Bloody Lips

Episode 13

Emma POV

‘SORRY FOR CREATING THIS DRAMA, LOVE BUT I AM VERY VERY ANGRY WITH YOU. YOU HAVE BEEN A BAD GIRL AND THINGS YOU DID TODAY JUST PISSED ME OFF..

COME BACK HOME ‘

That’s what I saw when I had looked behind Alex.

He was here because of her not me.

Not me .

Not me.

The same words keep repeating in my head.

But he will kill me if I tell anything to anyone. He will kill me.

Kill me.

Kill me.

Not her…me.

Flashbacks:

I was lying in my bed listening eminem songs in my iPod when I saw flash through my window.

I took out the headphones fom my ear and walked towards the window and leaned against the frame to look out.

There was dark out there and nothing else. I saw a group of guys walking in the side walk, laughing loudly. They had beer bottles in their hands.

Fucking pricks… Laughing at this time of night, I thought to myself. 12

I shake my head at them with a frown on my face.

I was about to turn back when the lights went off of my room. I halted and looked around.. What the fuck happened to the light now. This world is so fucking annoying.

A scowl made it’s way on my face. I stomped towards the door in darkness. I knew my room by heart so yeah i could move around in dark also.I was about to put my hands on the doorknob when I heard a chuckling behind me. 23

Chuckling? What the fuck….!!!

I turn around ready to punch whoever the fuck entered my room and even my apartment without my consent. I was not scared, I knew fighting skills so whoever the fuck he was gonna learn a lesson today. 49

I raised my fist while turning around and that’s when I felt hands on my waist and then I was being lifted up and then the next second, being pinned down on the bed with someone’s hands holding down my wrists above my head. 47

I opened my mouth to scream bloody murder, hoping Alex knew there was an intruder when the prick put his hand on my mouth.

I thrashed wildly, my screams muffling in his hand.. I can’t see a fucking thing.

I heard a chuckling and then someone’s breath on my ear. I stopped moving around. Taking deep breaths, trying to think a way to escape myself from his hold. I tried to make his face but all I saw was darkness.

Who the fuck he is?? What does he want? I was not going to be killed by a murderer. Never. 4

‘”Fiesty, huh?? ” the guy said. ‘Let me free then saw how fiesty i am you prick..’ I cuss him mentally .. 12

“But I don’t like fiesty. Tchtchtch… So I want you to listen to me carefully “

Never..

“I know you are thinking.. no never fucking no.. But believe me,cat . I am not a good person so do me and you a favour and listen carefully. No harm will be done”

That’s what they always said before killing their victims..

Fuck no… 2

I thrashed madly trying to get free of his hold,kicking my legs when I saw red.. No red not on anger. Like red color. Two red colored eyes. What the ..???!!!?? 12

My breath got stucked in my throat .. Red eyes? They glistened in the dark in an angry manner.. I freezed. 10

Scared? Hell yes.. What was he? Was this some kind of joke?

“Oh you wanted to make me angry? Now I’m fucking angry and it will do no good. ” he gritted out. 8

Then red eyes were gone.. All dark again .. Then I felt something on my neck.Like …teeth? TEETH?? Was he going to leave a Hickey? Then I felt a light pinch on my neck. Neck? Pinch?

My heart started to beat loudly. What was he doing?

I heard his chuckling.. Then his voice..

“You think I am going to bite you? Hahahhaha… You humans can’t move from there.. I am going to do more than biting,what about sucking all the blood from your veins until you become like a corpse? ” his voice rang in my ears. 90

What the hell was he saying? My eyes widen in fear.. My screams muffled in his hand..

“Oh you are scared now? Oh the fiesty cat is scared?” He mocked me..

“Now listen to me like a good cat and behave. Will you?” 44

“You go to the police and I will kill you”

“Repeat again in your mind.. If you ever say something to the police or anyone,you are going to be dead.. “

“No matter where you are ,I am going to hunt you down,first play with you like a cat and then kill you like a butcher.. Do you understand? And oh I always keep my promise .. ” 31

“And do you know why you aren’t going to say anything? ” he continued In a low whisper.

Then i saw again red eyes glistening,that was not the only thing i saw.. When the moon light peaked through my window and on his face and then I lost my shit ..

A monster , he was a monster. What was he?

I was being lifted and thrown like a rag doll.. I hit the wall and slumped down against it. 8

Then I screamed .. Scream so loud that my throat hurts..

End of flashbacks

Alex turns around and looks at me,a hand on her mouth ,eyes wide. Everything was like a blur,when she came here. I remember her soothing words and her calming me down.. I would have lost my shit if she hadn’t come here. But I lost my insanity again when she says her next words.

