Ines was sat on a comfortable desk chair at the check out watching the news on her phone. [ NEWS: Today we  are here with another death of a person called lillith mikelsone who worked at the coffee shop in 56 russell mane street. she was found with burn marks all over her body but the killer left his usual mark on the victims cheek, an X and another x overlapping the previous one underneath it, carved into the victims face with the dried blood staining the poor victims face.] she decide that she had enough of the news so she turned off her phone and decide to close up the cozy book shop for the day.

As Ines was slowly walking home she suddenly got the feeling of her hairs on the back of her neck stand up and a cold chill running down her sensitive spine giving her a warning that someone hidden in the shadows was following her close buy. she didn't dear to turn around scared that the person following her would notice that she knows that someone was there. But yet she couldn't control her body that was telling her to start walking faster to get away from the danger. shivering in fear and with clattering teeth she sped up her walking even though she knew that would give her away. Once she got home she hurriedly took off her hoody and dirty shoes so she didn't dirty up her pearly white carpet she bout not too long ago. she headed to her cozy yet modern kitchen with dark wooden floors and black cupboards to get something to quickly snack on and then she got ready for bed in her room that was small and filled with books that she enjoyed. she read a bit of her new book that she bought and then drifted off into a deep sleep. [DREAM: she was walking in a dark misty that looked like a black cloud and she could see a shadow in the far distance but as she tried to get closer to the fading shadow, it starts to slowly consume her and she wanted to scream but but she couldn't and deep down she knew no one would be able to hear her but she still tried. she desperately wanted to be found because the smoke felt like it was almost choking her to death.] she woke up drenched in a cold sweat and after calming down and evening out her breathing she looked over at her phone to check the time and the clock said that it was 4:23 am in the morning. she tried to go back to sleep for the 2 hours that she had left of sleep but as much as she tried she could not for the life of her.

After she found the strength to get out of bed she made her way down to the kitchen and got her self a glass of whiskey to help her relax after the dream she just had. she then got her phone and scrolled through facebook and saw the latest news and when she saw another murder that happened around her area she just put down her phone and went to take a shower. Once she was done she went to the kitchen made herself self a cup of black coffee with two teaspoons of brown sugar and a dash of milk, then headed of to open up her book shop. After about an hour or so a man came into the store to look around; once he found a few books he wanted he came to the register to pay and like with any other customer that came into her shop she would have small talk with the person when they suddenly mentioned that they felt as if  somebody in the shadows was following them everywhere he went." Lately I feel as if someone is following me but I'm not too sure" he says " I got that exact feeling yesterday while walking home and i've never had that feeling before which makes it even more strange " she says back " yes truly strange" they both agreed and then they said their goodbyes thinking that that was probably the last time they would both see of each other or at least not anytime soon considering how many books he bought that day from her store. 

For the past few days you kept getting the same feeling every time you were walking home late in the night. After a few days 2 other men came in but at different times one during the day the other during the evening. They both mentioned that they were getting the felling of being followed but every other costumer that came in said that they haven't felt that feeling in years. That day when you were walking home you didn't have that feeling of being followed but when you go home and went into the kitchen you found a note.......
