Chapter 13: Who are you
1020 Words
Sometimes, it’s hard to tell if what happened to me is all real or if it is just a dream. I often have dreams that felt so real but I know that is impossible to happen. There were times when I was crying in my dream and then when I opened my eyes I’m still crying. My heart will feel heavy and my morning will start on a not so good day. There are times when I can remember my dream, and it is scaring me. It’s as if it’s not a dream but a nightmare!
And today, it happened to me again.
I had a bad dream.
I had a nightmare! I know that it is just a nightmare! There's no chance that there's someone who sneaked in my room right?! No not at all! The security in the building is really good, so there's no chance that-
My eyes snapped open. Tears kept falling from my eyes.
It's just a bad dream right? But then I can’t remember it. All I know is that my heart is again heavy like those other mornings that I had and it’s making me really sad.
I tried so hard to remember it, but I really can’t.
And so I gave up.
Why would I want to remember something that might hurt me? I shook my head as I tried to adjust my eyes from the darkness. Is it still night?
I think no because I can hear birds from outside, it seems like it is already morning, but then it is so dark in here maybe because of the curtains..
Yes, there are curtains, to where I am looking!
Since when did I have a curtain? The last time I checked, I have blinds as a curtain!
And so, my heart suddenly started beating so fast. So fast as if I ran a thousand miles!
Memories from last night are pouring. I went home, then someone grabbed my arm and cover my mouth.
My eyes grew wide as I started feeling scared. Scared that made me tremble.
I am not in my room! I am so sure of it!
“You’re awake..” that husky voice again.
No.. no.. this can’t be! My heart might burst because of the fear that I am feeling right now.
Why? Why is he doing this? Who is he? What does he want from me?! Is he a stalker or what?!
There are so many things running in my mind. But it was cut when I heard movements, I think he is walking towards the bed, towards me.
I still can’t see his face, I can see his figure but not his face.
“W-what do you w-want?! W-who are y-you?! Please..don’t hurt me, I want to go home now! Please!” I beg and cried but he just continued walking.
I sat on the bed and went to the corner, I hugged my knees as I trembled in fear. Tears kept on flowing from my eyes! I tried to wipe it away but it kept on falling!
“Shhh..it’s okay, I won’t hurt you.. I can’t hurt you.” He said in a soothing voice but it didn’t calm me.
“W-who are you?” I asked again, but he kept on coming to me. Until he is already sitting beside me.
“Don’t be afraid of me my love.”
“I wanna go home!” I cried. But he just held my face and tried wiping my tears.
I struggled but he’s much stronger than me..
“I don’t like seeing you like this, crying and trembling in fear. I don’t want you to be afraid of me!”
“Well, what do you want me to feel?! You’ve been stalking me, you’ve been just appearing anytime you want! In the darkness!” I said angrily.
“You’re such a sick man!” I shouted as I slapped his hand away from my face.
I heard how he sighed.
I almost regret doing that because there’s a chance that he might hurt me.
I should do something! I should outsmart him so I can escape from this place, but I don’t even know where I am!
“Where am I? where did you bring me? Please! Let me go!”
“Never!”
“What?”
“You are mine, just mine.” He said in a serious voice that made me scared more.
“I am not yours!”
“Oh wanna bet?” he asked in a sarcastic way.
“You’re a coward! You know that?! You’re a coward for doing this! Why don’t you show me your face? Why are you afraid that I will report you!”
“I’m not.” He said in a calm voice that made me irritated.
“You’re sick! You’re a psycho who’s trying to victimize an innocent girl!” I shouted, all my fears are gone. Right now all I’m feeling is hatred!
“Shhh.. calm down my love. Why don’t you just sleep again, take a rest? Yeah, let’s take a rest. I was up all night because I was so busy looking at your lovely face. I missed you so much.” He said before he leaned towards me and kissed my lips!
I was shocked at what he did, I acted impulsively.
Maybe it’s because of the adrenaline rush.
I was able to push him and slapped his face.
I heard the sound of my slap. It was a hard slap! My hand even ache because of the impact.
I sucked my breath when I realized what I did.
I even moved more in the corner of the bed.
I am so afraid that he will hurt me back.
“Please..” I whispered.
He moved and I thought he’s really going to hurt me, but instead he grabbed something beside the bed, then placed it on my face.
I think it’s a cloth, a hanky maybe? And it has this smell that made my eyes rolled back..
I am so sleepy.
You can’t sleep!!! I kept on chanting in my head but my eyes are really falling. I tried to fight it but the drug on the hanky is really making my eyes close.
“Let’s just sleep. I’m sorry I have to make you fall asleep also, so I can cuddle you when I am sleeping. I just want to hold you so close..” he said in a sweet voice.
“I just missed you so much my love, please don’t be afraid of me, please don’t hate me.”
And that’s the last thing that I remember before I passed out again.
