MIDNIGHT WHISPERS| Kylia

(V)

I look at the completely empty street in front of me, with all the houses with the lights off. The sky is dark because it's night, but it's even darker because of the black clouds carried by the heavy rain that is nearby.

I shouldn't have come to Dylan's house, but I had promised that I would come to his house on Saturday so we can spend the day together. We've been friends for a long time, but we haven't been together, since he's part of the stupid school group, we've been together a few times, but that's not beyond that.

Now, I walk in calm steps down the sidewalk of the street of my condominium, hugging my own body, feeling the icy wind shiver my whole body.

The sun was strong earlier today, so I chose to wear one of my thousands of dresses that I have. But now, I'm sorry, feeling a horrible cold.

There is neither noise nor light on, only the cars in the garage and the well-made gardens. I keep walking calmly, trying to turn on my cell phone that gave its last signal before I left Dylan's house.

I'm still far from home, and that makes me uncomfortable. Before leaving Dylan's house, I had seen that it was almost ten at night, and it's around these hours that the shit happens.

I sigh frustrated, putting the cell phone in my little black bag that is on my shoulder.

In addition to my steps, I can hear more footsteps approaching from afar, soon I feel my heart racing. But a sigh of relief comes out of my mouth when one of the neighbors runs by.

Old idiot, who runs at a time like this?

I look at the man running, quickly disappearing from my sight. I put my hair back, returning to breathing normally.

But, shrill noises of something pointed dragging through the metal make me freeze. I hurry my steps, trying not to show that I'm scared to death.

With all the courage I don't have, I turn my face back, feeling my heart stop for a few seconds when I see the figure in black costumes with red details from head to toe coming calmly.

My breathing fails, seeing the person approaching, with there head down, letting me see only there red cap and there dark hair out.

So it's a fucking woman?

Did I do something wrong and she's trying to take revenge and going to kill me?

My God!

I turn forward, speeding my steps more, feeling the beats of my heart super accelerated and the breath failing.

I hear a laugh, and again, the shrill sound of something dragging on the metal appears nearby, so close that it makes me freeze.

- Where are you going, doll? - her voice is hoarse and muffled, but it still carries a soft tone. - If I count to three, can you go faster? - she asks, making me swallow dry, listening to her close steps.

Fuck.

- um.. - she starts, and I feel like I'm going to faint.

I rush my steps a lot, but the more I try to be fast, the further away from home I get.

I can't take it anymore.

- two.. - her hoarse voice sounds terrifying.

I run, trying to be as fast as possible, but I can't stand it, my breathing fails and my legs lose their strength, making me stop and put my hand on my chest, feeling it go up and down quickly.

Now all you have to do is wait for my death.

- three.. - I feel a chill down my spine when I feel your presence behind me, whispering on the left side of my face.
