So here it is! I hope you enjoy it, this story is taking a more creepy turn to it ;)

Two Years Later.

"Did you have a good day sweetheart?" Sophie asked, she smiled and crouched down to her two year old son's level. "Give mummy a kiss, sweetie." she pointed towards her cheek, automatically her son leaned in and kissed her cheek quickly. She frowned once he shook his head quickly and threw his arms around her neck. "I'll take that as a no." she frowned and lifted her two year old into her arms, she placed him on the side of her waist and ruffled his brown hair. Tobias Matthew Anderson had brown scruffy hair and light blue eyes like his mother's, his face was square and he wasn't a very fear-free boy. He was born two years ago on the 15th of September, which was weird because Sophie's birthday was the day before.

"Tobias is a very clever boy." a woman's voice croaked from the doorway, Sophie turned around and jumped slightly at the sight of her. She had cuts on her face, her head was slightly twisted at an angle and her face was a white pale colour. Her hair, was dirty blonde that reached slightly over her face. Her eyes were blue, almost a grey pale. Tobias whimpered at the sight of the woman and nuzzled his face into his mother's neck. Sophie frowned and kissed the top of her son's head, into his brown hair. She looked back up and the woman had vanished, Sophie swallowed slightly and shook her head before blinking.

"That was a bit weird." Sophie swallowed, she slowly backed out of the nursery with Tobias in her arms as she pushed open the doors. She moved out into the busy streets of New York, her husband waiting at their white BMW Coupe. She smiled slightly at Ciaran, trying to ignore the chill running up her spine as she handed over Tobias to his father. Sophie and Ciaran Anderson had got married on the 16th of Novemeber, since then they'd been happily married in New York with their son and friends. No family.

"Are you alright?" Ciaran asked, he backed back out of the car. Sophie looked down at him from looking around at the New York streets, she smiled at him as her husband pulled himself away from strapping their son into his car seat. "You seem a bit, off."

Sophie nodded, a fake smile appearing across her lips. "I'm fine." she pulled him close, wrapping her arms around his neck. Ciaran grinned and wrapped his arms around Sophie's waist, leaning in and gently kissing her. "But I did miss you." she muttered inbetween kisses, her fingers gently running across the hair's on his neck.

Ciaran smiled, kissing his wife once. "I missed you too, Sophie Sarah Anderson." he muttered against her neck, she smiles at the mention of her new name and rested her face into his neck.

"I love you." Sophie muttered, she kissed his shoulder and looked up slightly. And, out of the corner of her eye the woman appeared in the streets. Dirty blonde hair, eyes as pale as the clouds. Twisted head and strange clothes, Sophie swallowed. She could hear her husband telling her he loved her, but she couldn't listen. She tried not to dig her nails into Ciaran's neck from how terrified she was. Sophie jammed her eyes shut, clinging onto her husband a little bit more. Once her eyes opened and Ciaran had let go, she quickly got into the passenger seat of the car knowing that the woman had disappeared. She sat into the leather seat, closing her door gently as though she didn't want to be heard. Before Ciaran had got in, she rested her head back on the car seat and turned her head to look in the mirror. She swallowed deeply, the woman was there. Looking the same as she looked in the nursery, Sophie shook her head and composed herself as Ciaran got into the car.

"Ready to go?" Ciaran asked, he smiled at his wife and closed his car door. Sophie nodded quickly, her husband frowned but started up the BMW anyway. He drove away, Sophie silently whimpering as she looked back in the mirror at the woman still stood there. Maybe it was her imgination, right? It had to be, this wasn't real.

The shimmers of light surrounded her, the woman's head twisted to an odd angle to stare at the woman. Her name, was Sophie Sarah Anderson. Nee, Sophie Sarah Temple. The woman glanced down at her clothes when Sophie wasn't gaping at her, they were drawn with blood and leather. Her gun rested in her belt, she raised a shaking pale hand to her belt but didn't pull the gun out. Instead, she took out a camera. She raised it to Sophie's son, taking numberess of pictures before disappearing into the shimmers of light behind her that she knew Sophie Anderson couldn't see.

A/N; Creepy? Yes? Good ;)
