After her encounter with the killer in the desert town, Marceline continued her journey south, always looking over her shoulder, always wary of any sign of danger. She found a small town on the coast of Mexico, a place where she hoped she could finally find some peace.

She rented a small house on the outskirts of town, far from prying eyes. She tried to settle into a routine, to forget the horrors of her past. But the feeling of safety she had hoped for was short-lived.

One night, as she was returning home from the market, she felt it again. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up, and she had the distinct feeling that someone was following her. She quickened her pace, but the footsteps behind her matched hers, step for step.

She reached her house and fumbled with her keys, her heart pounding in her chest. She glanced behind her and saw a figure standing in the shadows, watching her. She screamed and ran inside, locking the door behind her.

She called the police, but by the time they arrived, the figure was gone. They searched the area but found no trace of anyone. Marceline was left shaken and terrified, knowing that the killer was still out there, still watching her.

She tried to convince herself that it was just her imagination, that she was safe now. But deep down, she knew the truth. The killer was still out there, still hunting her, and she would never truly be safe until he was caught for good.
