Salome was just 13. A unique and elegant teen. She was very jovial,honest and reliable.
It was a cool afternoon after she got back from school. She was also Intelligent that a lot of her friends were envious of her.
"I'll be right back"...she smiled at her dog.
Her hair was shoulder length and curly too it was brownish gold. She had velvet eyes and her lips were light pink. Though she was just 13, she had a great sense of humor.
Carly barked.... Salome was arranging the dishes. She needed to finish it before her Mom got back home.
"I'm coming right now"...she said smiling and side hopping towards carly. Carly bent wagging his tail excitedly as he saw her.
"There you go"....she said placing a small bowl of carly's dish.
Knock! Knock!...
She ran to get the door...It was her friend Jerry. He came to their place most times for his assignments. They were both class mates but Jerry was 15.
Jerry Markson was a young lad who had just his Mom. His Dad left them when he was very little. His dark long hair was almost resting on his shoulder....he had blue eyes, a tongue piercing which his mother made for him and then his tattoos were beautifully drawn right under his arm. He looked more like a gangster.
Hey! come in....she said opening the door for him
"Thank you"...he replied taking off his shoes before entering.
"How are you doing?"...he asked
Well....obviously I'm good. She replied looking at carly. He was busy with the baseball and she had no plan on making him divert his attention from the ball.
It was 4pm already, Jerry was on his way home and Salome, she was home alone...watching TV. She got tired and then went to take a quick nap. It was getting dark, carly was asleep too then suddenly...they heard the door bang
Bang! Bang!
Salome was up trying to figure out who the person is. She knew it wasn't her Mom and for the fact that carly was whimpering, she knew that someone else was at the door.
"But who was at the door?" ...she thought to herself
Making carly quiet by throwing him the baseball and some left over chocolate that was sitting idle on the table, she tiptoed to the door. It was dark and by the time she got to the door,she opened it with fear..
"Who's there?"...she asked repeatedly but no one seem to answer. She couldn't find anyone at the door and that was quite strange.
She slammed the door and locked it behind her. She went back to the room and closed her door...as she couldn't sleep,she sat on her bed trying to figure out who was playing with her at the moment. She was about to lay down when she saw someone move by her window side...she went downstairs to get carly.
She packed a lot of toys and more chocolates for carly so they could stay together in the room and that would avoid and distract him for a while so the intruder wouldn't suspect there is anyone in the house.. She got upstairs and placed carly on his white stuffed big bag. Stretching her neck, Salome seem to notice a small guy outside...he looked more like Jerry
" What?"...she exclaimed silently
Before she could say another,he was invisible and then the windows started shaking. Carly got scared and then ran under the bed..Salome did the same as she was scared. Even if she shouted,no one could ever hear her cause they stayed in the woods alone
From no where, he grabbed her neck and tries to strangle her...carly whimpered and barked at the ghost but he wouldn't stop...she was loosing it already,she couldn't hang in there anymore and so her eyelids were closing. Carly was sad...he wasn't going to let his owner die that way as she was about to die,....
Ring! Ring! Ring!....her alarm rang and she was up. It was a dream,and she was all sweaty making it seem like she was fighting in the real life as she was in her dream. She got confused...
"Who was the little girl?"...she asked herself curiously scratching her hair.
She moved to the mirror and looked at herself....oh no! her hair was a mess again. She slammed her hand on her forehead. Moving away, she went to her drawer and brought out her diary. She wrote...
Dear diary,
It's been the fourth day I'd be having this particular dream...I mean I'm lost.
I don't even know what's happening to me anymore
I don't know who this little girl is and what is trying kill her
I'm really trying to understand but I don't seem to
"Do I have a child already?"...
"Whose child is that"?....
She sighed deeply and closed her book...tucking it back inside her drawer.
Kylie walked to her wardrobe...she opened it and sighed.
"What should I wear?"...she thought out loud.
Picking a velvet shirt and a black short,she looked at herself in the mirror and then dropped it on her bed...
Walking to the bathroom, she had a warm bathe. She was humming her favorite song and was enjoying the moment. Done within 10 minutes, she walked out without her towel. Her breasts were full and round. She was hot,curvy and tempting...her skin was soft and beautiful. She had dyed her hair pink a day before her birthday last month and her lips were red. She picked up her clothes and wore them. Staring at herself in the mirror, she sat down combing her hair..she didn't know if she should let them down or pack in a ponytail style.
