“Do you think…?
“I don’t like this,” Adrian said, his eyes narrowing. “Stay inside. Don’t open the door for anyone unless it’s me.”
“But..”
“Evelyn,” he said sternly, “promise me.”
She nodded slowly. “I promise.”
Adrian kissed her forehead and left quickly, checking the area.
But it was already too late.
While Adrian chased shadows, Evelyn was already being watched.
A few minutes later, as she walked back toward their cottage, something sharp pricked her neck.
Her vision blurred.
Her body collapsed into the arms of a tall woman wearing all black.
“Got her,” the woman whispered into a device. “We move now.”
Adrian returned ten minutes later to find the door wide open.
“Evelyn?” he called.
No response.
He rushed inside.
No one.
The blanket was still warm. A cup of tea spille
