Chapter 7
I woke up feeling better.
My eyes were weary I guess it was due to the tension from the previous night.
It was a bright and beautiful morning.
Mia has left for work already.
The terror and fear from the previous night made me extremely exhausted.
I got up from the bed, opened the windows .
"It's time to face my fears " i said determined to face anything that come my way.
***
I needed to go get some of my stuffs from Williams house.
I stepped out of Mia's apartment, feeling a bit cautious of my surroundings.
I wore a light pink crop top with a black jean pant and a black face cap the sun was really shining, I didn't want anything that will make me uncomfortable.
"I just hope this spies don't follow me again" I whisper to myself.
The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, just as busy as usual. Nothing seems to be out of place.
I couldn't book a ride because I haven't gotten a new phone yet, so I had to use the public transportation service.
I walked slowly with calculated speed, looking around to see any unusual movements but nothing.
As I boarded a bus, I was lucky enough to get a good seat close to a window.
I sat down quietly, just looking out the window.
The city scapes blurred together as the bus went on the route.
Slowly the feeling of being watched returned,I closed my eyes trying to calm my thoughts.
But the feeling intensified making my skin crawl.
"Why I'm I feeling this way?"
"Even in a public bus?"
I closed my eyes again and when I opened them again, a guy caught my attention.
He was putting on a black hoodie and sunglasses , I saw him staring at me from the rear mirror.
My curiosity to know who he was grew bigger.
I started watching him cautiously, I could sense that he noticed he was being watched.
So I tried acting normal, but with each stop my anxiety grew bigger.
I kept wondering if he will stop at the same place with me.
I tried distracting myself from these thoughts but they kept crawling back.
When the bus finally pulled up to my destination, I stood up quickly grabbing my bag and jumping out of the bus.
I tried to look around to see if he followed me but he was no where to be found.
I let out a sigh, happy that he wasn't following me.
I didn't drop at my main destination because of him, so I had to walk forward a bit before getting to my main destination.
Getting to the house, I walked around a little, the house was empty.
Williams has moved his properties out, including his pictures.
I hissed, infuriated.
I went to our room picked few of my belongings , as I was about going I heard a voice from the other room.
The voice sounds more like a whisper, I dropped my stuffs and went closer to know who it was.
Peeping through the door, I could see a man's back.
It was definitely not Williams, the man was tall, he wore a black suit.
"Who was he?"
"And what was he doing in Williams house?"
I went closer because I wanted to listen to their conversation.
I don't know who he was talking to because I could only see the man's back, I think the other person was standing directly in front of him because I couldn't see him.
Their conversations was in hush sounds, I couldn't hear a single thing.
"Fucckk" I cursed frustratedly
I stood there for a while contemplating on what to do next.
This is I and Williams house so I have every right to question them.
"But I'm alone and they are two" I muttered disappointed.
"They could harm me and get away"
" what do I do now?"
I stood frozen for a moment, deciding on what to do.
Finally I decided to leave them and go my way.
I took one final glance, but they were nowhere to be found.
Shocked, I opened the door walked into the room, open the toilet and bathroom yet I found nothing.
"I'm I hallucinating?"
"I'm very sure I saw someone in this room right now"
"Who is here?"
"Hello!" I screamed
"Who's there !" I screamed again but got no response.
I stood there, my eyes scanning every corner of the room, searching if I could see even if it is a faint shadow but still nothing.
Nothing, nothing , nothing.
"How did they get out of this room unnoticed?"
"I'm I running mad?"
"God save me!"
"Maybe it is due to the stress lately"
" or maybe it is as a result of the nightmare "
But I know what I saw, I'm sure I saw people talking in hush voices in this room.
The feeling of unease returned.
Suddenly a whirlwind blew shutting up the windows of the room.
The air around the room became thicker, someone was here with me.
The voices in my head returned this time louder than ever, saying different words at a time.
Words I don't understand.
"What are you?"
"Leave me alone!!"
I managed to say, before I could do anything else I felt like someone was strangling me.
No, I didn't feel it, someone was actually trying to strangle me.
My breathe ceased. I was suffocating.
I tried fighting back but I can't even see anyone. I was practically fighting air.
"What is happening?"
