Chapter 16

Another Picture of Alex up there ^

Monica P.O.V

Red bright eyes.

Staring at me with such a hungry look, I felt frozen.

I couldn't move, I couldn't think.

All I could do was stare back at those red eyes that seemed to be almost glowing.

I wanted to scream, I wanted to move, and yet I found myself paralyzed.

I was frozen with fear. This killer had literally frozen me with one of his looks.

All I could do was look at him, as he slowly circled around me, thinking at what angle was best to finish with me.

Please, I wanted to beg, please don't hurt me.

But my mouth wouldn't open.

I was nothing but a miserable prisoner of terror.

Before I could move, before I could even beg him to spare my life, he moved.

So suddenly, so quickly, I didn't even realize he had moved until he had an icy grip around my throat.

He pressed hard, so hard it blocked the air in my lungs, all I could feel was the burning sting of pain his icy fingers left on my skin.

My eyes widened with horror as I realized this was it, this was the end, I knew he could easily kill me if he applied enough pressure on my neck.

I wanted to squeeze my eyes tightly as I felt him bringing me closer to him, but I couldn't even blink.

I tried backing away but it was useless, I was pathetically weak against his power.

He was going to end me, I knew it.

He brought me closer to him, so close our noses almost touched, his eyes only seemed to grow brighter and now that we were this close I couldn't look away.

He sneered as he saw the horror in my eyes, he leant in closer so our lips almost touched also and whispered "I'm coming to get you".

I woke up with a strangled cry of terror and my hand immediately reached out for Roxanne. My muscles didn't unclench when I felt her shoulder, I scooted so I was closer to her and tried not to make any noise at all to not disturb her.

"Monica?" I heard her whisper.

"Mmm?" I asked back, damn it, so much for not trying to disturb her.

"Where you having a bad dream?" she asked.

"No," I lied.

She rolled over so we were facing each other, "You were weren't you?" she eyed me worriedly with her big gray brown eyes.

I lied again so I wouldn't worry her more "No, really I wasn't" I told her.

"Really? From the looks of it I think you were," Uncle Joey's voice said.

Both Roxanne and I scrambled up and she did a little shriek, "Unc-..Joey!" I nearly screamed "What the hell! What are you doing here?!" I asked.

He was sitting on a chair right next to the bed, from the comfortable position he was in it looked like he had been here a while, "Sorry," he grinned "I didn't mean to scare you" he said holding up his hands innocently.

"How long have you been sitting there?" I asked with a frown.

"Too long," he rolled his eyes "You guys sleep like the dead!" he said with a little hint of amusement.
