The Bird

I didn’t sleep since last night. Ciara came over as she promised I told her about everything even the text. “Do you think he’s the one who broke into your house last night?” She asks with worry squeezing on my shoulder.

I’m not sure if he’s but deep down I can feel it it’s him. “Maybe I don’t know.”

”Why didn’t you ask him if he was the one?”

”Why would I ask a dumb question like this to him?”

Ciara sighs and lies down on my sofa staring at me as if I did a huge mistake. “Look I-“

”We should call the cops.” She cut me off addressing the cops. I choked slightly hearing the word ‘cops’ “isn’t it too dramatic? Like we don’t even know it it’s him…”

”What do you mean? Are you on nuts, b*tch? Someone broke into your house and someone texted you right at that day!”

I sigh rubbing my hands over my face. I know I should inform the police but… I tilt my head and my eyes opened wider. “How the f*ck he got my number by the way?”

Ciara snap her head back to me at the realization “Oh no I didn’t thought about it! Could it be your ex?”

i laughed mockingly slightly waving a hand at her “you think Andrew will sneak into my house?”

she remained silent cringing her face at me. I rise a brow at her. “Well…”

she stands up and hold on my both shoulder “I need you to be safe okay? You’re here all alone. I don’t want you to get into any trouble, understand?

My lip thin into a line as I forced a nod. She’s right. I’m here in L.A all alone I should be more careful. “I… I’ll call the police if it happens again tonight.” I whispered. She nodded biting her bottom lip and left patting on my shoulder.

...I stayed silent for few minutes alone in my living room. My brain wasn’t processing anything at all. I walked to my kitchen and opened my fridge taking out a martini. I serve the martini on my glass and took a sip. My phone buzzes, I took my phone to check it and I became still on my place looking at my drawer beside the fridge. A envelope covered with blood....

i took the envelope in my hands. Its dried with blood or is it fake blood? My hands are trembling. As I tried to open the envelope I dropped it on the floor at first then I picked it up. I opened it and found a letter inside it. It’s written with blood, so messy and gross. I bring it towards my face to read it but it’s quiet difficult for me to read as it’s too messy. I sit on the chair of the dining table and tried to read the letter as I finally understood.

...“Fly all you want. You got the freedom. But when I’ll catch you, you’ll be under my control little bird. All mine.”...