“We have to go to the police. We have proof now. They will believe me. He was here. I am not imagining any thing now. “She says while holding my shoulder..

Police….???!!!

‘You go to the police and I will kill you.’

His words ring through my ears.. No .. No..

“No ” I say in panick, moving my head in denial…

“NO WE ARE NOT. I AM NOT GOING TO POLICE.” I yell, pushing myself into the wall away from my her.

He was here because of her and threatening ME because of her.

I am not going to anyone.

No …I won’t..

I shake my head.. No…

“What?? What are you saying? We have to .. We have to go to the police so they believe me.. I can’t Let him go free when now I have the proof.” She says to me desperately.

Proof? No.. No..

“He Will Kill Me.. He Said To Me He Will Kill Me If If I Tell Anyone .. I Am Not Telling Anyone. No .. He Was Here Because Of You. He Will Kill Me Because Of You.” I yell at him

“I want you out of my house right this second.. I don’t want you in my house. ” I say to her, shaking my head.

“Please. Please. Don’t do this. Please. I’m begging you please. Help me .. ” she almost begs me , àadesperately.. Tears in her eyes. 21

“I-i-i…..” I trail off.. She is in danger. I can’t be a coward. She needs help,my heart contracts seeing her like this.. 5

“Please..please…!!” She sobs..

I lean my head back on the wall , closing my eyes tightly.. His words ring in my ears. Then his face comes into my vision those eyes..those….. 1

My thoughts trail off remembering his face.

My eyes snap open and I slump down against the wall.

“Please. I’m sorry… ” I whisper putting my head on my hands,closing my eyes..

“But I can’t please. I want to helps but I can’t try to understand–” my whispering gets cut off when she yells, 7

“YOU TRY TO UNDERSTAND. YOU HAVE TO HELP ME..!!” 46

“Please forgive me.. He is a… I don’t know what he is..just leave me.. Please I am soo sorry but leave just leave. Just leave.” I whisper again and again… 2

After a while, i hear the door closing in the distance… She is gone. I look up at the note then at my cat..

I sob .. She was the only one who was there for me every time.. He killed my cat, he can kill me also..

I cry and I don’t know for how long I just cry… 178

I don’t know how much time has passed when my tear ceased, i wipe my tears and standup.

I take a deep breath in. I walk inside the bathroom and look myself in the mirror. I splash water in my face. I have this fear , installed in me that I know ,will never be removed. 4

I take a towel and a bowl .I fill sink water in it and enter my room.. I stand in front of that note and instantly my heart constricts.

I take out the knife with a shaking hand , my other hand holding my cat. My whole body is shaking. Tears escape my eyes. I put my now death cat on the bedsheets then start to clean the bloody note with towel and water .. 24

Remove all the evidence . Everything.. Remove everything…

I keep chanting same mantra in my head again and again,tears streaming down my face.. My cat… I cry loudly.. 2

I throw the bloody towel on the bed also and make a ball of bedsheet with my cat and that towel in it.. Maybe I should bury my cat.. With heavy heart I make my way..

As I was about to leave my room ,my door bell rings. I jump in fear..

Who’s there? I’m not opening the door… I look down at my hands they are covered in blood along with the bloody bedsheet ..

Oh no…

I look around in panic .. What should i do? What should i do? Who’s out there?

Then I hear the knocking on my door..

“Ma’am .. Are you in there? I’m police officer Lary … Open the door…” 27

Fuckkkkkkk.. Alex called police .. Fuck… Shit shit shit… 75

My heart thumps wildly in my chest..

If you tell the police, i will kill you..

No no… I have to do something.. I run back to my room , then in the bathroom ..

I had to hide it.. Hide ? But what if they search the house… Think think you idiot…

I look at the upper window in my bathroom which opens in the alleyway with dumpster just below it.. 6

I look at the ball of bedsheet , my cat.. My cat.. More tears run down.. I’m so sorry but when the police leave I’ll get you back .. I’m sorry.. 17

With shaky hands I put the bedsheet on the window .. I close my eyes tight,my heart feeling pain in guilty.

I’m sorry catty.. 10

With that i push it outside. I hear the ‘dam’ .. I put my hand on my mouth to stop myself from crying loudly. 6

With that I move towards the sink and wash my hands and face.. I look at myself.. Clean.. 2

I look at my room.. Clean.. That’s it…

They are knocking rapidly on my door. I yell at them trying to look normal.

“Calm your horses down.. I’m coming.” But my voice is hollow and scratchy from crying..

