“I don’t know you! Why are you following me? GET OFF OF ME!” she cried as the boy in black came nearer and nearer.

     “What’s the use of shouting inside a deep, dark alley when no one can hear you but me?” he smirked, accidentally showing his white bunny teeth. She took another step back, didn’t want the so-called stranger to come nearer but atlas, she was held to a stop as her back touched the walls of the dirty alley.

     “Now, you’re finally mine. After all this time..”

     Realising that she was unable to move, she gave up trying to run away. Perhaps, this is how I shall end my life. Not married, by the age of 19 and without a boyfriend my whole life. Mediocre grades, mediocre popularity, extremely loving friends..

     She froze herself and closed her eyes, giving up on saving herself, letting whatever the stranger wants to do to her happen. She had lost. She could no longer run away from him, she regretted how she ignored those warnings of him. Her friends had suspected it from the very early days, though she thought it was ridiculous, seeing herself as someone who had no what-so-ever potential of being stalked by. But then, as time went by, the stalker closer and closer, without her even knowing it.

     “Do anything you want to me. I don’t even care anymore! I don’t even know why you’re doing this! What did I ever do to you?!” she shouted back to him, with tears rolling down her face. The stranger sighed and suddenly laughed out loud, leaving Victoria in suspense. He came nearer to her, until there was only an inch of difference between them.

            His right hand gently her face while his other hand grabbed her waist and pulled it closer towards him. Victoria turned her face away, with full of disgust. No, she could not even see his face. The stranger was actually oddly dressed up, with a handkerchief covering his nose to his chin, leaving his eyes open wide, together with an odd dark-green coat with a black undershirt underneath, completed with a journalist’s hat, covering almost 50 percent of his black hair.

            Using his finger, he turned her face towards him, making her stare straight into his eyes. He pulled her closer to his body, and her back gently. Victoria’s eyes stared in shock mixed with horror, as she finally knew who was the real person behind all the ruckus.
