It was this particular night that is was very cold.The December wind picked up again turning the trees outside into ghoulish shapes across my floor. The ever so constant thump against a window from these trees woke me. I opened my eyes looking at my phone for the time,immersed in my comforter trying to get warm. '3:09 AM' it read in white lettering across a background of trees decorated in snow. Why is it so cold;why can't I sleep. 

I sat up and pushed my feet from under the comforter, reaching for my slippers. I stood up finally a little clumsy. I walked out of my room heading towards the thermostat when something caught my sight outside the window. I walked over to the window to get a better view. There in all his glory was coffee shop man. He stood without a shirt staring down at the window I was in. His stare caused hair to raise on the back of my neck. I shivered looking away for a moment then immediately looked back to his window. He was gone. I sighed, he was starting to freak me out. 

I walked to my thermostat and turned the dial up more so I could get warm, why was it so low?Walking back to my room I heard a pounding on the front door down stairs. What, why would someone be banging on my door this late at night. An ever louder bang came again that shook the wall. Me being me, had watched to many scary movies to know it was never good when someone bangs on your door at 3 in the morning. I timidly walked down the stares feeling scared and feeling like a scary movie. About to reach the door,  I heard him.

"Let me in!"It was coffee shop man and he sounded so scared. 

"Please, let me in, please, there was, I can't, oh my god."

Immediately I opened the door. I looked at him he was still shirtless. In only a pair of heather grey joggers. He looked so panicked. 

"Are you okay;What's wrong?!"I felt as out of breathe as he did due to my race in heart beat from being scared.

"There was something in my house, please let me in."

"What was in you're house?!"

"I don't know, someone was in the room next to mine making noise, I think it was a robber. "

I pondered his story over it seemed weird that he wouldn't reach for his phone an call the police, but risk walking down the stares and out to my house, making his presence known.

"please.. they could come and see us out here."

I stepped aside and he just stared at me. Why is he standing there I stepped once more away from the door so he could come in why wasn't he stepping inside.

"Well come on in then..."He gave a quick side smirk as he stepped inside.

I turned around to close the door, but the second I turned around he was standing behind me.

"Foolish, foolish child." he loomed over me like a shadow on the wall. My chest was slightly touching his. 

"Whaaaa... what?" I tried stepping back but his hand grabbed onto my waist. My hands instantly flying up to his bare chest. He was extremely hot to the touch. I looked from my hands on his chest to his face. Then noticing his eyes. They were black. Not that there weren't black eyes but, his eyes used to be green. I gasped and started to struggle.

"Aww, now now baby doll it's gonna be okay, I won't purposefully hurt you."

"pp.p.please...." I looked down and tried harder to get loose and make a run for it. 

"Please what angel....come on say it.....SAY IT SO I CAN HEAR IT FROM THOSE PRETTY PINK LIPS!"His fingers glided across my lower lip as they slightly parted.

"Please don't hurt me."

"mmmm, that what I love to hear....(mimics voice) please don't hurt me, please don't kill me...I didn't do anything."At this point I started to sob as the first tear hit my cheek. 

"And theres the tears." He swiped his thumb across my cheek and then put it in his mouth sucking on it as he closed his eyes. 

I watched as he did this continuing to cry. He opened his eyes again looking at me and then holding me even closer to him. 

"I have waited so long for someone as pure as you.As innocent as you. So precious and delicate, huh little bird?" he stated, his head tilting to its side as if examining me fully.

"Now lets see if we can't get a fire going." He released me and I felt the urge to move to the front door. 

He turned so swiftly with an angered expression. "Don't. Even. Think. About. It." He turned back to the front room walking around the couch to the fire place, looking over his shoulder towards me and flicking his fingers as a fire started.

I just remember screaming, finally my mouth had caught up with my mind. I remember also falling but it not hurting. And then nothing.
