Brielle's Pov : Asher Of course. Red eyes , black hair , Elites Jacket who else can it be if not Johannas Asher? The heartthrob and star hockey captain of our college. But what the hell is he doing here? That dead man..did Asher.. “Do you..want to help him?”His deep and rough voice fills the silent alley as he looks back at the body before looking at me.“Let me rephrase my words. Did you see anything blondie?” My voice is stuck somewhere in my throat as i move my lips but no sound comes out. The nervousness is making my heart go crazy as i tremble under his merderous gaze. He looks like he will snap my neck any moment for fun if i give him an unsatisfactory answer. “Speak before i take away your freedom to.”He say’s nudging my hand on the ground with his shoes in a bored and disdainful manner. I immediately shake my head as hard as i can as i slowly force my heart to calm down. I have to get out of here. I can’t stay here and risk getting killed too. I have to get myself out of here without getting hurt. This area is too deserted, no one will help me if i end up getting hurt while running. “I..wont tell anyone. I-i didn’t see anything. I really didn’t..”I shutter nervously, almost clicking my teeth’s as i look up at him with fear. “Really? Then why are you shuttering and trembling like a scared kitten?”He asks almost mockingly but there’s no hint of mock or humour on his face. His face is devoid of any expression making him look like a devil. “I..i..”I shutter as i look behind him at the men lying lifelessly in the alley and my heart fills with sorrow and regret. It’s only then i realise that there are more people in the alley. I don’t dare to waste a second and risk getting caught as i suddenly kick Asher in the nuts as hard as i can before i quickly get up and grab my bag, running in the opposite direction as fast as i can. An angry and devil like laughter echos behind me causing my heart to drum.“Run little mouse. Because if i catch you, i will paint your little neck red .” I don’t dare look back as i run for my life, regretting my decision to take this route home. Darn it. Not only did i witness a murder but this psychopath is also threatening to come after me? What kind of ill fate is this?! The next day- “Run little mouse. I am coming to paint your neck red with blood.”The red eyes stare into mine soul, shining in the darkness with a murderous glint. My eyes snap open and i spring up from my sleep, sitting up while panting. Again, it’s the third time i am seeing such nightmares in just two days. I close my eyes and brush my hair back, trying to push the images of that event away. I escaped that night. Or more like they let me. They didn’t follow after me at all. Which made me more anxious. I was so scared that they will come after me that i even ditched my small apartment and moved into college dorms. What? He is a freaking murdurer. I wasn’t going to stay in my old run down apartment with no security and wait for him to come and kill me. “Briel? You okay?”Yovonne, my room mate and a long time friend stands beside my bed, touching my shoulder lightly with a tight frown. Fine can’t define the state i am have been in recently. The night i escaped, i had a dream that he found me and killed me. After that night, the nightmares aren’t so bad but a nightmare is still a nightmare. I have been barely able to function properly. Even at school i am worried that he will see me and come after me. But whats odd is that i haven’t seen him at all. Is it because i did a too good job at keeping a low profile? “Yeah..”I pant as i take a few deep breaths of calm my heart before flashing her a small smile.“I-i am fine. Whats the time?” “Almost 9. I am already running late for class. I made some omelette for you. It’s in the kitchen.”She say’s grabbing her bag and books, heading towards the door in a hurry. “Oh and Daniel told me to remind you that he has a match today. Byee”She say’s leaving with a small wave. Oh yeah..Daniel has a match today. It’s against our college so the match should be held in our campus. Wait.. My eyes widen as i realise something. Our college.. I gulp nervously. Isn’t Asher the captain of our college’s ice hockey team? That means Daniel will play against him. But how am i supposed to go then? He will recognise me if he sees me. Or maybe he wont? Shit, maybe isn’t a word meant for now. Should i go or not go? I did promise Daniel that i will go to cheer for him but.. I gulp and rub my forehead, feeling an incoming headache. My phone on the table starts ringing and i sigh, finally getting out of bed, still in my night shorts and top. “Hey.”I greet taking the call without hesitation. “Good morning babygirl, you remember i have a match today right?”He asks with a cheerful tone and i can already imagine the bright smile on his face. “Well, you did tell Yov to remind me. And you also called me so it’s basically impossible to forget it.”I say leaning back against the table. “I have no other option. My girlfriend is a forgetful little pig.”He snorts and i scoff.“Who are you calling a pig? Do you want to die?” “Fine, even if my baby is a pig, she is the most beautiful pig in the world.”He says in a spoiling tone and i roll my eyes with a smile. “You flirt.I am getting late, i will hang up now.” “Fine make sure to come on time! Don’t you dare be late!”He say’s and i bite my lower lip before sighing.“Yeah..” How can i tell him that i wont go when he is so excited and happy? He will sulk for a whole month if i don’t go.. Ugh forget it. It’s just a few hours. I can just hide in the crowd. Yeah, i can do that. For dan.
