Deadly Obsession

Chapter 16

Last Chapter...

Somebody knocked on my door and I saw the worried face of my mother but she is not alone... She is with the two guys that I wouldn't want to see here in Brooklyn.

"Oh, Helena! My baby... I am here with Julian and Michael. Both of them volunteered to drive me here to Brooklyn when they learned that you're here." my mum hugged me but my eyes were glued to the cousins who were both staring at me. One with disgust clearly written on his face and one with longing...

"Mom..." I can't find any words to say. I hugged her back as I stared back at the two boys in front of me.

"Why did you run away? You made me worry! Did you know that I can't even sleep at night because I kept thinking where is my baby?" She tried to sound angry but anxiety is very evident on her voice.

"I am safe and alive. That's what matters most." I said and adjusted my eyeglasses. I won't cry. Especially not in front of these guys.

Julian smirked at me while Michael just stood stiffly.

"It is a good thing that you and your daughter is reunited at last, Mrs. Blackthorn." One of the police officers approached us.

"Yes. I am so glad that you called me. Michael here, the student council president of Jacksonville high-that is the school Helena is currently attending- already told me that he found Helena is in here through his Personal Investigator but she just disappeared and he is still tracking her home address. The two of them, he and his cousin, Julian helped me get here using Julian's car."

"Very good coincidence, huh." The policeman nodded.

"My PI is very good but we did not find Helena right away because we had no clue on where she is going. We actually needed to scan through the 1000 miles radius around Jacksonville in search of a teenage lady with long brunette hair and brown eyes." Michael said stiffly.

"You should also admit that your PI is an old man." Julian chuckled beside him. Michael glared at his cousin but the latter just ignored him.

"We are going home now, Helena." My mother told me in a very soothing manner. I guess they already told her about the killings that happened around here. I suddenly remembered Luke. I hope he would wake up soon.

The ride home went very fast. One moment, I am hugging my mother and the next, I am already at the backseat of Julian Ashcroft's expensive car.

I stayed silent while my mother chirped happily with the two boys that I am actually wary of. Months may have passed but I will never forget that Julian is an asshole and his cousin is a possible psychotic killer.

I saw our neighbors peer through their windows as Julian drove the car into the neighborhood.

I closed my eyes and fisted my hands. I know that it's really a bad idea for me to go back to this God forsaken town.

It's for your mum, Helena. I chanted repeatedly inside my head. I sighed.

I jumped out of the car the moment it stopped in front of our apartment and ran inside. I have my own key so i did not bother to wait for my mum.

I breathed in deeply once I am on the confines of my room. Nothing changed inside my room even though it's been more than three months ever since I ran away.

The posters of my favorite bands still hang on my bedroom walls and I could not help but smile softly as I looked at them. If there's one thing that I missed here except my mum. That is my bedroom.

I suddenly felt dead tired after just standing for five minutes. I decided that I need to take a shower and have some nap.

I immediately stripped myself of my Fall Out Boy shirt and plain brown ankle length skirt and took a long cold shower.

I went out of my bedroom just clad in my towel when I saw something that is not in here earlier. It may be very small but it stood out against the white covers of my bed.

I approached the thing that lay at the middle of my small bed.

A fresh stalk of lavender.

Cold fear crept inside my chest as I stared at the thing. "God..." I whispered. He knows that I'm here. He was here while I am taking a shower. Hell! He may have even watched me strip earlier. I hugged myself as if I can protect myself from whoever he is if he is still in here.

(Somebody's POV)

I grinned when I saw my Helena hugged the small white towel against her body. Tiny droplets of water were dripping down her bare arms and her unblemished legs on display. She's not wearing her oversized eyeglasses and her brown eyes were like wide chocolate pools. I licked my lips as I watch her from a nearby tree branch that is directly facing her bedroom. Fuck... I want her....

My mind immediately pictured the scene that I saw earlier. It was even better than watching those stupid porns.

I wonder how her naked body would feel against my equally naked one. I'm sure that that would be even better than heaven.

I grinned as I saw her still gaping at my welcome gift. I knew she would definitely love the lavender that I had been keeping around ever since earlier today.

I sneaked inside her room the moment she entered the shower and had been anticipating her reaction ever since.

And now, I got it... Just like she would be mine.... SOON.
