Letter 1
I had an eerie dream last
night. I was running away
from something. Something I
could not see but it knew
where I was, like it could
hear my heart beat. I kept
running in the dark alley but
it felt like a maze - a never
ending maze, probing for my
escape but it was a dead end.
It found me and before I
could figure what it was it
killed me. I felt the blood
being sapped out of me. When
I woke up it felt real.

I had the same dream tonight;
it was like I was re-living
it again. It was the same
alley and everything happened
again but this time I woke up
before it caught me, my heart
beat was extra rapid. I got
up to wash my face, it was
only three a.m.
My blue eyes were blood shotbecause of the deprived sleep
I was getting lately. My
curly black hair messed up in
the pony tail.
I used to be a peaceful
sleeper, but since I started
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky

getting those peculiar
letters I could not sleep at
nights anymore. At first it
felt like all this was
happening because it was a
new place for me. Now I am
questioning my own thoughts.
Reaching into my drawer I
took out the first letter.
Dear Zuri
You look great in red. It perfectly matches your skin tone. I am always around come and find me.
Xoxoxo
After a week I received
another letter stating.
Dear Zuri
Is it me or did you take out everything red from your wardrobe?
I liked you the way you were before, do not mind me.Xoxoxo

Another week passed and I
received another one.
Dear Zuri
I see you every day when you enter the school corridors. I think Im in love with you.
Xoxoxo
It had been only a few months
since we shifted to Rosewood.
It was because of my
stepfather. He owns
restaurants here and
apparently my mother wanted
to live in a completely
different country.
We used to live in Berlin
with my dad. He was a
businessman and was not

around most of the days,
apparently mum could not get
along with him.
She got divorced and it was
pretty messy. The verity
which bothered me was that he
did not even fight over for
my custody.
I came to States with my
mother two years ago. And now
that time has passed in a
flash, I have a step sister
and brother.
It was only a week since I
entered my school and started
receiving the letters. The
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
7/147
letters are always inside my
locker. I change my code
every day; I wonder who the
jerk is messing around with
me.
It was four now and I was
scared to close my eyes. At
first it was a joke to me.
Recently it seems like I am
being followed around. Maybeits just my nerves playing
around with me.
My step sister Clair was
waking me up Zuri get up; I
am going in ten minutes. Get
up otherwise I will leave

you. It was a peril which
made my eyes pop open.
I rushed into the restroom
and washed my face and did my
five minutes makeup and went
out wearing a Claudia dress
with cherry suede mules.
You forgot to tie your
hair. Clair pointed out when
I sat in the car.
Shoot, I forgot. While
stating that I opened the
dash board and took out a
checkered print head band.

Damon is going to pick you
up after school. She yelled
at me while I walked towards
my school.
Damon my step brother, I did
not get along with him from
the first day, he was like my
prevalent foe.
I found my new friend Evette
sitting on the corridor
staircase.
Hey, how are you? I asked
heedlessly while I sat beside
her.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
10/147
I am fine; you look like you
did not sleep again. She
pointed towards my puffy
eyes.
Its nothing. I strutted
over towards my locker I
have to put my books. I
continued referring to the
pile of them I held.
When I opened my locker
another letter fell down.
Hurry up; open it. Evette
nudged me to hurry up.
Dear Zuri
I hear your brother is picking you up today. Try looking for me when you are waiting for him.
Xoxoxo

Its the fourth one. Evette
looked at me with her doe
eyes. I think you should
tell somebody else about it
too. She laid down her
suggestion.
There were so many people
around. I wondered while I
was half dazed by what was
written inside it.
Lets just go. I grabbed
Evette arm and headed to our
class.
The dynamic that I never
understood was that physics
bothered me so much, that

half of the time I was dozed
off in my class.
Being new in class always
points fingers towards you
more. My chemistry teacher
changed my lab partner when
he found out that we scarcely
helped each other. And my new
partner was the inexplicable
Tyson.
The grey colored eyes that
made you speculate whether
they were real or not. His
jaws always tightened when I
sat next to him. I ruminated
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
13/147
whether I had too much
perfume on.
Tyson was the schools Head
Mistress son. So he was off-
limits. His love life, nobody
had seen him with the same
girl. Girls always changed in
his vocabulary.
I wondered about his type but
the two girls I saw him with
recently were tall, blonde
and skinny. He was my lab
partner but we never bothered
to ask any questions from
each other and as soon as the
bell rang he would rush out
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
14/147
like he was sitting with a
malady. That was utterly rude
and I wanted to pulverize him
completely if I had a chance.
At lunch I saw Evette sitting
with her friend Lydia; the
cheer captain. What should I
say about Lydia; she was hell
pretty but this beauty was
with brains. A blonde withhazel colored eyes.
Hey girls. I avowed while
I sat next to Evette.
How was chemistry with
Tyson? she winked at Lydia
while I started to drink.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
15/147
Same old. I answered
ignoring Lydias smirks.
I was planning to try out
for cheer leading. Evette
munched her chocolate bar.
When are the try-outs? I
looked at Lydia.
After school; today She
responded to my question.
Is Tyson eyeing her out?
Evette nudged Lydia.
Looks like Zuri caught his
attention at last. Lydia wassmiling at me now.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
16/147
I am not interested in him.
I declared while I got up.
Where are you going? Lydia
and Evette asked mutually.
The bell rang girls. I
continued to walk outside the
cafeteria.
I hear Ivan is going to ask
you for the upcoming party.
Lydia confirmed her news to
me.
Evette was so in love with
schools hottie no 5. Ivan
hung out with Tysons clan
and it was unreservedly
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
17/147
disconcerting to find out he
was engrossed in me.
Where did you hear that? I
was apprehensive over what
Lydia told me.
News around here travel
fast. Lydia affirmed while
she tied her hair in a bun.
Cheer try-outs were cancelled
due to the heavy rain. I
called Damon plethora of
times but his cell phone was
off and I was the only person
left at school.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
18/147
I thought of walking to home
but the thunder was scaring
the crap out of me.
I saw Damons car near the
entrance. I jumped into the
car as soon as I could but I
was completely soaked by the
rain.
You could have come
earlier. I stated
frantically.
Be glad that I remembered
you. Damon spoke in a
monotone.
-

