Rossiya Moy Dom (A Short Love Series)

Time Surely Passes (Book Two of Rossiya Moy Dom Series)

+Six Months Later+

"Alice it's good to see that you're well." Mr Romanov smiles while ignoring his class, all eyes now on her as she makes her way to a spare seat.

"Yeah I had to take care of a few things." Alice mumbles then takes her seat at the back of the classroom.

It's been six months since Alice has seen Joseph. Not after he killed her parents for "leading him on". Yet she can't help herself from looking out for him from time to time, her mind conjuring up millions of scenarios of him either killing her or raping her. Because who knows with that piece of shit.

"As I was saying." the teacher continues on, ignoring Alice now and leaving her to her thoughts.

Halfway through the lesson a knock on the door distracts the whole class, even the teacher when he sets his work down to inspect who it is.

"Come in." Mr Romanov calls from his desk to the door, everyone on baited breath as we wait for who it might be though Alice can't seem to shake the dread of Joseph's return.

The door squeaks open as the school principal steps in, a huge smile plastered on his face and relief seems to shower over Alice for a second at the Principal's presence.

"We have a student returning to us." the man announces in Russian, English now hardly used considering her Russian is becoming better each day.

Dread fills Alice when she thinks about what the Principal had just announced. A new student could also mean Joseph is back and now she is thinking of a million ways to hurt this cunt.

"Oh come in. It's good to see a familiar face. Maybe you'll be able to cheer a certain someone up." Mr Romanov smiles while beckoning the mystery student in, her wondering who the fuck it could be to cheer her up until she spots the face of Lucifer.

To say Alice almost cried would be an understatement. She bursts into tears and sprints out of the classroom with students shooting her weird looks along the way. But she couldn't care less; she's getting away from a fucking murderer.

Alice ran until she couldn't run no longer, eventually spotting the girl's toilets a few meters away from her and barging through before locking herself in the nearest cubicle.

The faces on some of the students are burning into Alice's brain, searing in so she can never forget though she finds it hard to believe she will forget the event altogether.

She pulls the lid down and drops herself on it; her knees trembling as she throws herself down and lets fresh tears come.

The salty liquid snakes down her cheeks to drip off her chin, the patter sounds being the only thing she can hear besides her own crying.

"How can he be back after so long?" she questions herself while gripping handfuls of her hair, her voice coming out choked yet echoes around the empty cubicles.

"He isn't supposed to be here!" she screams when she isn't satisfied by the silence, punching the toilet cubicle door and almost breaking her hand though the pain is something that calms her down.

She takes a seat as the sobs rip through her, the memory of her kneeling down in her parent's blood coming back in flashes and she's now doubling over to keep the vomit from leaving her body.

"No it's my imagination." she sniffs whilst straightening up and brushing her uniform down.

Alice picks up footsteps entering the girl's cubicles, causing the girl to freeze and her eyes to well up with more threatening tears after Joseph's name makes its way into her thoughts.
