Chapter 6 - Beginning of horror

I wish I had never seen that notebook. If I had not, my mind would still be sane. Ever since I threw away the diary, I always have the feeling of being followed. Everywhere I go, he is there. Am I going crazy? Or is it just my fear?

It's morning but my face looks very tired. That demon never put me to sleep again.

"What does he need?"

I have already answered all his questions. I thought I would be erased from his victims but I was wrong again. He repeatedly disturbed my sleep.

But it's different now, he just looks at me with a devilish smile. I always wake up with big sweats and shortness of breath.

I look in the mirror and the sign of no sleep is transparent because there is drowsiness in my eyes.

"Why don't you leave me alone?" I said while looking in the mirror.

"Kit! Get dressed! You'll be late!" My mother's shout woke up my spirit.

"Yes, mom!" I bathed and dressed quickly. I went downstairs and said goodbye to my mom.

"You won't eat again? You're a man yet you're so skinny!"

"I'll just eat at school, I'm late." And I left before Mom could scold me.

As I walked, I suddenly looked behind me. I feel like someone is following me but there is no one there.

"That's it! Whoever you are, get out!" I feel like a madman screaming even when no one is around. I looked around me, no one.

"Where are the people?" Now I just realize that I'm the only person around. It's evening already?

"Pst! Pst!" I looked to my right, no one is there.

"Pssttt!" When I looked behind me, I saw the demon I had seen every night. His eyes were very wide and very red. His smile was so big that I could see his sharp teeth. In my shock and fear, I screamed and fell down. I closed my eyes in fear. When I opened my eyes, many people were looking at me.

An old woman asked me, "Son, are you okay?" I couldn't see her face because of the sunlight.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I quickly got up and walked quickly towards the boot, where to wait for public transportation.

When I got in the taxi, I picked up my cellphone and there I realized I was shaking.
