Its nearly four AM, Yu has managed to get to the car, it's still dark out, fumbling through the purse to look for the keys, she furrows her brows.  "It should be in here"... She mumbles, something in the corner of her eye moves out of sight.  Her heart rate has suddenly gone up a bit, maybe it was a dog or a cat right. 

Turning on the light on her phone she begins looking, for sure she could've sworn it was in there, were they taken out by chance, or did she miss place them.  Something shiny from the bottom corner of the purse has caught her attention.  Picking it up her smile widens, it was the keys to her car.  Pressing the button to unlock, she opens the driver side.  Getting inside, yu was putting her stuff down in the next seat not aware of the hooded stranger in the dark just watching. 

Her phone goes off, the stranger tilts their head slowly, staying in the smallest part of light.  Yu sits back up, the car starts up as she was reaching for the door handle her blood runs cold.  The hairs on her neck are standing up, somebody was watching.  Shivering again, her palms begin to sweat, pulling the handle the door is shut, yu then locks it. 

The phone goes off again, nervously gulping down the lump forming her throat.  She looks at it again, it was from Stacey, responding back a loud thump comes from the back of car window.  She nearly drops her phone, what was it that made the noise.  Rolling the window down and poking her head out slightly it looked like something is on the trunk of her car.  Whatever it is moves off, the pounding of her heart can be felt through the chest.  Something then moves closer to the car, she gasps, and rolls the window up in time.  There on the window is a pair of hands in black gloves. 

She never felt this uneasy before, suddenly they begin tapping on the glass.  The girl fumbles for her keys, once grabbing them she then puts them in the ignition.  Turning it the car starts, the phone kept going off, yu puts it in drive and pulls out.  Whoever it was backs up in time, she drives away. 

Shaking in fear, she tries to calm herself down, pulling into the empty like road she drives home.

Its five in the morning, yu comes into her apartment in distraught. Yet so uneasy, luckily there wasn't a neighbor next door.  To the left that is, sighing in relief and locking the door she slips out of the shoes. Yu trembles on her way to the bedroom...sitting down on the bed and pulling her phone out she texts her friends back telling them what had happened. 

The group of friends are talking to each other to help her calm down.  Once she's settled There's call from the boss, "damnit I just got home" sighing again and answering her boss behind talking.  "You can you come in to work today, it seems one of the workers have called in their two weeks notice, I'm sorry it's supposed to be your day off I really am but I'm quite sad about this situation" "it's okay don't worry about it I will come in shortly give me 5-10 minutes" "thank you so much I'll pay you extra money when payday comes".

Extra money huh, well that's something good at least, yu then sucks in air wanting to relax of course but stands up.  She begins getting ready for work, walking out of the apartment and heading down the staircase her phone was on silent.  The stair case was darkish but also another route to take just incase something bad were to happen.

One after the other she takes a turn, the air suddenly becoming slightly chilly, it sends chicken skin up her arms.  Maybe it was the air conditioning unit keeping the place cooled down.  As she keeps walking she nearly jumps at the loud banging sound of a door shutting.  "Hate it when the door shuts that loud" she mutters lowly.  Footsteps echoing above her, the hairs on the back her neck rising slowly.  It suddenly goes silent just like in horror movies.  The only thing that can be heard is her own breathing and heart beating. 

Thump....thump....thump...it steadily beating as loud as it can be at making it heard to hear through both of her ears.  Something scurries behind Yu, she jumps in alert.  Quickly turning on the right heel, there at the middle section iof the stairs is the shadowy figure standing there in complete Erie silence, not a single movement.  Her heart still beating, "how did you find me here" "...." No response, Yu starts heading down the stairs in a hurry, sweat starting to form, whoever it is starts following right behind her. 

She starts running for a bit getting closer and closer to the first floor, there at the bottom is the exit door.  The stranger doesn't stop running, their in arms reach.  Yu can feel herself getting tired, but suddenly the black gloves hand of the stranger instantly grabs her arm tightly. She yelps in pain, they don't let go, "let go of me !!" She growls in anger.  But the fear still evident in her eyes as they tilt their head, not saying a single thing still.  It felt so weird and terrifying, slapping the stranger they let go. 

She backs away and continues running, finally at the bottom of the stairs she doesn't see the stranger or at least she couldn't.  It was too dark, grabbing the exit door handle and giving it a turn it doesn't budge.  Like it was locked on the outside, "w-what is this!?" Her breathing picks up slightly.  The sound of the echoing footsteps coming close to her makes her heart rate sky rocket.  Quivering in fear still her lips start getting chapped. 

"H-hey the door is locked can somebody hear me!!" She bangs her open palm on the metal door.  Suddenly she feels two hands resting gently on her shoulders followed by breathing.  Yu couldn't move one bit, who is this stranger and what do they want from her.

"...so beautiful~" they deeply whispered sending her entire body shivering. Within a blink of an eye there's something cold pressing against the name of Yu's neck.  Was this shadowy figure going to kill her right now, or worse than what anyone would ever think.  This make sure blood rub very cold, knees locking, sweating drenching her palms making them sticky.

"W-what ever you want I don't have, I also don't wanna die-" "....cuties like you shouldn't waste their life in fear~".  As soon as she screams they quickly cover her mouth roughly.  "Why..did you fucking do that...I'm not going to hurt you...unless I need to" the sound of her muffled cries echoes.  Gripping the keys tightly, she lifts her arm up slightly before jabbing them into the strangers side.  They pull back into the darkness groaning slightly. 

Yu quickly escapes.