I take a deep breath and then open the door…

ALEXANDRA POV: 32

“Calm your horses down. I’m coming.” I hear her reply..

I am confused at her reply.. When I left her , she was not okay.. She was scared but how could she reply like that..

We are thinking to break down the door because she was not opening it. I thought she would be scared and wouldn’t come to open it.. 1

Yes I tell the police.. Why? Because I am sure now that I am not imagining anything. It had happened, all the stalker things and now I have the proof in her room.. They will believe me now. They have to.. 228

The door opens and Emma is standing there with a frown on her face .

“Yes??” She snaps at Lary and then bores her eyes into me. What the hell? 8

“We are officer Lary and this is my partner Jones. May i come in ma’am? “

“Why ? What happened!” She says in an annoyed tone.

“It will be appropriate if we discuss it in your home rather than outside ma’am .” Lary replies, hardly..

Emma rolls her eyes and let us enter. 3

Lary tells everything to Emma what i had told them.. At some point, i see a flicker of fear and panic in her eyes.. But then she hides it and makes an annoyed face..

“What the hell are you saying?” She directs the question at me…

Me ? What the hell I’m saying?

“Please Emma .. Help us.. He won’t do anything to you… You help us so we can catch him please..” I say almost desperately to her..

“Help in what? Catch who? Are you out of your mind? ” she shakes her head on me.

“Nothing had happened like that officer , i don’t know what the bullshit she is saying.” She continues but she looks in my eyes,with regret …

“Bullshit? Uh? Wait .. Come with me in her room. There is a proof there. Come .. ” i say and move towards her room without waiting for their replies..

I look at the note.. Note? Where is the note? Her cat? Where is her cat? It was hanging here. Where it is? The wall is clean . what the hell???!!

I hear a cough behind me. I turn around Jones and Lary looking at me expectantly while Emma is looking down on the floor,standing behind them. She bends down her eyes on their backs. I don’t know what she is doing because she is half hidden behind them.

“Where is the note?” Jones asks me. I look at Emma when she lifts her head up and mouthed ‘I’m sorry’

I’m sorry ? For what? What is she saying sorry for?

Then it hit me.. The realization hits me Like a bullet in my chest.. She removes it.. I move backward and my back hit the wall..

“It was here in this wall,she removes it”. I reply them..

Emma sniggers.

“Haha yeah.. Right I remove the note? Aye? I was sleeping when you come with the officers almost breaking down my door .”

“We have come here with a warrant. We have to search your house.” Jones says. 6

Emma shrugs her shoulder before waving them off to continue..

Lary and jones go for the search while I look at Emma in disbelief.. She is avoiding eye contact with me now. 3

“Why did you do that?” 1

“Do what?”

“You know what i am talking about.”

“No. I don’t know and I don’t even want to know because you have lost your mind.” She says rolling her eyes ..

I close my eyes. No hope .. There is no hope…

Then everything happen like a blur they search the house,ask her questions, ask questions to her neighbours also,ask questions to me.

But nothing..no proof.. Lary and Jones advice me to go home and take rest and visit my psychiatrist tomorrow.. My lie of ‘visiting an ill friend’ also came out now all I see is disappointment in both Jones’ and Lary’s eyes ..

Now they won’t believe me at all… They leave the house.. Now it is just me and Emma. 8

She moves her hand behind her back and take something out.

The knife … The same knife with blood on it.. My eyes bulge out of my eye socket. Proof..here is the proof.. It is the thing she was picking up from the floor behind them.. 2

“Do you know ,why I am showing this to you?” She says in a low voice , her eyes sad.

I shake my head in ‘no’ …

“Because,i don’t want you to think you are imagining it or that you are psycho and all..” 36

“I want you to know,it had happened so you be careful and –” she sighs in mid sentence before continuing.

“-and i don’t know. I can’t help you.. He killed my cat. He will kill me if I tell anyone.. I am not ready to die now.. Please. I’m sorry.. I hope you forgive me for what I did.. But it is not easy for me.. I just can’t… ” she trails off ,crying again.. 42

I move towards her to comfort her. I know she has been scared. I don’t know what he did to her but she is so scared. She backs away from me and shakes her head. 24

“Please just go.. And don’t come back.” She whispers. 10

My heart breaks into million pieces. I can’t go anywhere now without the fear of making everyone’s life in danger.

A sudden thought crosses my mind.. Justin.. I can’t be with him.. His life can also be in danger.

But what if he is the one? I made him angry today. But he was okay when he left my house.

I don’t know.

I leave her house and make my way to my house. Where I know he will be watching me..
