Y/N's POV

Something is definitely out there, I think someone is there. Should I go check by myself?

Walking out of my room, I slowly walked toward the main door, careful not to make any noise.

The moment I opened the door, a cool breeze hit my skin, It felt so good, so refreshing. Inhaling the fresh air, I closed my eyes.

It felt different, I could let myself imagine that I'm in a different place, in a different situation, a different life, I felt free.

Remembering what brought me here, I walked to the street. looking around, I can see that nothing is here.

I think my mind is playing tricks on me. I look around once more to be sure.

But now I can see something, It's a person. He's standing not so far away from me but not so close either, but just enough for me to see him.

I don't even need to think twice, It's him.
I can't forget his face, even though I'm trying, I know it's him. He was just standing there, looking at me.

I felt my heartbeat rise, suddenly it was hard to breathe, he came for me, didn't he?

I feel like I'm going to faint, my heart beats so fast in a way I don't think it is even possible.

I don't think my heart can take it, I can't take it.

My legs started to tremble, slowly making me lose my balance, I can feel myself falling, It's going to hurt, a lot.

I closed my eyes, waiting for the strong hit. But it never came.

Opening my eyes, I looked around to see that I was in my room again.

How did I get back here?

My heart still beats so fast, I feel as if I ran for miles.

Standing up I tried walking back and forth in the small space I have, in an attempt to make my heartbeat normal again and to calm myself down.

It was just a dream...

It felt so real, I was so sure I saw him. It felt weird dreaming about someone, considering the fact, that I don't remember when was the last time that I dreamed about someone in particular.

I'm pretty sure it's because he was on my mind a lot.

I can't forget what he told me that night, and it makes me even more terrified.
I hope he forgot about me, as he said, I'm just one of many witnesses.

I need to seriously stop thinking about this, it would not make things any better.

Taking some clothes from my bag, a hairbrush, and a toothbrush, I walked out of my room.

Just as I walked out of the room, I saw this woman sitting on the sofa, with an alcoholic drink in her hand staring at nothing, again.

Trying not to make any noise, I closed the door behind me and looked around to find the bathroom.

Well, I guess because there are only four rooms here and I already know what three of them are, it's supposed to be the door next to mine.

Before I could open the bathroom door, I heard another door open, making me turn around.

The man got out of his room, stumbling as he walked. I'm sure he's drunk as well.

It scares me, when people are drunk they are not aware of what they are doing.

"You have 10 minutes to organize, and then make us breakfast", He looked dead serious.

I just nodded in response and went inside the bathroom. I took a short shower, the water wasn't hot, so I showered with cold water. I felt that my body would just go numb.

When I stepped out of the shower my entire body was freezing. Quickly I put on my clothes, feeling a little bit warm again, then I brushed my teeth and washed my face.

While brushing my hair I looked at myself in the mirror.

I can't believe I'm actually here, it still feels like it's not real, but it is...

Letting out a heavy sigh, I walked out of the bathroom and went to the kitchen.

I need to make them something, but what? Should I ask them? I should just make something, anything, it's not a big deal.

I made the first thing that came to my mind, scrambled eggs. I prepared the food and put it on two plates on the table, they were already seated in front of each other.

"You can make yourself something small and eat it in your room, then come back here and we will tell you about your job for today".

The woman said, and they shortly after started to eat. I made myself the same thing and went to my room.

After I finished eating I was afraid to walk out there, I don't want to do this job, it doesn't sound too safe, mostly because it's here. But it's not like I have any other option.

Walking out of the room, I saw them both sitting on the sofa, talking with each other.

I walked up to them, too afraid to say something. I waited for them to notice me, which didn't take long.

"Good, you're here, sit", the man said.

I sat on the sofa, not looking at them at all, just looking at my hands while nervously playing with them.

"You have for now only one place to clean today, but stuff can always change, and it could be more than one house.

You will go to the grocery store first to buy some things we need, and when you'll be back, we'll tell you where you're cleaning today"

Hearing him say that made me think about something.

Maybe I should try to run away? It could be my opportunity to leave, to live differently.

But I have nowhere else to go to, that's the only place I have. I wish I could go from here, but I can't.

The woman gave me a list of stuff they need and told me how to get there,

"When you walk through the alley, turn right and then go straight, you will already see the store".

"Thank you", I said and opened the door. Before I closed it I heard the man say,

"Hurry up, you also got work to do, you're not going to live here for free".

I closed the door and started walking. His words hurt, but it shouldn't.

I guess it would be nice to feel welcomed and wanted, not having to feel grateful for living in what supposed to be 'your home'.

I now stood in front of the alley, the same alley everything happened at, the same alley that this man lost his life at.

I don't want to walk here again, but I have to.

As I walked through the alley, I felt a chill run up my body, remembering everything that happened here, I started feeling bad.

I saw that the body was no longer here, someone took the body? Or maybe they took care of it? Does it mean they were here again? I hope they weren't.

I started walking faster and went out of the alley, I turned right and walked straight. It would be alright, I don't need to worry.

I looked at the list to see what was written in it,

'Alcohol (any kind) 6 bottles
Bread
Energy drinks 8
Milk'

Well, except for the alcoholic drinks, this list would have been a completely normal list.

Thinking back to 'my job', I am scared. I hope I would be able to handle this work, It really sounds-

What was that? Looking around I saw no one was here, but I was sure I heard something...

It may be nothing, don't overthink.

Taking a deep breath, I kept walking, but immediately stopped when I heard footsteps, it came from behind me.

I don't know why but I felt stuck in my place like my legs were glued to the ground, I couldn't move them.

The footsteps got closer and closer until I felt a presence behind me.

I didn't dare to move, holding my breath, I didn't want to move an inch.

I felt his breath close to my ear, sending a chill down my spine. I am terrified, my heart beats so fast, I don't know how to calm it down.

"I told you I'll come back for you kitten"

Is all I heard before everything went black.
