It was a rainy afternoon and I was leaving the university. I stand in the main entrance waiting for the rain to stop but after a few minutes I get tired of waiting and run to my car. "Well, Iza now you will catch a cold or a nasal congestion." It's what I think as I get in the car all wet. I put my backpack on the passenger seat and prepare to head towards my apartment.
I live in an apartment, with two other girls, since obviously I don't have money to pay for a house and less if I'm studying. I'm in my second year of college and I really like it so far. I have no friends and that's okay, I think. Anyway, I really don't need distractions. I'm just going to study, not to waste time.
I am currently studying Biology and I have to say that I love it. As difficult as it is, it is so exciting and it fills me with happiness. And who will not feel happiness studying what they like? And even more when you had to battle for it.
All that aside, I am currently in a horrible traffic. Great, exactly what I needed. What a bummer, I want to get home early and I have to do the groceries first, since this week it's my turn. Seeing that there is no alternative but to wait, I connect my phone to the car's Bluetooth and put on Spotify. I search for one of my favorite bands, Reik. I hit the playlist and automatically start singing one of my favorite songs ,"Spanglish".
After half an hour, the traffic finally decreases. I drive to the supermarket and go shopping. After 40 minutes I finish with the groceries and decide to take a walk around the park to clear my mind. I park my car outside of it, get out and start walking. About 20 minutes pass and I decide to sit on a bench to observe the landscape.
I really needed this, lately with so much stress I haven't had time to think about myself. Time passes and I realize that it is almost night, so I decide to go seeing that I have stayed longer than planned. I start to walk but I feel like someone is watching me. I try to hide it but my nervousness is very clear, since I can't resist anymore and start to run. I start running to the opposite direction of my car thinking that it could be a thief and stole it. But what a serious mistake. I find myself with a goddamn dead end.
I mentally reprimand myself as I think what to do. But it is of no use to me, since I feel like something cold is approaching my throat. Yes, it is a knife. I am stunned not knowing what to do until I hear the assailant tell me:
I caught you! -He says macabrely
Who are you and what do you want? -I say trying to stay calmly, which, I can't
That does not matter, the important thing is that you will die-he answers-
I was going to answer but before I can say anything I feel like the guy sticks the knife in my neck. I feel the blood gushing from my neck and everything turns black ...
Could you imagine dying from a stab wound to the neck? Well at least Iza never thought of dying this way. Even worse, she never expected to wake up in a cold and dark place with an insane boy who claims to be her guardian angel, who informs her that she is in the Limbo.
