By Mimie Saidu 💖💖💖 chapter Four AURORA'S POV I Slowly walked into the living room,Richard is sleeping on the couch with 3 empty bottles of beer on the floor, I roll my eyes and silently walked to my room,Miranda is not home yet and am glad she isn't. I have to go to work by 3 and come back home at 6pm...so I have to sleep away my stress,I lay on my poor bed hoping to get some sleep, but my mind drifted to the twins Are they trying to play mind games with me or what???. And the most annoying thing is the fact that i can't even resist them, One minutes they cared ...next ...they don't give a f**k, I shake my head trying to ignore my thoughts, I take out my snacks and ate them hungrily, still thinking of how hot ACE and HAZE look in their gym wears, Gosh Aurora ...shame on you I drank my bottle water and lie back on the bed facing the ceiling 'Forget them Aurora...pls' I beg my conscious slowly drifting off to sleep... ======= I woke up at 2:45pm and quickly hit the shower remembering DOE will be here to pick me up, I ran out of the house immediately Richard entered the bathroom. I saw Doe's car by the opposite side of the street,a little bit far away a from the front door,thank God,else she would've seen me dash in out. "Sup girl" She said happily as I shut the car door, "Sorry am late" I said with a cute pout And she chuckled "It's fine...beside..I also woke up pretty late" She mumble fasting her seat belt "Didn't know you follow driving rules" I tease She just roll her eyes and smirk ----------- The cafe manager is both weird, strick and nice,he hired me before Doe could even state my name and purpose, "you are hired,i need staffs you need money, better take this serious" he rushed before answering a phone call, we exchange looks with Doe and she grin sheepishly, "told you he's nice". I was given my uniform which is a red shirt and black jeans,with the cafe sign on the left side chest Thank God..I won't wear my normal clothes... My first day went horrible...I kept spilling the coffee and tea am supposed to serve on my shirt..but it's good that the uniform doesn't show any colourful stain and I didn't spill them on any customer.. ****** It's almost closing hour when Doe receive a call from home saying she's needed. "Let me drop you Aurora" she said worriedly as we walk out of the cafe. "No..don't worry Doe..I'll be alright on my own,you should go home at once...it's just a 30 minutes walk back to my house anyway" I said politely with a smile "You sure" She ask still not convinced "Yeah..am good" "OK,but please go straight home,din stop even when a familiar face called you...OK?" she warn sternly like my Mom. I smile ghostly recalling my Mom,I sweet woman with a harsh tongue, "don't worry,I don't know anyone anyway" We said our good nights and I walk away,while she drive opposite. It's dark and I'm all alone on the dark quiet street. Shit...Mr Gregory (the manager)said I'll be done with my shift by 6 and it's already 7, Well the good thing is that I get to keep 60% of what my customers pay everyday while Mr Gregory keeps 40%, I feel like a wealthy lady just by feeling the weight in my pocket,Mr Gregory is really nice,he doesn't seem to care about money as long as you are dedicated. The street is quiet with not even a single soul outside It would've been completely dark if not for the little colourful lights on the signs of shops, I suddenly feel like someone is behind me,i quickly turn around,but no one is there... "???" I starts walking gently focussing my ears on the waves of air and sound of trees leaves on both sides of the street,I think this rood is constructed between a forest,cause there are only trees and darkness on both sides. And out of the blue...I feel the unmistakable feeling of a soft kiss on my neck from behind...I scream looking back again...but no one is there...I swear someone kissed me...I even felt the person's moist lips on my bare neck...but where is the person. "Ummmm.hello" I called looking around me tears building in my eyes "Helloo" my voice crack as fear hit me hard "??" I increase my pace walking like a crazed lady, My heart chunks when I started hearing foot steps hasten up behind me,without looking back,I took off running. I heard a sweet chuckle and quickly look back, stopping on my track,behind me is a dark shadowed figure standing in the middle of the street few inches away, it looks like a young man,posture haunch,hands seems to be in trouser pockets,the breeze throwing his long hair messily around. My mind starts going back to all these horror movies I watched before, ALL DARK FIGURES ARE EVIL SPIRITS. With this thought in mind,I took off again..running faster than I ever thought I could.... I slowed down and begin walking fast almost jogging. I heard a branch snaps between the trees beside me and sharply turn to see who's there ... I lock eyes with a pair of bright golden eyes... A dark figure of an animal ...more like a huge bear starring directly at me...I slowly move back and almost scream my throat out at the sound of a low growl at the other side of the street behind the bushes, I narrow my eyes at the spot deep behind trees and saw a pair of dark brown eyes which shines under the slide moon light,it's also starring as if targeting its prey, I couldn't tell it's figure..so I did what I know best.....RUNNING...I ran all the way back home, breathing heavily trying to regain my composure, I slowly open the front door but of course..it cracked... Richard is on the couch watching a comedy or so,the door is behind the couch so he didn't see me. I quietly walk to the stairs ...one step on it and it cracks loudly "s**t" i mumbled as Richard looks at me "Partying all night" he scoff in his deep voice "I was at work"I said and he scoff again waking towards me. "Yeah..working all night..just like your f*****g Aunt" he scream "Miranda is not my Aunt" i snap angrily at him "How dare you snap at me" He spat staggering. I turn to run up stairs but he caught me by my waist,I scream and starts wiggling trying to get out of his grip,he let me go cause he's obviously weak, I try to escape but he grab my hair pulling me back by my long pony I whimpered tears dripping down my cheeks, He pull me to his chest and I was kicked by sweat,body odor and alcohol's strong reek. He slap me hard,he was aiming for my cheek but I quickly cover it with my arm and his slap lands on it, I harshly punch his eyes and he roughly drop me on the floor,I wince in pain as I hit my rib on the edge of the stairs, forgetting my pain I bounce up and ran up the stairs We race to my room and luckily ...I manage to shut the door before he gets in quickly locking it up "Open the damn door you f*****g w***e" He spits banging on the door hard,and for few seconds I thought he'll break it down and come in...but I heard his footsteps walking away angrily. I crawl to my bed feeling terrible Pains around my rib cage...hope I didn't break my ribs,I crying my eyes out on my pale bed "Why me..." I whispered lowly before darkness consumes me ........
