Monster: Sequel To "Relax..."

7: Silky Voice

I slowly enter the house, lifting the flashlight in my hand to scan the area. The entrance is huge and grand, the marble floor looking as though it just got mopped. Now that I'm seeing this, the entire inside of this house looks as if it just got cleaned.

I take pictures in awe, wondering how this house could be in such good shape on the inside, but the complete opposite on the outside.  My feet find themselves walking up the stairs, walking down a hall and stopping in front of a door. I slowly push open the door, stepping inside.

I smile as I see this was the room of a girl.

I walk over to her huge window, looking out and seeing a large building in the distance. I frown slightly, not remembering seeing that on the map. I walk over to the light switch and flip it on, frowning in surprise as it turns on. I walk to the bathroom, surprised again as it seems my hand already knew where the light switch was.

After looking around, I turn off the lights and close the doors to both the bathroom and the bedroom, walking back downstairs. I walk to an extravagant kitchen, seeing a pile of dishes in the sink. My eyes widen, as I freeze. Slowly, I reach my hand out, running a finger over a dish. My other hand slams against my mouth as I gasp.

The dish is wet.

I look around frantically for any sign of anyone, but the whole place is dark, with the exception of my flashlight. I click it off, letting darkness settle over me. I tighten my grip when I hear footsteps. I slowly turn and tip toe out the room, taking a left and opening a door before climbing in and closing the door.

I feel around my surroundings. I feel cloth under my fingers, realizing I'm in a closet. But how did I know the door was there, in the dark? I hear the footsteps get closer and hold my breath, feeling fear clench my chest. The footsteps stop outside the closet, making me sink silently further into the closet. The door knob twists, but then a voice stops it.

" Someone was up in her room!" The voice is deep and sounds like silk against my ears, and I strain to listen for anything. " It was her, she came back," the voice outside the door sounding just a bit higher. " Does Kai know?" Kai? Sounds so familiar... " Thankfully no, not yet. He wasn't with us at the diner, but he'll know soon," the silky voice says.

" Her car is still at the beginning of town, so she hasn't left yet," the voice outside the door says, walking towards the stairs on the left. My blood goes cold once I realize they're talking about me. Who are these people, and were they following me?! " Well that doesn't really help much, there's too many places where she could be," silky voice says, a hint of annoyance in his voice.

" No, she's somewhere in here, I heard her earlier, I just can't hear her anymore," he says, and I feel my heart drop. He knows I'm in the house still. " Well, let's find her," silky voice says, and they both go back upstairs. I wait a minute, before slowly opening the door and tip toeing out the closet. I silently close the door, turning and walking towards the kitchen. There's a back door that leads to a garden, where I can hop the fence and run into the woods about a mile, before I would come out into the town I walked through.

Wait, how the hell do I know that?! I didn't even look around to see a back door, let alone a garden!

I look around the corner before my eyes become the size of saucers, quickly pressing my body against the wall. I slowly look around the corner a bit, before retracting against the wall again, my head dropping into my hands.

There are at least four guys sitting around the counter, casually talking. Now I see the backdoor, but it's behind them. My only chance is the front door...

I slowly walk away from the kitchen, looking around for anyone. I make it to the entrance room without a problem, looking over my shoulder towards the kitchen. I can still see them at the counter, talking to each other. I walk to the front door and grasp the knob, quietly opening it.

But before I get the door opened wide enough for my body to slip through, a loud ringing echos through the house. My heart drops out of my ass as I scramble to turn off my phone. The conversation in the kitchen has ceased, and without even looking, I know they're confused, and about to come investigate.

And when they do, I make sure they're greeted by a wide open door, and dust flying like birds as I take off running down the road as fast as possible.

I frantically call Jackson as I run, not risking a glance behind me at my pursuers, that I can clearly hear shouting. I cry as Jackson doesn't pick up, quickly redialing. " Jagiya?" He finally answers, giggling. " Jackson please call the police, there are people here and I think they want to kidnap me or something, please just help me," I sob.

" Oh my god, Moon!" Jackson yells, running around somewhere, where I can hear him calling the police. " Moon where are you?" Jackson asks. I feel my body slowing down from going at a straight sprint for so long. " I-, I..." I cough pathetically, hearing my pursuers getting closer. 

" I love you Jackson," I cry, hanging up just as my phone is snatched from my hand. The man looks at my phone, smirking as he throws it to the ground, crushing it under his foot. " What do you want?" I ask, tears streaming down my face. He smirks, grabbing me and forcing me to my feet. His silky voice taunts me.

" Why, I want you Moon."
