Finders Keepers

Preface

I was walking quickly away from the dark tall figure that lingered behind me. I was just walking past and he was in an apparent argument with some guy and that scared me, sad to say.

I didn't know if he was following me so i took 4 right turns and he was still there. His hooded figure and sagging jeans should've deflected his ability to walk as fast but his speed wasn't limited at all.

I didn't even know what i was doing in school at 8pm, long after everyone had gone. The schools light were automatically off but they switched on as they sensed my presence, not helping at all as he could easily trace me by following the lights.

I finally saw an emergency exit and decided to confide myself out there until i thought it was safe to go outside.

Looking at my XS max i saw the time was 20:24 and my curfew was ticking. Mama hated me staying out late anywhere, mind you Houston so I know the lady must be worried her ass off.

I decided to look up from my phone for a second to be faced with the hooded figure standing right in front of me. Shock stopped me from acting at all, I was just looking at a face I couldn't make out in the darkness.

"I'm not a beast you know." The rich voice cut the through the darkness and silence of the night-fallen outer pitch.

"Raya." The person tried again, but my body was not responding. I was in shock, because as far as the stereotype embedded in my head goes this might me the last minutes of my life.

"I ain't gon' kill you." He verified as if he were reading my mind. If he were reading my mind I cant escape this life or death situation. Rae think, think. What if i run. If i run there's a 35% chance of me escaping. I'm a shitty runner.

Why am I thinking my escape plan if he can read my thoughts? STOP THINKING RAE. STOP THINKING.

Ughhh, my mind was a mess.

"Umm, don't you need to get home." I returned to my senses to still see that black silhouette hanging over me like one type of mannequin.

"AAAAGGGHHHHHH." I screamed.

Yes, i screamed. I didn't know what tf to do.

I was going to die. He should suffer some hearing loss as i suffer the pain of death.

"Fuck you screaming for." He exclaimed slamming his palms over my mouth muffling my screams. I started biting him and using my hands to pry his off but it was no good. I was baffled the way his one palm was stronger than my arms and my teeth combined.

His other hand was placed behind my neck and he started pulling me off somewhere. That was when it was officially verified that Rae Mercedes Parker had died on December 2018, no specific place her body was found.

He pushed me into his car slamming the door before i could pull any of my stunts i had been practising at  Jujitsu. He started pulling up.

Well here goes my stepdads $100 per month for tuition fees gone.

"So you getting kidnapped and you aint gon' speak." He chuckles from the drivers seat. I could only see his eyes from the mirror, he was wearing a balaclava that managed to cover the rest of his face.

"I'm getting kidnapped." I whispered in fear more to myself. I let this unfatefull reality fall upon myself.

"Nahh B. Just playing with u. Where ur crib tho." He asks silently laughing. I was happy I wasn't getting kidnapped but i didn't want to tell him where i lived. Like this could be anyone.

"Stop me off at brockwell park." I muttered choosing a safer option. I could walk to my house quick from there and he wouldn't know where tf i lived.

"You think you're slick. But you do you. If you really get napped then it ain't on me." He smiled deviously from his balaclava. I didn't see a smile but the way the balaclava moved i knew this guy thought i was a joke.

We finally pulled up and he dropped me off at the park.

"I ain't coming school tomorrow, tell Miss Attendance that ye." He shouted at me before driving of leaving me in a big park at 9 pm now and dark skies with no stars because of pollution.

I started walking home carefully and mindfully, also thinking about what to say to my mom when i got back to my crib.

Look, he making me speak like him and we've only held 1 3 minute conversation.

I didn't even know who df he was, How was i meant to tell the teacher someone isn't here when i don't know there fucking name

anyways.

I don't need any of these druggies or night thugs jumping on me unaware so i decided to quicken my step.

I saw headlights pull up and a car was driving very slowly next to the footpath where i was walking. I became suspicious so i moved away from the road as far as i could that was not to deep in the park.

"You still here." The same guy who just dropped me off shouted from the window. Surprisingly, a flood of relief went over my heart. I mean better it's him than anyone.

"Get in won't you." He ordered. And i did.

I got in.
