Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Waking up into another place, a young boy wondered what had happened. He was just enjoying his film with his pizza when everything got dark and he appeared here. IN his hand, he saw a knife, a bloody knife. And the dying breath of a woman he had just killed. He had just killed? Did he kill her? As if he knew that someone was still there, his body started to take control of him as he ran after another girl. Words came out his mouth, it felt like another person was speaking for him only he didn't want to say those words.

When the girl disappeared into the taxi, he followed. For some reason, he felt as though she would know what is happening. he didn't know how he got here in the first place anyway. When he look up from wherever he was, he noticed he was at the police station. His mind was so preoccupied he didn't realised he had walk here, and then he noticed the taxi. His body took control for a second as he killed the taxi man, and placed himself inside instead, copying the man.

When the girl entered and told him her address, he kept quiet. He did not make a sound, he tried to follow the address on the GPS, and soon enough arrived. When she came out, he passed his hand through the window, but what happened next had memorised him. His hand had a tight grip on her wrists, but her features were so amazing in the late night with only a lamppost. Her blue eyes, and her heart shape face, her full red lips. Then she ran. And that then that he realised, he had to kill her in order to go back, he look back at her and guessed, she probably have to do the same.

-----

Next day came, he had to hide everywhere since he had been reported and they were searching for him. If only he had killed that girl, it wouldn't have happened! Wait? What am is he thinking about that!! He shook his head and hit himself to try to forget the fact that he appeared in a horror movie and was the killer himself. How great.

It was then he saw her again, she look beautiful in the morning. He put his hood up, and came out the small alleyway as he called for her. "you came..." he said lowly, but it would probably sounds different for her. He was looking at her attentively, trying to figure out what will happen next. She distracted him, and like a loser he actually look behind him. When he turned his head, the breath in his lungs was cut short as he hit his back on the floor, his knife flying 2 meters away. He tried to stop her, but knew she was being restrained. She finally took his hood off, and his eyes widen. NO, everyone will know how he looks like now. When he look back at her, he realised she was distracted and flip them around. He grabbed the knife and pointed it down at her, she was curled into a ball, also afraid to die and not being able to go back to our world if we were to die. He hesitated and that wasted time was useless, the sirens of the police echoed in the small city and he ran off, looking at the lamppost. He knew they saw his face. As he ran to hide, he threw away his coat, as this was another thing they could recognise him by.

. . . . . .

She didn't want to wake up today. She was physically and mentally tired. But only After awhile, has she convinced herself to get out of bed. She put on some leggings and a top, and went on a morning run. She needed to fresh air of the morning to think. She inhale and exhale, that fresh air. It made her smile.

She continued to run until she bump into someone.

"Sorry" She say before gasping... It was the Killer. He only smiled. He now had a light brown coat on him, and he was showing his face, what changed overnight.

"wh-what do you want?" she finally ask, rubbing her cold arms wit her hands.

"..." He grinned but his eyes remained cold and indifferent. He was still starring into her eyes, as if trying to found something in them.

"I'd like for you to stop starring at me like that" She spoke. And he chuckled. He leaned in to her ear and Whispered something. It made her shiver.

Taking a step back, She look at him and tremble even more. Her breathing begun to fasten as she turned around and ran. She ran the other way as fast as she could. Her ears rang with a sound of slow beeping. It didn't stop until she finally arrived Home and calm down. Taking her breath back. She heard some voices around herself yet no one was there. She could hear her mother, but she wasn't there. Even her brother, but why didn't she see anyone. Was she going mad. She felt dizzy yet she didn't want to fall back asleep. But, her body and mind betrayed her as she fell on her knees and fainted. The last thing she remembered was seeing the door open with a screech before she low full consciousness.

A couple hours had gone by, and she woke up in her parents' bed, she had a cold towel on her head. A bright smile appear on her head as she thought her family had come back and that she just had a bad dream. She stood up excited and ran around downstairs, then around the house only to found that no one was there. Her face sunk.

Until a faint laugh was heard behind her, chilling her to her core. She turned around, and cautiously watch the surroundings. She walk out the lounge room and made her way to different places of the house. She didn't found them, or the Killer. Where were they? What was happening? She wanted everything to stop! Everything was messing with her mind!

Nora crawled into a ball on the sofa as she sob quietly. She felt a hand on her shoulder, it was warm and calmed her down a little. When she look up, she got scared again. Tears fell from her cheeks even more. She look at the Man before her and frowned angrily at the Man before she jump at his neck and strangled him.

"What the fuck do you want!!" She yelled, tears filling her eyes rapidly as they fall on the man's face, one by one. His eyes widen and spoke "hey little girl, let me explain"

"i'm not little!" She refuted, gritting her teeth tightly as she tried to tighten her grip but couldn't.

"You are younger than me" He replied, noticing that she was slowly releasing her grip.

"How old are you, 30" She laughs, but the tears still fell on his face as she stared at his beautiful face. He didn't look 30, Nora would probably think he was 25 years old or something.

