" What? " My mouth almost dropped

" Anna? Are you okay Sweetheart?! Did I do something wrong to you? What eyes are you talking about?! " He ran over me with questions. But wait he called me Anna! Is his wife's name is Anna too?!

" I'm sorry " I don't know why I said that, but it was the closest words to my mind.

" What is you're sorry for? I've done something wrong, haven't I? " He looked so worried..

" No! It's just.. nevermind " I said

" Can I make it up for you? " He said with innocent eyes

" I guess.. yeah " I didn't wanna sound off

He took his shirt off and jumped beside me in bed. He held me tight in his arms..

" Is this good? " He wispherd in my ears

I felt shivers all over my body, no one ever held me like this, I was safe..

" I love you, Ethan " I said that and I absolutely have no idea about how  know his name, or if it's even the right name.

" I love you too, honey " he said it back, and printed a kiss on my shoulder.

I closed my eyes, feeling so loved by him. I really wanted for this to be my life, knowing that I hate marriage so much! when I opened my eyes again, it was so dark..

" Ethan.. " I said with a shaking voice

" There is no Ethan here love " I heard his sharp voice and I felt something cold on my back.

I turned to see what it was, and I saw a lot of blood! I didn't know if it was mine or someone's else..

I screamed at the top of my lungs, but no voice came out. I saw him on top of me trying to put his knife into my eyes...

" No!!! " I screamed and this time my voice came out!

My hand reached out his face trying to push him away. I accidentally took off his glasses and saw his empty eyelids staring at me!

" Stop!! " I screamed! I woke up to find myself on the floor with bruises all over my body, but the strange thing was.. his glasses were in my hand!!

-

I didn't go to work that day, I couldn't. How could I! After what happened..

I had a cut on my back, with the name of his apparently. A big cut says " THE CORINTHIAN " I didn't even know what it meant, then.

So, it was my blood after all, and now my nightmares are coming true!

How much time do I have until he, himself comes out of my nightmares wanting to take my eyes off!

Every time I close my eyes I see him, with his knife and the way he smiles..

I just don't understand what happened to him and his family. He seemed to love his wife so much! Her name is Anna too, I don't know if she is still alive. But I remembered something important
His real name is Ethan.

So, I started to look up every Ethan in the area, any missing persons, any attacks, any police reports.

But I didn't find anything about him. Maybe it's not his real name. I don't have his last name, or even a close normal picture of him.

So, I decided to look up " The Corinthian " instead, and holy mother the fuck what I've found about him.

" The Corinthian hits again in a local diner.. "

" He always takes the eyes off and leaves the rest of the body.. "

" He isn't a thief, nothing has been stolen, only the eyes of the body "

" The Corinthian, a big hit tonight! "

" The Corinthian, collector of eyes "

And many many headlines I've found..
But it was all in the late eighties. So, he is pretty real then! How could I never hear of him!

So, he knows who I am, and he is coming for me, but it's impossible he is pretty dead for sure. He can't be 130 years old now. But suddenly I heard someone knocking..

" Who is it?! " I asked with a terrified voice...

I heard no answer at all, but the door kept knocking! I decided not to open the door, but my curiosity has beaten me!

I felt safe for a bit, cause he can't be alive. So, I opened the door..

" Hello Anna "

I was completely shocked, it was him.. in flesh and blood..

The one and only Corinthian..

He never aged a little, he is just exactly the man from my nightmares with the same clothes..

" I think you've got something of mine.. " he said and smiled..

I couldn't close the door, I couldn't actually do anything, my legs just won't move..

He entered the apartment and looked around, and I was still in my place.

" Here it is " he said and took the glasses from the kitchen table.

" Thank god, those new glasses didn't cover my eyes so well like the old ones. Don't ever take something that's not yours, doll.. " he said.

" What?! " I finally said a word.
