I was taking a hot shower and then I heard the doorbell ring, I ran out of the shower and put on a robe. I was screaming I am coming wait!! wait!! When I got to the door there was no one not even an note or something, when I wanted to close the door I noticed a little black book, I thought it was for me so I opened it and started reading it, the only thing I was reading were names, dates and addresses. The first names were dated in 1809! There were a few names every year.
When I went to the year 2021 I saw two names one girl named Salome the second girl was named Luan. And there was my name Phaeda van den Broek Dated on 21 oktober 2021, I dropped the book and face timed my best friend but she wouldn't pick up when I send her a message to call me back she said that she wasn't a therapist who was free 24/7 so that I had to leave her alone, that's what you call a best friend right? I thought to myself that it must have been some joke of some stupid neighborhood children.
I hopped back in the shower and then I heard screaming outside, it was a girl running behind a man with a knife! When I was dialing 911 the girl stopped and looked at me and started laughing it looked like the man got away but he stopped just behind the bushes on her left. when the girl noticed that he got away she started crying and cutting her own hair of, she saw him! It was like I was watching a horror film it was horrible she stabbed him so many times. When she was done she looked at me and said "have fun with your little black book babe!" I started crying and I fell down to the floor it felt like I fainted.
The doorbell rang again I was so afraid! it felt like I was gonna die, when I went downstairs it was just the mailman, so I opened the door and got my delivery but something felt weird it felt like there was someone coming in my house from the backdoor so when told the mailman that I didn't feel safe anymore in my own house he said that I could come in his van, but I didn't do that of course I just started running to my aunts house. When I got to her house I remembered that she was on vacation so I started looking for her key. after fifteen minutes of searching for the key I found it!
I ran into her house but it was all a mess it looked like someone broke in to her house! I wanted to call 911 but my phone was still at my house, I started looking for a home phone but when I found one the cords we cut trough, I was scared and alone I didn't know where to go and did not have a place to stay.
There it was, the little black book, the doorbell rang I started screaming and pulled a knife from the kitchen drawer. The door opened and there was the same girl from before I screamed at her 'who are you? Why did you kill him? Will you kill me to?" she said "I will never kill you I will not even lay a hand on you" I was a little less scared, she asked me if I got a little black book I was not sure if I should say yes or no cause if I said yes then she may want it back but if I said no then she might kill me because I have seen to much. It's there I see it she said! I took the book and said "why do you even want this book? wait what is your name she said my name is Salome I am 19 years old and I am in this book to. Look it up I am in the year 2021 just in front of you!
