After everything that happened everybody was not feeling the same way again , knowing that we were in danger .
The only thing we could do is nothing but locking the doors, I kept on visiting Tiffany at the same time working on the book with Matthew.

I called him after the fire I thought I had to apologize for yelling at him , he told me that he was wrong because he couldn't push her away knowing that Tiffany was doing it on purpose, since she thought Matthew and I were a thing . Everything went well between us two and he came over to my house to do our project together, we set in the living room meanwhile I was making tea for us due to the cold weather.

We were discussing the book title as well as the cover , it was pretty tough to choose since it had to be an attractive title , we could not choose but we did the necessary ; which is the content and the representation..
By the time we had finished Matthew had left home , the house meeting was nice and warm also comfortable because I was not wearing an official outfit just my pajamas.

It was almost time for dinner so I had to cook some food for me , I did not have time to choose a dish that would take too long so I made a nice warm soup , made of vegetables . I was thinking of Tiffany, did she eat ? Was she hungry ?
Despite her personality I got dressed and headed to the hospital.

8:30 Pm

I entered her room , she was awake. She couldn't even look at me from yesterday's.... I had to pretend, I was motivating and supportive she was pretty surprised but I could tell that she was very injured. I brought the soup I made , she was weak so I fed her . She was humiliated and ashamed of what she did , I kept quiet.

When she finished her dinner I gave her chocolates and a banana for desert , she needs to get over herself and eat. I helped her out with cleaning herself up and I brushed her hair to look nice , and I left her a cup of a hot lemon drink.
When I turned my back to leave Tiffany called me , she asked me why I was doing that for her . I confidently answered her question saying it was because I'm a human being, and left the room saying have a goodnight Tiffany.
While I was crossing the street to my car my phone rang I couldn't catch the call because I was in a hurry , as soon as I got in the car a opened my purse to get the phone . That was the same caller from days ago .. I waited for a bit because I knew he would recall . He did . I picked up ...

Unknown caller: " hello Andrea !" He said with a mysterious voice.

Andrea:" aren't you done yet ? What do you want from me ? " I replied.

Unknown caller:" I haven't started yet ... I want my life back " he said with a voice of anger.

Andrea:" who are you ? What life are you talking about ?" I asked .

Unknown caller:" you know what I'm talking about Andrea... you have two weeks left to live happily, you better not call the police or even tell anyone or.. "

Andrea:" or what ? You're going to burn another place down ? " cut his speech..

Unknown caller :" what fire ? " he asked .

Andrea:" you know what I'm talking about " I replied .

Unknown caller:" I do not . Call the police or think about calling for help and I will turn your life into a mess as much as you
Did to mine "  he said .

Andrea:" what do you want ?" I asked .

Unknown caller:" you will know so soon .." and ended the call.

Knowing that the unknown caller is not the same person who set fire the day before had made me wonder what was happening, his voice was not familiar because he was using a voice changer ugh my mind ... my mind I could not think of anything else.
I rode my car and headed back home, i had arrived safely. I took my shoes off , my coat off and set on the sofa , I took a deep breath .

My soup was still on the table I haven't even finished eating it , I heated it on the microwave and ate it suddenly the electricity went off , this thing had never happened before Perhaps it was because of the rain so I went to the kitchen to find candles. I lighted up the place , that was sadly romantic.... I put on my window to enlighten my room . I took a look outside the window, that window facing me had a faint light that was probably a candle. I still have the curiosity to know who was there perhaps I should have knocked on their door ... but what I'm going to say ?
No , my curiosity was driving me insane .

9:45Pm

A woman screamed loudly , it was a seeking for help scream I could feel the fear in it . I went out running , that was my neighbor Martha her door was locked I was knocking so hard trying to open it , she was screaming saying please let me go , a man came and broke the door I went inside running calling for her it was so dark I could not see anything but Martha was no longer screaming I thought she was dead , I used my phone flashlight there was muddy footsteps on the floor , the house was upside down, I stopped for a second trying to hear a move then I heard a window glass breaking , I run faster following the voice I spotted a medium high man running through the window I was screaming out loud to catch him , my worries about Martha had  me stop chasing him and look for her she was mouth taped , I freed her and calmed her down .

The police had came , and we called an electrician to fix the problem because apparently that psychopathic cut off the electric wires of our neighborhood ...
As soon as they fixed the electric problem the police had started investigating , they took his footprints and asked us about his look .... Martha was fully terrified, I took her home with me to sleep over I wanted her to feel safe .

10:30 Pm

Martha and I were home , I made her a hot drink and comforted her . She was shaking and afraid I gave her a tight hug I knew she needed support ... we went to bed together .

Martha :" Andrea ?" She said .

Andrea:" yes , Martha " I replied.

Martha :" when that man came into my house , he was not trying to kidnap me or even steal money ..."

Andrea:" then what ?" I turned around face her face.

Martha:" he brought gasoline... he wanted to burn me alive and leave .." she said with a pitchy voice.

Andrea:" I do not know what is that person wants from us ... but he only care about burning people alive " I said .

Martha :" I have never seen such thing ... he looked right into my eyes .
He was heartless and evil " she said with tears in her eyes.

Andrea:" Martha, listen to me it's okay you are with me now and he won't bother coming back again . You need to sleep now " I replied trying to comfort her .

Martha and I slept that night together trying to keep our minds out of what happened.
The next morning both of us went to work differently , pretending that we are positive and careless but all I knew that I'm not letting this man hurt any of my neighbors...
