"I heard you lived with some rich teacher but wow, I wasn't expecting this," The man in front of me says smirking. My mouth stayed open.
He found me. My killer father found me. I try to close the door but he puts an arm on the door and pushes on it. I fall backwards to the floor and he walks in.
"Bitch put me in jail and got all this," he mutters loud enough for me to hear.
"He left you alone? He's a great father, but you know I was the best father. I got rid of the one thing that you loved most. Your mother. Now you have no weaknesses," he says smiling and kneeling down to touch my face.
Just before his fingers reached my face, I moved my face. He chuckles and gets back on his two feet.
"Well, I'll let you be for now. But don't you fret daughter, I'll be back," he says turning his frame towards the door and walking out.
I wake up with a jolt. I get out of bed and open the door leading me into the hallway. I walk to the living room and check on the locks. Locks, check. I walk over to the windows and see one of them slightly open. I put all my weight on the top of the window seal and it moves down closing it shut and locking it on the top. I walk back to the hallway and to Alaric's room. I open the room slightly and walk in trying not to make noise.
Matt did tell Alaric about my father paying me a visit here and Alaric made sure everything was locked in the whole house. I just want to double check.
Wait, why was the window open then? I walk out of Alaric's room and into the closet right outside of it. I grab a gun out of there and walk around the house. The kitchen, the living room, everything was fine. I guess he just forgot to check that window.
I go back to the closet and put the gun down. I walk into my room and lay down and close my eyes. I hear a creak in the floor boards of my room and I look to where the noise was coming and a figure is standing there. Before the figure could get to me I get off of my bed and scream.
