Draco should have listened to Pansy, he really should have. She told him to come home early, but he never listened, he always stayed late at work, he was a complete idiot. Draco felt the shivers running across his spine, it wasn't that cold, but he was trembling for another reason. The street was empty, the streetlights were shining above him, the cold wind hitting his face, Draco clutched on his phone and dialled a familiar number that he hoped to hear an answer from, it was his last chance when his phone only has one percent of battery left.

"Hi, you've reached Hermione and Pansy, we are busy at the moment, it means we have a life. Please leave a message after the beep – Beep!" Draco groaned mentally when he heard their answering machine. He couldn't reach either of them on their mobile phones so he called their home phone, they were on their usual Friday date night, of course, so they wouldn't answer their phone until the next morning. He had sent her a text saying 'Call me when you see this, I'm in danger' but he doubted she would see the text any time soon, and if she did, she won't be able to call him now that his phone would run out of battery in a few minutes.

"No!" Draco gasped when his phone died, the screen went black and he clutched it tightly, Draco was scared. For the first time in life, he was scared, his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

He was being followed.

He has noticed that ten minutes ago, he was walking home from his work as usual when he realised there was a man following him, he could feel it, the hungry eyes on him, it was just a matter of time before the man attacked him. Pansy has scolded him many times, bring a pepper spray or at least a taser, she had said, since he always walk home by himself alone late at night. She had warned him, Draco realised he should have listened to her, he should have known better.

"Hey, where are you, darling?" He brought his dead phone up to his ear shakily and pretended to talk to someone loudly, hoping it would scare away the creep "Yeah? You're on the way? How soon?" He said to no one at all "You're close by? Okay, see you halfway" He put the phone down, but he could still feel the creep's footsteps following him, the streetlight helped him see the shadow of the man behind him when he looked to the side a little. Draco took a shaky breath, he looked at the starry sky and hoped for the best, he hoped someone would come and save him right now.

This was it, Draco was so scared, he felt tears forming around the rim of his eyes, the man behind could be a creep, a thief, a rapist, or a killer, none of those sounded good. Draco feared for his life, he's young, he has so many things to accomplish, he didn't want to be in this situation. It has been another five minutes, he wondered why this man hasn't made a move yet, but it was better than the man attacking him now. Draco rustled through his bag, trying to find at least something to fight when the creep attacked him. Notebooks? Draco shook his head and kept looking and groaned when he couldn't find his pen, he must have forgotten it at his workplace, he forgot the only thing he could use against the creep. Wallet, credit cards, cash, Draco couldn't find a single thing to defend himself and there was still a long way back home.

"Keys" Draco whispered quietly and looked into the bag but balled his hands into fists when he remembered that Ginny came by today at his workplace to borrow his keys, so she could drop by and borrow his cappuccino machine. The worst part was, he told her she didn't need to bring his keys back since he has a spare one underneath the plant in front of his house, which was another stupid mistake he made because that was definitely a horrible place to put a spare key in.
