The Threat

Amelia instantly froze like a deer caught in headlights as Sarah's sharp cry kept echoing in her head like a warning siren.

All the colour drained from her face, turning it pale. She stared at Blaze with widened eyes and open mouth, her heart slamming widely against her chest as though it was about to leap out.

She recognized the voice of the man on the other end. It was the same creepy voice that had been tormenting her for the past weeks, both in her dream and in the physical. It was the voice of a creepy stalker, a mysterious predator and a ruthless hunter who was out to get her as promised. And now this person had her cousin in his trap.

"Aunt Amelia, that was my sister's voice. That was Sarah's voice I heard on your phone." Michael cupped his mouth, tears of horror gathering in his eyes.
