lately." he said after I pulled away from the hug.

 

 "There's always room for improvement," I say.

 

 

He put his hands on my face, making me look up at him.

 

"Hey it's fine, let's just start over....and this time I promise i'll treat you right."

 

 

It felt like he was looking for my soul, seeing the good in me and actually reading my mind.

 

He stared at me for the longest time and I couldn't keep my eyes off of him.

 

 

His green eyes staring at me.

 

It wasn't long before he put his hands around my face again, then picking up my chin and leaning in.

 

I pulled away, in embarassment.

 

 

I had to stop the moment, I was hungry and I didn't want a first kiss to happen in a hotel or even now.

 

 

I stepped back, forcing him to lean up.

 

"What?" he asked, still looking at me.

 

 

I thought and thought for a moment to say something.

 

"I'm hungry."

 

Stupid.

 

He smiled looking down at me.

 

"Where do you wanna eat?" he asked.

 

"Somewhere nice, and quiet." I suggested

 

 

He smiled again.

 

"I know the perfect place,"

 

He held out the door for me and I crutched my way out.

 

"So tell me Kyle, what did you first think about me?" I asked.

 

 

He thought for a moment helping me down the hotel steps.

 

"I thought you were, pretty and cute because you're short."

 

"Hey!" I said smacking him in the arm.

 

"I'm not that short,"

 

"You are." he replied.

 

"It's not fun being short, ya know." I said.

 

 

He smiled, laughing.

 

"I know, but it's cute." h

 

He wrapped an arm around me, helping me cross the street.

 

 

It turns out, he wasn't the person I was expecting. And a very romanitc one at heart, because he's always telling me i'm so pretty.

  

 

"Alright, I have your phone number and address." I said.

 

"And I have yours so, I guess this is goodbye....again." he said smiling.

 

 

I laughed and started to leave.

 

"Hey!!' he yelled behind me.

 

 

I turned aorund.

 

"See ya next time, pretty girl." he said.

 

 

He smiled and ran to his car, while I turned back to enter into the hotel.

 

 

I walked back into my room and called up my boss.

 

"Hey, yeah it looks like there's gonna be a delay to raiding the rat house, but i'll be back on my feet in 2 weeks. So call off your army and tell them to chill for a while."

 

 

He answered back furious but calmly.

 

"I know and when i'm back on my two feet, Elle's gonna suffer some more, but she won't actually. That is, until next year."

 

 

All I have to do is wait  till the day comes.

 

I turned on my computer and flipped in a flash drive.

 

Unlike the person I met in the alley, I have a flash drive with footage of a recording.

 

 

"You have your worry free time now Elle, but beware." I said, looking at the screen.

 

I wipe it clean from the history. 

 

Chapter Eleven: Ghostly Crime

 

Elle's P.O.V

 

I woke up to the scent of candy corn.

 

I had recently went to the store to buy candles and I came across one that had my favorite halloween candy.

 

 

Halloween is on it's way tomorrow and I can't wait, because it's my absolute favorite holiday out of the year. The time when nobody knows who I am and I can do whatever I want.

 

 

I got up from my bed and skipped to the bathroom. 

 

"What should I dress up as this year?"

 

Before I head to Rosewood this weekend.

 

 

I remembered from the girls night, 2 months ago, that I had woken up in a strange cool cop costume. And I figured that I would be Beyonce for halloween.

 

 

It would make me look cool, since I turned 20 this year.

  

I got dressed and headed out to work.

 

 

I came across Rikki, who was tailoring her costume for the Halloween Bash that's gonna happen at FARELLE tomorrow.

 

"Hey Rikki." I said.

 

She looked up and smiled, with pins in her teeth.

 

"Hey Elle, i'm just touching up my costume!" she mumbled.

 

 

 

She took the pins out of her mouth, waiting for my response.

  

"So what are you gonna be this halloween?" I asked.

 

 

She put her costume into a garment bag.

 

"I'm gonna be katy perry this year, and have cupcakes on my bra." she laughed.

 

 

Rikki micking the making of the scene where katy perry shot whipped cream from her chest in the California Girls music video.

 

"What are you gonna be?" she asked me.

 

"I'm gonna be beyoncé, wearing the cop outfit in her music video. Plus, I have the costume from girls night."

 

 

"Cool. Alright, let's head into work." she said.

 

Rikki and I walked in and heard commotion going on.

 

Lauren came up to me embracing a big hug.

 

 

Then she pulls me out of the hug, looking at me.

 

"We need a story for tomorrow's halloween bash, so we can get readers to comment on our company."

 

She smiled and rushed to her office.

 

 

Vanessa came up to me. Rikki disappeared, hiding behind me.

 

"Hello Elle, nice to have you back, see you at the bash." she said.

 

She walks to her office, snapping her fingers at Marcus to follow.

 

I see Jeff shooting photos for the magazine cover.

 

 

"Wow, Vanessa actually asked how you were doing." Rikki said, walking over to the reception desk.

 

I looked suprised as I saw Vanessa disappear around the corner to her office.

 

"Anyways, i'll see you later Elle." Rikki says.

 

She rushes off with her costume to her office.

 

 

I quickly start writing to my blog.