The rest of the ride was
quite asusal. When I entered
the house my feet froze. It
was my dad sitting on the
couch drinking coffee.
Why are you not moving
aside? Damon spoke
feverishly while he moved
beside me.
Why is he here? thats all
I questioned from my mother.
Who is he? Damon asked
looking at me.
Hes Zuris father; I will
let you guys talk. My mom

sleepless again. I was about
to go crazy over this. He
does not even leave a clue
about who he is.
If this is a game I did not
like it at all. It should not
affect my sleep and I kept
contemplating over why this
was happening.
I walked into Clairs room
and it was still five am.
Clair, get up. I tried to
wake her up.
What? she said with an
exasperated voice.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
23/147
I need to show you
something. I avowed out.
She got up while rubbing her
eyes. I received them after
a week since I started school
here. And I handed over the
letters.
Zuri it must be a friend
messing around with you.
Clair responded back.
I only have two friends and
they are not the type to joke
around like this. I declared
to her frantically.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
24/147
This one is the fourth? she
pointed towards the third
one.
No its like this. I
arranged them the way I
received.
And you receive them exactly
after? she questioned.
A week I responded to her
question.
Lets just wait for the
fifth one. If it continues
then we will tell mum. She
suggested.
I nodded at her.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
25/147
Now lets sleep. She stated
and was dozed off.
I walked backed into my room
and my window was open. I do
not remember opening it. I
walked towards the window to
check around. I saw my
neighbors dog sleeping on
the front yard.
The letters I was holding
dropped the moment I saw one
hanging on my dressing table.
I could not feel my legs, I
even tried but I could not
balance my body anymore. It

I wore a striped stretch-
jersey T-shirt with Crawford
high waist stretch cotton
shorts, with Christel buckled
suede sandals. I planned on
showing Evette the fifth
letter, but I did not know
how to tell her.
I thought a couple of times
about not going to school,but then I found myself
sitting in the back seat with
my step father. Clair will
pick you up. He informed me.
I am going to a friends
house after school; she will

I walked back towards Evette
and Lydia. You got yourself
a date. Lydia declared.
I do seriously not like him,
I just said yes because of
you. I looked at Evette.
When you get the chance;
just tell him you will come
with your friends. Evette
spoke while she got up.
I have something to tell
you, I am going to your house
after school. I informed
Evette about my plan.
She nodded at me.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
33/147
She headed straight to her
home room. I walked towards
my locker thinking twice
before opening it. There was
no letter in this time and I
was relieved when I saw it
empty.
I sat next to Lydia during
mathematics. She was
completing her numericals.Next period was chemistry and
I planned on sleeping but to
my demise it was today that
Tyson decided to speak to me.
You are doing it wrong. He
said through gritted teeth
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
34/147
while I poured the base into
the burette.
Huh. I looked up.
You have to pour the acid
into the burette. He handed
me a beaker full of
hydrochloric acid.
Oh. I just replied
heedlessly.
I will take the readings for
this one. He declared.
I just nodded.
I was so sleepy that I was
about to doze off. The bell
ringing made me get up. I was
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
35/147
lurking around the corridor
BOOO. Evette scared the
hell out of me.
She grabbed my arm while we
headed towards the cafeteria.
My eyes half closed I ran
into the door.
Ouch! I rubbed my head.
I thought your eyes were
open. Evette spoke
meticulously.
Its okay. I stated while
we entered.
Lydia was busy with her
practice in the gym. Next

period was Health and I was
definitely going to sleep
during that period I did not
feel hearing about how off
springs are produced nor
about the STDs.
I opened my locker to grab my
physics book. Another letter
was waiting for me. I was
getting so sick of it.Dear Zuri
I hear you are going to a party with Ivan. That was an easy ask-out. Hope to see you there.
Xoxoxo
I was about to tear the
letter but I do not know what
caused me not to do it. I

wanted to scream my lungs
out, I grabbed my hair.
Are you feeling alright?
Ivan asked me.
When did you get here? I
questioned him.
You looked ill thats why.
He was elucidating without
any reason.
I am perfectly fine. I
smiled and headed for my next
class.
The whole school knows aboutme and Ivan going to the

