Alone
By Kameka
Where's he taking me?
I met him in a library! He seemed so unthreatening, so nice. People are told when they're kids never to talk to strangers. I'm not a kid. I'm a teenager.
I should have known things weren't right when he came up to me. What are the odds, a dance teacher coming up to someone who wants to be a dancer? The perfect setup. Too perfect to be true.
Why didn't I see that?
He seemed like the answer to my prayers. A way out.
Out of this life. Uncle Danny, where are you? You're a cop, you should be here, stopping him. Protecting me.
The car's stopped. This can't be good.
Shadows are everywhere. How can home seem so threatening?
Is it because I never saw it as home? It was a convenient place to stay, but as long as it wasn't home, I didn't have to listen to Uncle Danny or Aunt Leigh or follow the rules.
If I can get free, I can call for help. Big if. He's good at tying knots and he isn't leaving the room. Why won't he give me a chance?
I swear, if I get out of this alive, I'll stop being such a bitch. Please, let me get out of this alive.
That's it, drink your wine. Listen to your music. The longer you stall, the better chance I have.
If they figure out who you are. Where I am.
No, don't touch me! Stay over there, far away from me.
He's insane, totally insane. How'd I miss it? How'd he hide it? His eyes are so blank, no emotions or thoughts.
Biology class, studying sharks. The perfect killing machines; nature stripped to its' barest essentials.
A shark in human skin. Perfect killing machine.
No! You won't kill me. Uncle Danny'll stop you.
I have to believe that. I have to.
No, don't come back over here. What's that? A weapon? No, nails. He's going to do my nails??
Don't touch me. I hear whimpering, is that coming from me?
Uncle Danny, where are you?
Nononono, he can't. But there's nothing to stop him. Why is this happening to me?
I want this nightmare to end. I want him to leave and never come back. Death is too good for him.
How can he do this? He's so relaxed, like he's finally in his element.
This isn't the first time. He's done this before.
To other girls? Did any survive? Will I join the ranks of those killed by Evan Whitechapel?
No, Mija, don't think like that. I'm not going to die.
If I die, he wins. He can't win.
He can't.
Why'd he pick me? What made him notice me? I wasn't the only one there.
Please, Uncle Danny, come get me. I promise I won't be so bratty to you. I'll listen, I'll follow the rules. I'll help Aunt Leigh with Jenny.
Cross my heart.
I don't want to be alone anymore.
Where are you?
