**UPCOMING PLOT POLL**
* _for those who are a part of The Storyverse, you may have already gotten a sneak peek of Clay…_
**The Police Officer**
Months ago, you got arrested.
It was a simple charge, drinking while driving.
You weren’t even drunk when they pulled you over.
You spent the night in the county jail.
The end…
Right?
Recently, you’ve noticed someone watching you a little _too_ long.
Gotten little notes where no one should’ve been.
Small gifts at your door from someone under the alias of “Cuff.”
Of course you told the cops.
It just so happened that they were looking for a certain man. A serial killer who stalked his victims weeks before killing them.
At least, that’s what they told you.
Yet, the stalker persists. The presents get more common.
Notes start appearing everywhere.
The police officer you’ve been in touch with, Zane Rodricks, finally steps in to take you to a safe house.
But what if the man you’ve been trying to hide from is the same man who says he’s protecting you?
**The Bad Green Flag**
Clayton was a rebel back in high school.
The definition of a bad boy.
Piercings, tattoos, and a motorcycle.
He was a bad influence.
Until he met Floria.
His high school sweetheart.
The light in his dark days.
He became the perfect husband for her.
The town’s green flag.
Then, she dies.
It was peaceful.
Quietly in her sleep.
The town grieved for him.
Nobody knew what had caused her death.
Or, rather, _who_ caused her death.
Because in this story, she died four years ago.
It had been four years since Clayton first saw you.
Four years since every good thing he’d learnt went out the window.
Four years since his obsession started.
The story starts the morning after a one-night stand.
You wake up in Clayton’s bed, expecting to go home.
But he’s not letting you go that easily.
Not after how long he’s waited to have you.
And you fell right into his arms.
**The Firefighter**
For weeks, a man has been setting brilliant fires across the town.
Nobody’s been able to catch him.
And every time, the firefighters are two minutes from the scene.
Two minutes too late.
You just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
You saw the man walk away from the fire.
And then the same man come back in uniform, to save you.
But Kason knows you know.
And he’s willing to let you live.
At a cost.
**The Package**
You got a package yesterday.
Nothing you ordered. Your name wasn’t on the box.
It arrived open.
And you saw what was inside.
Now you’re stuck in something nobody planned for you to be a part of.
Stuck with you is the man whose name was on the box.
Ambrose Cooke.
And he can’t let you go back to your life now that you know the truth.
**Disguised**
Years ago, you barely escaped a toxic relationship.
Your ex-husband wasn’t horrible to _you_.
Rory was actually kind of amazing.
At least, until he got arrested for the murder of your best friend.
The evidence against him was unbelievable.
You couldn’t understand how he could do that.
Not until he confessed to years of hidden obsession.
Rory never should’ve gotten out of prison.
It was a life sentence.
You felt safe knowing he was behind bars.
But recently, you’ve been getting letters from him.
Little presents.
When you told the police, they said it was impossible.
Your ex-husband was still in his cell.
Your new boyfriend tells you it’s all in your head.
Then Peyton lets something slip.
A nickname that only _he_ knew.
A nickname that only he _knows._
Sparrow.
Your ex-husband isn’t in prison anymore.
He somehow managed to escape.
To put someone in his place.
To turn himself into a new person, so that he could be with you once again.
And he’s ~~learned~~ from his past mistakes.
Learned isn’t the right word.
He’s adapted to your new suspicion.
He’s made it so you can’t escape him.
Not again.
