THE SEARCH BEGINS

Sean woke up that morning thinking of an Anika.

'Maybe I should call her.' He picked up his phone and dialed her number, switched off. He called her number three more times and came to the conclusion that she was going through a lot.

'I'll go pay her a surprise visit.' He got up from bed and headed towards the bathroom.

Rebecca, Lisa, Anika and Daniel were on their way towards the car but they had to still walk a long distance. Anika felt a weird feeling earlier that morning when she woke up.

"Guys, don't you think we're playing her game and losing?" Anika asked.

"I don't understand," Daniel replied.

"The dog wouldn't wait for us to just come and kill him he's not stupid. More reason why he put himself in Bella's body."

"You're right," Lisa replied.

"Okay then what, we should just move according to instinct?" Rebecca asked.

"Yeah," Anika answered.

There was a lady who was jogging along the lonely path, she stopped because she heard a noise.

"Hello, is anybody there?" She asked as she came closer to the bush where the noise came from. She looked up as the once clear sky turn dark and it looked like it was going to rain.

"Whoof, whoof, whoof!" The lady looked down as she saw a cute dog.

"Are you lost little fella?" She asked bending to pick it up. Then the dog turned into a man and cut off her head. Rebecca, Lisa, Anika and Daniel silently watched from behind the trees. Lisa was about to scream when Rebecca cupped her mouth.

Sean got in front of the house and knocked the door and was surprised to see Isabella.

"Hi," she said smiling.

"Hello, uhm, you must be Isabella, right?"

"Yes."

"Where's Anika?"

"She stepped out quickly but she'll soon be back."

"Ok, let me wait for her out here then."

"Oh no, do come in. You can keep me company," she said as she smirked.

"Sure, thank you."

The man suddenly disappeared leaving the lady's lifeless body on the floor.

"It's the dog," Anika said as they were in the car, on their way to the house.

"We need to get there quickly," Lisa added.

They got to the house and immediately they set foot on the ground, it began to rain.

"Let's go through the back," Daniel said leading the way. The back door was locked, so Rebecca used a pin to open it quietly. The house was unusually dark but luckily Rebecca brought two flashlights.

"Where's the heart of the house located?" Rebecca asked.

"That's Isabella's room," Anika replied.

"You and Lisa should look for the knife, me and Daniel will protect you guys."

Anika and Lisa tip-toed up the stairs and opened the door.
