Darkness scared me. Until him.

EXCERPT:
I turn towards the
club’s back entrance. The hairs on the back of my neck stand like needles. Is
this even due to cold anymore? I close my eyes, trying as much as possible to
scoot the haze away.
This isn’t real. My mind is playing dirty tricks on me. A false
premonition. A needless paranoia.
An intoxicating smell, different from garbage, invades my nostrils. As
if compelled by some invisible force, I open my eyes. My feet almost fail me. I
stagger and catch myself on a wall. My dizzy vision focuses on the tall man
standing between me and the club’s entrance.
All warmth leaves my bloodstream. An unknown force draws down my spine,
freezing my shoulder blades together.
It’s him.
The stranger is all in black. The hood he wears shadows his face,
obscuring his features.
A faceless Grim Reaper.
And he’s here for me.
Oh. God.
“Good evening, Mae.”
I swallow at the deep, familiar voice and clasp my hands together to
prevent them from shaking.
“H-how do you know my name?”
He tilts his head to the side but doesn’t answer.
Ugh. I hate the stutter on top of my slur. I’m coming off as an easy victim.
Who the hell would ask such a question under these circumstances? My top
priority is to run. Every cell in my being screams at me to turn and leave.
Peeking sideways, I seek the easiest way out. The situation doesn’t play
in my favour. For one, my intoxicated brain is so slow at deciphering
information. For two, the choice of the back entrance was a lousy one.
The stranger approaches silent and slow. Firm with intent. Like a
painter would chase their muse.
“No, no, no...” I move two wobbly steps back. I’m not moving fast
enough, and the stranger will be on me any second.
“Help–” I attempt to scream, but my heel catches a crack in the
pavement. I fall so fast, so hard. My head bumps onto a sharp edge.
Cheek resting against the cold ground, my eyes prickle with tears as
intense pain assaults my head. My skull seems to have been cracked into two
separate entities. My lungs no longer receive air as my vision doubles then
triples.
In my peripheral vision, the stranger’s blurred face smirks.
I was scared the first time I met him. Now, I’m terrified.
Darkness sucks me in its clutches.

Three years ago, I fled the country to escape Arthur Rhodes' clutches.
He was too raw.
Too dangerous.
Just too much.

Or that's what I tell myself.
