Chapter Two

ADDISON

My eyes snapped open into the darkness. My heart was beating so fast that I feared it was going to explode all over the inside of my chest. I looked around the room rapidly, trying to make out any figures in the darkness.

But there was nothing.

No one was in my bedroom. Everything was as it should be.

I allowed myself to let out a breath I’d been holding in and glanced at the clock on the nightstand. 2:07 A.M. I’d been waking up in the middle of the night like clock work for the past few weeks, ever since the news reports had started. It was ridiculous, like out of all the houses in the entire city of Los Angeles the LA rapist was going to pick mine to come into.

I threw back my covers and allowed my feet to hit the cold wood floor. Might as well fill out some more applications if I was going to be awake anyway. Finding a job had been a struggle since I’d been laid off earlier this month. Apparently businesses weren’t that impressed by a shy 24 year old with an English degree from a community college.

I had just passed my closet door when I heard it.

Breathing.

I stopped and glanced at the doors of my wardrobe, frozen in place. But when I listened more carefully I heard nothing, no sound coming from anywhere in the room once again. I sighed loudly.

I was really starting to lose it. I placed one foot in front of the other again and told myself to get over my craziness.

And then the closet door swung open and a man lunged out at me, wrapping his arms around my throat. My first thought was to scream for my life and I did until he shoved his hand over my mouth and dragged me across the floor back to my bed.

“Shut up,” he barked. “Shut the fuck up right now.”

He forced my body to the top of my mattress and slammed my head against the wooden frame. A stinging pain filled my brain and the room started to spin. I cried out, the pain, the ringing.

He shoved a hand over my mouth to silence me.

His hands smelled like grime and mutt, his breath was rapid and his eyes filled with something I’d never seen on a human before in my years on earth. I squirmed under his touch and he licked his lips harshly.

“If you scream it’s going to be a lot worse for you. Do you understand me?” His dark gaze looked into mine filled with demons of evil and rage. “I don’t want to kill you, Addison, but I will.”

A tear slipped out of my eye at the mention of my name.

He saw my reaction and grinned. “That’s right, I know your name, baby. Just like I know where your mother lives and where you nephew goes to school. Now if you’re a good girl, nothing will happen to them. If you’re a bad girl though, well, I guess what happens to them will be on your hands, won’t it?”

Dread washed over my body.
