It has been a week, since he showed up on my doorstep. Will would drive me to work as he was afraid of leaving me alone. On the outside, I pretended that nothing is going on but on the inside, I am terrified that he would find me and hurt me again, or probably something even worse.
I was working when Susan asked me to get her the paperwork from the post office, here we have to get our own delivery at the post office.
I decided to walk and the post office was just a walking distance. As soon as I came out of the office, I feel like someone is folowing me. I ignored thinking that it was just one of the residence in town talking a stroll.
When I was nearing the post office, someone grabbed me by the arm and I shrieked, "Let me go!"
"Tamara, we are going home!" he said while I was thinking of every possible scenario to escape.
I tried to run away, but his grip on my arm was so strong. Before I tried to do anything more, he covered my face with a cloth containing sleeping gas, making me unconcious.
When I woke up, I found myself tied on a chair. I looked around me, and I noticed that I'm in my bedroom, Will and I's house.
I heard two people arguing and after a minute, they came inside the room. Will and dad came inside. Will look at me in concern, seeing me tied up on a chair.
"Let her go, Jeremiah!"
"Why should I? She's my daughter, my flesh and blood. I can do whatever I want with her!" he stated.
"She's my wife! I promised myself to keep her safe. But look at her now," he let out a single tear.
"No Will. Don't cry! You did keep your promise!" I said.
"As much as I want to see this, well not really, I want to make this end, once and for all." He paused. "You killed my wife, and now I am going to kill yours!" he looked at William.
"No!" Will pleaded while I sobbed.
He pulled out a knife from his pocket and pointed it towards my direction. "Please dad, you dont need to do this!"
"No, I have to."
As he stepped forward, I heard sirens. The police? Colour drained out of his face and he looked at Will, "You called them? I am going to kill you!"
Before any of us could react, he stabbed Will in his left kidney.
I screamed "NOOOOO!!!"
At that moment, the police came inside the room. They grabbed dad and handcuffed him.
One of the police released me and I ran towards Will, "Will, please don't leave me!" I cried.
"I'm not going anywhere." and he passed out.