"Finally"....she exhaled as she said dropping the comb.
"I look numb"...she said trying to adjust her eyebrows. She wore her favorite bracelet and her favorite perfume on.
Looking at herself in the mirror...her red lips were excruciating and her hair was nearly packed in a ponytail style.She felt relieved then went downstairs totally forgetting about the dream she had earlier.. Kylie walked to the kitchen to grab herself a breakfast. She loved pasta so she took that.
Lol Kylie's just like me...pasta is my favorite.
Kylie had a lot of things going on in her mind...she missed her boyfriend so much.
He had traveled to Australia for a work that he had to finish...it was just for a week and it was day 3. She felt bored at home as there was no one to talk to...she picked her phone and dialed her best friends number
Hey!...you around or something?
Hey kylie!...Sharon replied
"Yeaaa"...I'm home wanna come over?
"Sure"...she said
Alright...see you soon.
She hanged up...was about to step out when suddenly she felt dizzy and collapsed.....
* * *
She opened her eyes although she was still dizzy a bit,she saw Sharon.
"What happened to me?"...she asked silently.
Sharon explained to her that she waited till dawn and didn't see her and so she had to come check up on her...on getting there,she met her inside on the floor at the entrance of the door.
Kylie knew she was dizzy then but didn't know what happened to her. The doctor came in smiling and was happy Kylie was awake because she couldn't wait to break the goods news to her and her friend.
"Good morning Kylie"..the doctor greeted her
"Hi doc..tor"...she replied weakly.
How are you feeling today?...
"I'm a lil better now"...she replied
See me in my office later in the day she said as she walked out after a quick check up on kylie.

Sharon was smiling and giggling loud as she stared at kylie making her to blush.
What's happening? Kylie asked Sharon as she tried to sit up looking worried as well.
Well I don't know yet.... Sharon replied her making it obvious she was lying.
It was 5pm already and Kylie was feeling better a bit this time and so she made her way to the doctor's office with Sharon. On getting there, she was feeling anxious
The doctor spoke with gladness and happiness for Kylie. Kylie was pretty disturbed this time around.
What's happening...She asked the doctor
Well...congratulations dear. The doctor replied giggling
For what exactly??.. Kylie asked the doctor staring hard at Sharon who was busy smiling
"You're three weeks pregnant". The doctor spilled
Whaaatttt!!!!.... Kylie exclaimed.

Fred was relaxing just outside the corridor, he had his favorite puppy with him and was really missing Kylie. The corridor was well spaced and the interior was well decorated with beautiful strings hanging across each other and it was awesome. Fred was putting on his favorite spray which made him smell heavenly and he felt great as he thought of kylie and smiled widely.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
His phone rang out loud as he snapped from his thought. Looking at the caller ID, he smiled and grinned loudly....It was Kylie. She hadn't given him a call since he traveled to Australia for his work and couldn't accept calls at that time since it was for a week only.
"Hi baby".... kylie said slowly over the phone
"Heyyyy my love"... Fred replied over joyed making Kylie to smile .
"How have you been"?... She asked him
"Well, I've been great"... Fred replied, noticing kylie wasn't sounding happy.
What's wrong Mama?... He asked as he put down Bella who was wagging her tail non stop as she heard Kylie's voice.
"Uh...I have something worrying to tell you". Kylie replied.
They discussed over the phone for close to an hour and after the call, Fred went in to pack his luggage and then requested for a ride to the airport. He was going back to Canada to see his unborn baby and Kylie, he was so excited but kylie wasn't as she wasn't ready to become a mother yet.
* * *
Salome ran and ran non-stop, puffing and huffing. The killer was very close to her and Carl couldn't do anything to stop the killer as he felt disappointed in himself and then stopped running with Salome.
"What are you doing??"... she asked carl with tears in her eyes and shaky voice
Carl whimpered and his eyes were teary as well.
She stepped close ,lifting him and carrying him as she ran. She understood Carl and knew that he wasn't happy with himself, but she wasn't going to let him out of her sight as he was the only one who stood and stayed by her side at all times. Moreover he was just a puppy abdand wasn't a human who could help.
He grabbed her hand making Salome to loose hold of Carl, she screamed non-stop as he brought out a knife very close to her throat. It was delving into her throat and blood was spilling out....
