Hide and seek

I stood rooted at my spot for how long I have no recollection of but the dull ache in my feet conveyed that it had been more than what my body could withstand. My cheeks were damp with tears and felt like I had nothing remained to live for.

Maybe It was indeed my fault, after all, I always took him for granted, didn't give him the love and affection he deserved but then I did try my best, I gave him everything I was capable of giving to someone.

Supporting my weakened body on the wall, I lightly pounded my head against the wall, crying.

I cursed myself for getting swayed by another man, I cursed myself for being a stupid girl who couldn't get a grip of her hormones. Why was I so pulled towards the guy I barely knew? I was well aware that I would be jeopardizing my relationship with Jimin yet why didn't I stop him from kissing me. I was hating my guts, I wanted to cut my lips off for kissing another man.

Suddenly the lights began flickering and the immediate shift of air from cold to absolutely chilling made me comprehended what was coming for me.

This made me realize whatever this was, it was watching me 24 hours and liked to hunt me whenever my mind and body was weakened. Just like how the lion chose its prey, stalked it and attacked it at the most vulnerable moment.

Mustering up my courage I wandered my eyes around and in no time I spotted a black figure wearing the same mask at the end of the hallway with Smeraldo in his hand.

The fear bombarded my sense at once as my heart nearly leaped out of my mouth while I took abrupt steps opposite to direction where he was staring me from.

The first thought that came to me was to get hold of my cross so I leaped to grab the cross and the salt when the lights in the hallway went dead.

All my resolution to face my fear shattered as if it was made up of thin glass and I was already trembling in dread.

It was going to get me today. I was certain that today was the day it would finish me.

The light was back on its own and so did the entity that was following me which was now a lot closer than it was a few seconds ago.

With a shuddering breath, I dashed away from it towards the fire-escape when the light went out again as if it was playing hide and seek with me.