He came to my house; to my
room in the middle of the
night or should I say early
morning. I was being
precise.
I do not think he knows that
you know about this. I
affirmed to her.
Who can this be? she was
questioning herself.
I think I should just refuse
Ivans offer. I stated.
No; we will all go together.
We will definitely find the

person playing around with
you.
Letter 3
My night was sleepless again.
The same dream happening
again and again. I should puta dream catcher over my bed.
I woke up and walked towards
the restroom, splashing water
over my face I thought I saw
someone standing in my room
through the vanity mirror.
I did not move pretending
not to see him. I could not
see his face - he was
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
42/147
standing quietly near my
closet. I could not make
myself move. I grabbed the
sink because I was scared
enough to faint. The
blindness sinkered in and
covered my eyes.
She is not breathing. I
kept hearing Damons voice.
Why is she not breathing?
he continued.
I tried to open my eyes and
the lights felt like stars
falling into my eyes.
Where am I? I asked.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
43/147
Oh-My-God Zuri; you killed
us all. I heard Damon.
I figured I was lying on the
bathroom floor. We taught
you were dead. Clair
continued.
What time is it? I
questioned while Damon helped
me get up.
You still have time to get
ready for school. Clair
declared.
I chose to wear an Albion two
tone silk dress with python
platform mules. My hair was
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
44/147
roughly tied in a pony tail.
He was here again. I searched
the room for another letter
but I guess he did not want
to say anything.
Going to school today sounded
dim-witted, but I had a quiz
I could not miss. I was
already late when I reached
school and headed directly tomy biology class.
Where were you? Lydia asked
me while Evette was staring
at me.
I got up late. I confirmed
while I took out my book.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
45/147
When the period was over
Evette grabbed my arm and we
walked to the second floor to
the arts department.
Did something happen
yesterday? she was referring
to the incident happened
before.
He was in my room again. I
stated out. He was watching
me; I could not see his
face. I was about to cry.
I cannot sleep anymore at my
house. I continued but broke
into sobs.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
46/147
I am so sorry. Evette
hugged me tightly.
I am glad that he does not
know about you. I stated to
her.
You should sleep at my place
tonight. Evette suggested.
What would I tell my
parents? I questioned
naively.
We have an assignment and
its due date is tomorrow.
She suggested.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
47/147
I nodded at her I should
text Clair. I stated back to
her.
I did not receive any letter
the following day. Chemistry
was quite as usual, I did not
even bother looking at Tyson.
While walking towards my
locker I ran into Ivan. He
smiled when he looked at me,
which was weird for starters.
The day ended soon and after
school we headed straight to
Evettes house. Lydia also
joined our sleepover.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
48/147
I slept more comfortably at
Evettes house. The thought
that he would not follow me
to somebody elses house was
a relief.
I borrowed one of Evettes
dresses; my eyes seemed less
puffy today. It was a printed
satin dress and lace and
satin platform pumps.
When I walked into the school
corridor I saw Ivan eye me
out. I just nodded when I
looked at him and headed
towards my locker.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
49/147
There was a letter waiting
for me. I called out for
Evette before opening it.
Dear Zuri
You think that sleeping at your friends house would help you. I can still see you when you are
reading it. Make sure you do not sleep at her house until its really necessary!!!!!! I was worried sickabout you. XoX
I was shell-shocked after
reading the letter. I looked
around to see if I could findhim, but the whole school was
standing in the corridors.
DO NOT worry. Evette
grabbed my arm while she
headed towards the girls
bathroom.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
50/147
If its a guy he cannot hear
our conversation over here.
Evette stated pompously.
Lydia entered the restroom
shortly after What
happened? she looked at me.
Evette showed her letter no.
7. You should tell your
parents about this. Lydia
suggested.
Evette slowly told her about
all the letters while I
paced.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
51/147
I think he knows; he knows
you know about the letters.
Lydia told Evette.
But why let me tell only
her? I asked apprehensively.
Just go to tomorrows party
with Ivan; we will also come
but shortly after you. Lydia
suggested.
He would not find out if we
show up shortly after you; he
would be busy discerning your
every move, just do not lurk
around any where alone.
Lydia continued.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
52/147
I am totally agreeing with
her. Evette declared.
Are you guys sure about
this? I questioned.
We need to know who he is;
this is the only way to find
out. Lydia stated and maybe
she was right.
I was sitting in my chemistry
class and it started raining.
I slightly shivered.
You like rain? Tyson asked
me.
I like cold weather. I
replied back.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
53/147
I hear you are Ivans date
for tomorrows party. He
wanted to confirm what he
already knew.
Yeah I guess I am. I
responded back.
You look different today?
he continued.
Huh. I was shocked.
You did not tie your hair;
you are not even wearing a
head band. He stated while
he scribbled down his notes.
I do not know why I looked at
his writing before answering.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
54/147
I must have forgotten. I
declared while I searched for
a pony tail.
Your writing is really
neat. I told him while I
looked at his notes.
For a guy I know it is. He
laughed.
When I left the class room I
kept thinking about his
writing he was left handed,
the letters I received were
written by right hand.

