A crowd of people filled the book sign event , you couldn't believe your eyes how these people right here with you are the … fans of your book. You looked at the cover of your book, altering your gaze between the book and to the sea of book lovers' bodies that set such an accomplishment in your heart. 

Looking at it both ,you knew deep in your heart. 'I made it. I finally made it '. You wanted to give a hug to yourself , a proud hug. You did it on all your own. From nothing to something, only if your parents were here. You might feel shy with them because you wrote adult content but.. achievement is an achievement.

Beaming, you signed your latest book which was given by a fan . Her personal keep. Her features & physique seems young. Early 20s . Priorly she addressed her name. 

"I love your book so much, Y/n author!. Are you going to write more ?" The loud fangirl hyping you , a beeline has been made , more of your book fans tagging along her back. People who came to the book sign event were buzzing like bees, so noisy & busy , making conversation when one shared a common interest. A common ground.

You adored this atmosphere although crowding places makes you a bit anxious but you were in one room with the people who love your literacy. Somehow, that soothed your heart & calms down your heartbeat. Who would know? Peculiar strangers could affect you like that. I mean they were not totally strangers.. 

"Thank you so much , Aaliyah. Hopefully if I'm still alive & breathing. I will write.." you responded with humour . The fan named Aaliyah giggled, her teeth in full display , giddy & joy written all over it. Aaliyah then left & went to her set of friends. They must love books , you mused & presumed . They could tag along because they purely want to accompany her . Well ,it isn't your job to make guesses.

Your editor behind brings you back to your actual job , she slowly patted you as you watch Aaliyah fondly vacating the event , her eyes creasing & a warm shining smile causes such a phenomenon. Her eyes smile too, you input. You went back to your fans , your neck crane up to take a good look at the next turn of fan.

A suspicious looking long hair female fan greeted your sight, based on her structure she looks like a woman. Dressed in black from head to toe. A mask covering her face , obstructing your view . 

People who look like this tend to hide something but to look on the bright side ,your heart assumes the best , maybe this person just doesn't like public places or showing their face. Gotta handed it to her. She has style. She handed the book you wrote , you saved up a smile. Her hooded eyes peered into yours,it looked empty but sad & scary at the same time. 

"Your name ? "

" Just put A there"

"A as in your initial?"

"Anonymous " that was a little too Pretty Little Liars for you. It was supposed to make you think it was cool. Maybe she did it for fun but.. you don't think it is funny & fun anymore. You worked up a tiny strained smile  , her eyes went siren. Like she knew you were forcing. You also swore you felt like her eyes were telling something ,in this case mocking you, your reaction was her entertainment. 

As soon as the 'A' person left , a voice creeped to your shoulder , it felt chilling till your bones. Whispering beside your ears in a specific horrifying tone "Y/n…" something called your name. Your mouth went dry , you hysterically screamed "Shut-UP! " , the chair shrieked with a noise as you got up. The results of grazing the floor. Everyone in the book event area which was filled with so many voices went ..silence in a snap by your breakdown & burst off. A pin-drop silenced. 

No one spoke. No one whispered. Just a hundred sets of eyes. Judging you. They think you're crazy right?. All that happiness vanished & sense of accomplishment was short-lived, your anxiety relapsed . You were breathing heavily. So heavy ,you felt like your heart could explode or anyone could hear it. You were shaking.

Running off , your editor shouted your name but you were nowhere on her line of sight. Meanwhile , someone was watching you like a favourite movie, grinning in both furtive & wickedness behind their mask.
