Scarlett P.O.V.

I just got home and was about to open the TV to see if there is anything interesting to watch when I heard the front door of the house open and close with a bang like someone slam the door shut.

It must be Bethany. No one else has the key to the house except her. She came to the living room and collapse on the floor looking like she just finish running and her eyes were filled with panic and terror.

I quickly got of the couch and went to her trying to calm her down. She is so terrified and panic that she could not speak properly. Then I remembered the last time she came to my house in this condition and figured out that her behavior has something to do with her ex psychopath date.

I manage to calm her down enough to tell me what happen. She told me someone sent her a bouquet of flowers to her office and when she found the card it was from him. She then shows me the card.

The only words written in cursive in the middle of the card was,

I will see you soon. M.E

My heart freezes when I saw those words. I look up at Bethany. No wonder she is so panicked right now. I was also panic and scared but I did not show it to her because I need to be her strength right now so she does not panic even more. My brain is working out what to do about this situation and decided the best solution is to go to the police station in the morning to report this.

I wanted to go now but it was a little late and Bethany is still freak out. I need to put her to sleep so that she can rest and clear her mind.

“Come on. Let’s get you change and go to sleep” I tell her softly while I gently help her getting of the floor and guided her to her room. I left her side for a bit to get her sleeping clothes and when I came back to her I tell her “change into this I will be waiting for you” she just nodded at me still to freak out to say anything and grab the clothes I gave her and went to the bathroom to change.

While she was in the bathroom changing I thought about what was happening to my friend and the more I thought the more I got mad. Why couldn’t that bastard leave my friend alone and look for something else to occupy his time. I was just thinking about what tortures I am going to do to him if I ever manage to get my hands on him for what he has done to my friend when the bathroom door slowly open. I kept that thought for later and went to help my friend to her bed.

I made sure that she was really sleeping before I got off the bed switching off the lights before I left the room. I hope she sleeps okay and not have nightmares till she can not sleep.

I went to my own room and to sleep as well. I didn’t know that he had check out all the details about me and Bethany and knows when to strike without being caught and that was my mistake.

I woke up the next morning feeling tired because I did not have a decent sleep thanks to all the nightmares that I had. I hope Bethany had a better sleep than me but I doubt it. Oh well time to get ready for work. I did my normal routine of getting ready for work.

Once I check my self in the mirror and was satisfied with my appearance I got out of the room and went to Bethany’s room to check on her but she was not there. So I went to the kitchen to see if she is there and sure enough she was there stuffing her face with the ice cream I bought the other day.

“Seriously? Stuffing your face with ice cream early in the morning Beth” I said with a little humor in my voice. “This is my comfort food don’t mock me” she said defensively. “Ok” I said with my hands in a surrender manner. Then I got serious. “We need to go to the police station today to report about your psychopath stalker and get the right security so when he makes his move we will be ready for him” I said in my most serious voice and she had the nerve to laugh at me. “What is so funny?” I demanded. “We are talking about your safety here not some joke. You should take this matter more seriously. I can’t believe you were the one who was so freaked out yesterday night”.

“Wow chill girl I am taking this seriously it’s just that your tone and your words don’t match I mean who says psychopath stalker this days”. “Whatever we are going as soon as I got back from work. I don’t want you to go out, make sure you see who is outside before opening the door and if their suspicious looking call me immediately. Do you understand” I told her in a stern voice. “Yes mother I understand” she answered me mockingly.

I was about to retort but she cut me off. “God! I am an adult Scar I know how to take care of myself you just worry about your job and I will worry about myself okay?” she ask. I was about to argue but I saw that stubborn look in her eyes so I decided to let it go for now.

“Fine. Call me if anything happen”. “Ya I will have fun at work” she told me with an evil smirk I childishly stick my tongue out at her. She knows I will far from fun at my office with my boss demanding attitude and the harassment from the company’s slut. I got in the car, start the engine and drove off. I got to the office just in time. I quickly rush to the elevator with a quick good morning to Sarah.

Once I reach my floor I made a bee line my boss’s office to see if he needed anything which I am sure he has something minor things for me to do I roll my eyes but change into my work mode when I knock on his door. “Come in” the gruff voice of my boss instructed.

I do not why but every time I hear his voice I get this shiver down my spine but it is not from fear more of anticipation. I shook that thought out of my head and focus on the present. “Do you need anything for me to do this morning sir” I ask in a tone that was all business and no emotion.

“Ah yes I need you to review this documents for this afternoon meeting and also reschedule my appointments from after lunch to tomorrow as I have something important coming up. Oh I almost forgot there is also a stack of files on your desk that I need you to go through. All of it has to be done before lunch time understood?”

I somehow manage to answer in a calm tone and not snap at him. “Yes I will have it all done before lunch time. Is there anything else I can do for you sir”. “No you may go” he dismiss me. I nod a bit in his direction and went to my desk slamming the documents on my table. My frustration got the best of me.