declared while she headed to
my room.
Are you serious? I was
grabbing her arm.
He would not know; I will
cover my face. She stated
and went to my room.
I was worried sick about
Clair but then I slept
without knowing. It was Clair
waking me up Zuri I think he
knew that you were not in the
room. She stated anxiously.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
57/147
I did see his shadow but he
did not walk towards me, he
came here. She continued.
Did you see him? I
questioned.
I just saw him walk towards
here - he even opened the
door. She told me.
And you just stood there? I
asked vehemently.
I followed him but he was
gone when I came here. She
was surprised over what she
was saying.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
58/147
We should tell mum or dad.
She suggested.
I will tell them tomorrow
myself. I replied back.
I called Evette and told her
about last nights incident.
She was not shocked over him
following me around
everywhere.
Clair straightened my hair up
and sprawled them over my
shoulders.I was wearing
Lucile ruche silk-chiffon
dress with Buckled leather
sandals and accessorized with

small door knocker sterling
silver earrings.
Ivan showed up exactly at 7.
You look really alluring.
He stated that before he
started his car engine.
I just smiled over his
compliment. I was still
thinking about who wrote the
letters. The party was held
at Tysons house. He was with
his current girlfriend
Giselle.
You look nervous. Ivan told
me while he drank his drink.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
60/147
Not nervous; I am just
thinking about something. I
stated back.
You look awesome with your
hair down; you should do that
more often. He spoke out.
I have to make a phone
call. I stated and walked
away to a quite place.
I reached the back yard of
Tysons house. The place
seemed so familiar. I tried
to get the connections but
the network was busy. I kept
searching for the signals
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
61/147
till I came to a place I did
not know.
I was lost, and it felt like
I was dreaming. I pinched
myself to check whether I was
dreaming or not. It was the
same place it was coming back
bit by bit. How did I get
here?
I saw his figure standing in
front of me. I could see his
blood shot eyes. I could not
find my voice to say anything
nor my feet to run away. I
stood there silently while I
did not even breathe.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
62/147
Breathe. I heard an
unfamiliar voice.
I just gulped when I heard
his command.
I told you to breathe. He
spoke frantically now with
urgency in his voice.
I tried to breathe the air
around me but I could not do
that simple task. I just
remember hitting the ground.
Zuri! I heard Ivans voice
while I regained my
consciousness.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
63/147
What happened? I questioned
while I tried to get up.
You just fainted. He
responded.
How did I get here? I
looked around I was in the
front yard.
You said that you were going
to make a call; but you
fainted right there. Ivan
replied back.
Can you just drop me off? I
asked him while I saw Tyson
standing behind him.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
64/147
I am sorry if I ruined the
party. I stated while I was
getting out.
I am glad that you did not
hurt yourself; I will see you
at school. He drove off.
When I reached my room I saw
another letter waiting at the
table. I rushed to open it.
Dear Zuri
Anxious about whether it truly happened? I told you not to involve anyone. I warned you before
hand, now you have to suffer the consequences. Xoxoxo
Evette and Lydia never showed
at the party. Clair I have
not even seen her.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
65/147
I walked towards Clairs
bedroom, it was empty. Now I
registered the whole house
was empty.
When I reached the kitchen I
saw a note left by mom.
Zuri
Your sister got into a car crash with your friends Lydia and Evette.
We are at Lorettas hospital.
I dropped the note. I have to
suffer the circumstances. I
heard him enter the house.
What do you want from me? Iwas shouting.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
66/147
Just tell me what you want?
I will do it right away. I
broke into sobs. I was
fighting for air again.
I could hear his footsteps. I
grabbed a knife.
He was standing right outside
the kitchen door and then the
lights went out.
I felt his hand grab the
knife away from me, placed it
on the counter. I was shaking
badly now that I could not
even open my eyes now.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
67/147
I am sorry if I am scaring
you, I never meant to hurt
anyone. You made me do this
so technically you caused
this. He spoke to me.
And you made me do this. I
stated while grabbing the
knife, I stabbed myself.
Letter 4
I stabbed myself accidently;
it was dark so I could not
see. I told the police
officer.

Hello Mrs. OMalley. He
greeted my mother.
Hello son; and you are? she
looked at me.
Ivan Caviar. Ivan answered.
I will let you guys talk.
My mom stated and left the
room.
I heard you stabbed
yourself. Ivan confirmed the
news.
Accidently stabbed. I
corrected him.
The lights were off; I had
no idea where the knife came

from. I laughed over the lie
I was speaking.
How is your sister? he
asked me while he looked
around the room.
She is fine now; minor
injuries. I answered.
I thought of bringing
flowers but I did not know
which ones you liked. He
spoke heedlessly.
So I brought you this. He
placed a box of Snickers.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky

I will make sure I get
chocolate wasted. I smiled
while declaring.
Thanks anyway. I continued.
You should rest now; I will
see around then. He affirmed
and took his leave.
Mom decided to stay with
Clair for the night. I was in
shock over what I did to
myself. I was still thinking
about everything currently
happening and the lights
flickered.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
73/147
It stopped but then suddenly
the lights went out. This
does not happen in hospitals.
You could have killed
yourself. I heard his voice.
I jumped when he sat next to
me. I thought of grabbing
something but my hands could
not reach the table.
You want something? I will
bring it for you. He clearly
stated.
Why are you doing this to
me? I questioned.

