When Midnight Breaks

Chapter 5 - Meetings

Beep!! Beep!! Beep!!

I woke up to my alarm going off, I looked towards the windows and it was still dark out, so I checked my phone it was only 3 am, I thought I really need to change this clock, after all who keeps a clock for two years.

I was still quite exhausted from the past days' events, I was about to shut my eyes again and wander back to the land of fairies but then '"Ping!! Ping!! Ping !!'', I yelled outlook "For the love fudge, who the hell has time to message me now''. 'This better be important'', I unlocked my phone and oh well guess what the cat dragged in, it was him again, Mr. Anonymous. Don't get me wrong I'm quite scared of him yet it's becoming quite irritating how he messages me.

''Hello princess, how are you?''

I replied "How am I!!! How am I!!, of all the times you see to text me NOW, when all I want to do is SLEEP''

Almost instantaneous he replied " Well I was concerned about you love, I didn't like yesterday events''

Alright now he was playing coy, this irritated me to the max, "Aright Mr. Stalker Guy or whoever you are, I have questions and I want answers, if you are so concerned about me come clean''

He replied after a few minutes, which seemed like an eternity "Princess I would love to answer your questions but wouldn't you rather we talk in person"

I was taken aback, and as frightened as I was, I figured I can't let this nonsense go on forever. I must put an end to it. "This afternoon at 4pm @ the Myer Café" I felt relieve after I sent that, I knew the Myer café is the safest place to be in town since it will be bustling with customers around 4.

Mr Anonymous replied "My Love, I cannot wait that long, I want to meet you now. Come look outside your window"

My heart and all the courage I managed to salvage just sank like titanic, he was outside. No this is not happening, I'm not prepared. For five minutes I froze under my sheets with my mind doing 180 mph on the freeway.

Another text came from him "Love its quite cold out here, wouldn't you invite me inside or should I invite myself in, I promise I won't bite unless you want me to"

"Oh fruitcake" I mumbled as I jumped out of bed and ran to my closet for my aluminium baseball bat. I slowly inched my way towards the windows. I slowly raked the curtains to peek out at first glance I saw no one, relieve washed over my scared to death soul. There's no one here, I thought to myself he's a bluff. I never felt so happy yet.

Whoosh!! a strong cold wind blew pass me nearly knocking me over, "WTF" I muttered, a sense of eeriness and dread washed over my body. I knew something wasn't right. I felt a presence behind me. I froze, too terrified to turn around away from the windows, then without warning a soft whisper shook my world "My love", soft and gentle yet haunting and bold. Now I knew I had to call for help but my voice was stuck, my body stood numb. I heard footsteps drawing closer to me, yet it was as if I was helpless.

The footsteps stopped directly behind me and all I heard was "Finally My love, I missed you", then I felt a cold hand made its way around my waist as a body was slowly being pressed against my back.

My mind went blank, I knew this touch it felt so familiar yet so distant and terrifying. With those thoughts everything went blank, I felt my body fall, hoping to land on a hard floor, I was caught moments before I lost consciousness. The last words I heard were "Sera, Love, are you alright, fight it, I'm here I will keep you safe".
