Ch-7 Run baby run

Prey

The security company packs up their stuff as they leave. Finally I decided to upgrade my security game up to putting cameras all over the house. It was a bit costly but I needed to make sure whoever this stalker guy was he better stay far away from my house. Oblivious to the fact that he was watching me through my own cameras while I stand in the kitchen room feeling a bit safe.

No way he can break in without the alarms going off now since I changed into a better security brand. And oh boy how wrong I was.

The next day when upon waking up, I grabbed my phone login into the security camera to watch the last night's footage while I was fast asleep.

Everything was normal until the footage of the front door and living room facing the door was completely blank between 1:23 am to 1:31am, indicating that the footage was missing. Every other cameras were working and nothing strange was going on. At 1:32am , a figure was caught walking upstairs towards my room, as he opened the door slowly and sat on the edge of the bed quietly.

A complete black hoodie, and a black mask hiding half of his face. My guess was right, he was the guy from the other day, my patient, my revenger and my stalker. A chill passed my spine as I further watched the footage. He sat there for almost an hour without even doing anything, but as he was about to leave he tucked me in, and placed a small forehead kiss and walked out my door closing the door behind me. And once again from 2:42 am to 2:53 am the footage was missing.

This was something creepy yet I couldn't help but think why didn't he do something else, when he clearly could have done something. He breaks in every night, doesn't steal anything or even does something weird on my sleep. What was his real motive?

Who was he?

The Beast

Even though I could have watched her sleep through the camera, I couldn't stop myself from breaking into her house again just to see her sleep. Even though I had to delete few footages to keep her on edge, but it felt worth it. Although I wanted to hold her into my arms, never let go.

Keep patience

As I tried to divert my mind from her to focus on finding the mastermind of the trafficking, my burnout phone vibrated indicating a incoming call, knowing very well who was calling but it didn't stopped me to be a bit surprised either.

"Didn't expected you to have guts to call me, Angel."

"Cut the bullshit, I know who you are. The guy I hit with my SUV almost a week ago, are you taking revenge or something?" , her voice filled with rage.

A small chuckle escaped my mouth, "I told you I was gonna come back hunting for you, baby. It's just the angel caught the beast's eyes."

She laughs sarcastically, "Aw so romantic." I could see rolling her cute hazel eyes through the phone.

"Why don't you show up face to face instead?"

My lips curcled up into a smirk, she didn't know what she was getting herself involved in by saying those words.

"You better run baby, such once I catch you, you won't be able to walk let alone run." Pausing for a bit I let the words sink in.

"You-...you think I am gonna get intimidated by your words? You are wrong."

"As you say, darling", mockingly I replied.

Present day

Prey

Sitting in my office room, I was going through some patients' files as I heard a loud bang from the back door, my first instinct was to go check but then I remembered yesterday's conversation with my stalker. As my heart started to pump blood towards the brain, making me panic.

I knew he wasn't lying when he said those things but somewhere in my brain thought he couldn't really act on his words even though I knew it was stupid to think that way.

Rushing the way upstairs, I walked into the guestroom at the very end of the hallway. And quickly hide myself in the closet.

The footsteps got closer and closer.

"I know you are out there somewhere hiding from me. But don't worry I can smell my way back to you."

I hold my breath hearing him slowly walk towards the closest the one where I was hiding in. It wasn't a good spot to hide but everything escalated in a split of second that it was my only option. My closet door cracked opened a little and I could see THE BEAST peeking inside.