I covered my face with the
sheet and slept over what
happened. The pungent smell
of roses woke me up.
I got up to check what time
it was the timepiece showed
4. There was a letter waiting
beside it.
Dear zuri
Get well soon. Abide by the rules!!
xoxoxoxo
Just so you know I do not
like roses I was yelling in
an empty room.
I had no idea how Evette and
Lydia were doing. This all
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
77/147
happened because of me, I
cannot let this happen again.
This has to end now.
I had already spent five days
and four nights at the
hospital, he did not pay me a
visit again.
I was going to be discharged
today. Evette and Lydia were
discharged yesterday. Most
probably I would see them at
school.
When I entered my room there
was a single tulip laid near
my window. I walked over and
it had a note beside it.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
78/147
Dear zuri
I thought every girl liked roses; my mistake.
xoxo
I sighed after reading it.
Do not bring me anything. I
was yelling.
What are you doing? Damon
asked indifferently.
I have certainly and totally
lost it. I was shouting at
him.
What has gotten into you.
he exclaimed and left the
room.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
79/147
Look at what you are doing
to me. Arghhh. I was
shouting again.
Letter 5
When I woke up it was
raining; I decided to wear
Crochet-trimmed silk-chiffon
dress with cut-off denim
shorts and embellishedleather platform sandals.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
80/147
Damon was dropping me off to
school today. I went
downstairs to eat breakfast.
Cereal was the best option
for me today.
Lets go. I heard Damons
voice while he headed out.
If you feel sick; call me I
will come to pick you up.
Damon sounded concerned.
I just nodded and he helped
me with my books. I saw Lydia
talking to Ivan when I
entered the corridor, and she
abruptly stopped talking when
she saw me.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
81/147
Which was darn weird; why did
she pause right after she saw
me.
I walked over to my locker, I
saw Evette sitting at her
usual place and she waved
when she saw me. I nodded and
opened my locker.
I walked over to Evette with
my books How are you
feeling? I asked.
I should be asking you
that. She stated while she
grabbed her notes.
I am fine. I replied back.

You have learned how to lie to your friends. Maybe it is time that we should meet. Meet me at the old
building near the Infirmary. I know you are curious. I must say you look great today; I like your hair
down more. Xoxoxo
I looked around and I saw
Tysons clan standing across
the corridor. There was a new
guy in there group. Who is
he?
I grabbed my physics book and
headed straight to my class.
Everyone, this is Troy
Hedlund. I heard my Physics
Sir, while I planned on
sleeping. To my grace I was
the only one sitting alone at
the far end of the class.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
85/147
The moment he walked pain
shot through my abdomen, I
held my stomach.
Are you all right? he
questioned while he sat next
to me.
Its nothing. I replied.
Miss OMalley; you feeling
well? my sir questioned me.
Huh; I think I need to see
a nurse. I replied back.
Mr. Hedlund could you
accompany her; she has ahistory of being a klutz. My
Sir continued.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
86/147
I shrugged and came out of
the classroom with the new
guy behind. I think I can go
alone. I stated and was
about to turn around when I
saw him looking at me in a
state of shock. What
happened?
I followed his gaze and saw
the blood soiling my dress. Iremember losing my
consciousness.
When I woke up I was lying in
the Infirmary. I tried to get
up but my abdomen was killing
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
87/147
me. I looked around and I saw
Troy sitting across the room.
Your stitches opened. He
declared when I tried to get
up.
They called your parents;
its sad that your dress is
spoiled. He continued.
Why was he worrying about my
dress?
I just looked around and the
place was empty Where is
everyone? I was referring to
the doctor.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
88/147
The head mistress called
her. He replied.
I looked over my dress and
it was defectively soiled
with blood.
Damon entered the infirmary
How are you? he questioned
me while he saw my bloody
dress.
I am feeling better I
guess. I answered.
I brought you spare
clothes. He handed over a
Phoebe jersey kaftan dress.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
89/147
Thanks. I grabbed the
shirt. I have to change. I
pointed them to get out.
Are you done? Damon knocked
at the door. Yeah come on
in. I yelled.
Is he your boy friend?
Damon asked heedlessly.
What? I was shocked over
what he said.
Hes just a class mate. I
avoided looking at Troy.
My bad; do not be soagitated. Damon replied.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
90/147
The doctor came in shortly
after. I see that you have
already dressed. She looked
at me.
Just try walking less than
usual; and do not bend more
often, your stitches are new
so its going to hurt for a
while. She continued. I am
giving you pain relieversincase the pain increases.
She handed over to Damon.
I thought he was your boy
friend. She laughed while
she looked at Troy.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
91/147
Hes my brother and I am
single. I stated while
grabbing Damons arm.
Ah my mistake; He carried
you all the way here and
stayed so I thought. She
elucidated her presumption.
I just smiled at her. Thanks
for today. I stated to Troy
when we got out from the
infirmary.
No big deal. He replied.
Zuri. He called out.
Yeah I looked back.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
92/147
Your dress. He handed me my
ruined dress.
I saw his topaz eyes; it felt
like they were seeing through
me. Thanks. I stated and
walked behind Damon.
It seems that he likes you.
Damon declared while he
helped me with the seatbelt.
I sighed over what Damon was
acknowledging to me. I had to
meet him today. I remembered
when we reached home.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
93/147
I headed straight to my room
and I saw Clair already
sitting there.
What are you doing here? I
asked her naively.
Did the letters stop? she
asked abruptly.
Yeah they stopped coming. I
affirmed while eluding her
gape.
Come downstairs I made pasta
for you. she avowed while
heading out.
To avert my attention I
played music on my iPod and
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
94/147
decided to sleep for a while.
I felt a paper underneath my
hands which made my eyes pop
open.
Dear Zuri
I saw you at the infirmary, hope you are doing well. We will meet some other day.xoxoxoxoxo
I got up and walked over my
window and did not see
anyone. I looked at theletter again.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky

