Be Strong Girl

Nightmare coming alive

Hey there! I hope you're having a great day :) Let's continue the story... Hope you enjoy ^_^ #beprepared

There's that creepy whisper again, "If this is a joke it's not funny!" I scream. Oh how I wish this was a joke.... I suddenly hear behind me. I turn around and feel something against my arm, goosebumps appear on my skin. I warned you!! The voice says angry and it echoes against the buildings. "Who are you? And why should I listen to you?!" "I mean, you follow me everywhere and warn me for something, but why?!" Don't get angry with me young lady, you should be happy I was trying to protect you. But as I already said: it's too late now... I start to look around me and see the sky getting darker, this is not good. I start running back home, but when I'm almost there I feel something holding me back, or as I'd better say someone. A hand wraps around my arm and I try to pull it off of me, but the person is too strong. "Let go of me!". "Hey, I won't harm you, it's just me". And yes, there is the guy AGAIN. "Why do you keep following me??" "I don't, just saw you running and didn't want you to fall again ya know". "Alright, thanks, but could you let go of me?" "Oh, yeah, of course" "Thanks". Just as I want to walk away again he says something: "It's better if you don't walk alone at this time of the day again..." "Yeah, I know, won't do it again" "Good, sleep well". "Thanks, you t-" what? He's gone again! Unbelievable, I'm getting tired of this. I sigh and don't really have the energy to walk further. I sit against a wall and close my eyes for a bit. "Hey gurl what ya doin' here at this time?"

~unknown p.o.v.~

I quickly run away from her and hide behind a tree. She's looking around for me and frowns, then she walks a little bit and sits against some dirty wall. Speaking of dirty, who on earth is that filthy guy who's speaking to her? Looks like someone you don't want to meet at this time of the night. She opens her eyes and says something back, the man walks closer to her and she quickly stands up. Uh oh, that's not a good sign. He tries to grab her, but believe me or not, he's being pulled back. By who you possibly want to know, well I have no idea, 'cause there was nobody behind him... I can't believe my eyes at the moment, there must have been someone right? The girl (which name I still don't know, should have asked that) looks as dumbfounded as me. The filthy man was being pulled in an alley by 'something'. She stares for a while and decides to run home, good choice I must say.

~Sarah's p.o.v.~

What the fuck was that?! That man was just pulled back out of nowhere. I'm grateful though, didn't want that creep taking me with him. As fast as I can I run home, luckily without being stopped by a mysterious man. I open the door and walk straight to the couch, I let myself fall and give a deep sigh. London is getting crazier by the day. This shit is nervewracking and I'm tired of it. I try to sleep, but it won't come so I walk to the kitchen to drink some water. When I try to get a glass I freeze and take steps back until I feel the wall. There it stands, the exact same words and the same sign as in my nightmare... I want to scream, but I'm still in shock. My hands begin to tremble and I walk to the wall where it stands and touch the red fluid that's dripping down. Blood, it's freakin' blood! I dash to the tap and immediately wash my hands. If you really want to know what the words are: 'The time ticks by, every second closer to your destiny. Every road ends at some time, be sure that you decide which road you take before I do...' Underneath those horrifying words stands a weird sign, I can't figure out what it means. An idea pops in my head and I make a picture of it to investigate it later. I do have to clean it up though. After a lot of time it's finally gone and to be sure nothing else happened I check on Jenny, Qwies and Isa. I tip toe to each room and let out a breath of relief when I see they are safe. Back in my room I almost immediately fall asleep and this time with an almost too calm dream.

~next morning~

"Hey Sarah, finally out of bed?" Isa jokingly asks. "Yeah sort of" I yawn and sit down on one of the chairs. "The weather got better again, we should go out and buy some refreshing ice cream". At that idea I feel a little more awaken and happily agree. I grab my phone out of the charger and look at the picture from last night, that sign, I have the feeling I saw it before... think Sarah think! "I know it!" Oops I said it out loud. "What are you talking about?" Qwies asks. "Oh..uhm..I figured out which flavour of ice cream I want". Phew that was close. The sign was the same as the sign on the jacket of that mystery man! I try to connect the dots and come to the conclusion that he is the one creeping on me all along. If I only remembered where he lives..

~one hour later~

After we bought some ice cream we went shopping. It helped getting my mind of everything that has been happening. Me being unfocused wasn't totally something good, because I didn't see someone following us all along... As we walk through the streets something catches my eye, this building looks familiar. Oh my fudge! It's the house of that guy I was searching for! "Uhm, I think I forgot to buy something at the mall" I say. "Oh well if you go back now we'll start making dinner for tonight" Jenny says. "That's alright, I'll be back on time". "Ok, see ya later" they say. "Bye". I didn't want to lie to them, but I have no choice. This is my chance to talk to that guy and maybe look around in his house! I wait until the girls disappear around the corner and knock on the door. Nobody answers, but then I feel a presence behind me. "Look who we've got here" I slowly turn around and say: "I saw this was your house and wanted to drop by". "That's alright, come on in". He opens the door and we walk inside. We sit on the couch and do some small talk while drinking tea. I look around the living room and I get an idea, this is my chance to search for the sign. "Not to be rude, but could I get some more tea, please?" I ask. "Of course you can, I'll be right back". When he disappears in the kitchen I jump up and quickly search through the living room. My eyes land on an envelop which has a red stamp on it. I open it and inside I find a neatly written letter in a handwriting which is oddly familiar. But that's not the only thing, there are also a lot of pictures... of me and the girls....
I am so in thought I don't see the man coming back and angry walking over to me. "Wrong move, you shouldn't look at private stuff". After that I can't really process what's happening, the only thing I see before everything goes black is a gun and his sickening smile...

Wow, how would this continue?.. You'll read it in the next chapter so stay tuned.

Stay strong, stay beautiful
