《My Next Door Neighbour Hisses》Chapter 20
Advertisement
It took me just a second before my instincts went off to danger. Quickly, I tried to bolt to the side to get around him however, he was already too close for me to make a move and when I tried, he had a firm grip on my arm and pulled me back down to the seat.
"Nice try, but it won't work." He tone was deep and soft but a little bit gruff. "You seem quite foolish to just come here alone and not even notice someone coming up to you."
"What do you want?" I growled. My defences were all up. I knew he was trouble the moment I saw him. And now, he had followed me here.
"I want you to do something." He said, leaning in closer to me, "And I'm only going to say it once."
"Or what, you'll kill me?" I joked, "As if I have not heard that line before." He makes a sharp glare at me, almost inhumanly. At this point, I nearly gulped. Perhaps I shouldn't have said that.
"I want you to stay away from Adrian." He commanded. Staggered, I blinked a few times. How did he know Adrian and how did he know that I was with him? Then it came to mind.
"Wait a second, you were that man who was staring at me outside my house a few weeks ago, right?" I stated. When I didn't get an answer from him I continued, "You were spying on me, weren't you? You stalker!"
"Indeed, I was spying but not on you, on Adrian. You just happened to be in the picture." He said, "But I am serious on what I said, it is best if you avoid any physical contact with him. Get as far away as you can."

Why on earth is he portraying Adrian as a dangerous man? I know he is when it comes to physical violence, not to mention his hunger but if he were to hurt me, he would have done it a long time ago. I glared back at him in defence.
"Who are you to judge?! I don't know you and you don't know me. And I will not be taking orders from a stalker!" and with that, I used my free hand to punch in right in the face. Once it stunned him, I kicked him in the balls causing him to go down on his knees. With that moment, I bolted down the path and back to my car.
Luckily it wasn't like in those movies where the car doesn't start when you were in danger. I was soon back onto the road and it wasn't long before being back into familiar surrounds. I got home but I didn't feel safe here anymore, not with that man knowing where I live. I looked over to Adrian's house and saw his lights where on.
Seeking comfort and protection, I rushed over to his house, going in without knocking and slamming to the door and pushing my body against it as if that man was on the other side. After a few seconds, my body quickly concluded that he wasn't there as slightly relaxed but shocked. Who was that man?
"Sophia?" My eyes drifted to Adrian standing by the stairs looking at me in confusion. "What are you...?" before he could finish, I rushed towards him and gripped on to him as if I feared something or someone will pull me away from him.
In response, Adrian wrapped his arm around me. "Why are you shaking, what happen to you?"

"There was a man...he was asking me...Adrian, he knows about you." I started explaining but was going all over the place.
"Calm down." Adrian tries soothing me by rubbing my back but then he lifts me up bridal style and takes me to his bedroom. He sits down on his bed, leaning against the wall as he still has me in his arms. "Tell me everything."
I began to explain to him what happened. About meeting that man at the park and how he knows about Adrian being a naga and that we are together and warning me to stay away from him. However, as I started to describe the man, Adrian's body stiffen, his eyes filled with riling.
"Do you know him?" I asked but the only response was Adrian gently pushing me off and getting up, "Adrian, where are you going?"
"To look for him." He simply answered, grabbing a large coat that was hanging at the back of his door. "You will stay here until I return, don't worry, I'll be fine. We have some history and it's not the first time."
"Great." I mumbled, not being comfortable with Adrian going off like this.
"My pets are here. They'll look after you."
"Oh, jeez thanks, that makes me so much better." I exclaimed sacristy. He raised his eyebrow him amusement before leaving me alone in the room.
It took a moment before tiredness got to me. Slowly, I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes, hoping that Adrian would come back okay.

Beatrice Santello
An adult imagining of Beatrice Santello's life prior to the events of Night in the Woods. There are no explicit depictions of sex here, though there are obviously adult themes and situations involving it. I wasn't going to post it to Royalroad as I didn't think Fanfiction was okay here - but now I see it is and I am quite convinced it is the best work I've ever done yet, I've got to see what any fans of NitW think about it! The first chapter was originally written as a short vignette and wasn't intended to be continued into a full blown story. It was just intended to be moody and evocative. Even though anyone that has played Night in the Woods has a good idea how this must end, I hope it will still be worth the read. Also, since I've finished writing it, I'm going to post it as one big chapter dump all at once. Cover drawing by GreasyMojo and colored by me (with permission!). I don't think it should be too risque on it's own but I suppose I'll soon find out.
