Through The Dark (Liam Payne Fanfic)

Chapter 78 -- Stalker

Winnie's P.O.V.

"Liam, just go. Everything will be fine." I said and insisted on him going to the studio. He and the boys have some major work to do before their new album Four is released.

"But babe, come with us please. I will feel so much better." he said.

"Liam, I will be fine." I said and put my hands on his shoulders. He stared in my eyes and sighed.

"Alright." he said and kissed my forehead. "I'll see you in a few hours."

"Looking forward to it." I said and kissed him goodbye. For a couple hours, I just laid around, watched some tv, cleaned, and ate. Around 5, it started getting really dark because a storm was coming in. The boys were gonna be back soon, so I just set my attention on that and didn't focus on the storm. I absolutely hate thunderstorms, especially when I'm alone.

I was watching Hey Arnold when it all started. The thunder was extremely loud, the lightening was bright, and the rain was pounding. Suddenly, the lights when out and I screamed.

"Oh just great. Just peachy." I said and walked to the kitchen to find flashlight. As I was searching, I heard the door open and then close.

"Liam! Are you home?" I asked, but got no response.

"Okay Winnie, you're just hearing things." I said. I made my way back to the sofa, and remembered that I had a flashlight on my phone. I then dialed Liam's number but of course I was getting no service because of the storm.

"Ugh great." I said again. Suddenly, I heard a loud crack and then a boom. As I was standing there, I swore I wasn't alone and to my assumption I was right. As the lightening lit the room up, I saw someone standing in the corner, wearing a black sweatshirt with the hood up and black everything else.

"No." I said in panic. When the lightening hit again, there was no one there.

"I'm losing my mind." I said. Just to be safe, I made my way to my room, shut the door quietly, and then hid under the bed.

"Winnie, you're just imaging things." I said. As I laid there, under the bed, I heard the door creak open and I knew I wasn't imagining anything. I quickly put my hand over my hand to quiet my breathing, and watched as the person came closer. They looked around for a few seconds and as they were about to leave, my phone starting ringing and they stopped.

"No no no." I said and saw Liam's number glowing on my screen. The room was quiet, and I thought they left, but suddenly someone grabbed on to my ankles and pulled me out from under the bed. I screamed when we came face to face and they instantly ripped my ringing phone out of my hand and put it on speaker before pressing answer.

"Hey sweetie, is everything ok?" Liam's sweet voice asked. There was a long pause and he talked again.

"Win?" he asked. "Are you alright?"

"Say goodbye." the stranger said in a raspy tone.

"No!" I screamed and then everything went black.

Liam's P.O.V.

"It's raining really hard out lads. I think I'm gonna give Winnie a call." I said and dialed her number. I instantly typed in the number that I easily memorized and waited for her to answer.

"Hey sweetie, is everything ok?" I asked. There was a long pause but she didn't answer.

"Lads, come here." I said and motioned for them to come over. I put my phone on speaker and we listened.

"Win?" I asked. "Are you alright?"

"Say goodbye." a stranger voice said in a raspy tone.

"No!" Winnie screamed. "Please no!" she cried and then the line cut.
