Chapter 2

Th next morning was the same. I got to work on time, served customers but there was one person missing.

Mr Black.

I knew it. After I rejected him, things will not be the same anymore. I bet he found some other cafe or maybe another girl.

What, no. Pfft I don't care.

I had a short shift today so I went home and decided to have a movie night to get my mind off Mr Black.

As I was walking towards the bus stop, I felt like someone was following me so i stopped and turned around.

I saw the black Mercedes from yesterday again and it stopped when I stopped. I felt a chill go down my spine.

"Hey! If you keep following me, I'm going to call the police! I shouted while taking my old, broken phone out of my bag. I don't even know if it worked.

I tried to see who the driver was but the windows were tinted so it was difficult to see the inside of the car at all.

The driver stayed in its spot for a few more seconds before turning the car around and driving away. I quickly took note of the number plate in my head.

I reached home and showered. I changed into shorts and a shirt, and got a blanket. I wrapped the blanket around me and went to the cupboard to see if I had any snacks.

Ugh no snacks but that's not surprising. I gave enough money to pay the bills and to eat once a day. Sometimes I would have to eat the same food the next day.

I closed the cupboard door and went to the living room. I threw myself on the couch and switched the tv on. I switched through each channel to find something decent to watch and came across a random movie that was in the middle.

I decided to go with it and made myself comfortable. I checked the time and it was 7:36. I usually go to bed at 8 cause if I don't, I'll have a hard time waking up in the morning. Tonight, I decided to go to sleep at 9 cause i deserved to enjoy myself.

Suddenly, the lights of the house went off. Ughhh are you serious? I went outside and checked the meter box. Thank god the electricity didn't get cut cause I won't get paid till the end of the week.

Wait. The lights can only be turned off if someone turned them off. They can't turn off by themselves. I shivered and slowly turned around but there was no one there.

I ran back inside the house and locked the door. I was so scared. I heard footsteps behind me.

I turned around so fast, I nearly fell.

"Mr Black?" What?

"Hello darling." He spoke back.

"What are you doing here and how do you know where I live?" I didn't like where this was going.

"I will explain that later. Right now, you need to come with me."

He started walking towards me fast but I ran to the couch. He was on the other side of the couch and tried to come to my side but I didn't let him. We went around in circles.

"God dammit Luna, come here!" He jumped over the couch and came to my side but I was smart and went to the other side.

"We can do this all night." He said and smiled.

"Get out or I'll call the cops!" I shouted at him.

"No can do sweetheart. I'm not leaving without you."

"He came to my side again and I ran to the other side. If the situation was different, I would've laughed. Like Mr Black trying to chase me.

He jumped again when I was busy thinking that and nearly grabbed my arm when I went to the other side.

He was blocking the way to the door so I couldn't run past him so I needed something to distract him.

I suddenly had an idea.

I looked at the door and pretended someone was there.

"Hey." I said and waved at my imaginary person at the door.

This distracted him and he turned around. I grabbed the blanket and threw it on him. Yes!

I was about to run past him when he ran to the door and stood in front of it. Oh come on!

He started to walk slowly towards me and I began walking backwards.

"Run." He whispered playfully.

And I did.

I ran upstairs and went to my room. I looked right and left looking for a place to hide until I can run out the front door. Hopefully he goes in the bathroom so I can run out. I chose the closet. I ran inside, pulled the clothes apart and sat down. I pulled the clothes back and hid myself with them. I closed the closets door and listened.

I was trying to breathe quietly but I was scared shitless. He was in the house looking for me.

What does he want from me?

I heard him open my bedroom door.

"Luna my darling, I do love a game of hide and seek but you chose to play with the wrong person because."

And then it was all quiet. My heart was beating faster. Suddenly, the closet door opened and the clothes were pushed aside exposing me to the him. He looked down at me and smiled with his gorgeous teeth.

"I always win."

He grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the closet.

"Help!" I yelled out hoping someone would hear me.

My mouth was covered with his hand.

"Shush! We wouldn't want your neighbours calling the cops now, do we?"

I narrowed my eyes at him and he just looked at me. He pulled me out of the room but not without me holding on to the walls and everything we went pass.

"You're like a child!" He yelled.

"And you're a psychopath!" I yelled back at him. "Let me go!"

We made it to the front door and I was about to scream when he covered my mouth again to stop me from screaming for help.

"I hate you." I said but it came out muffled to him.

"Sorry, can't hear you." He said.

He pulled me outside and I saw the same Mercedes Benz I saw yesterday and today. I looked down at the number plate and saw that it was the same number plate I took note of. He pulled me towards the car. No this can't be happening.

I bit his hand and he uncovered my mouth.

"Ow!" Serves him right.

"If you don't let me go right now, I'll-" i didn't get to finish my threat.

He pushed me against his car and held me in place.

"You'll what? Call the cops on me?" He mocked me.

I had another idea.

"I'm sorry Mr Black but you brought this on yourself." I told him.

"For the last time, don't call me-"

I kicked him in the crotch as hard as I can.

He grunted and fell to the floor in pain.

"I'll do that but worse next time!" I yelled at him and ran towards the woods to lose him. I decided not to go to to any of my neighbours house. I didn't want to put them in any type of danger Mr Black was capable off. He was unpredictable. Who knew this would happen?

Well I certainly didn't.
