((3)) the short cut

The shop you needed to go was only down the road from where you lived so you weren't to bothered. You just wanted to go and get back as soon as you could, you weren't in any rush to get somewhere,you just didn't feel in the mood to be going out today.
You grabbed the first huddy you saw and headed out.

You had just started walking and had today decided to take this path through this small alleyway, you had found this path with curiosity not to long ago and soon found out that it was a short cut to the town.
You always liked it because you knew most of the time no one else would be there using it except from the accasunal few and you could get to where you needed to be with no trouble.
It didn't have too many turnings but that didn't mean if your not keeping track of how many you had already made you can't get lost because you definitely could.
This is why you only used it in daylight knowing that one wrong turn or wrong look at the path could lead to not knowing where the hell you are.
You might of had a small picture of where you were but because of you being recently new to the area ,it would be pretty embarrassing.

But you never felt to stressed going through as the rout was a pretty easy one.

You had just begun your journey not in any rush to get to where you needed to be.
You atchually felt like you were enjoying the outdoors for once, you did normaly give your self a plan on what to do when you woke up in the mornings but always ended up laying asleep in front of the tv all day.
You went ahead and put your ear phones in as you had brought them and blasted abit of y/f/songs to waste sometime.

[Time skip a couple of minutes]

Only after about 2 or 3 songs you decided to take your ear buds out thinking you might miss something, you had no Idea what but you just had a feeling, you didn't know why but you felt as if
you were being stared at almost as if someone was watching you.
You didn't overthink this as the mind plays tricks all the time so you decided to carry on walking but not to long after you felt it again this time you decided to trust your guts and look behind you, you kinda expected there to be no one there and it really was just you going mad but...no...there was infact someone there.
A man.
Wearing a black long coat and sunglasses.
This did turn your stomach a little how your gut feelings were right but still that didn't mean anything...right.
You had no idea why he was wearing sunglasses in the middle of September but it was his choice not yours.

[Time skip another couple of minutes]

You had now passed a few turnings and he was still there this had already frightened you abit but you thought it was just your overthinking and he was just taking ithe same route as you.
But you had to admit you were abit unsure to trust this man or not.
So you did somesort of test , you took 3 right turns in a row and then 2 left turns heading the complete opposite way to where you were originally going. Not wanting to look back until all turns were taken.
Moment of truth.
You turned your head slightly trying not to make it to obvious that your looking incase he was there.
And he was.
Now your paranoia had kicked in.
Knowing you were alone probably didn't help it either.
Not knowing what else to do you decided to speed up your paste a little trying desperately to find a way out but to your surprise he had done the same.
You were being followed.
You were sure of it.
Now your not at all knowing where you are or where your heading towards, someone's following you and no one else is to be seen walking by.
Great, this is exactly what you needed. You knew this kinda stuff happened quite abit here in London but you didn't atchually think it would happen to you.

You spotted someone walking the same direction as you further in front.
Not giving it a second thought, you as casual as you could went up to the stranger and without even looking at who it was gripped there arm and went on walking, looking like a couple would.

They turned there head probably seeing the look on your face new something was wrong so they played it off with you looking straight ahead. you muttered just loud enough for the stranger to hear "I'm terribly sorry for this but I think im being followed" .
