I then say: Oh my god, so I’m not the only one who dealt with any of this….
Aunty says: Of course not dearest. Now let’s eat and try to clear our minds.
Brenda mentions: See Cindy, I told you. That’s why I knew about what you’ve been going through.
I say: Oh Brenda, what would I do without you?
That next day, I decided to do more investigation. Brenda, who was my protector, drove me around town and to my old town. I interviewed a lot of women who could've been next.
I then asked: So how did you know who he was?
A random lady named Lucy, who was a local, told me that she just knew the look in his features. It was like she had seen him before, which is crazy to say, but….it's true.
I then demanded her: Tell me, you said you knew his phone number. Even though he had encrypted it at one point. What was it?
She then answers: I have it on paper, I'll give it to you now, okay?
I then thanked her: Great help, thanks.
I spent hours doing this and did get good information. I went to the police station again and showed the lady his phone number .
I say: Here's his contact info, miss.
The police woman thanked me: Thanks, I'll be needing this.
(She does call and he answers)
Alan answers: Haha, yes officer?
The policewoman asked him: How did you know I called?
Alan says sinisterly: It's this little thing called prediction and instinct, my dear friend.
The police woman asked him:" What are you a vampire?
Alan says: Sort of, in a lot of ways unimaginable. The way I seduce, feed off flesh and stay in control.
The Police woman threatens him:" You'll be caught sooner or later and I'll put my exorcist crew on your ass, you hear me, you pervert?
Alan then answers: Oh yes, sugar. I hear you.
The Police woman then says: Don't try and flirt with me you god awful beast.
Alan says: Try and stop me, sweetheart. Until later. (hangs up)
I then told the police officer: I told you he's a sweet talker. That's how he gets away with so much.
She then says: Not surprised. My little sister dealt with the same thing. She had to be put in a straitjacket. Poor thing, nobody believed her. It was my fault.
I then say: Listen, I know how you feel. It's not pretty, it could happen to you, it could happen to me….anybody.
She starts to (sighs in frustration and says) Just make sure you're safe at times. You can go now. Our session is closed.
I then say: Okay then. Have a great day.
(That night I tried to work the phone booth. Somebody jammed it. I then heard footsteps behind me. It was him)
I then started to whimper…….Get away from me….
Alan stands there begging me on is knees: Why are you so scared of me all the time? I missed you, okay? I want you back.
I then cried out loud: Don't come any closer! (I rage at his ass)
Alan then challenges me and says: Make me stop. You don't have the guts.
I then told him: Bye, Alan. We're through. You don't love me. You tried to blow me up at that hotel.
Alan then replies: I can explain, please. Let me finish!
I then cried for help: (I started to run towards Brenda's car as she screamed but, thankfully, since he saw her, he just walked away and grinned at me)
Brenda says: That was close! Next time, let me find the phone booth.
I then replied: Oh, like he wouldn't hurt you!
Brenda says: He wouldn't because he knows I'm a demon hunter. I've always been. I dared a vampire b***h to take my man and I stabbed her in the heart! Come on let's go, let's get outta here!
I then say: Good, we're bugging out. Finally.
The next day, we actually, a week later, Brenda & I went to the bar. We did more investigation.
Brenda says: I don't wanna be here. My girls are here.
I then replied: You're gang girls? You were the boss?
Brenda says: Yeah, a female gangster back in my highschool days. I didn't wanna tell Aunty. She would've died from a heart attack.
I then stated: Wooh, there they are.
One of the girls says: Brenda? We haven't seen you since freshman year of college. What are you up to, young buck?
Brenda answers: Saving my friend.
The second girl gets smart with Brenda: Oh from what? Another lame vampire?
(Both girls laugh)
Brenda then answers: Yeah ….something like that.
The first girl says: So I heard it's been an incubus after your girlfriend.
Brenda questions them: What did you say?
The second girl got smart again and asked: You're lesbians, right?
Brenda then gets mad and says: Even if we were, why the f**k would you care? Your'e one yourself?
The first girl says: Okay we're sorry! But there's no way some spawn is just gonna show himself like that. Bullshit!
Brenda then begs them to believe her: You have to believe me, it's true.