Knock! Knock! knock!
Someone knocked on the door making Kylie to Jolt out from the bed, she was all sweaty and this time around, she looked at the mirror and then noticed a slight mark on her neck. Kylie gasped and then the knock came again making her jolt for the second time.
Running downstairs, she opened the door and there she saw the love of her life. Tears trickled down her cheeks as her face became red, she kissed him and he dragged her into his arms kissing her back with so much passion and content making her blush.
Come in...she said as she brushed her lips against his cheeks tossing her hair back.
"You look messy"...he said adjusting his collar
" How are you?"... she replied him.
"I'm alright ". I miss you so much... replied.
Kylie made him breakfast and then went to shower then went back to bed as Fred wanted to cuddle.
He looked at her and kissed her passionately making her moan. They obviously had missed each other very much as she slightly squeezed his hair in her tiny palm. Fred squeezed her breasts and this time she moaned louder than before, moving her hands down to his d**k, she held it and was making moves with her fingers making Fred to grin out loud as she rubbed it with so much satisfaction and pleasure.
He moved his hands down to her belly button and then slide it into her P***y making her crave for him and then clutched the innocent bedspread working her tiny waist from one side to another as Fred dug his fingers into her, she unfurled her legs giving Fred the moment and chance to thrust into her and make her squeal. Fred budged upward and then finally shoved his d**k into her and then she squealed for elation.
They felt relieved and Fred held her like he was never letting go of her.
"You know, I was really wondering what the baby would be"...Fred said as he tucked her hair behind her ear. Kylie giggled moving and tucking her legs in between Fred's as he shoved her breast in his mouth making her moan softly.
"I'd like it to be a girl yunno"....she replied him playing with his hair tucking it backwards and moving it out at the same time.
"I'd want a boy though"...Fred replied her grinning close to her ears making her snicker.
They discussed till around 2am and then Kylie fell asleep as she felt warm and safe in Fred's hands, hoping she wouldn't have to see Salome in her dream again this time.
* * *
Crickets were chattering and the whole place was quiet and hushed and the crickets could be heard. The light was dimmed and the whole scene was silent and soft as she walked down the hall way quite agitated and panicky. She was alone and she could feel the presence of someone else but she couldn't see the person. Salome stumbled as she hit her foot against a large stone which has been carefully placed by someone if she wasn't mistaken.
Ouch!...she exclaimed, bending down to check her foot. It was bleeding and she was really surprised
Raising up her head, she noticed someone's foot just near her knee which made her quiver. Salome had always wondered if she was going to die sooner or later ever since this ghost started following her and carl. This time, Carl wasn't with her and she wondered where he was.
"Who are you??"....she asked with shaky voice
"I am what you think I am"... the voice replied her.
Salome couldn't raise up her head cause she was scared and couldn't dare to look at what was talking to her.
"What are you?"... she asked whimpering
"Raise your head and take a look at me..." the voice replied.
Of course, she wanted to see what was talking to her and what has been following her all these while and so she lifted her head almost shrieking. He grabbed her neck putting her in utmost fear and then the sharpened knife that was shining in the dark came very close to her throat as she gasped at the killer trying to free herself from his grip. Unfortunately, the knife pierced through her throat making blood spill out staining her face and his feet as it went deeper into her throat she gasped for breathe.
* * *
Kylie grabbed Fred's hands as she struggled for her life on the bed, making Fred to jolt up from the bed.
Kyle! Kyle! Kyle!... he grabbed her hands and knelt beside her on the bed trying to wake her up from her nightmare. She opened her eyes as she sat upward crying and panting, she looked at Fred and there he was looking confused and befuddled as he saw the way she jazzed up from bed. She was in tears as she wrapped her arms around Fred's broad shoulder, adjusting herself and cuddling up in his arms as he lifted her from the bed and took her to the shower. It's been a while he did that and so she felt comforted and alleviated as she sat comfortably in his arms.
Fred was huge and had broad shoulder. His eyes were dark blue and he had sexy lips that were going to stimulate a lady. He put her down in the bath tub has he hushed her and then packed her hair into a rough bun tucking the other strand of her hair behind her ear and then planted a kiss on her forehead making her yawp in excitement as she giggled and planted a kiss on his lips making him grin.
