"You’re mine."
Thump, thump, thump, thump. Her feet carried her as quickly as they could through the brush and down the interstate. The car she had been driving all night had unfortunately quit on her in the middle of nowhere. The poor girl was on her way over the mighty Mississippi River to meet her friends in New Orleans. They were beginning their spring break road trip like they do every year, except this time they chose a more exotic atmosphere. Her breaths were heavy and quick as her lungs worked overtime to get the proper amount of oxygen into her lungs. And it only got harder to breathe from there as her heartbeat picked up at a rapid pace. She continued to run.
Sadly, it wasn’t her lucky night as the thing she had been running from had finally caught up to her. His left hand shot out and his fingers tangled themselves in her locks, yanking her back so roughly that her body met the cool ground. A cry of surprise and utter fear erupted from the girl as her hands went up and back to try and pry the man’s set from her hair. As expected, her clawing made no difference as he dragged her across the gravel road off the beat and path. His chuckle rang out into the night air as he ignored her cries for help. “No, please! No!” Her throat felt raw from the hollering pleads for her life she made.
“Who are you?! What do you want?!” She continued to belt out as he tugged her up the rickety steps of the porch. The house looked like it was rotting and falling to pieces. It smelled of death and mold. It was dark and cold. With her head now pounding, she couldn’t stop questioning herself on how she got into this mess. As her cheeks became damp and the salty trails made their way down her chin, she knew to fear the worst. The man yanked her back up and slung her against the wall, a startling crack followed suit. Whether it was the wall or one of her bones, she couldn’t tell as adrenaline pumped through her veins.
His stare was piercing and the girl felt extremely uncomfortable under the gaze. He knew just how to intimidate his prey, he knew just how to lure and capture as well. The creature brushed her hair from her face so he could get a good look at her, prompting for a wince. He used his fingertips to caress the softness of her cheeks and jawline, loving the sound of her whimpers in his ears. “Why are you doing this?” The poor thing sounded so defeated as she came to terms with her own approaching death. A grin spread itself across his features and he made sure to maintain intense eye contact when he said it too. “Well because I can, darlin.” The next moment was the most excruciatingly painful experience she had ever endured, her efforts were of course not enough to stop him from stealing her life. And just before it was light’s out, his muffled voice broke through and faded in and out. “I suppose I can give you something before this is over. I mean I sure would like for us to do this again sometime. How bout it?”
The brunette shot up in bed, heavily breathing with a light film of sweat kissing her skin. This nightmare had made it a habit of appearing every few nights and it had happened since she was a kid. Her head began to pound to the point where her vision had blurred slightly, her hazel eyes traveled out the window next to the bed and back over to the clock on the nightstand that read 7 o’clock. Time to start the day, back in the town she barely remembered from childhood. Her grandparents had both passed a couple months ago and she had finally gotten around to moving into their old home. Her brother helped her pack up her car, but after that, she was on her own.
Adelaide got dressed for the day, tying her hair into a messy bun before walking to a stack of boxes all labeled and taped up. “Well, let’s get started, shall we?” After nearly 2 hours of unpacking and sorting, Addie remembered then that she had forgotten to eat breakfast. She had a hard time with memory since the accident, some bouts of short term loss here and there every once in a while. The young woman grabbed her keys and hopped into her grandpa’s old pickup truck that sat in the driveway. The rattle of the engine sounded sweet to the memory of her late pap, it was nice to hear.
She made her way out of the driveway without successfully hitting the mailbox, thank god because when she first learned to drive, she unfortunately had to buy a new one for them. Adelaide drove down the street and around the corner, driving until she made it into town. Once she made it to the little diner off the fourway, she entered and was immediately greeted by the chiming Of bells. The aromas of the food inside made her mouth water and her eyes momentarily closed as if she was picturing herself eating everything in the kitchen.
