"H-hello..?" I spoke shakily into the daunting air, the singular word hard to push from my body and burned my vocal chords.
Staring through the reflective glass, silence followed but the uncomfortable pit never left my stomach as my eyes waivered back to the once pristinely white ceramic sink now stained with the palest shade of red splattered across the bowl and the tiled backsplash. My breathing was heavier through my nose, breaking out in a sweat as I resubmerged my hands under the scalding water with a thick stream of steam filling the inches above my stained skin.
The feeling of eyes on me intensified as soon as my focus was away from the mirror, my senses burning as my body fought against entering flight or fight mode to defend myself. Or even trying to figure out if I was simply paranoid after what I witnessed earlier tonight, after hearing those words shouted with venom lacing his tone – instilling fear forever in my veins.
But the floorboards creaked a third time. The chance of it being coincidental dwindled quickly to nothing.
Someone was watching me.
My head lifted again quickly, gasping loudly at the sight of him in the reflection of the mirror standing behind me in the doorway to the bathroom with that sadistic grin curled on his lips that my mind won't ever forget.
Oxygen was knocked from my lungs that compressed tightly behind my aching ribcage, gasping to suck some back inside but breathing wouldn't work as I stare lips parted at the man who found amusement in my suffering. In scaring me until I struggled under his intense emerald eyes.
I spun around quickly, back bending over the edge of the sink to press myself away while my heart hammered in my throat and bile threatened to rise. His head tilted chillingly to the side, lips quirked deeper into a smirk of cruelty – he had me alone, he'd followed me.
He was going to kill me.
I was walking evidence to his crimes, he was imprinted on my skin that I'd desperately tried to scrub and now he needed to remove me.
Blood remained splattered across his face making his eyes seem even more bright from the stark contrast from the deep crimson, it was tousled through his messy curls that dangled over his erratic facial features. His white dress shirt was stuck to his tanned skin beneath with large patches of blood that soaked through the material with ease while a thin sheen of sweat now graced his hairline.
Pushing himself from his casual relaxed position against the doorframe, he sauntered forwards with slow well thought out steps while I stared paralyzed with fear but slowly sinking back over the sink as he got closer.
And when there were mere inches between us, my head tipped back against the slightly fogged up mirror to stare in horror. The sight of him towering above me would haunt me until my last breath. My mind couldn't focus, hazy with uncertainty, unsure what he was going to do to me especially after seeing the brutality of his previous actions.
Despite my deep-rooted terror currently pumping through my veins I somehow managed to find my voice in the situation to beg for my life. "Pl–please don't hurt me, I won't say–say anything." I shook my head desperately which only seemed to make his facial features more amused.
When he raised his hand slowly my mind expected pain but was shockingly surprised when his palm still drenched with drying blood cupped my jaw gently and leaned his face in closer so our noses were almost touching.
The stench of metallic blood was strong with his closeness, mixing in with the mintiness of his breath that fanned my face as he slowly lent into the side of my neck and I froze. His curls tickled my sensitive skin, breathing heavily but I could still feel his callous grin.
A devious whisper followed, "you promise, Princess?"
