Sorry guys! I know I haven't been on in a while. I've had a lot going on with family members and vacations. To make up for it, I wrote this story. I was up one night and it just popped into my head. So, without further ado, I give you Vengeance on an Innocent Soul.

Riley woke up with a smile on her face. The feeling in her stomach made her all giggly. She walked to her closet and picked out a turquoise sweater and a pair of black leggings since it was cold. She also put on her brown Uggs. As she was taking off her pajamas, she got a text message. It was from Lucas.

Good morning, City Girl :))

Riley smiled as the butterflies in her stomach grew. She loved talking to Lucas. She instantly responded.

Morning, Country Boy :))

Riley hit send and took off her pajamas. She put on her sweater and leggings. As she was putting on her socks, she got another text.

What are you doing? ;)

Riley laughed at the winky face. She slipped on her pink fuzzy socks and responded.

Getting ready for school. What are you doing? :D

Riley put her phone on her dresser and put on her Uggs. She went to the bathroom and brushed her hair and teeth. She was deciding what she was going to do with her hair when her phone buzzed again.

Can't that boy put his phone down for five minutes and let me get ready? Riley laughed to herself as she walked back to her room. When she checked who the message was from, the number was unknown. Not long after she had picked up her phone, Lucas texted her. She read the one from Lucas first.

Texting you and eating breakfast :))

She responded immediately.

Awwwe! What are you eating?

Then Riley read the one from the unknown number. She gasped at what she saw.

Watch your back, Riley Matthews

Riley walked downstairs and joined her family for breakfast. As she was eating pancakes, Lucas's ringtone played throughout the room. She answered the phone, despite her father's wishes.

Hey, what's up?
I'm on my way to pick you up. I'll be there in ten minutes.
Okay!

She hung up the phone and finished her breakfast. She rushed to her room and braided her hair to the side. She didn't put on any makeup. She put on her perfume and grabbed her purse and ran back downstairs. As she reached the living room, the sound of the buzzer was heard.

It's Lucas

Riley rushed over to the speaker box and said, "Come on up!" As she grabbed her backpack, Lucas came through the door.

"Ready to go, Riles?" he asked. She nodded and waved to her family. They rushed downstairs and out of the complex. Riley decided to break the silence.

"Lucas, can I tell you something?" Riley asked. She was about to break the ice about the text she had received.

"You can tell me anything," Lucas responded. He looked down at her hand and interlaced it with his. Riley smiled at his gesture and spoke up.

"I received a text this morning from an unknown number. It said 'Watch your back, Riley Matthews', but I didn't respond," Riley said as she and Lucas stopped walking and faced each other. Lucas couldn't believe that someone would want to mess with his city girl.

"Riley, I'm walking you home and spending every living and breathing moment with you until we figure out who this guy is," Lucas said as he brought his girlfriend in for a hug. "I'll always protect you."

Riley smiled to herself. Lucas really was a one of a kind boy. Then, out of no where, Riley's phone buzzed. When she looked at her phone to see who it was, she gave Lucas a look. It was from the mystery person.

Your boyfriend can't protect you forever!

Lucas was enraged. Someone was threatening his girl. Whoever this person was, they were messing with the wrong guy. He grabbed Riley's hand and interlaced his fingers with hers. She was so close to him that she could put her head on his shoulder. So, she did. As they reached the end of Bleecker Street, it started snowing.

*At School*

Maya was waiting for Riley in front of her locker with Farkle. Maya was already mad that morning. Ginger, her ferret, had peed on her new shoes.

"Farkle where are they?" Maya asked impatiently as she paced back and forth in front of Riley's locker. No sooner did the words come out of her mouth when Riley and Lucas came walking in.

"They're here," said Farkle as Maya shot him a look. They noticed that Riley and Lucas both had snowflakes in their hair. Riley opened her locker to put her backpack inside it when she received another text. It was the mystery person once again.

Don't get to cozy with your boyfriend. I'll get you. Soon.

Maya didn't notice the scared look on Riley's face, and neither did Farkle, but Lucas did.

"Riley, was it that mysterious person again?" asked Lucas as he stepped close to Riley. Riley nodded her head in response.

'What mystery person?" asked Maya and Farkle at the same time. Riley explained to them the situation and they started to get protective of Riley as well, but not as much as Lucas. Then, another ding was heard. It was Riley's phone that buzzed. She looked down slowly and released a sigh of relief when she saw the text was from her mom.

Love you baby girl! Have a wonderful day!

Riley smiled at the text. You would think she'd be embarrassed, but she wasn't. At least her mom cared enough to send her a message in the morning.

Then, Riley felt a hand in her hair. It was Lucas's hand.

"You've got a little something in your hair," he said as he pulled out a snowflake. Riley smiled and ran her fingers through his hair to get the snowflakes out of his hair.

"Gross!' said Maya and Farkle at the same time. Maya made gagging noises along with Farkle.

"Just kiss her already!" said Farkle as he covered his eyes and Maya's.

Lucas lifted Riley's chin up and gave her a quick peck on the lips before class started. The only thought running through Lucas's mind was, "No one is touching my princess, unless they want to deal with me."

And there's chapter one. I know it's not long, but I did what I could. If this story can get five reviews or more on this chapter, I'll upload the next one. Anyway, what were your thoughts? What would you like to see in chapter 2? Review, follow, and favorite! Until next time, loves. :) :*
