His prey

Chapter 5

"So you dreamt of him last night?" Asked Megan for the sixth time, making me roll my eyes. I wasn't a morning person and the lack of sleep made me even more grumpy.

"Yeah. I told you six times already."

"I know .. it's just weird ... " She muttered more to herself than to me.

"What is weird? I was scared you know brains work in strange ways...."

"No I didn't mean that. " I waited for her explanation. "The fact is that I dreamt of Axel last night and he told me he was going to come and get me. We were at the little bar near your grandma's house. Maybe ... "

"Maybe what?"

"Maybe it's a sign. They're going to find us." Her eyes widened in fear and she covered her mouth.

"Megan it was just a dream. Nothing bad will happen. We were just shaken off. " I told more to reassure myself than her. Now this was weird, we both had a dream of our "stalkers", maybe we were just scared or maybe Megan was right. What? No. I don't believe in those things. We're not in a movie, those creeps didn't even know where we were. They are not coming to get us. I said that out load.

"I really hope so Izzy."

When Meg and I were done with breakfast I went out to look for a job. After three hours I've been rejected eight times! Eight freaking times!!How was that possible? I was so angry with myself that I wasn't looking where I was walking and I bumped into someone. I looked up to apologize to the person then my breathe caught in my throat. The man looked exactly like Thanos, except for the eyes, that were almost black and the age, he looked much more older than Thanos. Was this a relative? I couldn't breathe. I had to go and not attract any suspicion, he could have asked for help. God knows what Thanos is capable off.

"Mi dispiace molto signore. - I'm very sorry sir." I apologized and left, without looking back. Hopefully my mind was playing tricks on me. There was no way that Thanos' relatives or parents could be here. I decided to go home, it was already lunch time and I felt unaccomplished, plus seeing someone that resembled Thanos was not a good thing, I came here to forget him and his crazyness, not to see his identical older copy.

"Are you okay?" Asked my nonna. I nodded and went up to my room. I didn't want to worry her with my problems, I mean not yet. It was just a coincidence. Right? It had to be. There's a lot of people who look the same without being related, yeah. Just relax Izzy. I changed and wore something more comfortable. When I was done I checked myself in the mirror and I went downstairs. I found my grandma with another woman and Meg talking. They looked like good friends.

"Oh Maria this is my granddaughter Isabella. Izzy this is Maria one of my dearest friends."

"Nice to meet you Maria."

"Likewise." We shook hands and smiled to each other. Maria seemed to be my nonna's age, she had blue kind eyes and blonde hair that were tied up in a ponytail. She was wearing a fancy pink tailleur that hugged her body in an elegant way.

"Do you live close by?"

"Yes we're neighbors actually. My grandson and his friends will visit me soon. You girls should come visit us if you want, I think they'd like to meet people their age." She smiled kindly again.

"Oh yeah, it would nice. Where are they coming from?"

"The United States."

"What's your grandson's name?" Meg asked her.

"It's Thanos." I almost choked on my own spit as I heard that, my eyes widened looking at Megan, her expression reflected mine. It cannot be!

"What about his friends?" I tried to ask as seriously as possible.