Letter 6
I picked out a Pleated wool-
blend dress with Hero bandage
tights with Sash printed
linen espadrille sandals.
I headed to Clairs bedroom
to borrow her Satchel bag.
She was fast asleep when I
entered the room.
Mom was dropping me off at
school today. Your dad is
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
96/147
coming this weekend. She
told me before I headed out.
I do not care. I replied
and shut the door.
I saw Tyson across the
hallway talking to Troy. I
walked over Your notes. I
stated while handing them
over.
How are you? Troy asked
while I turned.
I am fine. I answered.
Its Ivans birthday thisweekend; you should come.
Tyson suggested.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
97/147
You should definitely come.
Troy continued.
If I was feeling well I
surely will come, but where
is it? I questioned.
At Troys house; it is a
surprise party. Tyson
replied.
I would pick you up if you
were feeling well. Tyson
continued.
I just nodded.
I saw Evette standing withher locker Hey. I greeted
her.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
98/147
You free this weekend? I
questioned.
Why are you asking me this?
Evette questioned.
Its Ivans birthday this
weekend and Tyson told me to
come. I answered.
I have a family dinner.
Evette said mournfully.
I smiled over her
disappointment. First period
was physics and I was sitting
next to Troy and what
bothered me was that he was
right handed.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
99/147
What type of flowers do you
like? he asked in an
indiscernible tone.
Thats an unexpected
question. I whispered
candidly.
I am just curious about it.
He confirmed.
Mainly I like lilies. I
riposted without vacillating.
This might sound immediate
to you but would you like to
go out with me? he
questioned with his eyebrow
raised.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
100/147
You mean like a hangout or a
date? I solicited back.
If you enjoyed it we will
make it a date; for now lets
think of it as a hang out.
He proposed.
Lets presume that I like
the sound of that. I
riposted.
The conversation broke when
the bell rang.
I will pick you up at 7
today then. He stated while
I was about to leave.
I just nodded and left.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
101/147
I saw Lydia talking to Ivan
again and now that concerned
me. Not that I liked him or
anything but her gauche
behavior after seeing me was
just too peculiar.
Biology was something I did
not bother to study, maybe
because even if I did not
prepare for the tests I wouldstill get A no matter what.
During lunch Lydia was not
around and Evette was so busy
with her English assignment
that I did not tell her about
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
102/147
the recent things I found
out.
The day was soon over and I
was waiting by the bench when
I saw my mothers car pull
over. I did not talk to her
about anything. The dynamic
that my dad was returning
back again was the foremost
concern around me at thattime.
He will be at home waiting
for you. my mother riposted
while I was grabbing my
things.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
103/147
It took him two years to come
looking for me.
When I entered the house I
saw Clair sitting talking to
my father.
I need to talk to him. I
retorted while I entered the
room.
Clair soon left the room with
my mother following her.
Why did you show up here
again? I questioned him.
You are not safe here; and Ithink it is better if you
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
104/147
moved in with me for a couple
of days. He suggested.
The idea did not sound bad
for a while because that way
I could avoid all those
letters.
For how long can you keep me
with you? I questioned back.
I could keep you forever but
your mother needs you more
than me, but the idea of you
moving with me for a few days
is everything to me. he
answered back.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
105/147
Where would we live? I
asked.
I have bought an apartment
in Frankfurt and you could
stay there with me for a
while. He replied back.
What about my school? I
questioned him again.
You could take a few days
leave from school. He
proposed.
When are we leaving then? I
continued.
We could leave tomorrow
morning, I have bought
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
106/147
tickets for you. he
reassured me.
Then I will get a good night
sleep. I stated and left the
room.
Maybe we could re-unite this
time and its the best thing
happening to me right now,
this way my creeper would not
even know where I went and he
would stop bothering me.
I headed back to my room and
I remembered the hangout plan
I made with Troy. I completed
my homework and packed my
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
107/147
bags with clothes that I
could wear for two months.
After careful consideration;
decided to wear a two tone
bandage dress, with multi-
strap leather sandals and
accessorized.
This was the last day I was
going to hang out in Rosewood
and maybe after a month or
something I would show my
face, I knew that it was for
the best.
The doorbell rang and I went
downstairs. My father was
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
108/147
still at the house which was
a little bold for him to do.
Damon answered the door and I
saw Troy standing with a
bouquet of lilies. Your date
is here. Damon shouted.
Who is this young
gentleman? my father entered
in the picture.
Meet Troy, Troy he is my
biological dad you still need
to go through my step dad. I
smiled to both of them.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
109/147
Dad did not say a single word
and left the room. That was
rude.
I guess he did not like me.
Troy spoke out after a few
seconds.
We should go then. He
continued.
Yeah I have to be back by
10. I affirmed after closing
the door.
Your dad; why is he here?
he asked unexpectedly while
he ignited the engine.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
110/147
What type of question is
this? I was curious about
his answer.
I was just trying to make a
conversation. He said
heedlessly.
Hes just around for a
while; I am actually going
with him for a few days. I
registered to him.
Its been a while since we
hung out; and after the
divorce hes really made an
effort. I continued.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
111/147
For how long would you be
gone? he questioned.
For two weeks most probably;
its been a while since I had
been to Germany. I answered.
You are going to Germany.
He was amused by it.
My dad lives there; where
else would I go with him? I
said contentedly.
You really are going
abroad. He was rectified by
the thought.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
112/147
Its not like I am going for
a journey to the centre of
the world. I laughed.
What about school? When is
your flight? he asked.
Its tomorrow morning. I can
take two weeks off because of
the wound. I smiled
gleefully.
Where are we going? I
questioned.
Theres a party at a
friends house. He replied.
So whats your story? I
solicited him.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
113/147
My story is a bit
complicated. He replied
while I felt uneasiness in
the atmosphere.
What about your parents? I
asked.
My parents are happily
married; it sometimes feels
like a picture perfect
story. He answered.
You have any siblings? I
questioned.
I am the only child. He
replied while he parked the
car.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
114/147
What are you doing? he
asked while I opened my
curled hair.
Decided to lay them down for
the moment I answered back.
We were about to enter that
my cell phone rang.
Yeah Clair I am listening.
I answered the call.
Its mum; just come back
home, I will explain it
later. I heard her voice
slightly shiver.
Fine I will be right there.
I ended the call.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
115/147
What happened? Troy was
concerned.
I am sorry something came up
at home; I have to go. I
said and called out for a
taxi.
I will drop you off. He
continued.
No; you go in, enjoy the
party I will see you later.
I said and entered the taxi.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky

