The Mystery Letters

Chapter 12

The world froze around me. I found it difficult to breathe. Surely he climbed up my apartment building and landed on my window, but that was a different case. I was at home at that time, and now I'm in the middle of nowhere.

I took a step back and immediately thought it to be a wrong move, as I was met with a wall.

Stupid, stupid Hannah. How can you be so dumb that you choose to walk when you know there's always a creepy stalker behind you!

M's scary eyes stared at me, and it looked like I would faint anytime now.

No, Hannah. You are a brave girl. You will escape.

But how in world could I escape? I was trapped.

But escaping isn't a brave thing to do.

I saw some space beside M. I didn't keep staring at it like a normal person would, and let M get the idea of me running away.

There were two options: one being I can be a coward and escape and the second option that I can be courageous and confront him about Hailey.

I did what I thought what was best.

"What do you want from me?" I snapped at him, to which he didn't reply anything.

I became irritated at this and said, "You killed Hailey. Fine, bravo, you got what you wanted. My life was made into hell, and when I thought I found my heaven, you're here. Now what? You want to kill me too? Go ahead. It's the perfect time now."

He still didn't reply anything. Then he just glared at me and said, "Watch your mouth rat. You will know with time."

You will know with time? So that means I have to be in a pit of questions all the time? What does he think I am, a piece of tissue paper with whom he can play with?

I glared at him my very famous dangerous glare, which once made John cry and hide behind Sherry, which made Lily shut up for almost two days and which didn't affect Alice at all.

Well, Alice, after all, doesn't care about anything.

I thought it to be a perfect moment to escape since he wasn't giving an appropriate answer to any of my questions, and then ran away from the space beside him.

I ran all the way down the narrow alley and then took a turn to Lily's house. It's better to take a safer and long route sometimes.

I want to kill M, probably in the most deadliest ways, or perhaps lodge a complaint to the police against him, but I don't know what he wants. If he says that he doesn't want to kill me, and is just simply wandering in my life, then even I would have no proof to convince.

Yeah, I can still show the letters and make M be put behind bars for Hailey's murder, then I would never know the reason he killed Hailey and the reason he came back in my life. And also, Macy seems to be connected in a way to him, and that's a mystery too.

Why is he wasting my time like this? If he didn't want to kill me or didn't want to answer my question, why does he take the pain of following me?

Looks like you aren't the only one stupid, Hannah. M has joined the category too. The dangerous kind of stupid category.

I walked and walked with these thoughts in my head until I reached Lily's house. I'll make sure I take a taxi next time. It's time I cut down my level of stupidity.

Once I reached, I made sure I looked perfectly fine and no one could guess that something happened to me right now. On the day where my mood was so good, I had to be angry and sad again.