“Someone is in a bad mood” I heard some say in a teasing voice. I look up and it was Catherine. “You have no idea” I moaned to her. “Why is he only torturing me by giving me all this work? Mark my words if this continues on I will collapse from exhaustion one day”. She laugh. “I am not sure if this is the reason why he is acting like this with you but you look a lot like his ex wife and they did not part in friendly terms. It was quite ugly divorce but it is not my place to tell you that if you want to know more ask the boss” I gave her an incredulous look. She laugh “okay maybe not. Wow look at the time I should really get back to work. Bye Scarlett see you at lunch” with that she walk back to her desk before I could ask her more about the boss’s ex wife but I knew no matter how much I ask she would not tell me anymore than she already have.

If I want to know I am going to have to find it myself but I am definitely not going to ask the boss that would be suicide. He does not like me begin with if I were to ask him about his ex wife he might fire me I shudder at the thought. I will investigate it later when the problem with my best friend’s stalker is dealt with.

I cleared my head of all the distracting thoughts and focus on my work. Once I was focus on my work everything else became a blur and before I knew it was already almost lunch time. As fast as possible I went to the boss’s office to hand up all the documents and once that was accomplish I went to have lunch with Catherine at nearby café.

We catch up on what was going on with our lives and giving each other advice on how to over come our problems. We also made jokes and when I check the time lunch break was almost over so with a little argument on who gets to pay for lunch which Catherine insists so I gave up and let her pay.

The rest of the day also past by a blur and when I just finish the extra work the boss made me do it was already home time. I guess today is my lucky day because I did even see the sluts today. So I pack all my stuff said the normal good bye to Catherine before I enter the elevator with a couple of other workers who were anxious to get home.

When the elevator reach the ground floor and the door open everybody quickly got out of the elevator and out the building but I stop to chat and say good bye to Sarah and then went to my car to pick up Bethany and go to the police station about Beth’s stalker.

So the days go past without anything out of the ordinary happening. I and Beth keep waiting for him to make his move but he never did it was like he just gave but we knew better he was waiting for something but we just don’t know what so we always keep our eyes peel.

It was Friday when it all happens. The day started normal like any other day with a little excitement because tomorrow was the weekend which means no work for two days.

Anyways I was having my lunch alone. Catherine had to stay back at the office because she had some work that needed to be finish to she told me have lunch by myself. I was okay with it but I should have pay more attention to my surrounding just because I am not at home does not mean I am safe.

So I was about to walk out of the small café after paying for the food when someone came up behind me poking something on my back and saying in a casual tone like we were close friends. But what he said made a shiver of fear race down my spine.

“Act natural. Walk to the blue car that is two cars in front yours and you make a fuss your friend’s life will be in danger you got that” I just nodded not able to say anything. “Good now walk to the car” he prodded my back with something metal I am guessing it’s a gun.

My feet move like it was a robot and follow the instruction of the person behind me. As we were making our way to the car I tried to see the plate number of the car but the person behind me would not let me move my head except to look forward and every time I tried to look at another direction the person behind would prod my back with the gun. I guess the person figured out what I was up to.

When we reach the car the person which I found out was a guy by the reflection of the car window but didn’t get to see his features properly open the door for me and said well ordered me to get inside so I did.

The inside of the car was like the luxury cars I have seen on TV with the leather seats, small tv on the side of the seats on the roof of the car, a champagne bottle and glass holder to the left and a slide glass that separates the driver and the people that is seating in the back.

“Drive” was all my kidnapper said to the driver and we were off to gods know where. I was just lost in my thoughts thinking of a good way to escape from here with Bethany without much harm and hoping that we were not going to be trap in the middle of nowhere when I realized the car was slowing down. I look outside and my fears were confirm I am surrounded by forest for as far as my eyes could see.

I tried to see if I could spot any other houses nearby but the kidnapper told me what I was too afraid to admit. “This is the only house that is within a hundred miles” when he said that a cold dread fell over me. How am I going to get Bethany and me out of here without getting killed in the process?

The kidnapper forced me out of the car and pushes me to go to the front door of the house we stop in front of. Now that I look at the house properly its just like Bethany describes it as. A creepy double story house that looks like it was build in the 1960s in the middle of nowhere.

I was about to hyperventilate when the front door of the house open revealing a guy in his middle twenties wearing a tight white polo t-shirt and dark blue jeans with chocolate brown hair that was swept to the side but somehow looks good on him.

I would have thought that he was hot but he was nothing compare to my boss and I can see that calculating look in his eyes like he was deciding the best way to deal with me and making his whole face look sinister. I shudder in fear and disgust at the way he was scanning me from head to toe. I know this was Beth’s stalker but what does he want from me?

“I got the girl you were asking for so where is my money” my kidnapper ask him. He just clapped his hands and a guy wearing a black body guard out fit came out of the house and went to my kidnapper handing him the silver briefcase in his hand. My kidnapper opens the briefcase and checks something inside.

When he was satisfied with what was inside he close it shut and said “pleasure doing business you” and walk back to the car and to the car drove out of the drive way leaving me alone with the psychopath and his bodyguards.

I was scared out of my mind but tried not to show it as people like him feed of terror. “Welcome Scarlett Jones to one of my many houses and the last house you will ever see” he said in an ominous voice that had my feet shaking.

I am so dead.
