Stalk

The theme of this story is about a girl named Sienna who is dealing with a stalker. She goes through many scary situations to escape this monster. Keep reading to see where it ends.

Day 1 Monday of October: I woke up after a long day of work. Yesterday was strange. The new guy at work just kept staring at me. Every time I’d catch him, He quickly looks away. I get out of bed and stop thinking about him. I get ready for a day out with my friends since I have Monday and Tuesday off. As I get ready, my friend Sammy texts me” Hey, Bff almost ready? We can’t be late for our nail salon appointment”. I reply yes and head out the door. I walk out and see Sammy with the rest of my friends. Let me introduce them. Meet Tammy, Meli, and Georgina. Me, Sammy, and the others met in high school. We never left each other’s side ever since. We spent the whole day together.

I get home and approach my door. I see a rose and an envelope. I take both gifts and walk inside locking the door behind me. I sit down curious about who sent the gift and start opening the envelope. I open the envelope and read the note.

Note: Hello. It’s me...him….the envelope has something in it. Not just a note. I will be the one you love one day...I would go toothless for you. Please love me.

Love, Him

I start to feel uneasy...hoping someone is just playing some silly game. I check inside the envelope. Scared to put my hand in it after reading the note. A tooth falls out as a shake the envelope opens upside down. In shock, I jumped out of my chair. “ That is disgusting!” I yell. That’s when I hear a rock hitting my living room window. I look and it’s a man in a black hoodie. I start to feel scared. What is happening? I close my curtains and walk away from the window. That’s when the phone rings loudly. I jump and run to it.”Who is calling me at this time?!” I cry. I’m scared as heck right now. I picked it up quickly and it was my sister.” Hey Sienna! It’s me, Sasha! I made the cheer team!” She tells me. I congratulate her and end the call quickly with a good night.

Day 2 Tuesday: I get up out of bed early and get ready for the day. I go on my morning run and get breakfast. While sitting in the cafe I looked out the window. That’s when I get an unknown text from an unknown number. I try to ignore it but the person texts me” Why are you ignoring me?”. I think to myself why is a person I don’t even know texting me?” Do I know you?” I replied. The person seemed so quick like he or she was interested in speaking with me.” Of course my love… I am the one you have been waiting for.” They text me. I start to feel uncomfortable. I start thinking it’s that new guy at work but snap out of the overthinking real quick. I can’t assume it’s him… My mother raised me to never accuse and assume people’s intentions.” Um. I don’t know you, please stop texting me…” I replied. For some reason, it went quiet. My text was left on read.”You can’t escape me… No one will have you. I will kill whoever flirts with you. You are mine… Soon you will love me… The presents you will receive and the lovely phone calls you will get… I love you and I will do anything… Don’t test me my love… or I will have to hurt you…” they text me. My skin goes pale and I dash out of the cafe and into my car and fully lock it. After a few hours, I forgot about the situation.

Day 3 Wednesday: 3:00 in the afternoon and I am still at work. I am working overtime due to our month in the office. So I get off at 8:00. I leave to go print some papers for my boss and the receptionist Haley delivers a box to my desk. I walk back to my desk and grab the box. After the first incident, I was scared to open it.” Ugh just open it” I tell myself. I open it and it’s a weird drawing with me and this guy. Once I start digging for more items… I find pictures of me in my living room at night watching tv, Pics of me at the cafe, pics of me on my morning jog, and pics of me from Monday with my friends. Who is doing this… Someone is stalking me… I open the card and it’s from the stalker that sent me that tooth and text. I read it…

Note: I can’t wait to see you...If you avoid me I will carve your initials into my skin...When I meet you, my love...Can’t wait to meet you next Monday…

That’s when I decided to leave work early. I went home and grabbed my stuff and left for my mother’s house. I felt so scared. I decided I am tired of dealing with this nonsense anymore. I shut my location off on my phone and walked into my mom’s house. She sees the expression on my face… That’s when I break down crying. I tell her everything and she lets me stay with her until the situation starts to die down.

Three Months Later: It’s been three months now and I finally decided to come back home. When I got there it was nighttime. As I walked in… the environment felt different. It felt like someone was around. I brushed it off just thinking maybe I’m just paranoid.

February Monday evening: It was 4:00 P.M. and I went out with my friends after a short day of work. We went to a fancy Chinese cuisine and then went bowling. I went home at 8:00 P.M. ready to relax on the couch and watch Lucifer. I settled down and got ready. Sat on the couch and watched Netflix. For a while it was peaceful, But then I started to hear things coming from my pantry. I figured maybe it’s just a mouse trying to get into stuff. I barely had any loaves of bread or anything that they could get into there. So that’s when I started hearing from someone.” My love, I’m here...You will be with me forever...If you deny my love...I will hurt you…” The voice says. I notice it’s a male voice. I quickly grab the most solid thing near me. “ Who the hell are you!?” I scream in fear.” Why won’t you leave me alone!?” I cry.

The door starts to open and I get ready to swing. I start to see the guy...That’s when I find out… It’s the new guy from work. He starts walking close to me and I can’t move. I’m too scared to the point where I feel defenseless weapon or not.” GET AWAY FROM ME!?” I scream. He starts smiling crazily and mumbling. He starts getting louder. “YOU WILL LOVE ME!? Ever since I saw you at work I fell in love!? Let me show you how much I love you!?” He screams. He takes out a kitchen knife from his jacket pocket. Start’s threatening to hurt me. Telling me he will carve his initials into my forehead and carve mine into his. That’s when he charges at me. I start to run and hide. I find my way to my front door and run out of there. No one can hear me. No one will help me. He’s chasing me down the parking lot screaming at me. “ I AM TIRED OF YOU AVOIDING ME!? YOU ARE MINE?!” He screams. I'm starting to get tired and I start slowing down. He starts to catch up and tackles me. That’s when he stabs me in my lower back. I fall bleeding horribly. Crying because I didn’t want to die like this.” I TOLD YOU TO NEVER AVOID ME” He screams. Right before he tried to get another stab in, a man shot him in the head. The guy that saved me calls the police.

The police arrived and the man who shot my stalker told them everything. I was taken to the hospital. It was a week later and the guy who saved me was in the room with me. “ Hello, I know you don’t know me but I was the guy who saved you from that man. Let’s just say he didn’t survive. My name is Richard Smith. The police investigated him and he was stalking you…” He says. I start getting emotional.” Thank you… Yes, he was stalking me…” I told him. He starts to get emotional.” I’m sorry I am crying… I hate seeing women in danger like this...I saw the terror in your eyes...I saw the pain and hurt in your eyes. Seeing you on that ground crying to stay alive just made me feel so sad...I don’t know how to explain it.” Richard says. I look at him with a smile. I know he cares.” I’m fine now. My name is Sienna by the way” I tell him. We talked the whole day.

9 months later: Me and Richard are in love with each other. He proposed to me. Surprisingly, it took me 5 months surprisingly to heal. Mainly because the wound didn’t put me in so much worse condition. Last week he proposed to me at a beautiful flower garden. I never knew the guy who saved me from a stalker would be the one I fell in love with… I love him
