Shadow Pico

Victoria's POV

I was sitting on a park bench, listening to my music with my headphones, doing some homework when it all started. I felt like someone was watching me as if stalking me like I was it's pray. But shaking it off I when back to my work.

About 10 or so minutes later I got that feeling again and this time it sent shivers down my spine, what it was I still had no idea. I looked up to see no one in sight I looked to the right, nothing, to the left, not a soul to be seen. I looked in front of me again and there it was.

It startled me because it wasn't an 'it'. It was a 'they' and 'they' apparently didn't want anything to do with me after I saw them because they just disappeared faster than I had see them. Ok, am I going crazy or something? Knowing me I probably am, I'm completely insane at times.

But they just vanished without a trace. Were 'they' a ghost? A spirit of some kind? I couldn't have been certain. I didn't even get to see their face so I don't even know who he's supposed to be. Or...was.

I looked around once more to see if he was still there, and he wasn't. I decided I got enough done for the day and went back to my apartment I rented for 8-9 mouths out of the year because of collage. I'm a junior in collage so I have only 1 and a half years of school left. Thank The Lord! I am so done with studying for 5 hours each day. And just school period.

I set my things down on my coffee table and sat down on my small couch and sighed heavily. After what happened I don't feel....secure anymore. Or maybe I don't feel, normal anymore. I don't know. All I know for sure, is that it gave me a very creeped out feeling and it vanished like something out of a movie.

Alright Victoria pull yourself together you were just...seeing things that's it. But what about the chills and the sense of someone watching me?

That's it! I've gone crazy! Completely insane! I'm going to check myself into an insane asylum!

I'm going to bed I'm just tired, that should take care of everything. I'm just really tired and I'm just having weird hallucinations that's all.

I got up from the couch and walked upstairs to my bedroom, I got undressed and put some old gray sweat pants on and a white tank top and plopped on my bed face first. I laid there or a few minutes, with my eyes closed, not wanting to use anymore energy to fully get on the bed.

But eventually I pulled myself up and crawled on the bed all the way, so I was fully laying in the bed. Eyes still closed, with my head to one side as I lay on my stomach, I sank into the soft blue comforter and grabbed a pillow from the head of the and slid it under my head.
I opened my eyes to make sure my alarm clock was set to 6:00 o'clock and it was. I shut my eyes again and sighed deeply and within 10 minutes of just laying there I fell asleep as I thought about who was at the park with me.....

*****************************

I woke up with a start, sitting up quickly with my eyes shooting open as I looked around. My heart pounding, it was dark, really dark, I looked at the clock. It was only 2:00 a.m. Dammit
I looked around the room again. I wasn't having a dream well I mostly likely was but I just couldn't see it.

Then I got that creeped out feeling again, like someone was watching me, knowing my every move before I even did. It sent more shivers down my spine then before. I looked out my window that was to the right of me, I gasped.

There was a silhouette of a person. there was someone outside my window. But we're they real? Or was I just seeing things again?

I slowly got out of bed making sure not to make any sudden movements so I didn't make any sounds. The floor was carpeted so it didn't creek.

I slowly made my way to the window and about 5 feet away from it the person turned and it seemed to be looking directly at me through the window and curtains.

I stopped and waited they didn't move after a while, I thought to myself I need something but, what do I need? Oh I know!

I swiftly tiptoed my way to my dresser and opened the top drawer carefully. I looked back at the window and they were still in the window sill. They seemed to be.....waiting for something, or someone. Most likely me so they can kill me.

I search through the drawer until I found was I was liking for. My pocket knife, my dad game to me as a gift for my eighteenth birthday.

Now as and eighteen year old you would most likely get want to get shoes, clothes, a car, ect. But me?

My dad always worried about me being alone even, when he was just outside and I was the only one in the house. So he got me this so I could protect myself whenever I needed to. I couldn't ask for anything else in the world. It showed and proved to me that he cares.
I grabbed it and opened it up. Shiny and sharp just the way I like em'. I looked back to the window and started to walk back over to it. As I did my heart starts to pound harder the closer I got the more my palms got sweaty and my legs would lock up and I had to bend them a little so I could start walking again.

I finally got right in front of the window and I held up my knife and tightened my grip on the handle.

I lifted my hand to push the curtains back. I quickly grabbed to curtain and yanked them back.

But nothing was there.....I was god smacked. I swear I just...oh my god..

I dropped my knife and it fell to the floor. I walked all the way to the window so I could see outside the pane of glas-wait, where's the glass?!

I looked down at the ground and there was my window, in pieces, shattered all over the ground below.

I looked around the yard and the sidewalks, streets and spaces between other apartments. No living thing was within miles of this place it seemed. But someone was right here someone was here watching me, stalking me. And I don't appreciate it.

I looked out at the streets and everywhere I could see enough to tell if someone was there.
I looked at the street and saw something out of the corner of my eye. And under a street light, standing alone was a person. They were liking straight at me, fear filled me to the brim, and I gasped in shock. The person had short but not to short, brown hair. they wore a white t-shirt and black skinny jeans. With what looked like toms shoes.

I looked at there face it was a guy. He could see me looking at him as I started at him in confusion, shock, and fear.

Still he was looking straight at me and then he just turned around and started to walk away into the darkness.

"Wait!" I called out of instincts. being confused I wanted to know just why he was here, what he was or whatever!

He stopped and turned his head to look at me he looked straight at my face. He winked, and turned his head back around he started to walk again. Then he vanished into nothing. I stood there staring out at the street light. Not even trying to make sense of what just happened, cause nothing I probably would have came up with wouldn't have made any fucking sense.
I took a step back from the window it was cold and I didn't have a pane of glass anymore and I don't know what the hell to do now. All I know was that I was scared and tired and looking at my window like it just started talking to me.

I looked back at my knife on the floor and picked it up. It was still open cause all I did was drop it when no one was in the window.

I grabbed it off the floor and closed it. I didn't put it away this time though, I walked over to my bed and laid it under my pillow. I looked at my clock it was now 2:18 and I needed some sleep for my job tomorrow. I work at Nando's I just take orders, I can't stand working with food. It's bad enough that I have to cook for myself half the time, I ain't cooking for other people! It they want so food then they can go to the fucking grocery store, but something, go home and fucking cook it themselves.

I sighed loudly as I shook in uncomfortableness. I laid down on my bed and looked up at the ceiling. I put my hands under my pillow and felt the knife. I sighed loudly and took ahold of it tightly in one hand. I looked back at my ceiling and saw his face on my the white ceiling. I closed my eyes and fell asleep, having horrible dreams about him.
