I woke up with a sudden jolt to a loud sound coming from outside my house. I looked at the nightstand clock on my bedside table, it said 2 A.M. I again heard a similar sound. Standing up, I moved towards the window to see what was happening outside and what I saw was dead end scary. Cars were on fire, yards destroyed, properties wrecked.
And then I ran towards the bedroom door calling out my mum and Emma, but I heard no voice in return. I searched around the house panicking. Coming back to my room, I looked for my phone. Turning the screen on, I saw a few texts from Emma. I opened the texts and it said-
< Hey sis, so apparently there is this workers protest that started few hours ago. A little before we decide to leave. As they have been vandalizing all around, the goverment has decided to put on a curfew. >
< Which means that we won't be able to come back tonight. Also, the fun part is that schools have been closed for two days, until the situation is in control.... yeah pretty much it. >
< I love u. Be safe and don't go outside. And we are fine, so don't worry! >
< AND I'M STUCK IN A HOUSE WITH HOTTEST GUY ON THE PLANET! >
< Gonna give u details when I'm backk. Byee. >
Reading the texts, I took a deep breath. At least they are safe, so that's a good thing. Just then, another message from an unknown number popped up on my screen. I opened it and what I saw shook me. It said-
< Hey. I know it's random but you have got to trust me, Eve. I want you to check the locks of all the doors and windows of your house. Don't open them at any cost. People out on your street are very harmful. Okay, now be a good girl, go to your room and lock that door as well. Don't be scared. I'm just a block away from your place. I will come as soon as i can. >
I read the message over and over again, knowing who it was from at the very first instance. Not being able to register the fact that it's been almost 2 years since he last contacted me, I stare at my screen with a million thoughts running through my mind.
Just then the phone beeps again, this time with small text-
< Answer me, Eve. >
I reply with a hesitant-
< Okay. Also, are you the person who I think
you are? >
Immediately the phone beeps again-
< Yes, princess. >
I leave it at that and check all the locks as he told me to. I get back to my room, locking it's door as well. Again, my phone beeps-
< Good girl >
(This stalker definitely knows how to call names. This is almost like the 100th nickname he has called me. I know I'm exaggerating but still.)
I unknowingly smile looking at the text. Out of the blue, I hear a window shatter and instinctively I know it's the one in the kitchen. My frightenedly run into the bathroom and lock myself inside. Again, it being a text from him-
< They are in your house, Mia Cara. You did a good job hiding in the bathroom. But no matter what happens, do not come outside. I have reached your place and I'm going to take care of them, so don't worry. >
I start sobbing out of fright but i knew I was going to be safe because he will find a way to protect me. But it's scary nonetheless.
Backstory: 4 months ago
I was in the park, it was almost around 12:30 A.M. (I couldn't sleep but at this point, you guys should just know, I am the fucking maniac.) [It's me, Hi, I'm the problem, it's me~]. From the corner of my eye, I notice a group of guys coming towards me. I tried changing the path but I guess it was too late. They had already blocked any possible ways for me to leave. They were reeking alcohol which made be a little drowsy. One of them spoke, "Come with us, missy and we will give you one of the best nights of your life." I don't know what was more disgusting, him practically treating me like I was some slut or the audacity he had to have to be even saying something like that to any woman. In front of all those men [boys], fighting back just didn't seem practical. So I tried scaring them by saying- "I'm going to scream if you even try to take step forward".The very next second, I regretted what I just said because one of them took a step forward. "What are you gonna do ehh? Haha, I can make you scream in many more ways".
Just when I thought there was no hope, a gunshot was fired in at a distance. Listening to it, those scumbags ran away. Buch of jerks with balls of name. I look in the direction it was fired and I saw a man in a black attire, head to toe. I knew it was him. It had to be him. (Okay but why the fuck does he have a gun?!).
We made an eye contact and I expected him to come to me but instead, with his hand still holding the gun, he pointed towards my house, signing for me to leave. Knowing it was probably the best choice, I left. He followed me making sure I arrived safely and left.
Flashback End.
A few hours later,
I don't even know how, but I ended up sleeping in the bathtub. Slowly opening my eyes, light from the bedroom window hit my eyes. I recalled all of what happened last night. I checked my phone and almost like he knew I just woke up, I instantly received a text from him saying-
< Good morning, darling. Everything has been taken care of. The window has been changed too. So, don't be scared and just so you feel safe, a few of my people will be patrolling around your house. Text me if you need anything. >
I reply by with a-
< Thankyou. >
I mean what else am I supposed to say?!. As much as I wanted answers on how did he know they were going to be here or how did he do what he did or why did he not meet me, I also knew I practically had no right to confront him right now, after all that help I received from him.
I called my sister Emma to check up and her and mum. She immediately answered-
"Yooooooo". I giggled in response and just like any other time she didn't let me speak and instead started shouting. "WE ARE ON OURR WAYY BACKKKK" she said in a musical tone. I finally getting a chance to speak said, "I'm waiting for you guys. See ya.".
