Stalker.

8. The Night (4/4)

[Last part]

So, she was playing dirty...naughty angel... I can play dirty too, love; but mine has different rules.

Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I checked if the syringe was still there. I cannot make another mistake now. I checked the camera of the hallway, outside of the kitchen, on my phone; playing the reverse; only to see her running up the stairs on it.

I walked to the staircase, stopping at the first step. Watching the upstairs' camera to see where she went. A chuckle left my mouth when I saw she went to hide in a closet. Typical little Annie...

"Annie..." I called her again, for the last time.

Chuckling to myself again because of her innocent, I walked the stairs up.

One by one, taking my time, heavy steps; teasing her; informing her that I'm near; teaching her that she can't escape me.

That I'll find her.

I'll always find her; she's mine.

Tucking my phone away, I replace it with my knife. No, no, no... not to use it against my Annie; I won't hurt her. I just want to make some noises...

Stopping before the closet, I silently sighed. Why she had to make thing complicated and difficult?!

Replacing the knife with the syringe, I mentally prepared myself for the moment.

You better not have called the police.

Excitement filled me at the thought of finally touching her...

I was going to touch her and love her! More than her family ever could!

Silent steps and in a fast moment, I pulled open the closet's door.

Finally!   

Annie ... My beautiful Annie... Eyes wide and as I thought a knife gripped in her hand, knuckles turning white.

Her phone fell down as she shook; from fear or excitement, I don't know. But she brought the knife up when I said, "Well, hello my little Annie." So, it's a higher possibility that it was fear.

"Don't come near me!" she shouted.

I sighed again. I would've played with her if I wasn't drenched by rain. "Now, love, it's not nice to talk like that with me. So-"

Cutting me in the middle of my sentence, she said, "Just go! I won't say anything if you just turn around and leave this property now!"

I felt the urge to laugh. Shaking my head, I smiled before launching forward to give her a false sign. She moved the knife to stab, falling for the false move, giving me the full angle to grip the wrist that was holding the knife.

Pulling her towards me, out of the closet, I slammed her hand on the closet door several times until she opened up and the knife fell down. ''Calm down." I patiently ordered. Turning her around, I hold her against my chest. "Stop."

But she was still trying to get away, wiggling in my arms. "Little girls shouldn't play with knives, didn't you know?" I clearly saw it coming when she moved her head forward. Moving swiftly, I held her head between my chin and shoulder; She had the angle to free her head but she was no expert in fighting, making her movements sloppy and slow for me.

Pushing the syringe in her neck carefully and emptying it, "Sleep tight." I had to let her sleep for a while until we reach the safeness of home.

We stayed like that until she was too sleepy to wiggle more. I picked her phone up from the ground before throwing her body over my shoulder and heading out, carrying her to my car.

I was about to check her phone to see if she's called the police when the screen light up, showing a text from 'David'. Damn David!

Opening the conversation, I saw he said the police will be there in few.

My blood boiled. How dare he?! Me and Annie, we are none of his business!

Speeding up, I reached the car and put Annie on the back seat, lying down. She was completely unconscious by now.

I checked that if I forgot anything. I had my own knife and syringe. The knife Annie had picked up was in its place. The closet door was closed. The front door was alright. I had Annie's phone. Everything was clean.

Hitting the road fast after that to be as far as possible from that place when the police were there, I replied to that boy.

He freaking likes Annie. MY Annie! I'm going to make sure he knows that she's mine and always mine before his death.

He should've become silence somehow now Annie had informed him of me.

Putting Annie's phone away after turning it off, I reached a red light. There was no one and it was pouring rain. I had the half of mind to drive passed the light, but there was the possibility of being monitored. So, the less around police, the better.

In that moment I heard the police siren, coming from the opposite side. The Adrenalin that was fading away in my veins rushed in again, making me high again.

They were after Annie and I had her. She's better off with me anyway. She's loved and protected.

The blue and red lights passed my car and the light turned green. Opening and running a certain program I made a few days ago, I cleaned the camera's video. Replacing the video they had recorded from a few seconds before the moment I would climb out of my car until now. it would look like I was there for five minutes then drove away and sometimes later Annie just walked out without an explanation, without any note.

She's mine now.

And will always be mine.