Letter 7
When I entered through the
front door I found my
suitcases packed and in front
in the hallway.
What the hell is happening?
I asked straight up.
We have to head straight to
the airport. My dad stated.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
117/147
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
118/147
I waved at them before
heading out.
I roughly tied my hair and
was about to call Evette, but
the car appeared out of
nowhere. The car went
straight into the tree. I
looked at dad but all I saw
was his head covered in
blood.
I tried to move but my leg
was stuck, the driver was
unconscious. I saw them walk
towards us but soon the
lights went out as everything
blurred before my eyes.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
119/147
At first I couldnt open my
eyes, the lights were
flashing like cameras. I got
up and looked around and what
freaked me out was it was not
a bloody hospital.
What the hell is happening?
I screamed when I saw Tyson
enter the room. How are you
feeling? he questioned.
Tyson, Why are you here? On
top of that where am I? I
asked hastily.
You are somewhere safe. He
was assuring.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
120/147
What about my father? I
asked while my throat was
aching.
He is also been taken care
off. He forwarded a glass of
water.
Why arent we at a
hospital? I looked down.
And then to my surprise I saw
Troy enter the room. I was
slightly shaken when I saw
him.
I am not getting anything.
I blurted out.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
121/147
I just could not let you
leave. Troy responded back.
Let me leave. I was
clueless.
Your dad said that he would
not come for you. he
continued.
We are talking about dad now.
Firstly, this is absurd that
after an accident I am at
your house. I replied while
getting up.
Who do you think caused theaccident? Tyson asked out
before leaving the room.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
122/147
My heart beat was fast now.
You guys caused the
accident? I was trying to
accept the truth.
How could you? I was about
to leave through the door.
Troy was standing right in
front of me now How-did-you
get-here-so-fast? I was
breathless and shocked to my
core.
It was you; it was you the
whole time. I was screaming
now while I moved back.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
123/147
What are you? the ground
beneath my feet was
disappearing quickly.
Just hear me out. He spoke
out and locked the door.
What do you want me to
hear? I was at variance with
him.
The only way we could get to
your dad was through you; he
came looking for you as soon
as he heard about us. He
continued.
Heard about you?
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
124/147
Your dad made a pact with
us; but he broke his promise
and the only way we could
seek revenge was through
you. he continued.
You used me to get to my
dad. I was trying to
understand.
You should rest; we will
talk later. He continued
before leaving the room.
I am not staying here. I
yelled.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
125/147
You have no other option.
He stated and locked the
room.
I did not know what time it
was when I heard the locks
open. I jumped up when I saw
his face.
This is kidnapping. I
clearly avowed.
You will understand
everything; you need rest.
He continued.
You think that stuffing me
into a room would make me
feel better? I want to see my
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
126/147
father; otherwise I swear I
will do something you will
regret. I threatened.
He walked closer and held my
face you thing you can harm
yourself around here; you
have no control over yourself
now because you belong to me
now.
You are making me hate every
inch of you. I replied.
You will hate your father
more when you find out the
truth perhaps maybe its time
that you should meet him. He
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
127/147
continued and grabbed my arm
and headed downstairs.
I saw my father lying down on
the ground. Let go of me. I
rushed towards my father.
Dad- Dad wake up. I was in
a terrible mess.
Zuri; are you alright? he
looked at my neck while
asking.
You should tell her the
truth. Somebody spoke behind
me.
I am Henry; Troys father.
He stated to me.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
128/147
You should tell your
daughter about how you sold
her. He continued.
Dad what are they talking
about? I was crying now.
He did not speak a word but I
assumed that he was still in
state of shock.
I do not think he can
explain it to you correctly;
your father made a deal with
us he could not fulfill, so
we asked him to pay the
debts. he stated.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
129/147
So the only way he thought
he could do that was to let
go of his most precious
thing. He continued.
I was trying to grasp what he
was telling me.
Soon we found out that he
had a daughter; so we made
the pact that he would let go
of his daughter forever, and
you will turn into one of
us. He stated.
What do you mean by one of
us? I questioned.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
130/147
My darling; did Troy not
tell you about us yet. He
asked me with a sadistic
laughter.
The Immortality, the new
beginning He continued.
Do not tell me that you guys
are freaking vampires. I saw
Lydia enter the room with
Ivan.
Lydia. I whispered.
So you also know my niece
Lydia. He asked me.
Lydia is your niece. I was
shocked to hear that.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
131/147
Dad just tell me that
whatever they are saying is a
lie. I was begging him.
What you want to believe is
the truth. Lydia spoke.
So you are all telling me
that this was all planned and
you guys are blood-suckers.
I said vehemently.
Seems she absorbed it well
enough Mr. Henry continued.
Troy, please take her now.
Its time. He ordered to
Troy.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
132/147
What do you mean by that?
Time for what? I questioned
while I saw Troy standing
next to me now.
I am not going anywhere. I
clearly stated but everything
was useless now.
Dad do something. I was
screaming while Troy held me
and headed upstairs.
I am begging you to let me
go. I was yelping for help.
I could have done that
before but now I cannot; I am
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
133/147
seriously in love with you.
he stated out.
If you loved me even a
slightest you would have told
me everything, you were
scaring the hell out of me
and you enjoyed it. I was
yelling.
There are somethings you do
not understand; but with time
everything will change we
will live together for
eternity. He was overwhelmed
by the thought.
Eternity I was laughing
hysterically now.
-
8/6/2019 Letters From the Sky
134/147
Please get dressed. He
stated and locked the room.
Letter 8
I will be turned into
something I never wanted.
Never dreamt that I wouldstand at this crossroad; if
my dadhad told me the truth
from the beginning things
wouldhave been different-
An embellished silk strapless
dress was laid on the bed in
front of me. Lydia entered
the room.

