Mine only

Chapter 15 - Stalking the stalker

Enzo's POV
I read the letter.

Dear Alyssa,
I noticed your little boyfriend is back. Hate him. You and I both know I'm better than him. I mean it, Alyssa. Stop playing games. You're on thin ice. I know where you live. Where you work. Where your little boyfriend works. And I also happen to know you're pregnant. Or at least trying. I'm sick of you and that guy. If I didn't know any better, I would've tried to kill him by now. But let's be honest, you picked a strong one. One who can protect you from the world? One who you can count on and hide behind? But I will find you Alyssa. He isn't always there. I will rip you apart, bathe in your fucking blood. Unless you want to be with me. Then meet me at the town bridge. I'll be waiting, my love.

From your beloved stalker.

He made me want to rip him apart instead. My heart rate picked up as I heard muffling from Alyssa's room, and I hurried in there. I ran inside, switching on the lights to find a sleepy Alyssa turning in bed.
"What the hell?" She pushed herself up, and I stood there, not knowing how to explain myself. Should I tell her?
I went over to the bed and pulled her close to me.
"You scared me. All that muffling."
"What muffling?" I noticed the window was slightly open, which I remembered closing. It can't be, right? He wouldn't have...
"Fuck!"

Alyssa flinched and backed away slightly, suprised by my outburst.
"Honey, I need you to listen to me." I looked deep into her eyes.
"Your stalker left a letter. I'm not going to let you read it. It's rough and painful even for me. He knows you're pregnant. He knows where you live. And he probably was the one muffling in your room a second ago. Now I know this is a lot, and I didn't want to stress you out. Please, relax." Her mouth was open, and her eyes were filled with pure fear for her death. I wanted to take it all away. All together.

"W-what?" She stuttered, but I knew she didn't want me to repeat myself. "I thought he'd finally leave me alone." She cried, and I pulled her into my arms. She pulled away and quickly closed the window and the curtains before snuggling into my arms again.
"He even knows where you work, honey." Shs cried even more, and I was hurting, knowing she's crying there because of what I told her. I felt like it was my fault, but I knew better than to be weak right now. All I knew was that I had to protect her. I tightened my grip on her and thought. How could I alone protect her?

I got up to go to the living room again, and Alyssa held onto my hand as she followed me. I didn't blame her for being scared to be left alone after that. I sat down and pulled out my phone, calling a familiar number. It was around two in the morning, so I was hoping he'd answer.
"Enzo? Why are you calling this late, man?"
"Alex. Is Lizzy with you?"
"Yeah, of course she is. You interrupted our sex so you better have a good fucking reason to."
"I do. Put me on speaker so she can also hear."
"Alright man, there you go. Done."
"Lizzy, Alex. I need you both to come over. And I'm not talking like a couple of drinks and go home. Pack all your shit and you'll be staying her for months even."
"What? Why?"
"Alyssa. Her...Stalker is after her. And I can't leave her unattended at all. And I mean at all. I was in the living room while that freak broke into our bedroom where she was sleeping just now."
"WHAT NOW?" They both shouted, their voice filled with worry and disbelief.
"Yeah. Please can you help me catch the fucker?"
"On our way. We there in an hour."

We both hung up, and I pulled Alyssa close to me.
"I don't want you to stress. You're safe with me, okay? I need you to focus on our little one right now. Let me handle the rest." She nodded at my words and snuggled into me deeper. I covered her with the knitted blanket we watched movies with, and she fell asleep on my arm.

Forty minutes later, there was Alex and Lizzy at the front door with all their suitcases and stuff.
"You came." I shook his hand.
"You called." He said with a soft voice, and I helped them carry in their stuff.
Alyssa pulled herself up from the couch and fell into Lizzy's arms. Alex went over to the counter where all the pregnancy tests were still.
"Wait. Is she? Is Alyssa? Is she pregnant?" Lizzy froze while holding Alyssa, who looked at me with wide eyes.
"Well, I guess you two may know now. We kind of left that out there by accident." I scratched the back of my head. Lizzy was so happy, you could tell from her face.

After minutes of celebration, Alyssa and I showed them the guest bedroom, which had an already made bed in case they were tired. They put down their stuff but joined us in the living room for some wine. Alex and I didn't drink anything alcoholic. After some hours spent talking, I could tell the two girls were tired. We carried them to me and Alyssa's bedroom and laid them on the bed. We made sure to lock the windows, and we guarded them all night long. We talked about old memories and how we both used to be while the girls slept. We weren't tired. We just checked on them every couple of minutes and continued talking.

The next morning, we were greeted with another letter on our door mat. Alex and I were the only ones awake, and it was written on Alex and Enzo. We began to read it together while the girls slept.

Dear boys,
You two are smarter than I thought, I'll give you that. But you can't keep me away forever. I will get to Alyssa no matter what. And now, Enzo, you got her in even more trouble. You didn't tell her about meeting me, so she didn't, and now I want to kill her in the ways you've never thought of. Goodbye for now. But we'll meet real soon.
From your beloved stalker.

We read the letter, and I could feel Alex stiffening up. He never actually read any of his creepy messages, and he was in shock.
"What should we do?" He asked.
"There's only one thing we can. We have to become stalkers. We have to stalk the stalker." He looked at me confused. "We'll convince the girls we have an urgent out of town mission and make sure they belive it. Set them up as traps. But not too easy. Make it hard for the stalker. And we creep up on him from behind. Like we used to do in the old days. Remember by the border, setting up human traps to catch out the rivals?" He smiled and nodded, impressed by the idea.

We decided to bring the girls with us to the base and we drew a map of out house and the area around it. Right behind it was a forest which meant me and Alex could use our old Camo uniform to bend in and catch out the killer.

I took a small glance at Lizzy and Alyssa talking far from us. We told them we have an upcoming mission out of town and I could tell it was taking a toll on her. I could tell he was stressed by the way she was holding onto her stomach. She knew better than to stress. I went over ot her and kissed her, my tongue exploring her mouth entirely even though it was already familiar with it.
