The Prank

It was around ten at night and Alex was getting ready for bed. It was going to be a long day at school tomorrow and he was absolutely dreading it. He had just missed another week of school for another bloody mission. And of course he had many more nasty scars and bruises that he still needed to find explanations for.

He snapped out of his thoughts and went to check his email, which he hadn't done in a while. Most of them were junk mail from random stores and stuff, but one of them caught his eye. It was labeled Anonymous. He debated for a couple of minutes if he should open it or not and finally decided to.

ANONYMOUS

"ALEX RIDER, WE WILL FIND YOU AND THEN WE WILL KILL YOU."

Immediately after reading this Alex could feel the adrenaline racing through his body. He quickly shut his laptop. No way in heck was he going to respond to that creepy email. It could be any of the hundreds or maybe even thousands of enemies he had made in the past year and sending them an email back would give them a better chance of finding him. He was tempted to call MI6, just to be on the safe side. But, they would probably make a big fuss and end up sending him to Breacon Beacons or something and he was determined to not let that happen.

Not everything added up though. If it was a criminal organization wouldn't they have signed their name?Actually, why would they have given him a heads up at all? Was this some cruel game or joke? In the past everybody had sent his death threats to MI6.

He found it kind of sad that he did indeed have death threats... Its not like he tried to put himself in these situations or anything... In the end he decided that it would be the best just to go to bed and wait until the morning to check his email again.

To prepare himself for if something was to go wrong, he checked his room for bugs and put his pistol on his nightstand. He made sure to conceal it the best he could because he knew that Jack would have a fit if she saw him with it. ….

A couple of minutes later he found himself laying in bed trying to fall asleep, but failing miserably at it. Finally after about an hour he fell into a troubled sleep.

Alex heard a piercing scream. He ran into Jacks room only to find her laying dead in the middle of the floor, surrounded by a puddle of her own blood. He looked up and saw the person from the email. He had an evil smile on his face.

"I told you we would find you Alex."

Alex tried to run, but he went no where. He tried to scream, but nothing came out. All of a sudden more people he had never seen before started appearing in front of him with evil smiles on their faces.

Suddenly a blurry figure appeared. She walked closer and Alex could see the red hair. It was Jack!

"Alex, you killed me. I could have started a family. I could have done anything I wanted with my life. But, instead I threw it all away to watch over you and this is how you repay me? Now I must kill you and make you suffer what I have suffered through."

Alex tried to scream again and nothing came out. He stayed frozen still as Jack pushed the knife into his heart.

Alex shot up out of bed. He was panting and in a cold sweat. He was relieved that it was just a dream. He knew that it would be useless trying to go back to bed so he decided on taking a shower. He silently cursed when he found out that it was only one in the morning. It was going to be a long night...

An hour later Alex found himself rereading the email over and over again. It surprised him when he found another email.
