A.L.E.N - Between Shadows (Chapter 2)

Act 19

In the meantime, Hannah was trying to sleep as she went to bed, but she couldn't because she had a lot of thoughts in her head, and shortly after that, Hannah closed her eyes and fell asleep.

However, it didn't last long as Hannah suddenly heard something like an odd sound coming from the kitchen's door, which made her slowly open her eyes, feeling half sleepy. The back door from the kitchen was trying to open by itself or more by someone else.

Until Hannah heard a loud sound like a smashed window of the door and pieces of glass falling on the ground, and immediately she got up and went down stairs and saw the least unexpected thing.

Someone was trying to break in and enter her house.

Hannah immediately went to the kitchen and grabbed a kitchen knife as she quickly opened the drawer. Then, Hannah went to the living room, where she could see the back door leading from the living room to the kitchen, and it fell silent as she shouted, "Whoever is here." Leave immediately! The cops are on their way."

Until a loud kick smashed the door down really hard, and the cold wind blows rain drops inside as the dark large figure slowly walks in, and Hannah holds the knife in her hands, shaking and pointing at the figure, which turns out to be the man with the cap all overdressed, the bandages that wrap around his face and head, except for his eyes, a jacket, some old pants, and also boots, all in dark colors, but because they were wet, turns them black.

The man walks in and just stands there staring at the trash bin and seeing the ripped-off letter, but she asks again as she tries to control her fear by holding the knife still.

Hannah screams at him, "Stop!" As she walks slowly backwards until she hits a wall, shaking in fear and barely holding the knife, she begins to cry, begging him, "Please. I don't want to end like this: "I have a job and a son to look after." When Hannah shows weakness by closing her eyes and beginning to pray, the man grabs the knife from her hands, throws it to the ground, and gently touches her cheek with his wet glove, which strangely calms her down.

As the man lets her go and walks slowly through the door, he pulls his pocket knife from behind him and walks slowly with his heavy boots towards the kitchen, and Hannah holds the knife with both hands as the man looks back and slowly walks towards her.

As the man walks away, Hannah, devastated and demanding angrily, stops him by saying, "Answer me! Was it you who kidnapped my son, Aiden?"

Hannah looked where he was looking and said, "What do you want from my kids?"

The man slowly looks at her and lays his head on the right side. Hannah was perplexed by everything and still couldn't believe it, and she becomes doubtful and confused as she lets down her guard and becomes paralyzed in bewilderment. However, she looks at him and replies, "No, you can't be him... So, let's get my boys out of this!"

And when the man tries to gently touch her hair, Hannah immediately overrated, grabs the knife from the floor, and quickly she makes a cut in his hand, making him drop his knife pocket on the other hand. He falls down on the floor as he sees it and immediately grabs the injured hand in pain as he sees it bleeding and the bandage falls off.

Hannah grabbed his pocket knife and stuck him in the leg, making it more painful as he dropped to his knees, trying to take the knife out of his leg. Hannah used this opportunity to escape and go upstairs, but it didn't go well when the man took the knife out of his leg and grabbed her hair.

Hannah just screams, and as she holds the knife with one hand, Hannah makes a second decision by cutting her hair from behind. The man falls down the stairs, and Hannah locks herself in her bedroom.
