- Mentions of stalking

  I've come to seriously regret acting so rashly. For one, it had started storming. Full on winds, lightning, and pounding rain that had already soaked me.

  I desperately tried to huddle in the one corner that had a little cover but with the wind rain poured into the small hut easily.

  "Stupid." I cursed at myself, pulling my knees to my chest in a last attempt to retain some warmth.

  The wind howling outside place a eerie feeling in my chest and I kept my eyes open and alert. Just in case some one had followed me...

  "Should've gone to Meliodas' house." I whispered, anything would have been better than this small hut. But when I saw that message... my body seemed to move in it's own.

I shivered once again as a gust of wind brought in more freezing rain. I tightened my grip on my knees, as if it could bring back the warmth that had long since left my body.

"Stupid..." I murmured against my cool skin as I closed my eyes, letting the raging storm outside lure me into sleep.

I awoke with a start, expecting to see my bedroom ceiling and warm blankets around me. Instead I was met with a drop of water sliding slowly down my face. My hand swept it off quickly as I sat up and examined my surroundings.

The rain had stopped, thank goodness, but the sun was still hiding behind the looming gray clouds. I frowned slightly and rubbed my arms as I crawled out of the tiny shack. My first stop, Meliodas' house.

I would tell him everything, He will know how to handle this person who was messaging me and watching me. A shiver ran down my spine as I thought of someone knowing what I was doing... knowing what I doing....

I shook the thoughts creeping into my mind away and trudged forward. Mud clung to my feet as I made my way towards the path that would take me home. I found it easily and wrapped my arms around myself as I walked.

I probably looked very pitiful right now, mud everywhere, soaking wet, shaking like a leaf. If anyone I knew saw me like this I would die from embarrassment.

"Meliodas will see me like this." I mumbled looking down at my awful appearance. I looked like I spent the night in the woods, which I technically did but I was sort of indoors.

This is going to be one long explanation once I reach Meliodas' house...
