The prickles on her neck told her she was being watched. The beating of her heart could be heard within her chest. Her breathe caught in her throat as she tried to exhale. She could feel her body tense under the looming shadow's stare. The air around her was becoming warmer as she felt the person's body heat radiate directly behind her. It's breathe was sultry and hot against her cool skin. Her survival instincts kicked in as her feet began move on their own accord. She prayed silently as her feet started moving faster. Footsteps sounded behind her, following easily at her slow pace. Her mind reeled as the footsteps caught up to her. She ran faster only to slip on the wet pavement beneath her. Her hands reached out in front of her instinctly to break her fall. As her hand connected to the pavement, she heard a faint crack and searing pain shot up her wrist and arm. Her body fully hit the pavement while she cradled her wrist in her other hand. She slowly rose to a kneeling position. The focus in her eyes cleared when she noticed a pair of brown worn-out boots. Her eyes slowly looked up to see who was following her. Cold, brown eyes stared down at her. She wanted to scream but she couldn't find her voice. Slowly, the man bent down in front of her. He leaned so close that his breath could be felt against her ear.
"What were you doing at my house?" he whispered into her ear. She gasped in horror and tried to run but he pinned her down. He reeled her back around to face him. "I said what were you doing at my house?" His eyes never left her as he waited for an answer. What was she to say? "Dammit answer me! What were you doing at my house?" Fear overwhelmed her entire body. Suddenly, exhaustion came over her. Before she could even defend herself from falling forward, her world went black as night...
