Chapter 11

Reader's POV

My eyes widened when he had said his name, where had I heard that before.
I gulped briefly before I thought about it.
"I know you can't believe that the amazing Laughing Jack is standing before you." He spoke with a cocky demeanor.

"Wait a minute, you are a fake."
I spoke bluntly after remembering where I had heard that name before.

It made sense, the way he kills, the kidnappings, the make shift carnival.
"Of course! You are a copycat killer."

I stated bluntly, his face appeared to have change to one of shock as he stared at me.
"I can assure you, young lady that I am THE Laughing Jack. World famous serial killer." He stated proudly as he straightened up and gave me a cocky grin.

"More like a bedtime story gone wrong. Listen buddy I wasn't born yesterday,  I have read the stories."
I stated as I huffed and walked past him and took out my phone.

"It is a fictional story! So now that I found out you're a copycat killer, I'd be glad to bring you to justice."
I said as I dialed for my boss.

"You are wrong."
He said as he swiftly made his way closer to me. He took my phone into his hand.
"I found you."
His voice distorted as he crushed my phone, turning it to dust.

"Shit..." I muttered as I stared at him feeling nervous.
I had no way to call for backup, I was screwed.

I stared to look around frantically until I got an idea.
"Look a kid is escaping!"

"What, where?!" He asked as he looked behind him quickly.
I took the chance and ran like he'll.

I heard him curse before loud footsteps followed.
I felt as if I was in grave danger.
"God Y/N you've done it now!"
I scolded myself as I ran straight into the forest with the intention to get to my car.

My heart roughly thumped within my chest, I could swear that I could hear my own heartbeat. Along with my rapid breathing, it put into play that if I could hear these things; what was to say that this serial killer couldn't?

I kept hearing rapid footsteps, I felt as if he was on me...I could see my car in the distance, I had to push through my exhaustion. I needed to live, I wanted to survive. Now knowing who the killer is, she needed to fulfill her promise of bringing this guy to justice.

After a few minutes I stopped hearing the steps behind me, I wanted to check however I made it to my car and immediately got in and locked the doors.
Taking a second to breathe and look around, seeming as if I had lost him. 

I turned the car on and started to drive to my house, my mind was racing with intrusive thoughts. Danger filled scenarios, the fear of death; I had my life flash before my eyes as I had gotten chased.

"I'm so screwed..." I said to myself as I focused on my driving, I decided to listen to the radio to try to keep my mind off of the recent events.  Flipping through the channels before finding a station playing a song.
Putting my mind at ease, I stopped at a red light and taking a deep breath.

Suddenly the music had stopped, and a news sound started to sound within it.
"Fucking hell, what now?"

Radio

Stoneburrow may sleep in peace for once in a long time."
