Ava's P.O.V (point of view)
Walking down the boulevard with my dog, Link, has become a good old boring routine.
He is a little black dog, about as tall as my knee and with pointy ears. He kind of looks like a wolf actually, which is probably the reason I bought him. I love wolves, they are so majestic yet terrifying.
I keep walking past all these beautiful houses and they make me wish I lived in one of them.
Too bad for me, I live in a small apartment with this little guy. I barely make rent and these people are living it up with big houses and even pools. Maybe I'll get lucky a rich person that could take me away and live the high life.
I let out a loud sigh
but I know that won't happen. At least I have this little guy
I smiled at Link and he barked happily.
"You're the best. You know that?" I told him.
He barked in response and wagged his curly tail.
Awe, he is so cute. My adoration for my dog was quickly interrupted by a man that was suddenly in my path.
"Oh, sorry I didn't see you... there."
This man was staring at me, and I mean really staring. At. Me. It was as if he was staring into my soul, really creeping me out.
"Do you need something?" I asked him, trying to stay calm.
To any normal person, I must seem rude but people don't just appear out of thin air... As far as I know, he could be a murderer.
Also, Link is unusually calm around this guy and it is making me a bit on edge. Normally he barks at everyone. He's a very protective dog.
The man was of average height and wearing a black suit with a red tie. His receding hairline made him seem older than I believe he actually was. He is kind of handsome actually, even though there is something suspicious about him.
It must be his black hair, I've always had a thing for people with dark hair. All though, his smug face made me feel even more uneasy.
Jesus Ava! Think with your head and not your vagina for once!
You just met the man. But here you are thinking about him like you want to date him. Keep your head on track, he might be dangerous.
Even though that hasn't stopped me before...
I must have zoned out because of the smirk on his face.
"Oh if you only knew, love." He said in a British accent.
Oh, he's British, even better...
I really need to stop.
"What are you talking about?" I asked him.
"Curiosity killed the cat, Ava."
"How do you..." I didn't get to finish my sentence before he was gone.
He vanished into thin air...
How did he know my name?...
I must be hallucinating or something.
I haven't slept a lot lately, after all. I should probably see a doctor or a psychologist... or maybe both?
I put the odd encounter in the back of my mind as started walking back to my apartment. Link walking beside me looking pleased for some reason.
It was about a 5-minute walk to my apartment.
I unlocked the door and stepped inside. I took Link's collar off and let him loose in the apartment.
He walked straight into my room, jumped up on MY bed, and started rolling around in the sheets.
Oh... Not again!
I ran after him into the room
"Who told you that you were allowed to lay there? Hmm?"
He gave me an innocent look and jumped down.
"That's what I thought," I said firmly as he left the room.
He went to the corner of the living room and lay in his fluffy bed.
I would totally sleep in his bed if I could. It sure was expensive enough
Wait, Let me explain, his bed looks better than my bed, but he always sleeps in my bed. I'll probably never know why.
After all, I don't have a problem with a cuddling partner at night... But at the same time, I don't feel like changing the sheets all the time, because of him shedding so much. Therefore, he's only allowed to sleep there at night.
I seriously need to get a partner soon... this is getting pathetic.
--------------
I ate some leftovers from last night and went to bed. Did I forget to mention that it's 10 pm? I feel like that was important to mention for some reason.
I went to close my bedroom window, when I noticed something outside...
It was that man again! He was staring at my window.
Creepy much...
Congratulations Ava! You got yourself a stalker.
He waved at me. I closed the curtains, fast. Okay, Ava, chill. There's no reason to call the police. He hasn't done anything yet. He's probably just in your imagination. You haven't had much sleep lately. Just go to sleep.
---------------
I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling restless, so I went and got a glass of water.
I walked past Link's bed but he was not in it.
Hmmm, that's weird.
Maybe he's laying under the couch or something. That dog does all sorts of peculiar things. I took a cup out of the cabinet and filled it with water.
When I turned around I saw that man right in front of me petting my dog.
I was so startled that I dropped the glass and I shattered all over the floor.
"Easy there, love. Don't hurt yourself." He said in his British accent.
"What the...! Who the...! How?!" Was all I managed to utter.
There were no broken windows and the door was locked.
How did he get in?!