You were my friend. I
stated with disgust.
I am still your friend; we
need to get you dressed. She
replied.
What are they going to do to
me? I asked while she
brushed my hair.
Troy really loves you; he
wont make it painful for
you. she continued.
How can you say that he
loves me? I questioned.

If he did not love you he
would not have kept you alive
all this time. She replied.
You want me to think that my
fate is this. I was unsure.
What is your relationship
with Ivan and Tyson? I asked
hastily.
Noel is my fiance, and
Tyson is my cousin through my
mothers side. She answered.
You are all vampires? I was
confused.
We are all blood related;
you will understand once you

join the family. She
replied.
I looked more like a bride, I
never thought that time would
stop for me when I am only
18. I wore a gold quartz
bracelet and white gold
diamond studs and necklace.
Why am I dressed like a
bride? I asked heedlessly.
Before the initiation of
your vampire life you will be
married to Troy officially.
Lydia answered.
My eyes popped out.

No big deal; the family is
anxiously waiting for the new
family member. She
continued.
She helped me get downstairs
cause I just couldnt move.
Everything was prepared in
the exquisite way. I thought
that I would walk down the
aisle with my father but
right now everything was
different.
I saw my future vampire
husband right in front of me
and doing anything stupid
would be no good. Lydia my

maid of honor and Tyson and
Ivan Troys best man was
sounding terribly stupid.
I looked around and the whole
place was filled with the
vampire relatives. And I was
wedded to a vampire.
It did not bother that there
were vampires all around me
but that I would be like them
after a couple of hours was
heart dropping.
I am not feeling well. I
told Troy.

What happened? he looked
vexed but his qualms did not
affect me anymore.
I have to sleep. I said
vehemently and left him
standing alone.
Zuri- Zuri he called out
for me while I rushed
upstairs.
What? I shouted.
I cannot sleep anymore now?
I asked uncouthly.
Why are you so upset withme? he asked.

I cannot answer this
question for you because you
know exactly why I am acting
like this. I stated
frantically.
My chamber is downstairs on
the left. He registered to
me.
Oh now I can only sleep in
my husbands room. I was
yelling.
Zuri I am begging you; dont
make it hard for me. he was
right in front of me now.

I am not amazed by your
speed walking so please stop
doing this. I headed
downstairs.
Troy grabbed my arm and now I
was only inches away from his
face, I saw the lust in his
eyes. If you dare to touch
me again I swear I will
fucking kill you myself. Ipushed him aside.
I did it once I can do it
twice; and you know its
true. I continued.
Whatever you are doing will
only cause collateral

damage. He was shouting at
me now.
I already am the collateral
damage. I registered to him.
I headed into his room, I
broke every single thing,
tore all the pillows. I felt
like crying. Shortly Troy
entered the room and was not
shocked to see the state of
the room.
He perfectly knew that I had
gone rogue and nobody could
stop me now, and if he turned
me I would definitely run
away.

To share the same bed with
someone was totally awkward.
I could not sleep with the
thought of sleeping next to
him. My thoughts were
disturbed with the noise
caused in the house.
Troy rushed out to see what
was happening while my eyes
were half closed. When Iopened the door the whole
damn house was on fire. I
knew who caused it, and
thats why I locked the door,blocked the doorway and the
windows.

I clearly knew that when Troy
would register that I am not
around it would be too late.
He would die if he tried to
safe me.
It only took him two minutes
and then he was knocking on
the door Zuri open it up he
was shouting.
Lets go Troy. I heard
Tysons voice telling him to
leave.
Zuri open the door. He
tried to break it open but I
figured the hallway would
already be lit with fire.

He broke the bloody door open
but the room was already
covered with flames Zuri he
looked at me while I was
standing by the window.
The debt will end today; if
I die everything will be the
same as before. I replied.
You have to come with me he
was literally begging.
I do not want to stay in
this twilight; I dont want
to share the darkness of your
life with you, I know you can
find your way through this

but I will never. I told
him.
I saw tears in his eyes but I
stood still and did not move
an inch while the air around
me suffocated me. I dropped
on the floor I saw Tyson and
Ivan carry him out of the
room and that was the last I
