I first realized that i had been stalked when my friend mentioned it. i wasn't the type to notice my surroundings. i am the average guy you meet every day. not very smart, still struggling with school chasing a childhood dream of becoming a vet. He was sitting there right across from me staring at me. I never really noticed not until Lilian mentioned it. Unlike me she was sharp< jess > She leaned in to whisper, we were sitting alone. < humm? > I hummed answering staring at my phone with boredom.
< well, I think you have an admirer > < hmm > I hummed again not paying her much attention. so she did what she always did. She pinched me < oww lily ..> < listen to me when I am talking blondy .. look > she turned to the guy and i followed her gaze.
Golden eyes stared directly at mine. I instantly felt intimidated. he was big, like a freaking wall big. all in black, black jeans black shirt, and black leather vest. did he come from a funeral? He had long, of course, black hair tied to his nape . he stared at me directly and I lowered my eyes instantly. damn, did I flirt with someone's girl? shit .. I don't remember..< who the hell is that? > I whispered to Lilian < never saw him before, i would remember if i did trust me ..> she answered me in a whisper too, like we were scared he would listen.
< hey there love birds what are you whispering about ?? > Lilian and i both jumped when we heard a voice behind us. it was Tim our friend, well kind of, since he had this huge crush on Lilian which she enjoys but keeps playing dumb. He is her stalker if I was to define him.
Tim sat with us and started chatting nonstop with Lilian trying as usual to impress her with everything and nothing. I looked back to where the stranger was sitting He was gone. I felt relieved. the dude scared me not that I would ever say that out loud.< so? Jessy? are you coming? > I turned when I heard my name < huh? > < dude were you listing?? about the party tonight!! > Lilian glanced at where the stranger was and looked at me worried. she could tell I was restless about him. I smiled at her and turned my attention to Tim again< yeah man! > < I will pick you up > Lilian added . I could tell Tim didn't like that. He never understood that we were just friends. Impossible he kept saying since I am not gay. but that was all we were. We know way too much about each other and we grow up together. < nah .. you guys go, I will take dad's car .. > Tim smiled again and continued chatting Lilian's ears off.

My parents went out. so I was without a car and since wasn't going to call Lily or Tim, I just decided to walk. it wasn't that far and it wasn't that cold either.
I was walking slowly so I wouldn't get tired when I heard an engine. before I realized it, a huge bike with a leather biker rounded and parked right in front of me. I gasped and walked a step back trying not to show fear.
< what the hell man !! that's dangerous !! > I said and tried to walk around him when he took off his helmet.
<hello .. > I froze it was the guy from this morning. he smiled at me and got off the bike. he took the remaining step between us and I didn't have a choice but to walk back. I couldn't help it. he creeped me out and he was huge!<you have beautiful eyes .. they're green? bleu? > I coughed and lifted my hand in a surrender gesture < Aah thanks nut... sorry I am not gay !! not that I have anything against gay men... they're cool !! > I said in what Lily would call a gay panic. I tried walking around him < so eh .. yah I have to go but hey good luck ... >
The big guy then grabbed my arm and spun me around. < hey! let go !! > I tried to pull my arm but he didn't move that was when I panicked. I tried to straggle but he so easily pinned me in place with both of my arms behind my back. he was holding them bout with one hand! what the fuck ?? how can a human be so fuking strong?? I wasn't small or weak I was a full-grown man and healthy. There should be at least some struggle. But it looked like he was holding a rag doll.
He snickered and I settled a little when my breath was gone. < what do you want ?? > I snapped . he leaned closer and pulled me flush against his chess < a kiss...> he whispered I froze.
< are you insane ?? Let go! I said I was not interested! > I tried straggling but it was in vain. he laughed at me .< maybe I am ... > he answered. I started to get scared. I looked around hoping to see someone. any one. but to my damn luck, the street was empty.< please.. > I whispered desperately.
