"Dad, is that you?" I asked. The figure's voice, size and height matched my father's, even though I haven't even seen him for 3 years, i still remembered every detail of him.
I remembered the last day I saw him when he told me in a sad tone, "Ill always be with you. But me and your mother need some space right now." And he proceeded to walk off on me.
I was so angry with my mother that day. I didn't speak to anyone but as the time passed, I got better even without my father in my life.

I broke down in tears. Fearing for my life once again. Without a clue who he is or where I am. I screamed "Who are you?" He immediately grabbed my by my right hand and pulled me up to his level. He looked at me straight in my eyes, his face still covered, and he threw me back on the floor without mercy.
Tears flooded my eyes. He exited the room leaving me lifeless on the ground. I took that as a chance to look around and find out everything. I wasn't looking forward to the truth.
Surrounding me, was tables with papers scattered everywhere. On one of the tables, I looked closer and found a folder with my name on it. Even though I was hesitating to look through it, I picked it up and started to read every page.
What I saw shattered me. I was sweating profusely. It had every, single detail about me and my family, down to my favourite colour to my full name. The pages went on and on and went more in depth. I realized that i'ved been stalked my whole life since I was three years old to my previous age.
While looking through, I saw a folder with my dad's name on it. I lifted it up and opened it slowly. Reading along the pages, I discovered things I didnt know about him. My father was not who I perceived him to be. He wasn't the kind, innocent man I knew.
Shaking while reading every line, the door slammed open. "Put...put that down" the man quietly said. I dropped everything in my hands in fear. He walked into the light and his whole face was visible.
"Dad?" I said slowly while walking away from him. Every step I took back, he walked forward towards me. I was trapped. No where to run, no where to hide and nothing protecting me.
He looked at me with regret in his eyes and told me, "Sorry you had to find out this way, it's all your mother's fault." And he knocked me out before I got a chance to react...
