Too Late

Chapter 4

Once I got inside I kept getting flashes of the previous night. I crept around the motel while gliding my hand across the walls. I stopped at the familiar broken door. I walked inside and looked around. Getting more flashes of all the strange events that happened in this room.

My head started to hurt, so I sat on the sheet less mattress in the corner of the room and rubbed my temples. I leaned back and was now laying in a cloud of dust. I quickly sat up and fanned the dust away from my face and coughed.

I heard low chuckle of a laugh coming from inside the room.

"Who's there?" I called out sounding much less confident than I had wanted to be. I looked over in the corner of the room and saw those same red eyes, but this time it was almost a different shade of red.

The figure came out of the dark corner, the sun shone on his perfect face and I was hypnotized. His tall frame stalked over to my small one. He put his long finger under my chin to lift it up, then looked on either side of my neck. My heart was racing and beads of sweat were surely falling down my forehead.

He put his finger down and chuckled, which I could hear vibrating through out his chest. He turned to the side to look out the window across the room and said,

"do I frighten you?"

He turned back to me put this time his eyes were no longer red. They were the most wondrous shade if emerald green. I didn't realize I was staring at him until he repeated his question.

"What? Oh. Uh-"

I swallowed the lump in my throat and a man smiled and mumbled "thought so," more to himself than to me.

"What is your name?"

I asked taking a few steps back cautiously. He walked over close to me and I backed up. With every step forward he took, I took a step back. I had now run out of space and was cornered against a dusty wall.

His chest pressed up against mine and he leaned in to whisper in my ear.

"You will find out soon enough, Allison"

I looked up at him with confusion written all over my face, while he had a smirk plastered across his perfect face.

"How do you know my name?"

I asked my heart immediately stopping when he said my name.

"Oh Allison, I know more about you than you think I do."

I clenched my eyes closed hoping this was all a dream and then heard the man laugh. I opened my eyes and was gone.