<shuu ... I won't hurt you Jessy... > Oh god he knows my name ?? I am doomed. He leaned closer sniffing my neck < emm ... you smell like haven .. just like I imagined ..> he said and I started shaking terrified. < please don't ... > I couldn't help begging. I was terrified. the stranger smiled showing me canines < shuu ... it is ok ... I need you to be willing after all .. > he squeezed my arms so bad I screamed. I think he may Brooke it. < I am strong Jessy.. > he said and I saw his eyes glow
< i am way too strong for you. do you understand? > I nodded trying to hold back my tears. how the hell is this guy and how can a human be so damn strong !!!< in 2 days I am coming back for you ... say your goodbyes. find an excuse because I am taking you from here .. > I could feel a limb in my throat. < if you tell a soul about this I will kill them and everyone you love makes sure that every person who was even good to you. understand? >I nodded eagerly so he would let me go . he smiled, leaned in, and liked my face < yum ... can't wait to have you ..> then he let me go.I stumbled and fell on the floor. when I looked up I saw the stranger changing. huge leather-like wings spread from his back and his smile widened and his mouth got so damn big it reached his ears.
Holy shit!!! he is a monster!
The stranger, monster crocked his head to the side and hissed < I changed my mind .. you tell a soul and I will eat them . > he laughed and shook his shoulders < keep the bike love > The thing just flew away. i stared at it for what felt like hours and jumped when I felt my phone vibrate. I finely stood up and stared at my phone. it was the guys at the party. I ignored it and turned back to my hose.
And ran like hell hounds were chasing me ..
Did I hallucinate? but my hand hurt and that is proof that I didn't imagine what happened.I ran until I was out of breath and then I started walking and panting.I walked like a freaking zombie. I reached my house and up to my room and just sat by the bed facing my balcony. What the fuck was that !!??
A monster is coming for me? That was what he said, right? but why me? can't he get someone else? holy shit! I picked up my phone and called the cops but then I hung up. what am I to tell them? A monster with wings said he was going to tack me and eat my family and friends ?? yeah... my mom is a bit paranoid and I will end up strapped in a mental hospital..
What am I to do?
----
The next morning Dad walked in my room and found me still curled under the covers < hey kiddo! still sleeping ?? > I just hummed because I couldn’t sleep a wink after last night. I just texted lily and told her I got food poison and curled in bed. < well, Dave is home ! he is here for the weekend you should go say hi >
Dave is home!!
I sat straight < he is? > Dad smiled he knew how mush me and all the neighbor's kids loved David. he was the older brother to all of us. lily even had a crush on him, maybe still have a crush on him. < yah > dad answered. < after he joined the navy he was barely home, go say hi! > he waved at me and walked out.
I jumped from my bed and walked out to my balcony. His balcony and mine were touching with a slight height difference. I was happy but then last night came back rushing.
Dave is a solder. maybe he can help, but what do I say? A monster attacked me and threatened to eat everyone ?? shit. i cant let Mom hear this. she will cry her eyes out thinking I am losing my mind like her uncle did.
I sighed, jumped to Dave's balcony, and knocked at his window. < dave !! open up, man! > Dave used to be the coolest and kindest guy you can know. but someday he just changed. no one knows what happened . he just shut himself in his room for almost a year to get out and say he was joining the Navy. his mom was just happy he got out of his room.
< dave !! I know you're home !! open up! > I yelled and knocked again. But he just ignored me. he does this a lot lately. he just ignored everybody so people started to ignore him back. but he was like a brother to me. I couldn't just walk away.
I finally stopped knowing he would open the door. < dave … please .. I need you …> I said in a barely audible voice but I guess he heard me because the door just opened.
Dave stood there in his boxer staring at me. he was just a bit taller but way too big. guess that's what the army do to you. He glared at me with his sleepy eyes and messy hair and crossed his arms waiting.
< eh .. well you see .. > oh shit! what was I thinking the damn thing said he would eat my friends. Wait maybe I am insane.
Eat ??
I swallowed trying to think how to tell my childhood friend that I had lost my mind when a cold hand touched my neck and I jumped. I looked up to see Dave frowning and caressing my neck < what happened? > < huh ?? > < this ! > he continued < it looked like a snake choked you ..> < oh .. > so he left a mark on my neck, I don’t even remember him touching my neck .. maybe I am insane ..