The second girl fools around and yells out to the incubus: Hey incubus! You f*****g freak, show yourself!!!
The first girl fools around with me and cries out: Booo!
I then shouted out: Ack! Quit your s**t!
Brenda then has enough and says: Hey! Don't make me cut your throat, b***h. (Grabs the second girl’s neck and holds a knife at her)
Then the second girl begs her to let her go and says: Brenda, you don't have to do this. I was joking.
Brenda says: Don't!
The second girl says: Don't hurt me, Brenda. Everything is fine.
I then try to break it up: Brenda please, you're scaring me! (I then cry and exit the bar)
Brenda says: Cindy, wait!
(Both of the girls are then confused.)
Brenda grabs me by the arm and demands me. Don't leave me! Don't you dare.
I then warn her: Let me go, you're scaring me.
Brenda then says I'm sorry, I'm stressed!
I then replied: I-I know.
Brenda then asked me: Then if you know, then why leave me?
I then stated: I don't want to catfight right now, so I'm walking away.
Brenda then says: We will be in a hot minute if you don't keep walking away from me!
(Group of guys then start to annoy us both) Oh Catfight! Sexy!
Brenda says: Get lost, weirdos.
I then say: Yeah" screw off.
I then tell her: I'm sorry Brenda, I feel like dying right now. I don't know what to do.
Brenda then tells me: Don't say that. Come on, Cindy.
As she drove me back to her Aunt's house. I saw Alan's car passing her house. Luckily, he didn't see us, so he still had no idea that we were staying there all this time.
I then say: Brenda, I don't wanna fight with you right now. Okay?
Brenda says: Oh we're talking about this. That sicko just passed my Aunt's house! I get he doesn't know yet, but he finds out eventually.
I then replied: Sure, goodnight.
Brenda then questions me: Cindy?
I then cry and tell her to leave me alone….
Brenda then says: I just worry….is all.
I then replied: I don't know what to do.
Brenda then tells me to come here. (she Holds me tight)
I then say: I'm done for.
Brenda replies: I won't let him hurt you anymore. I promise you. He'll be f*****g sorry.
CHAPTER 4: CINDY'S NEW HIDEOUT
As we said our last goodbye to our Aunty. Brenda had a good idea to make me stay at her ex boyfriend's hideout inside a nightclub. It was pure aesthetic, the smoke, the neon lights, silver gated walls, the lip-shaped sofa and free champagne? Gosh, what a dream I loved for temporarily.
Brenda had explained everything to me and how I could survive here. "Listen, so if that guy comes he will be surprised you'll be here. If he tries to hurt you, people will be watching anyway. So relax, have some cocktails, cakes, bbq, anything you want here.
I then stated: Sounds Wonderful.
Her boyfriend asked: Hey, Brenda honey. Mind if you make love tonight?
Brenda says: Maybe, alright, but be gentle. I'm more fragile than you think.
(Both chuckles)
Everything was cool. I went to night movie drives, went to clubs, oriental restaurants. I was living my life. That spring. We decided to spend Easter in Las Vegas. We went on a trip to New Jersey and went on rides and ate funnel cake. After that, we stayed at a Vegas hotel.
Brenda asked me: So Cindy, how's your insomnia?
I answer: It's getting there. I'm having a ball. (I sip on my champagne in the hot tub)
Brenda says: Good, glad to hear. So tell me, what are your biggest flaws about guys?
I replied: Well, the ones I've dated were always up to trouble. I don't know why, only Thomas was the good one.
Brenda asked me: I see, you really loved him. Didn't you?
I then say: Yes, I still do. I miss him ….(I started to cry a bit)
Brenda then states: I know that was rough, catching a fever. I thought it was just a common cold, but obviously it turned out to be something more fatal.
I then say: I know. I'll just keep enjoying myself to avoid that thought. You know, get crazy, party a little.
Brenda states: Hey, we should call an escort service and get hot pizza delivery guys.
I then add: With extra cheese and Italian sausage please, extra large. (I started to Laugh)
Brenda then laughs and says: Shut the hell up, girl. Look at you sassed up like that. What the hell did you drink?
I then answered: Obviously paradise. Haha!
