Stalked

Chapter 4

"Don't touch me!" I shouted before knocking him over and running out of the room. I should have looked at his face to see who he was, I'm so stupid. I ran into the first room that had a door and locked it behind me. I leaned up against the locked door and let out a sigh of relief. Now how am I going to get back home? I unlocked the door and peeked out of the door way, as soon as I opened the door I was startled to see the man just outside the door. I quietly shut the door and locked it again, my heart felt like it was going to explode out my chest.

  "Come on, I'm not going to hurt you. Just come out." The man said in a soft and honest voice. I didn't respond instead I looked for a light switch to the mysterious room. I ran my hand across the wall until I finally found the switch. I let out a loud gasp when the light turned on. The walls were covered with pictures, all of me. I heard the door swing open and quickly turned around to meet the eyes of my kidnapper.

  "What's wrong with you?!" I asked, disgusted with the man that stood in front of me.

  "Nothing these aren't mine. I have a roommate and this is his room. I've never stepped foot in here." He said with his hands up in defense and his eyes wandering around the room.

  "Whatever!" I replied with sass, not believing anything he had said.

  "Okay so I'm not a good liar." The man mumbled. If I wasn't so frightened and disgusted right now I would have found that funny. 

  "How long have you been watching me?" I asked curiously, and judging by all the pictures in this room probably at least a month.

  "Since I saw you in the grocery store a few weeks ago. I didn't plan for any of this to go this far. I just saw you and followed you home and I would occasionally drive by your house and see if you were outside. I became obsessed because, I don't know why but, every time I did see you I couldn't help but smile and I got butterflies in my stomach. I just liked the feeling seeing you gave me." He said coming closer to me. As he came closer with every word I had noticed he was wearing an all white mask.

  "Then why wouldn't you try to make conversation with me like a normal person would?" I asked as I took a step back away from him.

  "Because I was afraid you wouldn't like me." He said looking down, as if the floor was suddenly so interesting.

  "Well you would have had a better chance if you had just talked to me than you do kidnapping me!" I said, being sassy again.

  "I know but I'm not gonna hurt you I promise." He said looking up into my eyes.

  "Okay but you have to do one thing to gain my trust." I said.

  "Anything." He said looking at me with hope.

  "Hold still." I said moving towards him. He looked at me confused but obeyed me and stood still as I approached him. When there was just a thin wall of air between us I stopped and raised my hands to his face. I slowly pulled his hood down. As I reached for the mask he jerked away a little but didn't resist my touch. I slowly and carefully removed the white mask.

  "Oh my god." I said looking at the familiar face in shock. I held the mask in my hand as I stood motionless staring at the face of my kidnapper.
