583 Lunatic* (1/2)

”Kelly? Kelly?! What's wrong?” Abi's voice had become faint background noise as she stared in horror at the man standing by the door. H-how could he…

The man's gaze swept lustily over her, and Kelly finally realized her nakedness. She gasped in shock, but fear had immediately replaced every shame she felt at that very moment. Because Tristan's eyes had settled on her neck and chest and the piercing, sharp glares told Kelly he was staring at her kiss marks. Warning bells frantically rang inside her head, and her survival instinct immediately kicked in.

She ran towards the bathroom as fast as she could and locked it behind her. She was breathless as her whole body slammed against the door with a loud sound. She couldn't help but tremble. The look in Tristan's eyes terrified her. He had the eyes of a maniac blazing with utter anger. Kelly even felt the kind of danger powerful enough to make her feel nauseated. She knew she was in grave danger. She must escape, or else Tristan will…

Frantically, Kelly grabbed the bathrobe. Her clothes were all in her closet, and there's nothing inside the bathroom but robes. She tied the bathrobe tightly with trembling hands and then looked for something to use as a weapon.

She couldn't see anything useful. Damn it!

As she cursed, she finally remembered the phone she'd been gripping so hard in her hand. Abi still didn't end the call.

”Kelly! What's wrong?!” Yelled Abi, and Kelly's fear began to ease up a little.

”Abi, Tristan is –”

A loud bang echoed. It was as if the man outside had a large and powerful hammer. She knew the door would soon break. Kelly's eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth.

”What's going on? Where are you?! Tell me, Kelly!”

Kelly struggled to find her voice. ”I'm inside my apartment, Abi.” She said. Somehow, she managed to speak clearly.

Even though Alexander was a vampire, she didn't think that the man would arrive before Tristan breaks the door. She could see Tristan's about to break in. If she wanted to survive this without him touching her, she had to escape on her own. If she could escape from this room, even if they chase her, at least she could give Alexander time to arrive. But how? How could she escape?

Another bang and the door began to crack open forcefully. Kelly looked around, looking for something. And then another series of deafening loud bangs, and the door finally opened.

Kelly stood there frozen as the maniac entered. His eyes were the most terrifying thing Kelly had seen in her life. Why? Why was this person like this?

He searched the bathroom as if he was looking for someone.

”That's strange,” his stomach-churning voice echoed, ”where did he go? Your marks are fresh. The men never let anyone inside your house.”

”I think…” Kelly steeled herself. ”didn't you check every corner of my house?” she said cautiously. If she could make him check the veranda, she'll have time to escape.

But he smirked, a sickening smirk. ”How slow do you think I am. Your house isn't big, so this is the last place I haven't checked.”

”Are you sure you checked properly?” Kelly didn't know how but she found herself brave talking back, and her voice didn't sound strange. ”Are you saying that he's not here inside my house?”

Tristan scoffed. Kelly was praying he would go and check again, but suddenly, Tristan attacked her. He was fast, elusive, and strong that Kelly's hardened nerves failed to react fast.

His hands grabbed her shoulders, and he pushed her against the wall. The impact was so strong Kelly felt like fainting. The phone in her hand fell on the floor.
