❝ Cold-Blooded Serial Killer ❞
—✦ Elara
The loud thunders roaring in the darkness of the sky has awakened my sleeping consciousness. Along with the rumbles is the stormy sound of the rain which can be heard from the huge window positioned afore the right side of the king-sized bed I'm resting on. The flash emitted by the lightning passes through the thin fabric of the curtain, giving fleet brightness throughout my dark surrounding.
Napabangon ako sa pagkakahiga at tumingin sa tabi ko. I see no presence of Kol there but an empty space, making confusion envelop in my wakefulness.
I've been staying here at Kol's mansion since last night. Hindi na ako nakauwi sa condo dahil mataas ang lagnat ko simula pa kagabi. Although my temperature has gone down already, my body still feels heavy until now.
I turn on the lamp shade and reach for my phone placed on the bedside table. Napagtantuan kong alauna na pala ng madaling araw matapos kong tignan ang oras dito.
I reroute my eyes on the surrounding, traveling my gaze to look for Kol. However, no shadow of him is present in this room, kaya naman tumayo ako mula sa kama at pumunta sa banyo, hindi ko rin pinalagpas ang walk-in closet subalit kahit saan ay hindi ko natagpuan si Kol.
Saan nagpunta 'yon ng gan'tong oras? Malakas pa ang ulan sa labas.
Feeling a bit lightheaded, I leave the room and walk my feet to the dark hallway of the mansion while listening to the growls of thunders. Dahil do'n ay nakaramdam ako ng bahagyang kilabot.
Ang dilim-dilim ng paligid, mayroon pang nakasabit na creepy painting sa dulo ng hallway. Feeling ko tuloy ay may nagmamasid sa likuran ko. . .
With my phone's flashlight as my guide to see the floor, I go down the grand staircase to reach the living room. Kasabay ng flashlight ay inilibot ko ang aking paningin sa paligid, ngunit wala akong nakitang isang Kol Aiden. Kahit pa sa kusina at dining area ay wala siya nang pumunta ako roon.
A long sigh escapes my lips as I run my fingers through my disheveled hair. Ano bang pumasok sa utak ng taong 'yon at kung saan-saan siya nagpupupunta? And at 1 o'clock in the morning?
I decide to head back to the living room and dial his phone number. But while stepping my cold, trembling feet on the freezing surface of the floor, an eerie, creaking sound suddenly echoes off the walls.
And when I face the direction where it's coming from, the huge wooden door is slowly gaping by some sort of force, and it is what causes my heart to jitter inside my chest.
