PREGNANT

CHAPTER NINE

Oh no. This can't be happening. Why is this happening? I thought I would never see him again. I mean, I moved from my home town because of him.

How did he find me?

The guy that stalked me for half of my childhood hood is standing right beside me. Killed innocent people for no reason and is a psycho.

Flashback..

"Zuri you need to stop coming home late in the evenings. You know what as been happening lately and we don't know who is the cause so please be more careful."

For the past months every guy I come in contact with was either found dead with stabbed wounds or in the river near my neighborhood.

It's very confusing and traumatizing but I never allowed that to stop me from doing my usual routines in the evenings.

Though, no longer did anybody want to be around me because they end up dead. I know sad but that as been my life lately and to make it worse no one knows who is murdering these guys.

"I know mom. I'm being careful do worry."

"Alright I want you to help me set the table for dinner."

"Ok ma."

Later that night I was laying on my bed read a novel when I heard rustling outside my window. I know what your gonna say.

Run and hide. But that's not what I did. I walk towards the window and pulled my curtains open and looked down. There standing in my mother's garden was a man dressed in all black from him tam to his sneakers.

I covered my mouth before a scream could escape. My heart rate spiked as goose bumps filled my entire body.

This must be the killer.

I slowly walked away from the window and towards a table in the corner of the room. I took up the larger vase and slowly stalked to the window again and carefully opened it ensuring I didn't make any sound.

When I finally got a good aim to rise my arms and dropped the vase on the intruder's head causing him to fall to the ground with a groan.

I waited a minute and realized he stopped moving before running to he bed and took up my phone and call the police.

"911, what's your emergency?"

"Hello....um there's someone in my backyard."

My breathing was harsh and the words could hardly get out.

"Ok. Mam I'll send the police right away. what is your address?"

"66 Lendsford Drive."

"Ok do you hear him moving around?"

"No, I knocked him out."

"Alright... are you inside the house?"

"Yes I'm in my room."

"Are you home alone?"

"No my mother is in her room a few doors from mine but she's sleeping."

"Ok I'm going to need you to go to her room and lock the door behind you. The police is close by."

"Ok."

I stood up and ran to my mother room and locked the door behind me.

"Sweetie? What is it?"

"Mom there is someone outside. And I think it's the killer on lose."

"Oh my gosh. Are you sure? Have you called the police?"

"Yes ma."

Just as I said that I heard the sirens outside.

We later found out it was Gary our nextdoor neighbor and that he was actually the one killing all the guys. They took him into custody where he confessed all of this.

He even told them that I was his and no other man could have me. He was jealous of all the guys I came in contact with and that's why he killed them.

Gary, was a psycho and threatened that when he got out of prison that he would have me whether I liked it or not. That's why I moved.

End of flashback....

"I want to leave now. Please Theo we need to leave."

"No you won't."

Gary said and took out a gun from his waist.
