The Stalker's Journal

Entry 14

"Annaaaa!" Zalla called out for Anna as he rushed down the stairs.

"Zalla...no more..." A weak voice called back to him.

"Anna? Are you ok?" He reached the bottom of the stairs and gasped at what he saw, Anna's legs were covered in dry blood and her eyes were dull.

"Oh! Anna I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you so much! Please forgive me!" He ran up to her and gave her a hug.

"I-It's ok...it wasn't your fault...it was mine for not listening..." She coughed. Her hand went limp at his side, hovering over one of his pockets.

"Oh, Anna..." Zalla felt like he was going to cry, not in sadness but in joy. Had she finally excepted him?

Then, just as suddenly as he said that she grabbed the knife he kept in his pocket and pointed it at him.

He gave her a cold stare.

"Anna, even after all of this you still want to fight me? In this state even if you did manage to kill me, you wouldn't get far before dieing of exhaustion." He said with a sly smile.

Her hands shook, then she dropped the knife. Her hands went up to her face and she started to cry. She knew what he said was true.

"Anna, it's ok...once you say you love me...all of this will be over, and we can live happily for the rest of our life's...right?" Zalla went over to where she sat and wrapped his arm around her in a comforting way, patting her head softly with his other hand while he rocked her back and forth like you would a child.

"You know Anna, you're the only thing keeping me from killing myself. And, if you said you loved me, I might actually be happy." He said softly, he didn't understand quite what he had said, he wasn't thinking straight again.

"R-really?" She said with a small sigh.

"Really." Zalla replied, while digging his head into her hair. Even after all this time, he still loved the way her hair felt.

"O-ok..." She whispered softly.

"Ok what?" He asked her with a smile.

"I'll love you..." She replied while shaking, she was scared of his love.

"Oh, Anna...thank you so much...!" He cried out, while hugging her closer to his chest, he was so happy.

"Can you say it again?" He asked hopefully.

"I-I l-love you..." She said feebly.

"Ah!" He cried out in excitement and hugged her closer.

"S-stop that hurts..." Anna cried out in pain, she felt like she was being crushed.

Zalla ignored her though, he was too excited to stop. She had finally said it. What he had wanted her to say for so long...she loved him...

"YOU LOVE ME!" He cried, he was so happy...she was finally all his. She even confirmed it.

Anna went limp in his arms. She finally gave into him. She was finally Zalla's... and he would never let her go.

(Only one chapter after this, and it's gonna be an epilogue. And don't worry, there will probably be a second book XD)
