Emma's stalker

Chapter One - All is well

It was a bright sunny day as Emma strolled her way home after a good day at work; she had decided to talk a longer route today that led through some woods on the side of town. She smiled as she walked down the trail listening to the quiet sound of leaves blowing in the wind. The country side in the south of England was beautiful this time of year.

Her blonde hair blew faintly in the wind and she had to brush a few strands off her smooth face as she continued to walk . She passed a small pond on the side of the pathway as she moved her handbag strap up her shoulder to stop it slipping off. The woods she was walking through were lush with greenery and teaming with wildlife, she had glanced a deer earlier and the were a family of foxes living somewhere in there. The flower's were out in full bloom which added variations of color to the forest floor which was quite breathtaking to see and she smiled slightly as she passed by some of them.   

Just like the weather her mood was also very bright and sunny. She had been working at her new job for just over four months now and she loved it. She worked as part of a worldwide company that was well known and best of all they had a location in her town so she didn't have to move away from all her friends and family. But that didn't mean she shouldn't move. She exited the woods and took a side path that led onto to a street filled with houses. Up the road on her left was a main road in her town that led into the tow center and she headed to the right down the road. A hundred or so meters later and she turned onto another short-ish road and head down it until she turned into the driveway of her house.

It was a nice semi-detached house that she had moved into two months ago. It was a modern looking house where the lower floor has the brickwork exterior of many modern houses but the second floor's exterior was adorned in oak wood that gave it a modern artistic style. Emma was very proud of this house as she had worked hard to buy it and it was the second home she had owned after a flat she lived in for two year after she moved out of her parents. She passed her car and went up onto the porch to the dark oak door and unlocked it before going inside. She placed her handbag on the table in the living room before plonking herself down onto the sofa. She looked around there spacious living room,she still wasn't quite used to her more spacious new home, and she took her phone out of her jeans pocket. She closed the Pokemon go app she had open, yes even though she was twenty she did play the occasional video game and she had played Pokemon as a girl and this new game was good fun in her mind, and she went into YouTube to check something.

She couldn't believe it. Her video had over 200,000 views. She had only uploaded it a week ago. It was a video of her and one of her friends playing a really funny yet silly prank on her best friend.
In the video, Emma had filled a room in her house  with balloon's and asked her friend to get something from that room as she was in the middle f something. Her friend went that room and opened the door while not looking, which gave her the surprise of her life when she walked right into the tsunami of balloon's. And then to rub it in Emma and her other friend had breathed in helium and they snuck up behind her and they cried "SURPRISE" which scared her out of her mind. Emma couldn't help but laugh as she remembers it reading through some of the comments, most of which were saying how clever the prank was with some comments making some jokes about it. After chatting with a few friends on Facebook she turned off her phone and went about making herself some dinner.

Overall Emma was pretty content with her life so far and she would change any of it, she had a good job and a nice house, she had many good friends and she was only twenty. However she did now feel a bit lonely now and she hadn't had a relationship since she was 16. But she wasn't to bothered by this, sooner or later she would meet a nice guy. As she was waiting for her lasagna to cook she go a text from her friend. "Hey are you coming to the party?". She replied with "Yes sure. I'll walk to yours for 8" before she finished cooking her meal. After that she changed into some more comfortable clothes while waiting for her dinner. 

Later that evening as the sun was setting casting a crimson hue onto the clouds Emma left her house and walked down the street towards her friends house. She walked onto the main road that led into town and headed away from the center of town. After walking for half and hour she turned onto another street where her friends house was. She crossed the street and walked up the pathway to the front door. Before she could knock her friend opened the front door, "Hey Emma." "Hey Sally" Emma smiled back. "Come on in. The party's started already" Sally chimed as she stepped aside letting Emma inside.
