I'll mouth, ''I love you.'' 

Chapter 5
Avalaya

''So what's your last class?'' Jo asked, smiling. I showed her my schedule and she nodded. Honestly I hated the feeling of being mute, I didn't have an opinion when it came to most things. ''Oh cool, I've got english as well! The teacher is Mr Peet. He's awesome  and super hot.'' I followed them to the english room. 

''Hey, Mr Peet, this is the new girl Avalaya,'' Aaron said. My eyes widened in fear as I saw who Mr Peet was. I should've known that there would be nobody else with the last name 'Peet'. 

*flashback* I was running around in my backyard, trying to get the nasty image of the human remains in that hole out of my mind.  It had been exactly one day since I got home from the camping trip. After I arrived back at the camp site we continued the game of truth or dare. I continued playing around and accidentally got the ball I had been kicking over the next door neighbours fence. ''Mummy, I got the ball over the fence,'' I told her. 

''Go ask Mrs Peet for it.'' I walked outside and went to my next door neighbour and knocked on the door. Mrs Peet was a really nice lady with a kid who was ten years older then me. The door opened not to reveal a plum old lady but a young man. Her son. He was the total opposite to the nice lady, he was ruthless and was in jail every month! 

''Hello Avalaya,'' he said. 

''H-how do you know my name?'' I demanded. 

''Avalaya, we've been next door neighbours for five years, of course I know your name.'' 

''Can I get my ball?'' 

''Sure, come in.'' I followed him out into the backyard and got my ball. Before I left he grabbed hold of my wrist. I tried to wriggle out of his tight grip but he had me against the wall. ''S-stop, you're hurting me,'' I said when he put his hand around my neck. 

''Say Avalaya, what did you see on that camping trip?'' he asked, a smirk playing on his face. 

''Nothing,'' I lied. 

''I know you saw what was in that hole and I know you know the little secret but Avalaya you're not going to say a word ever again are you?'' 

''N-no…'' 

''I will be back for you, if you ever talk again.'' I ran home. *end of flashback*

Being the stupid ten year old I was, I talked. I told my mum what he had done to me and then the next day, they came for me. They came to kill me. I looked up to the man who was one of the faces, haunting my past. ''Avalaya! What are you doing here? I never thought I'd see you again!'' 

''You know her?'' Aaron asked. 

''Old family friend, take your seat, I want to have a word with Avalaya.'' Aaron told him I was mute and when we were alone, he smirked.  ''Well haven't you been such a good girl, I'm sure he'll be proud…'' I didn't say anything; I couldn't say anything. 

''That wasn't the end,'' he whispered. ''We'll be back for you.''
