"Failed"

"And I'll be alright, nobody, nobody, nobody..."

at their hand, desperately attempting to get them away from me, but failing miserably. "Stop." A cold deep voice came from the attacker, making my efforts to escape from their clutches subside, it was the voice of a man. We stood there is silence for a few seconds, before he removed his hand, there was an ominous look in his eyes, daring me to scream or make any movements.

I stood there is silence, my eyes were wide and my breathing was heavy. I couldn't see his face, only his eyes. He had dark brown eyes, he was taller than me, and wearing all black, a threatening aura surrounded him. He stood there in silence, a few steps to the side. He looked to the direction of my living room, then back at me. Encouraging me to go in.

I could tell he was getting impatient, so I mustered up the courage to walk past him, and into the room. I sat on one of the chairs, looking directly at the floor, I heard him make his way into tension filled room, and stand in front of me. I could see his shoes up until his lower thigh, that's how close he was.

I breathing became heavier as him nor myself made any movements, the tension in the room became thicker as he squatted down in front of me, almost to... examine my face? His gorgeous eyes bored into mine as I sat nervously on the chair.

Eventually, he rose back up to his original position. Finally, I was able to gain the confidence to speak, "uh wh-why are you um, what do you want..." I asked, still staring at the floor, in a faint voice trying to sound confident and assertive, once again failing. My eyes widened even further at his reply in fear.

"I'm here to give you a little gift."

Streaks of daylight shone through the blinds of my bedroom window as my eyes sleepily opened, I looked around my surroundings and realised I was in my bedroom. I was still wearing the same clothing as the day before, and the same jewellery and makeup. Huh? I don't remember getting here, the only thing I remember is that man- THAT MAN. My eyes widened in shock as I remembered the events of yesterday.

I quickly leaped out of bed, tearing the covers off me, and frantically ran around the apartment like a mad person. Looking for any evidence that he had been or was still here. Nothing.

The apartment was completely empty, no one except for me. But that didn't make sense, he was here. I didn't dream it I'm sure of it. I turned my head to see a folded piece of paper resting on the kitchen counter. I stared at it for a few seconds, before slowly walking over to it and carefully picking it up.

I took a deep breath before unfolding it and reading it. As I read the note, painted in neat handwriting, an unsettling feeling of dread sparked in my stomach.

Congratulations!

You, [name] [last name] have been chosen to be the new property of SKZ. We had to run you through a few pesky little tests to ensure we made the right decision by choosing you. We will pick you up at 9:00pm on Friday. Tell anyone of this note or what you saw yesterday, and we will shoot your fucking head off :)

Love SKZ

I had no thoughts as I lightly dropped the paper back onto the counter, circles of tears falling onto it as I desperately tried to hold back my cries. But once again, failed.
