But who is the stalker now? Him or the other guy?

A crackling of a twig makes my head turn the other way as another masked man appears from the beaten path, red eyes and all. One by one, they pull out their knives and point them at each other.

Just as I expected.

One or all of them.

Someone’s a stalker.

Someone’s a killer.

Someone’s a liar.

And this will end tonight.

CHAPTER 48

Ghost

Who the fuck are they,and how did they find us?

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

She was supposed to be here alone for me to devour just one last time.

Why are they even here?

She snorts, shaking her head. “I didn’t think this would work.”

She arranged this.

She tricked me into thinking it would just be me and her.

She brought us all together … to destroy me.

“No!” I chuck a knife at one of them.

He sidesteps to avoid and pulls a knife out too. “You think you’re the only one who can play that game?”

Wait a minute… I recognize that voice.

He throws the knife.

THWACK!

I lean, and it hooks in the tree behind me.

“Nowthis? This is a game worth playing,” the other one says.

I turn my head to look at him. They’re both dressed exactly like me in masks, hoodies, balaclavas, red eyes and all.

“No more hiding. No more lies,” Aspen rasps. “I can’t take it anymore. This ends tonight.”

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!

Grinding my teeth, I charge at one of them and tackle him to the ground.

“You motherfucker!” I yell, punching his face.
