short horror

Mina

I was babysiting my friends cat for her while she was out of town she had asked me to do it because she didn't know anyone else who could and also because her cat Chester was familar with me because I had came over so many times .

When my friend left she had texted me everything that I needed to know about Chester's routine and soon enough I had came to her house she had given me her spare key I opened the door to see Chester sitting in front of the entrance he meowed at me he then walked away and sat in his basket cleary not interested in me.

I had placed my bag that I stuffed with clothes in the spare bedroom  sometimes I crash here when we hang out. It use to be my room back when we were roomates I moved a few year's ago due to the fact that the land lord was  harassing me and it wasn't because i wouldn't pay rent i was a good tenant but the man always seemed weird and over board he always needed to come over and the day I left was the day I couldn't take it anymore.

I felt bad leaving my friend with the weirdo but she said that she never had problems with the older man so I left it alone .  I  soon  put my bag down and walked into the Living room and put something on I watched tv for a while I looked over my shoulder to see chester still sleeping I then checked the time to see that I had to feed him I called him as soon as I walked into the kitchen I opened his food and put it in his bowl .

He ate it quickly and once agian walked to his bed satisfied by his meal he crawled in rolling around before settling I threw the can in the trash and walked to the spare bedroom and grabbed some pajamas . I then went to shower when I walked out I was dressed in my night clothes when I heard chester meow the cat hadn't made a sound since I had arrived I walked down the hall I was about to call his  name when I saw him he was standing in the door frame of the spare bedroom.

At first I didn't think nothing of it but I heard a sound come from the room like the sound of closing and opening of drawers. I peeked around the corner to see a person in a black hoodie in the room their back was facing me I gasped but coverd my mouth afraid that they would hear me I looked to my right to see a small statue I grabbed it I then and ran and smacked the person on the head with it.

The person seemed off balance by the hit and agian I tried to hit them but the person quickly regained their balance and grabbed the make shift weapon out of my hands and shoved me hard into the bookcase behind me the book's tumbled down around me as I fell. Their you are the man said in a raspy voice the voice seemed familar the man walked closer I struggled to get up but before I could he grabbed me by my throat with snake like reflexes choking me.

He then got close to my face and seemed to look me over I finally seemed to recognize him when his hoodie fell off his head it was my old landlord . He smiled smugly at me oh you remeber me don't you he said as he squeezed my neck making me gasp as I struggeld to breathe and escape from his grip you thought you could get away from me didn't you he said as he whispered in my ear his breath was hot and smelled awful .

I knew you would come back I have been watching you since you left waiting for the right time to get you he then lifted my head up and put his lip's on mine his tongue seemed to enter my mouth as I fought it disgusted I bit it hard he yanked back screaming while holding his mouth I could see blood  trickling down his lip's. He then smacked me shouting out look what you did my head reared back but I managed to grab one of the book's when he wasn't looking when he walked close and tried to grab me I hit him hard with the heavy book he backed up as he held his head screaming in pain.

I turned and ran out the room when I got the chance and quickly went to the front door I unlocked it throwing it opened and ran to the closests house I banged on their door until someone answered as I shouted someone help me help me please finally I heard somone open their door I ran to it begging them to let  me in they did I slammed it behind me locking it and asked for someone to call the police

soon enough the police had arrived after the call and one of the officers had went into the house to look around while the other asked questions when the officer came out and waved to police officer and soon enough they got my old landlord out he was fighting them but they managed to put him in the cruiser .

I soon found out that the landlord was a predator who had did this to other tenants in the past and that I wasn't the only victim of his my friend had came back after hearing the news and soon moved in with me we became roommates agian but this time we were not his his tenants he was thrown into prison and wouldn't be out for a long time.