Fred had literally diverted her attention to him, making her forget about her nightmare and wasn't planning on talking about it neither was he preparing to question her on anything. He grabbed the sponge and then evenly scrubbed her body with care and affection making her snuggle and curl up in the bath tub.
It was a 20 minute bathe and then they were out. Kylie was smelling of blended chocolate mixed with vanilla and it scented heavenly as she felt empyrean stepping out of the bathroom. Her boobs were round and curvy and she looked almost perfect with her pink hair, making Fred drool over her. Fred grabbed the towel and then tied it around his waist, brushing off the water on his hair as he bailed out from the bathroom incensing divine. The couple were just too perfect for each other as their love became greater every day and they were not prepared to leave each other yet as till death do them part.
Kylie had prepared chicken and waffle concoctions as breakfast which was obviously Fred's favorite meal. She dished the food quietly as Fred watched her tacitly making sure he surveyed every inch of her prepossessing and attractive face. He was happy he had gotten married to her and then he noticed he has gotten the most prettiest woman as his wife which made him giggle.
"What's wrong"... Kylie asked as soon as she noticed him staring at her.
"Uhm... Nothing serious he replied shaking his head rhythmically.
Are you sure?... she asked
"Yes baby"... he said.
She then sat down making sure she'd dished Fred's food completely before she started eating her meal. Fred was in love with his wife and was also in love with her food as he couldn't help but crave for her food all the time. He picked up her hands and planted a kiss on the back of her palm, making her giggle and blush as she ate her food silently remembering her dream and was having deep thought about it, she shrieked a bit and then Fred noticed her.
"Want to talk about it??... Fred asked her
No I don't want to...She replied looking away, trying to avoid Fred see her cry.
"I love you still"... he said as he looked into her eyes.
"I love you more"... she replied as she stood up and kissed him on the lips.
She walked to the kitchen to get herself more waffles concoctions and chicken. Seems like she has started eating more food than before and the baby been craving a lot. She walked back to the dinning room, and stared at Fred before sitting. She coughed making Fred divert his attention from his food and then she started talking the moment he looked at her.
I think the baby be growing too fast and eating a lot... she said giggling as she rubbed her belly.
"You think so?"... he asked looking at her belly that was protruding already.
They discussed on what gender they wanted and then later proceeded to the parlor where kylie rested her head on his legs as he sat down on the sofa. Fred had placed a pillow on his laps in which kylie had used to rest her head as he rhythmically played with her hair making her want to doze off but she couldn't as she was scared of seeing Salome again.
"what exactly happened"... he asked her making her tilt her head towards his side.
"Well it's just this dream I've been having and I've not been able to understand it yet... she replied him shrugging. I've been seeing this particular girl in my dream as she's dying but I can't do anything to save her or to help her Kylie continued almost in tears. She adjusted herself properly as she sat upright facing Fred so she could continue her story without any form of interruption. She explained to Fred how Salome is always been pursued by her killer and how she doesn't even know what to do anymore. Lifting her hair, she showed Fred the mark she'd seen on her neck after she woke up from her dream the other day and how the killer tried to pierce Salome's neck then she woke up to the mark. She was wondering how the mark got to her neck and why she's been seeing Salome in her dreams .Fred was surprised and wasn't comfortable with what has been happening and why she hasn't told him about it all these while.
Why didn't you tell me??... he asked her
"I was scared"... she replied him, attempting to clean her face as she almost cried while narrating.
"I'm so sorry babe"...he replied as he patted her back.
"It's fine"... she said pecking him as she placed her head back on his legs curling up.
They made love to each other and then fell asleep, kylie changed position and then this time, she saw Salome right in her front, she was bleeding and had her head hanging sideways like she broke her neck. Kylie shivered and then wiped her eyes again to confirm if she was really seeing Salome or if she was hallucinating .
Fred! Fred!.... she tapped Fred to wake him up
Babe! babe!!....this time she shrieked as she tapped him.
she raised up her head to glance at salome but she wasn't there anymore.
What happened?... he asked as he opened his eyes
Uhm...She was short of words as she only pointed to where she saw Salome, confusing Fred as he wondered what she saw this time. He dragged her closer to him and then rested her head on his shoulder taking her in his arms and making sure she was hushed.
There's nothing here....he told her as he sighed deeply nodding his head negatively.
I love you so much...he whispered to her ear, tucked in her hair back