Brenda asked me: Oh let me guess, you mean s*x on the beach?
I then say: Hmmm, maybe. Hehe.
Brad, Brenda’s boyfriend, then says: Looks like you girls are having a good time.
Brenda says: Oh yes, girl talk honey.
Brad says: Ay I see you checking out that white boy over there!
Brenda says: Oh gosh Brad, you know I prefer chocolate like you. Don't be delusional. Haha!
Brad: Ah well, I can't argue with you there now, can I?
(They both kiss)
I then mention: Hey lover birds? You're waiter just burnt your meals. (Snickers)
Brad says: Oh no they didn't!
Brenda also says: I am suing that lady right now!
(Both walk to the food stand)
I decided to read a book on food recipes. I learned how to make frozen yogurt, which has always been my favorite snack. I had a strawberry smoothie with banana and raisins. Gee, what more could I ask for?
A day later, we decided to stay a bit longer, like for 2 days, since everything turned out to be fun.
I then decided to go to the movies on our last day. I took the cat with me and sat him on my lap. It wasn't the typical theater, it was a drive-thru. Unfortunately, a 1960's indie film about an incubus popped up. The poor girl got raped. Everyone said to have nightmares about all of that afterwards. "Brenda? I don't think we should watch this. I'm going to get more popcorn."
Brad makes fun of me: Go ahead and get scared by a bunch of kids in Halloween costumes, like geeze. Chicken, much?
I then say: Haha, whatever.
As I went to get my popcorn. I saw a weird shadow with goat horns and wings. I screamed and dropped my popcorn. There was nothing there afterwards. I was confused. I then saw Alan's face behind me as I screamed, but then I woke up. It was strange because the movie we were watching didn't even play. It was a freaking soap opera that was on the whole time!
Brenda says: Oh my gosh, Cindy! You missed the part where Patty slapped David!
Brad says: Insomnia sucks ass, man. haha, yoo!
I then said: Oh shut up you too. I don't even like soap operas, that sucks way more ass. (I laugh it off)
Brenda asked me: So what was the nightmare, Cindy?
I explained: Look, I saw Alan. Near the popcorn stand. He was wearing a mint green coat but he had horns and fangs.
Brad says: That's one freaky ass dude, Cindy. Seriously.
I then replied: I know, he's a pain in the ass. Thank God he ain't here.
Brenda says: I'm happy to hear that s**t. (Smokes a joint, she asked if I want a huff and I take one)
Brad asked us: Girls, girls, hey, what about me?
I then say: I don’t think so, Brad!
Brad says: Harsh asses. Haha!
I then joked back at him: Oh Shut up, Brad!
Brenda says: The movies are finally over.
I then say: Thank God!
(Both laugh at me)
So we eventually had a flight back to Brad's club. We get cozy as he manages his clients.
I just sit back, relax and watch more TV with Brenda and little Thomas. Everything then went black, it was so weird. Brad finally solved the problem. Someone had jammed the light switch.
Brad says: Oh gosh, I saw him! It was that creepy ass dude trying to find girl Cindy.
Brenda says: I knew it. He'll play for this. This is terrible.
I then said: Well, I really thank you guys for looking after us.
Brad says: Of course. I hate men who prey on young women. That's one sick ass motherfucker. I'm getting myself a drink. Be right back.
Brenda says: Oh Brad….well, well, well. Just hang tight. Okay Cindy. Me and Brad will be on a look out for him and will get the police if we see him.
I reply: Hey thanks Brenda, you're a natural.
I then fell asleep and woke up the next day feeling like I had this very weird sensation. As if I had s*x. Strange enough, I found Alan's boxers and cologne on the bed next to me. I also saw the window was open, so I closed and locked it tight. I couldn't believe he just snuck in here and raped me. I felt my v****a bleeding uncontrollably and my pelvis stung. It was horrible, I felt like crying. I told Brenda as I cried in her arms. Brad had got a bunch of salt and placed it on the edges throughout the whole building. Brenda then
put a lot of essential oils that were supposed to chase away demons. Since then, nothing has happened and I'm glad it didn't. I decided to go out for a short walk, so I went to buy some seafood platters from the shack. I ate my frozen strawberry yogurt and went to
go ask an elderly woman if the church was still open nearby.