 

 

"Happy Halloween, I can't wait to dress up and purge on candy this year, because it's that time of the year. I hope everyone has a happy halloween. I'm looking forward to visiting Rosewood after tomorrow. I'll get to see my parents again and visit my hometown. And I can't wait to spend thanksgiving with Marybella this year, her father's arriving today for his visit. I'm siked for the halloween bash at FARELLLE. They're throwing it tomorrow, apparently it's a tradition they do every year and it's my first time. Although I wish Sara would come back to work, she needs to start on many different projects and stories. But i'm okay with the fact of writing my own and her's. For this year, We've Got Issues is a new magazine slogan. It's suppose to mean we've got issues of magazines to seel, like chapters and stories in today's time. I'm so proud to be a part of FARELLE, I hope the year get's better. But, i've gotta go my ElleWoodsers, and see ya next time." - @SummerElleW_86

 

 

After writing and posting, I came across Marybella. She was just in time, for us to go out for lunch.

 

For some reason, Rikki liked eating lunch here. But I beg her to go and eat lunch with us elsewhere, this time.

 

 

Marybella rushed in, wearing a pretty black blouse and a white skirt with black see-through leggings.

  

"Hey, Marybella over here!" I shout.

 

She rushed to me. She pants and it seemed like she was running a block from here.

 

 

"Why are you breathing so hard?" I asked, stacking papers.

 

"I ran down the hall here." she said catching her breath.

 

She started to move as I think of my response.

 

"So why are you walking around in circles, you're very nervous, cat's got your tongue." I asked, looking at her running around in circles.

 

 

"What a cat's got my tongue? Give it back!!" she yelled, nervously checking and pulling her tongue out.

 

"No, Marybella. It's just a catch phrase, exaggeration." I replied.

 

 

She looked around worriedy.

 

"Oh, okay." she replied.

 

 

She took a water bottle out of her purse and started chugging it down.

 

"So why are you so nervous now all of a sudden?" I asked.

 

"Dad's coming to town. And you remember how I told you last year when we met up for the second time, that my dad's part of the russian country office and how he works with famous and important people, telling them about the goods and shipping from Russia?"

 

"Yeah." I nodded.

 

"Well guess who's coming to New York...my dad."

 

 

"Oh that's great news. How long has it been since you've seen him?"

 

"Since I was 16, when I left to New York to pursue my dream of ballet." Marybella says, looking off into the distance.

 

 

I patted her on the cheek, I caught her attention.

 

"Marybella focus, you have to work today, snap out of it." I snapped my fingers on point and she instantly came back.

 

"Wow, for a moment there I thought it'd be the end. But now, I feel a bit better."

 

 

Marybella leapt her way to her office and she disappears.

 

"See you after work," I hear her words echo.

 

 

Vanessa and Lauren came by the receptionist desk, smiling towards me. Then finally putting on a serious face to talk to me.

 

"Elle?" Lauren said.

 

"Follow us to the conference room, you might want to hear about this now." Vanessa said.

 

 

Lauren came behind me as we walked, putting her arms around me.

 

"It's nothing that serious, all we need you to do is be honest."

 

 

They walked me to the conference room and sat me at the end of the table, across from the wall with the projector and tv.

 

"So Elle, i've recently been wondering that Sara might be a little problem lately?" Lauren said, as she lowered the lights.

 

"There's something off about Sara, that most people don't know. Have you seen anything off since she's been here?" Vanessa said.

 

 

She leaned in close to my face, I backed up a little.

 

"Not really, but I did later on." I said trying not to sound suspicisous. 

 

"And when did you start noticing that, she was not what you thought she was, or if something was off about her?" Lauren asks.

 

"I don't really remember, but I think it was around the time before the award show."

 

 

Vanessa flashed the screen on the tv and pictures of Sara showed up.

 

The mood and in the conference room, was set like a criminal minds show and I was a witness.

 

"All of these picture here, were taken by me. And most of these pictures include you."

 

 

I was furious and furrowed my eyebrows together, I wanted to be calm, but I couldn't.

 

"You mean you've been stalking me!" I said.

 

 

Lauren came up behind me, putting her hands on my shoulders.

 

"Calm down Elle, it's just something to show. And it's evidence about Sara's whereabouts."

 

Vanessa continued talking, as Lauren stood by me.

 

 

"I recently took pictures of you and Sara together. And most of the pictures are of Sara, looking through a camera and taking pictures of you."

 

Lauren budded in.

 

"And we suspect she's stalking, which leads to our concern to protect you."

 

"What?" I asked.

 

 

Vanessa talked again.

 

"We're basically worried about you and think Sara's stalking you."

 

Lauren nodded, looking at Vanessa then me.

 

"So what do you want me to do about it?" I asked.

 

 

Lauren turned to me. "Nothing"

 

"You want me to do nothing!" I said shifting in my chair.

 

 

"Calm down Elle!" Vanessa said raising her voice.

 

"We need you to do nothing, because were hiring someone." Lauren says.

 

 

Vanessa buds in. "A private investigator, to spy on Sara for us and for you"

 

I was really pissed at this point. I felt trapped in the middle of an arguement.

 

"I'm sorry, but I already have someone watching after me, in fact. An old friend....so cancel your private investigator, i'm covered." I replied.

 

 

I nearly cheered for my brave response, thinking that Lauren and Vanessa didn't know about Alex.

 

"We know about Christina aka Alex." Vanessa said, backfiring the look on my face.

 

"Yeah and we asked her to protect you more often. While she's not working with you, she's doing as we say." Lauren said, flipping through the pitctures on the tv screen.

 

 

"And we're the ones who told her to attack Sara in the alley, that night when she showed you the camera clip of Sara in her hotel room 3 doors
