Tangled in Love

Chapter 57: Life or Death?

"Mayaan...

I'm coming for you",

He whispered in the empty dark room while searching behind the thick velvet curtains.

I closed my eyes and clamped my hand over my mouth to stop myself from screaming;

CLICK

CLACK

CLICK

CLACK

CLICK

The sound of his footsteps getting closer to the bed increased my pulse rate with fear and I felt I might faint. He walked around the bed slowly but then suddenly he stopped;

"Oh come on darling,

come out,

don't you think to make someone wait for you is wrong?

Hmmm..."

He said bitterly and walked in the closet room.

I took that as an opportunity and came out from under the bed and rushed towards the door but someone grasped my hair and pulled me back painfully. I looked at the person;

The Clown mask Guy

Screeeaaaammm

A scream escaped from my lips in terror as he brought his clown-masked face close to me and the raised the sharp knife;

"Finally I shall fulfill my promise to my love by killing you"

He said venomously and then he holds my wrist and with a glimpse, he rips my hand and I scream out in pain;

Scccrrreeaaammmm

With a scream, I opened my eyes and found myself in a bed.

My face was covered with cold sweat beads and I was gasping for air. I looked around my surroundings then the realization hits me that I was in my bedroom;

It was a nightmare,

the places in my nightmares have changed but the man with the clown mask with the same sharp knife never stops coming,

It's like he is haunting me and it won't be wrong to say that I feel his presence everywhere I go,

I feel like a shadow is following me always,

Why are you doing this to me?

what have I done to you?

I cried out bringing my knees close to my chest and fold my arms around them;

Now he's not even part of my life"

I whimpered and covered my face with my hands;

"He is gone from my life and it seems like..."

A sob escaped lips and tears burst through my eyes like I have been holding them;

"... forever!"

I said and cried having no control over my emotions while my heart aches in pain.

"Good morning, Miss. Mayaan"

Sophia greeted with a pleasant smile as I got seated on the chair at the dining table;

"Good morning Sophia"

I said with a small smile. She placed the cup of black coffee and sandwich in front of me and left. I quietly began to have my breakfast while looking out at the window, it was heavily snowing outside just like that day when it was my birthday and that day I saw him after five long years but I doubt it because I am scared that I might have imagined him standing out there looking at me;