"No.. i'm 19" He replied, and with a grin he flip her over, taking her wrist and holding them above her head.

"Wow, What a way to waste your life" She replied, trying to fight him off and spitting in his face.

"Stop struggling. If you just listen and do what i Say, it will be less painful" He spoke as he took his knife out. His body speaking for him, why does it always happen?! "It will be fun. I Wonder what your blood will taste like" He added, drawing circles with the knife on her stomach, if he could hit himself right now, he would definitely.

"You crazy psycho!" She yelled. She managed to slipped on hand away from his grip and grabbed his wrist with the knife and twist it, flipping him on his stomach as Nora sat on his back, holding one arm. She attempt to grabbed the other one, but he caught the knife already and furiously stab her arm. She gasp. It hurts.

She place her hand on her arm. Feeling the hand loose over his wrist, he leaned to one side making her fall. She tremble at the sight of the blood. Her own blood was now spilling everywhere. Her hand was red. Her blue eyes glimmered as the tears welled up in the corners, threatening to escape. She look at the 19 years old man, frowned and.... fainted again. The last thing she saw, was him with an evil grin. Glaring at her happily and amused.

When she woke up again, which she was surprised of, she thought he would killed her honestly. Her arm was bandaged, it didn't seem to bleed anymore. And the blood on the floor had been cleaned.

Was it some kind of sick nightmares. Were her subconscious mind messing with her. But it had already been talked about in her mind so many times.

She was in her bed. It felt weird. Very weird.

. . . . .

"Finally! You're awake" A voice said.

Nora startled. "I thought you would kill me..." she said.

"But its no fun, i want to play with you before your lose your mind and then... i'll kill you then. " He laugh, deep inside he wished he could shut up. She shivered.

"And if that don't work?" She ask, intrigued.

"I know a better way... but i won't tell ya" He answer before walking to her. "But we play by my rules"

"what if i refuse?" She ask again

"I'll be forcing you to join, but you already did. So you can't back down."

"and what if i do?" she ask.

"Then, i'll make you fall in love with me, and then. I'll break your Heart. I'll shred it to pieces." He Say, not even realising he had spilled his secondary plan if everything back fires.

She laughs "Ew, i'm a minor, you're an adult. That's paedophilia" She replied.

"And, you know what girl, wait.... shit!" he cursed. "you bitch!"

"aww thanks!" she replied, laughing at his frustration. "thank you for telling me. But it won't work on me, but, it might on you. Anyway. Ciao" She Say, walking out of the room.

Once outside, she ran to the front door and put her shoes on. She opened the front door and yelp Startled "Where do you think you're going?" he ask. How did he arrived at the front door from her room, she look up the stairs and back at him.

"move!" She Say, and push him out of the way. She was getting confused and confused every time. What was really happening.

"1,2.. Freddy is coming for you.." Children sang "3,4 Better lock your door... 5,6... grab.. your... crucifix" It felt abnormal, she look at the kids who stared at her while singing. She look back in front of her and startled "7,8 Are you still awake..."

Was she awake? or was she sleeping still? was this a whole lot nightmare. "9,10... NEVER SLEEP AGAIN!" they yelled. When she look back at them, they had disappeared. She look around her and everyone had disappeared, not a car was now driving. It was lonely.... She felt lonely..... She had no one.

"are you alone now?" He ask "i have destroyed all of the things you had, and replaces them all with fear and loneliness." He spoke, she turned around but he wasn't there. "you only have me" Nora turned around again, but no one. He was messing with her, but she was indeed alone.

"no no no!! stop! stop!! Get out of my head..... please" She held her head and crouched on the floor. "it hurts.... stop..." she sobbed again. "why.... what's going on..."

"i'm not in your head, you are just going insane. But, i Can stop it for you. Although, i'll have to kill you.." He grinned, he was now in front of her.

She was getting confused, frustrated, over-whelmed. She missed the warmth of her parents' hugs. Of her friends' smiles.... She missed them all. Was she really broken now... Was she really destroyed now.

The male put his hand in front of him, in between them.

"What do you decide. Come to me.. or i kill you?"

Nora look at his hand. Even if she was to go to him, he'll still kill her. He Said it himself. Second reason, he was an adult, and she, a minor.

"i choose Neither!" She replied coldly. "i won't be just a person you can toy with and i won't let you kill me"

His lip Twitch upwards as he smirk evilly. He pushed her down on the floor and press the wound of her arm.

"ow ow ow! stop! it hurts! ow !!! STOPP!!" She kick him, her arm bled again. She started to cry again as she ran. She didn't want to be in this terrible World anymore. When would she Come out of this nightmare...

The 19 years old Man look at her, while his knife slowly made surface on his hand.

"if you run away, i'll catch you. And when i catch you, i'll make you surrender. Once you surrender, i'll destroy your life. And then, you'll beg me to kill you..." He Say, quietly. Yet, Nora was able to hear them from where she was. She didn't Care, she still ran away. Because that's what she Always did. She was a coward.