But .. hallucinations don’t leave marks …
Shit…
Dave took my shin in his hand and made me look up < who was it? > he asked in a growly and cold way. He always looked out for me. I let out a deep sigh. If someone was going to help me it was Dave.
< this weird guy …I never saw him … he ..> I swallowed and shifted my weight to the other feet. the floor was cold and I was bare feet. < he threatened me Dave… > I finely said < he said he was going to kill everyone, well he said he will eat them …> hearing myself saying something so absurd made me cringe.
Dave pulled me inside his room and I just sat on the bed while he was looking for pants < what did he want Jessy ? money? drugs? > I shook my head < no .. > Dave put on his jeans and turned to me < then what? did he have eyes for lily? > I laughed because it wasn’t Lily. dave just arched one eyebrow at me and I blushed. < no .. not lily … me.> I looked up at Dave's eyes to see them widen in surprise.
< he wants me. >
The shirt Dave was holding slipped off his fingers, and he said in a small voice < Jessy? .. did he do something to you? > I was a bit surprised at how softly he was speaking. I shook my head again < he said he wanted me willing …he was so strong and could do whatever he wanted..>
Dave let out a long sigh and picked up the shirt putting it on. < I am not gay Dave.> I added in a small voice. < I know> Dave walked out of the room and I followed < even if you were it doesn't mean anyone should force and threaten you for sex. >
True…
I would probably be as freaked out as now if that guy was a girl..
< where are we going? > I asked when I saw that we were in front of the house's main door. < the cops. > Dave answered and I froze.
< what? no !! didn’t you hear me? > Dave stopped walking and turned to me.
< I came to you, Dave!! no cops !! > I started pacing < you don’t understand he wasn’t normal !! he was so strong and .. and .. he had damn wings !! do you know someone who has wings, Dave? because this dud has wings !! and guess what !! he flew !!! >
Dave just stood there staring, thinking probably I lost my mind. I finely stopped pacing < maybe .. if I .. if I just give him what he wants… > I felt my throat closing and I couldn’t breathe I felt dizzy and my legs gave out on me. but I didn’t reach the floor. I felt a hand on my back and another on my arm easing me down slowly < breath! > I herd Dave panicked voice My vision was blurry with tears.
< Jessy! breath! slowly that's it .. slowly …> I finally could breathe again and stared up at dave who just sighed and gathered me up in his lap. < ok .. jessy .. no cops .. > Dave just lulled me in his arms as one would do to a child.
I relaxed in Dave's arms but we jumped when the door just flew open and the wings guy walked in.
< jessyyiiiii …. You have been a bad .. bad boy .. I told not to tell didn’t I ?> I felt my blood freeze in my vine and I stared wide-eyed as Dave walked to the stranger full of anger. it took only a second but I heard a thumb and turned to see Dave collapse on the floor bloody.
The monster threw Dave to the wall and he threw him so hard that I saw good traces on the wall.
Dave !! < dave !! oh god no .. no .. > I screamed and jumped when the monster spoke< I warned you didn’t I ? > I looked up at the guy with the tears blurring my vision <, please .. I am sorry .. don’t hurt him please > he just stared at me and crocked his head to the side.< I will do anything .. please … > the monster reached to Dave and grabbed his shirt < no ..> < car keys ..> the monster looked at me < fitch the car keys Jessy .. and I may consider not eating him >
I jumped running to the table where I knew Dave’s mom would leave the car key and I just grabbed them and turned but I found the monster at the front door < come now lover …we have a long drive ..>I stood there frozen as this thing walked out to throw the front door to the car dragging an unconscious dave he then stood and turned. he gave a long sight before he spook < Jessy.. lover do I have to kill your parents to prove that I am not playing? > he then shook the poor dave < or I should eat this one huh ?? >
< no … please .. whatever you want ..> I walked to him bare foot and trembling. he just took the keys threw dave in the back seat and got in < get in Jessy.. > and I did. just a second before he drove off I heard Dad's voice < jessy ??> I looked at him throw my tears and his expression changed to panic as he ran to us but the monster in the driver seat just drove off.
