The Face Book Killer - Prologue

Prologue.

Donna Louise knew she was in trouble. She caught her breath and waited. She had been hiding in the ladies room for a good fifteen minutes by this time, ignoring the buzz of her Facebook Messenger on her iPhone5. It would be him wondering what was taking so long. She could hear the Jazz band beginning it's next set. Why had she agreed to this? He had seemed so friendly and harmless on Facebook. God! Leanne had told her never to accept requests from people she didn't know.

A group of girls on a bachelorette night came giggling into the bathroom and at once took in her stricken face. Two of them headed for the stalls, the girl whom she presumed to be the bride as she was wearing a fluffy pink veil in her hair, stood next to her at the sink, fixing her lipstick.

"Are you okay?" She asked Donna.

Donna managed to smile nervously, "I, ah, no!" Donna laughed with no real humour. "I'm having the first date from hell, my date is kind of creeping me out and now I'm too scared to leave the bathroom."

The girl looked at her with sympathy, "Oh, I've had a few of those myself, we're about to leave, you can slip out with us if you like!"

Donna smiled gratefully at this girl who didn't know her from a bar of soap, being so kind in the true spirit of sisterhood.

Donna sighed in relief, "That would be great thank you!"

"No problem, as a matter of fact......" The girl stood sizing Donna up.

Five minutes later Donna emerged from the bathroom flanked by her new friends, the bride was Cindy James and her besties Shonna Duclaire and Lucy Hale. Cindy had taken off her funny veil and the pink feather boa from around her neck and draped them over Donna. Then she and the girls had told her to act drunk and they would help her to the door.

Donna hung her head and dragged her feet, and tried to laugh with the girls as they strode through Big Sam's Jazz Club, and out the door.

They kept up the charade until they got to Donna's car. "Here you go Hun." Cindy said, relieving Donna of the veil and boa. Donna glanced around, they were the only ones here.

"Will you be okay now?" Asked Lucy.

Donna scanned the car park, yes, definitely deserted. "I can't thank you girls enough, he was really scaring me. Kept talking about the serial killer pages on Facebook and had I seen them?"

"Eww! Girl you well shot o that one!" Said Shonna clicking her fingers in the air.

Donna laughed, "Yes m'am!"

"Well you have my number, let us know you get home okay? Okay? Maybe we can grab a coffee next week before I get married. Shoot! Come to the wedding if you like, I'll text you the deets!" Cindy said brightly, and gave Donna a hug, each of the girl's did. She felt better now. She was away from Captain Creepy and she had made some new friends.

"Will do, and thank you all so much!" Donna said hugging them back.

She climbed into her red Toyata Corolla and drove out of the car park, the girls watching until she turned the corner.

They were about to head back inside when Lucy thought better of it. "Guys, if her date is still in there and he sees only three of us come back, he might get suspicious. Let's just go home, brew some coffee and chick flick it."

The others agreed and climbed into their car and left.

**************************************

Donna Louise lived the next two weeks in peace. As soon as she got home that night she went straight to her iPad and blocked and deleted Captain Creepy as a friend, locked the doors and went to bed with her baseball bat.

Apparently he had gotten the message, and for the next two weeks Donna lived in bliss, she met her saviours from that night for lunch a couple of times, and even attended Cindy's wedding. Where she met Cindy's brother James, a very nice guy indeed.

It was that night as she came through her front door and turned towards her living room, she noticed her iPad sitting up in it's holder, it's screen shining brightly in the dark. She hadn't left it like that had she?

The screen went dark then lit up again, a Facebook Messenger notification flashing on the screen.

"Thought you got away from me didn't you?"

Oh my God! Thought Donna panicking, he's back. She turned to bolt back out the door when something hard connected with the back of her head. Her vision swam and she hit the tiled foyer, hard. She saw stars and then through her blurred vision a white face with dark hair appeared above her.

"You shouldn't leave without saying goodbye, it's rude!"

Donna knew she'd had it, it was Captain Creepy. Somehow he had found her address and now was going to make her pay for sneaking away that night.

And pay she did, for hours on end, until the sight of the humongous butcher knife arching towards her face was almost welcome.
