My Crazy Ex-Boyfriend

Chapter 6

-Edited-

-Nicholas' P.O.V-

I gaped at the now empty room, how did she escape ? I felt a breeze in the room and looked up, the window was wide open.

Damn it, I knew I should have tied her up..

How did I not see this coming ? I knew from the beginning that Melanie was a fire cracker ! Anyone tried telling her what to do she rebelled.

I had to find her before the cops or someone else did. If that happened I'd be screwed.

My Dad couldn't know what i was up to. He would never understand what I'm trying to do. 

********

I run through the brush and vines, not stopping for even a second. I knew if  I stopped, I'd run the risk of him finding me.

I couldn't let that happen, not now. Not ever. Thunder rumbling in the distance made me jump. More movie metaphors were coming i see !

Great, this is how all horror movies sounded before the killer made an appearance. I couldn't let myself be a victim any longer !

Rain starts pelting the ground soaking me in seconds. I rush to find shelter under the sparse trees.

I started running, just wanting to find someone who'd call the cops for me and then it be over.

Every sound makes me jump, thinking the next noise could be my crazy ex. I scream as I slid down a muddy incline.

Great, now I was wet and covered in mud ! I look further down and can see a dim light through the trees. A house ? A store ?

Whatever it was I was running towards, I had to get there and hope that someone followed that light. I start running again, ignoring my screaming lungs. I couldn't give up when I was so close !

I collapsed on the ground as I reached the light, it was a high way street lamp. I wait for my heart beat to return to normal before moving.

There was a sign for a gas station not far, there had to be someone there ! Then I started down the road, hoping I could make it that longer.

After what seemed like hours to my tired body, I see the gas station.  Yes I'm safe ! I rushed inside and immediately knew something was off..

The store was pitch black but yet the door was open. It wasn't abandoned, it had full stock of merchandise..

I honestly felt like the universe was playing a cruel joke on me..

"Hello ?"I ask."Is anybody here ?"

I slowly made my way to the checkout, hoping maybe the tenant was just hunched over and didn't hear me.

"Hello ?"I said again, gasping at the sight behind the counter.

There was the tenant, lying on the floor in a pool of blood around his head.. I began to back up, backing into another person. I froze.

"Found you Princess."

Oh no...no....no he can't be here..I cried out as he put his hands around my neck, shoving me against a shelf. Flash backs of when he choked me before came into mind.

"Did you really think you could escape me ?" Nicholas demanded, his grip getting tighter.

I didn't say anything, he was not gonna get to me !

"You made a terrible mistake and because of you, that man had to die !" He rasped.

My breath caught in my throat, he killed that man ? Oh god !!, I really am in the hands of a psycho!

"YOU'RE sick ! You need help !" I shouted and he threw me to the ground. I cried out when he started kicking my side.

" I'm sick ? I'm sick ? You have no idea ."Nicholas said in a low voice.

I screamed when he pulled me off the ground and threw me over his shoulder. 

"You're in for a rude awakening when we get back !"He spat, I begged him not to do whatever he planned on doing to me but it was no use.

The next thing I know I'm being shoved inside the trunk of his car and then darkness.
