Chapter 10

The door to my room opened. My heart is beating very fast. What will he do? My heart is going to explode. I will die from a heart attack. Slowly I lifted my head, my eyes pupils got big and I saw….

And I saw aunt Jennifer was standing at the door. “Did I disturbed you, I knocked on your door but it was open so I came in”, she said to me in a sweet voice. O I forgot. I opened the door because he has keys. locking won't work. If the door is open I can run away. I sigh in relief after seeing her thank god it's an aunt. “ No you're not disturbing me please come in. Do you need my help in something,” I asked her? “ No. I don't need anything. I just wanted to check on you before I go to sleep” she said in a sweet voice. “ I'm totally fine there is no need to worry about me. You should go and sleep. You need your beauty sleep. Tomorrow you have a date with my uncle you should look good”.I said while smiling at her mischievously. “ Stop teasing your poor aunty,” she said while blushing.

After chatting for some time we both said our goodnight and then she left. Aunt left but the fear of his brain in my room was still there. What will I do if he barges now into my room? I need to find a permanent solution for it. He is such a devil. What should I do? Should I hang the Holy cross on my door? Devils can't enter the room where the cross is on the door. I had seen it in movies. Yes, I should try it if it works. He won't be able to enter my room. I smirked at my plan. The whole night I was thinking how will I protect myself if he brags in my room. Last night I didn't sleep well. Suddenly I remembered his words “someone won't be able to sleep at night,” I said in a cold voice as he said. He was right. I didn't sleep well last night. I have big bags under my eyes. I saw my face in the mirror, O god today my face is looking like a custard apple.

I stepped out of my bathroom and went to my walk-in closet. I took out my cotton shorts and I wore them with my loose top. I'm feeling tired. My stomach started growling. I need to have my breakfast. After changing I waited for some time. I will go down when he is done with his breakfast. I went down tiptoeing there was no one thank god. I went to the kitchen, took my breakfast, and came to my room. I will avoid him as much as possible. I don't want to die now. I'm too young for it. After eating breakfast I went down to keep plates. I was about to enter the kitchen when I saw him standing there taking my steps back I started observing him. He was searching for something. What is he searching for? Then I saw he found what he wanted and when I saw the thing he wanted my body started trembling in fear.

Keeping plates on a table near me I ran to my room I closed the door and slid down “ Why…….Why…..he….he was holding the knife is he going to kill me with it and he was smirking while holding a knife. Does he was imagining my cold-blooded murder scene O god please save your poor child from the devil” I prayed to god. I didn't dare to step out of my room. I read a book to kill time. “ Why is time passing so slow,” I exclaimed in frustration. Now it is lunchtime.” But I don't want to go out of my room” after hearing my words my stomach started growling more. Commanding me to go out and fill it. What should I do? I'll go and eat my lunch after he has finished eating his lunch.

What if I go down and he is standing there with a knife in his hand. You finally came down. I was waiting for you. I just sharpened my knife here let me check how sharp it is ha… .ha… ha. I immediately shook my head at that though. It's better if I go down when he is not there. After some time I went down. First I peeped there and there was no one there to sing in relief. Then I went to the kitchen and took my lunch. I'll eat it here fast. Then I don't have to come down to keep plates. After eating my lunch as fast as possible I went to the kitchen to keep plates in the sink. Now I was searching for something to drink in the fridge.

I eat my food very fast. I need something to drink. Aaaaa finally I found something to drink. I took apple juice out of the fridge and closed it. I started drinking it while drinking it. I sensed someone was standing behind me. I stopped drinking. I didn't turn to see who was standing behind me. He… he…..is standing behind me. Why is he standing so close to me? I did not dare to turn and face him. I tried to slip from the side but he placed both hands on either side of me. He locked me with his hands. I still did not dare to turn. What should I do now in nervousness l started biting my lower lip. “turned around Jane” came his cold voice. I was still standing like that “Now” he shouted. I'm going to die today. It's my last day in this house. Mom dad I'm coming……..
