Stalking In The Night

Chapter thirty one

Present 2025

The light shone through her eyelids as she woke up. Searching throughout the claustrophobic room, Maya noticed a small circular table, a lamp on it shining bright, a chair on the other side of the room, and the bed that she's on. The bed is rather soft. 

Sitting up, the room is a small room that's 10ft by 15ft. The room is very small with the stone bricks as walls, and cement as the flooring and ceiling. Taking observations of the room Maya moved from the bed finding that her right hand is handcuffed to the bedpost. Yanking it hoping it would loosen up but it's no use. 

 Throwing her head on the pillow as she remembers vaguely of what happened since her broan is still fuzzy from the chloroform. Closing her eyes, the door banged open making her jerk in surprise. In walks in a shadowy figure but it's hard to make out the person since it's hiding in the corner of the shadows, and the light illuminating throughout one part of the room shining right into her face. 

"Well, well, well. You're awake." the husky voice boomed in the room. 

Maya kept staring at him blinking every so often. Squinting off the light as the figure walked a bit closer to her yet still in the shadows of the room. 

"What? Cat got your tongue?"

Maya still didn't answer him not knowing what to say. The man laughed a maniac laugh like he's plotting something. 

"W-what . . . what are you going to do to me?" Maya finally make out just below a whisper. 

"Curiosity killed the cat. I'm not telling you."

Soon enough the guy came closer stepping into the light. Maya gasped and started crawling across the bed to the far end huddling into the wall. The light illuminated off of his face giving him an irritated expression. 

"Why are you crawling away from me, I'm your fiance."

"Let me out, then."

"No can do. I've been waiting for this time for months. I'm not going to let you go."

"Why not?"

"Like I said, I'm not telling you. You're going to have to wait." 

"Nik . . . whatever you're plotting on doing to me . . . please don't." Tears welled up in her eyes streaming down. Maya doesn't want to die and leave her mom and friends. It's too soon. 

"Aww, don't cry darling," Nik descended so he's sitting on the bed brushing the tears away, "You and I are going to have lots of fun." 

Swatting his hand away Nik's expression went form calming and caring to cruel and provoke. "Now Maya, don't act like that. I want to help you, but you can forget it."

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry? It's fine."

"No really . . . I'm sorry for hating you all this time and not understanding that you wanted to bring me pain and sorrow towards you," Maya spat. 

"Well look it here, my dear Maya has some balls and become feisty towards me. Wow, I'm so proud of you," Maya noticed the sarcasm in the whole speech. 

"I'm also sorry that you don't have a life but instead using it to kidnap e and possibly kill me."

"Wow, you are a feisty one." This time there's no sarcasm but hatred and evilness. He then laughed. "What ever happened to my Maya who's always scared?"

"That Maya is long gone," Maya growled. 

"I can see that. And I really like this Maya but I prefer the old one better."

"Really, well too bad."

"Wow, I would watch what you would say, though."

"Why? Are you going to kill me? I'm scared."

"Oh you should be whether you are or not, you should be scared."

It fell silent between the two creating a staring contest between the two. Maya's breathing hitched when Nike gave the death stare at her. No sound was to be heard from the two. Not one of them moved until Nike broke that. 

Nik hoisted himself from the bed walking back to the door. Opening he paused still holding onto the door, "Also, I would be careful what you say and do around me or my helper. You wouldn't want to know what I could do." 

Going out the door slamming it on his way out, leaving Maya lonely in the room.
