* Prologue *
It was 3 AM and it was pouring rain. I felt like I was being watched. Who could it be? I was home alone. I'm not gonna lie. I was kind of scared. Somebody was watching me! What could that mean? There's somebody here and i'm not just a crazy 12 year old that's hearing things after watching several horror movies. Mom was at the hospital working a late shift and grandma had fallen asleep.I tried to not panic. So what did I do? I turned on the TV to ignore all these noises that I was hearing.
I sat on the sofa watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, waiting on my cup noodles that were in the microwave. I heard someone knocking. I gasped. " Be brave Jazmin. Be brave." I told myself. I got up and checked to see if someone was at the door. Nobody was there. Suddenly, something popped up in the door's peephole. A tall man with an eyepatch that had blood dripping down his mouth. I guess he had gotten into a fight.
" Open up! " the man shouted.
What the heck is this man doing over here at this time? I just made pretend that there was no one home.
" I know you're in there. " he then said.
He started shaking the knob. " HELP! Please. Let me stay in here. I'll be gone in two hours, just let me hide in here. They're looking for me!" the man cried.
I didn't know what to do. Honestly, I felt like giving the poor man a chance. And so I did. But I acted like I had just woken up and didn't hear half of the things he said. I opened the door.
"Hey jackass, not everybody likes waking up to a man knocking on their door. What do you want?"
" I'm so sorry to bother you and your family at this time but they're looking for me." he said. I rolled my eyes and let him in. He slept in the guest room and just like he said, he left in 2 hours.
I found him kind of strange. I wondered who he was hiding from. Once he left, or so I thought I went into the guest room. What did I find? Condoms. Now I was really getting afraid. Did he come to this house to have sex with someone? Why did he have condoms? I knew they were condoms because I remember the teachers showed us one in health class. Why the hell did this man come to this house at 3 AM with condoms?
As I was leaving the room something suddenly grabbed my arm and pushed me to the bed. Guess who? The freaking guy that slept here. " Let me go!" I shrieked. He gagged me and told me to relax. I tried to not freak out. I knew from the moment he walked into this door, he was deranged. At that moment, I was paralyzed and couldn't do anything. I couldn't fight back. I couldn't feel anything. I felt like kicking his nuts so hard but I couldn't. I was trapped. You know that feeling when you want to do something but you can't do anything about it? Yeah. That's how I was feeling.
I hope you all enjoyed and if you would like me to continue, comment below and let me know. Give me your feedback and have a great day! :) *Leslie Ortiz*
