Fear

Melisa darling, I'm waiting for you in the park

Rottenbir tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock

Don't miss coming...

Melisa was scared, she didn't expect this person to be so determined to ask her to meet him in person. He was afraid, but his heart wanted to go to find out who the prankster was who had been terrorizing him all this time.

"Jack... Jack... wait?" shouted Melisa. He ran fast after the man dressed in long-sleeved brown clothes who was standing far in front of him.

Jack seemed to deliberately ignore the calls behind him. He continued walking even though Melisa kept shouting his name.

“Jack… stop… !” Melisa shouted, this time she was even more annoyed with Jack.

His efforts were successful, Jack stopped and looked back. Melisa smiled wryly at him. With a heavy breath, he walked over to Jack who was silent. Jack stared coldly, as if nothing had happened.

"Jack, someone is following me." Melisa replied spoiledly, hoping that Jack would care about her.

"Keep going ?"

“He kept following me Jack, sending scary texts. I am very scared." Melisa acted like a child being followed by a stranger.

"Go home!" said Jack expressionlessly, always flat and his facial expression never changed at all. Very cold.

"But...but..." Melisa was disappointed, Jack stepped forward again.

"But this afternoon he invites me to meet him at Rottenbir park, what should I do?"

Jack didn't answer and tried not to care about other people's affairs, especially women who he considered very annoying like Melisa.

Melisa was very sad about Jack's response to her. It turned out that her spoiled attitude wouldn't just make Jack, the ice prince, melt.

Melisa went home with hard thoughts filling her brain, she lay down on the bed while occasionally taking a deep breath. The mysterious SMS came back. Melisa was afraid to read it, but she had to do this, to be sure what else this strange man would do.

Hi darling

How ? are you dressed pretty?

I have prepared a gift for you

We will ride bicycles around the park while eating

Delicious chocolate cake. I've prepared everything.

"You are crazy !" said Melisa irritably.

Melisa got goosebumps reading it, how could she possibly date a man she had never seen before?

"I have to sleep until tonight, so I forget all this...!" he said while closing his eyes even though he didn't feel the slightest sleepiness. But whether he likes it or not, he has to do this.

"Lisa... Lisa!" Mother shouted calling Melisa.

"A...oh mom, I almost fell asleep earlier." he complained in his heart. Melisa ignored her mother's calls, who were screaming.

"Lisa, what are you doing?" her mother shouted, Melisa remained silent even though she heard it. He tried to fall asleep deeper to forget the mysterious message.

"Lisa...what are you doing? Come on, help mom for a moment!" now the call is not just a scream. Mother seemed to be at the door of her room.

"Lisa, come on, open the door?" mother shouted as she knocked on the door.

"Y...yes ma'am, just a moment." he answered. Annoyed, he got out of bed to open the door.

"What's wrong ma'am?"

A large man with bright red eyes was at the door of his room. The man smiled broadly with brown teeth and thick fur circling his mouth and chin. The man held a scythe and shouted viciously.

"No…. !” Melisa shouted, the man swung his scythe loudly at Melisa. Fresh blood spurted from his body, his vision blackened instantly.

"Mother ?" Melisa shouted hysterically. He woke up from his sleep.

"Lisa, what's wrong? You are okay ?" asked the mother who was extremely shocked to see her child screaming with cold sweat all over his body.

"Mother...mother, a strange person came into...my room, ma'am, he attacked me with a sickle in his hand." Melisa was still scared, her body was shaking.

“Already… enough… calm yourself down first. You're just dreaming, that's because you've been sleeping all day like this."

“Mim…dream? but...but ma'am...?”

"Earlier after school, mother saw you go straight to your room, even though mother intended to send you to the supermarket to buy meat and fruit. Tonight your Uncle and Aunt want to come over for dinner, will you help me, Mom? Mom is very busy cooking dinner, Max has gone somewhere."

"Okay...okay," Melisa answered weakly, Melisa was relieved to know that what she was experiencing was all just a dream.

"So this is all just a dream, huh? in that case, thank God !" he said feeling relieved. Melisa walked alone to the supermarket. His head couldn't stop thinking.

"But..." she thought, she reopened the mysterious SMS she received from the strange person. Melisa was surprised that there wasn't a single mysterious SMS in her inbox even though she hadn't deleted it.

“Eh? Why there is no ? strange, haven't I deleted it yet? does it erase itself?" Melisa couldn't believe it, this really didn't make sense.

He didn't continue his steps, he was forced to stop for a moment at a crossroads which were starting to get quiet. Melisa decided to contact Heriet.

“Hello… ?” he greeted.

"Yes Lisa, what's wrong?"

"Um... like this, have I ever told you about the mysterious man who is following me at the moment?"
