Starting To Love You
Lost in thought
It all started out of nowhere. One day, Emily and Lucy, friends since childhood, were enjoying their day off from college when a misterios figure passed by them.
Emily
Lucy, did u see that??
Emily
That guy who just passed by us...he gave me cold trills...it feels like I've met him before.
Lucy
Eh? I don't know what you're talking about, I haven't seen any guy passing by in the last 10 minutes.
Emily
Seriously!? Am I having hallucinations?
Lucy
Haha...I think you get too lost in your thoughts sometimes, Emily. Let's drink something.
But Emily still couldn't stop thinking about that guy. She felt like she wanted to see him again.
Alex
Wassup girls? Morning!
Lucy
Oh..Hi Alex, we're getting to biology class.
Alex
Well, that's cool, I'm gonna prepare too for my maths class. Zzz... I'm still quite sleepy, wish I could've slept more...
Alex was Emily and Lucy's chemistry class colleague. He secretly has a crush on Emily.
Lucy
Haha...yeah I feel u.
Alex
Huh?? Emily, are you okay?
Emily seemed lost in her tracks, staring in void. But she shuddered at Alex's remark.
Emily
Oh, hey Alex!! I..I'm fine, just a little stressed with the upcoming exams... that's all.
Lucy's face got pale all of a sudden. She seemed quite troubled. Well... that's because she's been in love with Alex at first sight. She easily gets jealous because she has a hunch Alex likes Emily.
Lucy
We're gonna get late for class. We should hury. See you Alex.
Lucy cut abruptly the two's conversation, a sign of regret on her face, grabbing her friend's hand and starting walking fast.
Was softly whispering Alex.
As the two girls arrived at the biology lab door, a shocking grimace appeared on Emily's face.
Fear
Emily
Jenna?? Why are you here??
Jenna
Oh...look who I run into! Hahaha...a poor living being, what was her name?? Emma?
Lucy
Hold up, girl. First, her name is Emily! E-M-I-L-Y, got it?! Second, have u got bored of your little puppets at home so you decided to come school now?
Jenna
I...!!! Dammit! You always try to protect that little mouse Emily, but...haha...do you think she would do the same for you? Tsk...
Jenna was Emily's bully since primary school. Everytime Emily was coming from school, Jenna and her friends bullied her, making fun of the fact that her dad abandoned her and her mom.
Emily
You know what, Jenna?! I'm not like I used to be back in the past, anymore! I can take care of myself!
Jenna
Oh, really? Hahaha... you're making me laugh! -smirking-
With evil eyes, Jenna got closer and closer to Emily, their faces almost touching, Jenna whispering to Emily's ear:
Jenna
Don't you think you're gonna live a peaceful life. I will take care to make it the worst of all. You fool!
Caressing Emily's hair like nothing happened, Jenna walks away looking with a devilish smile at Emily biting her lips in sorrow.
Lucy
Hey, Em. Did that weirdo threaten you? Because I'm gonna punch her face the next moment I see her!
Emily
No, Lucy. I'm okay, don't worry about me. - forceful smile -
Lucy
Em, dear, please let me help you. You know I'm here for you.
Emily
I really appreciate your help, Lucy. But really, I'm okay. Thank you.
Lucy
Oh...okay then. Let's prepare for class, the teacher might come at any time.
Classes went well after all. Now it's time for Emily and Lucy to part ways.
Lucy
Em, I'm going home today earlier than usual...I have to deal with some projects, deadline is really close.
Emily
Oh...okay, please take care and good luck! You'll get A grade, nerd!! Hahaha
Both girls started laughing, then looking at each other
Lucy
My lovely Emily, she's the best company I could have ever had.
Emily
Hahaha...I like to lighten up the mood.
Lucy
What would I do without you? :))
Emily
:)) Ok, I guess I will go to the grocery store to buy something, I'm starving. Then I'll head home. Can't wait to take a nap once I'm full.
Lucy
Ok, sweetie, take care on your way home. See you tomorrow!
As Emily was walking on the street, she started to have the same feeling from the day before.
Will something bad happen to Emily? We don't know yet...
But you will find out in the next chapters.
Unexpected encounter
Emily
Did I imagine again???
Just at that moment, a black shadow grabbed Emily's shoulder and took her to a building's corner.
Emily froze in shock at the appeareance of the tall figure who was pressing her against the wall.
Only his eyes could be seen in the dark of the night.
Red, piercing, shining eyes were watching her with a cruel thirst of blood.
Emily
What do you want from me?!!!
At this crucial point, Emily gathered up all her power and put it into a horrible scream
The misterious man grabbed her hands, pressed them against the wall and he shut her up with a ferocious kiss
The man put a finger on her lips, saying:
???
I've been looking for you for so many years. Finally, I've found you!
A gentle look on the man's face appeared.
But frightened, Emily gathered up all her courage and asked him:
Emily
What are you?? What do you want from me?? Please, let me go!! Pleeeease!
Shacking and crying, Emily fell on the ground, losing her consciousness.
What will happen next? Will Emily be safe?