I then asked a local: Excuse me mam? Is the church on 60th Ave still open?
She then says that she knows that it closes earlier on weekends, so I hurried and caught a cab. It wasn't too late. I saw it was only 4pm. The guy parked his car in front of the church building.
Taxi says: That would be 20 bucks please.
I then said: Ugh, alrighty then. (I gave it to him)
CHAPTER 5: MEET ME AT THE CLUB
This time, I decided to go out for a while and go to the beauty salon, clothing stores and hair supply store just to change my look so that my identity can be safe from now on. As I finished, I received a call from my boss. "Cindy, I'm fed up. I keep receiving calls from that pervert! If I had the chance, I'd burn the damn phone. He keeps asking for you but he knows damn well you're not here and for a good reason!" I then say "I know boss, this is dreadful. I'll take care of this in some way, somehow." He then replied "I appreciate you, Cindy. Farewell." I then said "More like good luck."
I went back to play some pool with Brenda and her boyfriend Brad. They were having fun as we usually do together. Brenda then told Brad everything. "Brad, it's true the guy is real. Just be on the lookout for him, okay? I don't want Cindy to get hurt." Brad replies "This sounds chaotic, man. I don't know about this. My strip club business could go to shreds here. Hey, but I'll keep an eye out for that pervert. I don't like predators AT ALL." Brenda then says "Aw thanks babe, that's what I wanted to hear." They both kiss.
Looking at their relationship, I always wanted that healthy kind of bond which I've sadly never got to experience. It made me depressed and sad. This is what I got? A psycho kid from the block, a jock bully in junior high, a cheater in college and now some demonic dude? Please….It was a beautiful spring, often raining, but the sun would gleam a bit, which gave me energy and hope that everything would be okay. I took two glasses of vodka and took a long nap afterwards.
Everything was pure, fun and vibrant again. Great music, hot male Strippers, everything.
Brenda asked me: So Cindy, how are you enjoying your lifestyle now?
I answered: Awesome! I'm thrilled, man.
Brenda says: Good, I thought this was more of your style. I'm glad you decided to change your identity too. For now you'll be called Becky.
I then said: Perfect, that was my mother's name.
Brenda says: Wow, I guessed pretty well though?
I then say: Yeah. Hey, I'm sorry about us going at each other before. That felt horrible. I don't want anything like to happen to us again, okay?
Brenda replies: No way, that scared me too. I felt like kicking the s**t outta you, but of course didn't do that. I don't like to hurt another woman, but only if I have to.
I then say: Well, that's just common sense.
Brenda says: That's true. Look, I gotta go, Brads taking me to a dinner date. I'll call you later, okay? Make sure to meet me here at 9pm. Okay princess?
I wave goodbye to Brenda: Okay. Have fun.
(Brenda walks out)
There I was, all alone. But I did listen to some music. By 4pm, the club upstairs was packed. I peeked at the male dancers, they were pure entertainment. I couldn't stop looking at. After an hour, I decided to go to sleep. I woke up in about 3 hours. It was 7:15 pm. I headed back to church again late that Sunday and decided to speak to a priest.
Priest: Lady, what you're experiencing is a real threat. Here's what you need. A list of items that can weaken and even kill your satanic predator. For an incubus, they hate smoke and acids. This gastly powdered tar mixed with this lethal poison does just fine. Hold on to this and don't lose it. Put it in his drink and watch him suffer.
I then say: Oh gosh, thanks! I know where to hide it.
As I walked out of the building, I saw a note in my purse. It was not too strange, since I assumed it was Brenda. It said to meet her at 9pm at the hideout aka club. I sighed and went back there. That's odd, the front door was locked. I then entered the boiling room which was in the back of the warehouse club…. strangely I heard that same song playing "Kiss from a," which I swore I played for him on my piano and he remembered it. The door shut behind me…. LOCKED. I then knew this was a trap. I whimpered, please not again.
Alan begs me to come back once again, saying: What have I done to deserve this? Listen to me, don't cry. I don't want to see any more tears, I just want
