Chapter 13- Unknown

An envelope? What? Again? We killed them all, who could be the one sending them? No one could possibly be alive.

"Who is it Lyn?" asked April.

"No one," I answered.

"Then what are you doing out there?"

"Someone left an envelope. Again."

"Again?"

"Yes, again."

"What do you mean? Who sends them?"

"I wish I knew, at first I thought they were the people who kidnapped you, but now I think there's something bigger than that."

"What was written in the previous letters?"

"There was one about the address that they wanted me to come to and another one about how many hours are left, and there was one with your device."

"My device?"

"Yes. There was the black box and your device with a letter telling me to keep them safe."

"How did they get it?"

"The question is if they had it already then why did they kidnap you?"

"What is going on?" asked Ms Elis.

"I wish I knew. I wish I knew." I replied.

"What is written in this letter?"

"I don't know, I haven't opened it yet."

"What are you waiting for, open it."

"Okay."

I bent down and took the envelope again. This letter is the scariest of them all. For the other ones I was expecting something, but for this, I wasn't. I closed the door and opened the envelope. I hoped that anything other than that folded sheet of paper will be there, but there wasn't. I took the paper and unfolded it.

"Read it out loud." She said.

"Tomorrow. Dyrlisia. 9 am." I said as I read what was written in the letter.

"That's it?"

"Yes."

"Who are those people? What do they want from us?"

"Why Dyrlisia? Who will I meet?"

"I guess we'll have to wait and see."

"I can't wait. I just can't."

"Everything is going to be alright, don't worry."

"How? Everything is falling apart. I'm not safe, so are you, and so is her. We are all in danger."

"What is going on Lyn? Do we need to call the police" asked Ms Elis.

"No, no, don't call the police. This is bigger than the police Ms Elis." I replied.

"What is this about?" she asked.

"Trust me I'm asking myself the exact same question. Tomorrow we will hopefully get an answer." I answered.

"I'll go prepare the dinner, you guys must be hungry." She said as she went back to the kitchen.

"We are starving," I said.

We went to the living room waiting for the dinner to be ready. We sat next to each other feeling the fear in us.

"So, what will happen tomorrow?" she asked.

"I wish I knew, but I don't," I replied.

"I will go with you."

"No. I already placed you in danger once, I won't do it again."

"You didn't put me in danger, I placed myself in danger. It wasn't your fault."

"Still, I can go on my own. They need me alone."

"They didn't mention that in the letter."

"They don't have to."

"Listen, Lyn, you saved my life and I need to help you just like how you helped me."

"I didn't help you, because I wanted you to do it back."

"Then why did you do it?"

"Because of you. I wanted to help you. I felt like a huge weight was placed on my shoulders, and I had to do something to get it off."

"I feel the same way."

"But I can help myself, don't worry about me. You already had a rough few days, so just relax."

"Dinner is ready." Interrupted Ms Elis.

"C'mon April, dinner is ready," I said as I sat at the dining table.

We had the most delicious dinner ever, it reminded me of my mom when she used to call us for dinner and the smell of the food would conquer the apartment. After that, it was time for us to relax after this long rough day.

"Ms Elis, can you please guide the way to the guest room for April?" I asked.

"Yes, sure my dear. Follow me, sweetheart." She said.

"Goodnight April," I said.

"Goodnight Lyn." She replied.

I went back to my room thinking about tomorrow, and the letter. I laid on the bed looking at the white ceiling. In what felt like a second I opened my eyes to the sunshine in my room. I went to the dressing room, but this time without anyone guiding the way. I got dressed and looked at the clock. It was 8 o'clock, I still have time to have breakfast. I went to the dining room and saw Ms Elis pouring the orange juice into my cup.

"Good morning Ms Elis," I said.

"Good morning Lyn." She replied.

"Is April still sleeping?"

"I think so, I haven't seen her around."

"Ok good."

"Did you sleep well?"

"Good enough."

"Have your breakfast, and if you need anything you know where to find me."

"Thank you."

"My pleasure."

I had my breakfast, then I sat down staring at the view until it was time to leave. I took the car and drove my way to Dyrlisia. I looked at my watch and it was 8:55, I was early this time. I wasn't sure where to go. Should I ask the receptionist? I stood in the middle of the reception area thinking about what I should do. It didn't take long for someone to notice me.

"Hello there. You have an appointment at 9, right?" asked the receptionist.

"Yeah, I do," I replied.

"Have a seat, and I'll let you know when you can go inside."

"Yeah sure,"

I sat down thinking about what is happening. How did she know that I had an appointment at 9? I must stop overthinking, but it was hard in this situation. After a while, she came back to me.

"You can now follow the receptionist, and she will take you inside." She said.

"Alright," I replied following the other receptionist.

"Follow me Mr Lyn." She said.

"Where are we going?" I asked nervously.

"I'll take you to your appointment."

"Okay."

I followed her back into the same exact hallway, everything was familiar. I knew exactly where I was going and who I'm going to meet with. She opened the door for me, and Elvira was standing right in front of me welcoming me. In the end, she was the one sending the letters.
