I needed to talk to Ghostface, I needed answers.

I shut my laptop leaning backwards on the couch, I felt defeated. I had no way to get in contact with Ghostface, so did that mean I would have to wait until he called me again? Or he randomly showed up to my house? But I had no idea when that would be or if he would ever contact me again.

It was only 4:03pm right now. Ghostface is usually out or calling people after dark. Then I got an idea..

What if after the sun goes down I go out and look for him. The chances of me actually coming across him were slim but it wouldn't hurt to try right?

I still had a really long time until the sun went down so I turned on the tv and started watching netflix.

Time skip to 7pm

I was getting restless in my seat, I wasn't even watching the show I put on anymore. I was now laying upside down on the couch messing with the sleeve of the black hoodie I had put on after work. My stomach was starting to hurt because of hunger so I got up.

Walking into the kitchen I opened the fridge to see left over spaghetti from the other night but I wasn't in the mood for it. I closed the fridge door and opened the freezer seeing the frozen pizza from the other night, It seemed better than the spaghetti so I took it out of the freezer.

I took the pizza out of the box, putting in on a baking sheet and throwing it in the oven.

After I finished eating 2 pieces of pizza the sun was starting to go down so I made my way to the front door.  I slipped on my black converse before opening the door, walking out of the house and closing the door behind me.  I had no idea where I was going to look so I decided to walk down the road a bit. 

Usually people say they "walk around the neighbourhood" but I didn't really have a neighbourhood.  My street was a long gravel road in the middle of know here surrounded by farm fields.

As I walked out of my drive way I was admiring the sky.  It was a pretty pink and orange sun set with a few clouds.  This is the first time since my Dads death that I had felt stress free. 

I wasn't expecting anybody to come looking for my Dad when he died because he had no friends or family members other than me.  That's why the cops haven't come to look for him yet,  To be honest Im not expecting them to come at all.

I looked away from the sky and back down at the road when I noticed somebody walking towards me.  My heart skipped a beat thinking it was Ghostface for a second but then It was obvious it wasn't him.  The person was slouched over and stumbling,  They looked to be homeless man that was probably on drugs.

It's fine if I just mind my own business he will walk right by me I thought as I was getting closer.

As a got closer he looked up.

"ohhh... hey pretty girl" his words were slurred together.

He wasn't on drugs he was really drunk, I immediately got flash backs from my Dad.

I tried ignoring him but he only got angry.

"Don't walk away when I'm talking to you" He yelled as I was pushed forward onto my stomach

The gravel road cut up my hands as I tried breaking my fall, But I started trying to crawl away. 

I was pulled back by my ankle and flipped over,  Man was now on top of me strangling me. I tried to call out for help but the pressure on my throat was getting harder and I was starting to black out. 

I tried fighting it but my eyes started getting heavier and I finally gave in. 

The last thing felt was the man being pushed off of me and a pair of arms pick me up.  Then everything went dark.
