Red like roses (Sexual Offenderman Fanfiction)

Chapter 3 - First attack

Amy had trouble waking up, but when she finally forced her eyes open she sat up to stop herself from falling asleep again. She was a heavy sleeper and since there was no alarm waking her up on a Sunday morning, she was allowed to sleep a little longer than usual. But after having a bad night she no longer wanted to stay in bed and decided to wake up, grunting tiredly. The red head scratched herself, looking around the room. She admired how the wall next to her bed looked like when it was covered in drawings and pictures of old memories she didn't want to forget. The brown wooden shelf on the other side of the room stood quietly, full of old books, comics and dirty art supplies that needed to be replaced for newer ones. Next to the shelf her white large table took care of her laptop and her other belongings that were easy to grasp on when needed. Amy was glad to wake up in her room again and for a moment it all seemed like everything was normal, until she noticed that something was a little different. She almost jumped when her eyes came across a man who was sitting on her chair, just looking at her.

"Morning", came a simple greeting from Offender, a wide smirk growing in his face. Amy pulled her soft pink covers closer to her, trying to hide behind them as she felt a bit irritated that none of the recent events were a dream. 

"What - what are you doing here?" the girl mumbled out, still being a bit asleep as her voice was a little sore. Dealing with monsters at a time like this didn't really suit her and Amy rubbed her eyes, hoping that the man would disappear from her room when she looked back at his direction.

"Watching you", came as an answer, making the human look at the monster with confused feelings. One part of her wanted to understand the joke - if it even was a joke - and laugh along with it, the other part wanted to just kick the man in his balls. Offender's laughter could be heard as he moved up from the chair, walking towards the bed slowly as to tease the human.

"I just came to check to see if you're still alive", he explained himself and sat down on the edge of the bed, too close for the humans liking. Amy just glared at him, thinking of any reasons why the man was really here.

"How did your parents react yesterday?" the man asked to start a conversation. Amy bit her lip a little, remembering how her parents had kept a lecture for her for being so irresponsible. They had called the cops and were first about to give her some house arrest for a few weeks, but they had later given up and were just glad their daughter was alright.

"First pissed off as hell, then just happy I was okay", Amy said quickly, pulling her feet towards her chest and hugging them tightly, folding herself into a ball. She didn't really feel like talking after she had woken up and her hand kept going to her head, playing with her messy hair over and over again. Offender looked at her, giving a small hum before asking : "What was your excuse for being gone for so long?"

"I told them I ran away because I needed to sort things out a little. They know how fucked up I am, so they believed that my little road trip was just good for my mental health", she explained, avoiding eye contact with the tall monster.

"Fucked up ?" he quoted her words, looking a little confused. When no answer or explanation came out, Offender decided to not force the human to talk after taking a quick look at her arms.

"It's alright, no need to tell me everything. We're still strangers", he said. "But not for long", Offender continued, his voice making a strange feeling grow on the girl's chest. His close presence made her feel uncomfortable yet weirdly warm. Amy was glad that the monster wasn't like the others who kept asking questions when she clearly didn't feel like answering them. Another silence came in between the two of them and Offender coughed out a little as to keep himself restrained and not to fall from the subject they had to talk about.

"Right. So, me and my brothers talked a little and we all agreed that we keep watching you for a while. You know, to make sure you're ... safe", he told the human. She wondered if by "safe" they meant if she was safe from whoever wanted to hurt her or if the slenders were safe from her.
