped, breathing hard. So, he was in the master bedroom. I couldn’t swallow.

Get a grip. He’s fucking with you.

Turning around, I headed back for the master.

My phone vibrated, and I looked down.

Can I tell you something else?

“What?” I growled low.

And the next text rolled in.

You’ll never leave this house.
