I stared frozen at the sight, all my nerves were pricked with sheer horror

On his hands was a harmless looking doll, at least to an outsider it wasn't in anyway dangerous.

It was a white little bunny.

My very air was kicked out of my lungs.

It was him..

I shook my head in denial trying to deny the possibility .

It couldn't be.

It was all because of me..

He found us...

He had taken Hazel

And he wanted me to know that it was he who took her

"Grace are you okay?" I heard Shawn say, but his voice sounded as though from a far distance.

"He took her " was the last thing I whispered before the whole world began to spin around me.

Chapter FIFTY

GRACIE

My gaze flickered open slowly, I blinked confused as to where I was, my gaze searched around slowly to be met gaze with Shawn's.

My brain became functioning again

Hazel!

I flung myself out of the couch fighting back a wave of headache.

I scanned my gaze around a part of me praying that she would come running through the door this very moment but Shawn's grave expression told me it would be anything but not.

"How do you feel?" He clasped my shoulders forcing me to look at him.

"You have to take it easy or you wouldn't even be alive to see her return!"

"You don't understand he..h..." my words choked up in my throat, I was hyperventilating once again

He hugged me tightly rocking my shoulders gently.

"Just breathe okay...It will be fine "

"I only want to find Hazel" my voice came out muffled against his shoulders

It was all my fault if Hayden really got to her .I should have been the one watching her, I shouldn't have left her alone for a moment .

I managed to compose myself before we finally pulled apart slowly.

"Blaming ourselves won't solve anything, we'll work together to find her okay?"

I nodded slowly blinking back fresh tears.
