Chapter 2

“This home would be perfect for you!” exclaimed the house owner. “It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and I just recently remodeled the kitchen!” 

I walked into the warm living room, it was very cozy and there are cute Halloween decorations hung up everywhere in the room. So many decorations that you can hardly see the violet painted walls! I took another step in as the home owner continues to talk

 “Oh and the neighborhood is so nice… Oh but that Mr. Jameson…. ” As she continued her fast chatting I walk around the house inspecting.

It really is a lovely home with its lovely violet walls and redwood floors. The floors are so new and clean that I can even see my own reflection.  There are windows everywhere, exposing the outdoors to me.

                                                Yes this place is perfect…

“How much are you selling the house for?” I turned and smiled at the lady. She stopped her fast chatting when she sees that I am looking directly at her now. 

“I am selling it for $100,000” she answered. 

“How soon do you think you could move out if I paid you in full now?” Her face shifts to a confused happiness. It took a moment of hesitation but she gave me a large smile “I could move out this weekend!” she shrilled, excitement booming from her.

“I’ll take it then!” I smiled back at her. She was basically jumping down and up.  

We shanked our hands and I told her I would send the money to her account. “Thank you soo much Ms. Ricksaw! And I hope to see you soon!”  

“Please, call me Emma” I smiled and waved to her goodbye as I walked away. Kevin wasn’t going to be happy, he had been wanting me to call ‘her’ or send ‘her’ and email about my whereabouts. LIKE. THAT. was going to happen….

I walked into the inn that I had been staying at and went up into my room. Right when I close the door to my room I hear a knocking at my door.

“Ms. Ricksaw, room service!”

I didn’t order any room service….

I grabbed one of the mugs next to the coffee maker and make my way towards the door and peep though the peep hole. There is a young man with the inn’s logo on his shirt. “I didn’t order any room service” I yell though the door towards him.

“It’s a gift from the inn madam” he looks directly at my peep hole. I still don’t move, my heart is beating faster.

                                                What if she’s found me… what if she knows I know…. 

I grip my mug harder and slowly unlock the door. If she’s sent someone after me, I should send a ‘message’ her way. I open the door slowly and give the man a smile. 

“A gift you say! Come right in!” I am smiling at him, not giving him the doubt that I may know what he is here to do. My heart is pounding.

The boy walks in, pushing the trolley carrying food plates. He moves to open the covered food and I shift over near the bed, still watching him. His expression changes, he quickly pulls a sharp object from under the covering!

He lunges at me and I roll over the bed to the over side! He’s holding a long sharp knife.

Yeah, that would suck to get cut by that… 

His structure changes into a more animalistic as he jumps over the bed to stab me. I throw the mug at him and jump off to the side and dodge his attack. He lunges for me again but this time I drop to the floor and kick up at his hand, causing him to drop the knife. I kick him in his stomach and it pushes him back. Causing him to hit is back at the edge of the bed and creating an unnatural arch.

I grab the knife and hold it to his throat. “Who sent you?!” I yelled in his face. We are so close I can feel his panted breath on my face. My heart is pounding as the adrenalin rushes though my veins. 

He’s staring at me with heated eyes of hate. “I will never tell you..” He gives me a mad smile. He kicks me in my chest, pushing me to the ground, and runs out the door… leaving the knife with me…
