The bird

...*Thud* My eyes fly open as soon as I heard the noise downstair in my house I got scared and sat up on my bed slowly. “Who is there?” I slowly make my way downstair, my legs are trembling in fear. As I got downstair there was no one. But the large window by the sink was open. I walked towards the window looking out it, my heart is beating faster and faster as I felt like I saw a large shadow of a man standing behind my car. I took a step back fearing of all these and rush back to my room calling Ciara. *Ring ring ring…* “what happened to you now at this late hour?” Ciara answered the calling yawing. She might be sleeping right now but god.. My ass is f*cking here in fear. “I think a man broke into my house.” I murmur looking out of the window from my room staring at the same spot from before. “Venice?” ...

I swallow my breathe as my throat went dry “I swear I even saw my large window was open and I saw a shadow of a man near my garage.” I heard a sigh through the phone, Ciara has been my best friend since my first year of college. She always helped me while I was struggling and she hates it when I hide something From her. “Lock the door in your room. I’ll come tomorrow I promise.” There is concern in her voice I rub a hand over my temple looking between the clock and my room’s door. “Alright… I’ll see you tomorrow.” I hang up the call and get back to my bed. I’m unable to fall asleep I was still looking out of the window. Thinking about the shadow of that man. Who is he? Why was he here?

...A notification comes in my phone making me startled. I unlock my phone and saw a text from a unknown number....

^^^”Can’t sleep little bird?”^^^

my breath hitches on my throat I started looking around my room if there’s anyone watching me but I found no one. I stare at the text confused who send and how he or she knows I can’t sleep? I bring myself to text back to the person “Who are you?”

there’s no reply for few minutes… the clock was ticking as I got another text from that number.

”Soon… You’ll get to know me, bird. Be patient till then.”

I started getting goosebumps I get up from my bed and looked out of the window again.

...That man… it’s him I know. What the f*ck is wrong with you Veni? Just block the number....

^^^jesus, I don’t even know him then why can’t I bring myself to block him? Why am I so scared?^^^

I stare at my phone screen again and took a screenshot as a evidence for the future if anything this man does again.

...“Taking screenshots, little bird? Whom will you show it too?”...
