Kill or Keep

Chapter 18- A Surprise Visit

Beatrice's POV:

I woke up to see that the time was 9:15 A.M. I got off of the couch and got ready for the day. As I got finished getting ready, I decided to head to the shed to practice playing the drums because there's a song I want to try. The song was called Voices by Motionless In White. (Author chan: I couldn't think of anything else and I was listening to the song.) I packed my drumsticks and earbuds into my backpack since I'm heading to the shed. Once I got done making sure that I had everything, I grabbed my bag and made my way out of my house. I walked out of my house and locked the door. I started to make my way to the shed. As I walked towards the shed, I felt someone staring at me, but I just ignored it because I'm used to it, so I just kept walking. Once I made it to the shed, I grabbed my drumsticks from my bag along with my earbuds and walked to the drumset. I plugged my earbuds into my phone and chose a song. I sat down on the seat and put on Voices. Once the song started playing, I started playing on the drums, making some mistakes but making sure to fix them and continued to play.

As I was playing the drums, the feeling of being watched didn't leave me. I'm starting to worry because what if there's someone there watching me from the shadows. "Ok Beatrice, calm down. Just start packing and get the hell out of there! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!" I was telling myself as I quickly packed my phone with earbuds and drumstick into my bag and started speed walking out of the shed. Once I walked out of the shed, the masked person was standing there, waiting outside. "You're a good drummer." The masked person complimented me. "Um... T-thank you." I replied nervously. "Come take a walk with me." The masked person said as he grabbed my hand and started walking away with me, following him.

As we're walking, it was a silent walk. None of us were talking. Until the masked person then asked, "How have you been Bea?" I looked at the masked man and said, "I've been good. How have you been?" the masked man looked at me and said, "I've been good. How's school been going? Is that bully and his friends still bugging you?" I thought about it and said, "School has been going good and no they haven't been bugging me. The bully has stopped bullying me and his friends don't bully me, instead, they look at me weird or they stare at me emotionless." "Is Danny still nice to you?" The masked man asked me. I replied by saying, "Yeah, Danny is still nice to me." The masked person tensed and then asked, "Is he like your boyfriend or something?" I then said, "No, Danny is not my boyfriend. He's more like a brother to me." The masked person relaxed. We continued to talk about different things while we walked around L.A.

As we continued to walk around, I started to get sleepy and I'm guessing the masked person saw how tired I was, because he said, "I should probably take you home before you pass out." I nod as we started walking to my house. The only problem is, my house is all the way across the city and once I'm tired, I start falling asleep. As we were walking, I kept stopping and my eyes kept closing. I'm guessing the masked person noticed me falling asleep because he stopped in front of me, and told me that he will carry me to my house. I got on his back and the masked person started walking with ease. I'm guessing he didn't have a hard time carrying me because he didn't stop or slow down. "You're light as a feather." The masked person said to me. "Thanks." I said as I kept falling asleep. At this point, I was tired to the point where I just wanted to pass out and guess what I did, I passed out on the masked person's shoulder. Before I fell asleep, I heard the masked person say, "Sweet dreams, my little kitten."
