It's been a while since my nightmares came back. I used to have them often but not every night like the past 3 weeks, since they began. I'm currently at Krispy Kremes waiting for the line to move and a straight out of the oven donut.

Yup, the red hot-light was on. I just couldn't resist, plus the girls won't mind having a few dozen delicious donuts in our fridge.

I think.

Don't get me wrong, I've known the girls for most of my life, but from time to time they end up surprising you in ways you never thought.

I finally get to the front of the line and the nice lady in red serves me. Once I tell her my order, she goes to fill up a box of a dozen half and half and get 2 boxes of original glazed. After she comes back she puts my order into the machine, but every now and then looks behind me.

"That'll be $73 (I don't remember the actual price, just go along with it)" she said once again peeping behind me. I don't bother looking behind me. Just as I take my hand away from the eftpos machine, she places her hand on top of mine. I give her a confused look as she, for the millionth time looks behind me.

"Be careful, there's a man seated in the back who has been staring at you since you entered." She warns, I thank her for the donuts and warning before turning around, my eyes connect with another pair. They are oddly familiar but I can't remember where from. I realised that they belonged to a man, the man that has been staring me down. This can't be good. I turn my head at the lady again as she watches me. I nod confirming with her that I see him, and walk out the building. Luckily this donut factory doesn't have many windows. I walk to my car as fast but steadily as I could, I don't want to seem on edge.

After placing the Krispy Kreme boxes on the back seat I close the car door. I turn to see the man exit the building, he looked as if he was searching for something. His head turned in my direction. I ducked down before he could spot me. Still low to the ground I step carefully around my car to the drivers seat. I hear heavy foot steps coming in my direction instead of going in my car I stay ducked down and go around the back of my car. I see him walking and then all of a sudden he stops. Right. In. Front. Of. My. Car. I peep through my back windshield and front windshield to see him standing there. He knows I'm here.

"You are all grown up Kris, but that doesn't mean you have gotten rid of me completely. I will have you again." with that he left. I let go the breath I didn't even know I was holding and tried to relax my shoulders. Tried.

I know his voice from anywhere. It has been years yet I still remember it like it a was yesterday. The threats. The pain. The experiments. Even worse, the scent of death he carried around with him.

Once he gets in his car and drives away, I hurry into mine and drive home carefully not wanting to crash or get a speeding ticket.

I've been so preoccupied by that man I saw lately.

"Krissy, you've been spacing out a lot lately. What's on your mind?" Stella asked. I was sitting on the bleachers with Stella and Izzy.  "I'm so paranoid." I blurt out. Both girls gave me confused looks, I fidget on the seat. "The other day when I was getting donuts, there was a man." I started to explain.
"The lady who served me told me he had been looking at me ever since I entered, and not once looked away. When I turned around after paying I made eye contact with him. His eyes we so familiar I felt sick to the bone." I continued to tell them what happened and as I did they knew that everything had changed once again.

"What scares me the most though, is that, I swear he died..."

Sorry for the short chapter and the really slow updates. I've been busy and I kinda forgot to write.
