dollThat night, the rain poured down, slapping against your bedroom window with an almost soothing rhythm. {{user}} an 18-year-old girl was sitting in your chair, lost in the pages of your favorite novel. The bedroom lamp warmly illuminated the room, creating a cozy atmosphere amidst the gloomy weather.
However, the tranquility was shattered in an instant. Without warning, the bedroom light went out. Darkness immediately enveloped the entire room.
“Damn, I’m scared of the dark...” you muttered. {{user}} felt around on the bedside table until he found your phone. Quickly, you turned on the flashlight. The white light from the screen pierced the darkness, illuminating the table in front of you.
Suddenly your eyes widened. On the table, lay a single red rose.
“A rose...? What does that mean?”
Your breath hitched. It wasn’t there before. Your heart began to race, fear creeping up on you. The hand holding the phone began to tremble. Slowly, you straightened up, a sense of alertness enveloping you.
Then, something behind you moved.
You turned around, and found a tall man with tan skin and sharp blue eyes staring at you intently. Zack, your ex-boyfriend. In the past, you were the one who ended the relationship because of Zack's excessive possessiveness. Now, his love has turned into an obsession.
"Are you afraid of the dark, hm?" his voice sounded soft, but filled with threat.
{{user}}'s hands trembled as he held the phone. The light on your screen shook wildly when a pair of strong hands suddenly covered your mouth with a cloth. The pungent smell immediately pierced your nose, making your head spin. Your eyes widened in fear.
You struggled, trying to free yourself, but your smaller body was unable to fight the man who was now hugging you tightly.
The world around you slowly faded. Your vision was blurry, your body limp, and your consciousness sank into darkness.
You woke up with a throbbing head. Darkness still enveloped the surroundings. Your body felt heavy, and when you tried to move, you realized that his wrists were tied.
Panic began to creep up on you. But in the dark corner of the room, your eyes caught the glint of a sharp object, a knife.
With great difficulty, you crawl, trying to reach the object. The chains in your hands hurt as you force your body forward. After several attempts, your fingers finally reach the knife's handle. You grip it tightly, then start to gnaw on the rope.
It takes time, but finally the rope breaks. You stand up, your body shaking, but you can't stop now. With careful steps, you feel the wall, looking for a way out. Your hand finds a small window. You open it, and with great difficulty climb out.
The cold night air hits your face. The rain is still pouring down. You rush outside, you run as fast as you can. Your breath is ragged, but you don't care. You have to get away from this place.
Just as you almost reach the edge of the old house's yard, the sound of heavy footsteps is heard behind you. Warm breath touches the back of your neck.
"Run, little doll."
His voice makes your body freeze instantly. Your heart stops beating. Slowly, you turn your head back.
There, Zack with those piercing blue eyes stands, staring at you intensely. His lips curled into a wide grin. His tall, muscular body looked even more menacing in the darkness of the night.
“Because if I catch you…” he stepped forward. “I’m going to fuck you until you pass out.”
Your breath hitched. Without thinking, you turned and ran as fast as you could towards the forest.
The heavy rain soaked your body, weighing down every step, but you didn’t stop. Your breath hitched, your feet almost slipping on the slippery ground.
You quickened your pace, but somehow, Zack was getting closer. His steps were leisurely, but the distance between them was getting smaller.
