Finally?!, Fucking finally?, The fuck you mean by that.

He lets out a breath and brings his face to my hair that was sticking all over my nelike,havece and inhale. He takes a deep breath as it he's drinking in my scent.

I try to look at the mirror without making it obvious.

Before even attempting it, he lets go of my left hip and and grabs my head holding it firm so I don't get the chance to look at the mirror again.

I stand still, terrified and feeling helpless. I try to calculate how to get my hands on the lamp again, but with the way he feels it's seems like he's big enough to get ahold of it before I even get the chance.

But that doesn't mean I shouldn't try , right?

I look at the table only able to see the lamp's tail. I slowly try to reach for it.

All of a suddenly the mirror is shattered and I am moved to the wall beside the basin. My breasts pressing on the wall. I let out a small screech.

His hand leaves my head and moves to my neck , he grabs on it and applies a little pressure.

"Shh, I won't hurt you" he hums, he voice was so deep it was almost terrifying. His hand on my hips pulls me even closer to him.

I take a deep breath, my heart pounding so loud I am sure he can hear it.

" Or touch you" he thrust a little onto my ass.

"Please, let me go" I beg

"I'll never let you go, never again" and with that, he's gone.

I let out a deep breath and fall on my knees.

I clutch the bathrobe tightly and look around, there no one, the door was closed and the windows were closed too.

There was no possible evidence that someone could have come inside here.

Was he a ghost?, Oh my God, I'm being hunted by a ghost!

I run out of the bathroom and run to the living room.

What if he had visited Elle too.

I rush to her door and knock.

"Go away" she yells.

"It's important Elle, I need to see you" I stand there waiting. After about 2 minutes, she opens the door and I enter her room, looking around to see if there's anything weird.

"What is it Marie" her voice hoarse from crying.

"I- I, did you see anyone? Any man?" I ask her erratically, walking to her and examining her.

She furrows her eyebrows , confused. "No, someone broke in?"

"I don't know , the door are locked, but someone was here, Elle, I felt him, and heard him"

She's suddenly overly interested in whatever I'm saying. " So someone broke in! , Oh my god Marie, are you ok, did you see what he looked like,have you called the police"

"No, no I , I'm , I'm not sure, I didn't see his face, but I heard him, he grabbed Me Elle" I paced around her room , my hair all over face.

" Calm down, I'll call the police " she walk to her bed and picks up her phone. I nod even if she wasn't looking at me.

My mind clouded, I couldn't really understand whatever she was saying. I stare at her absent mindedly.

This is pointless, who am I kidding, my windows are locked the front door is locked, no one could have possibly come in.

Elle walks to me.

She was done with the phone call.

"Did he touch you" she questions.

"Not really, no"

She sighs. "C'mon, sit down" we walk to her bed and both sat down.

" I'm sorry, I know you weren't in the mood to talk, I had to check on you "I apologize

" It's ok Marie, this is more important " she hugs me.

I pull away and lay flat on the bed.

His voice, seems, familiar?

Someone rings the doorbell.

"That should be the police" Elle gets up.

I follow behind her.

" This is the police"

She checks the see through, and opens the door.

"Good morning" she greets and made way so they come in.

Two men dressed in uniform steps in, looking around, one was shorter and older and the other who was tall and seems to be mixed.

They nod at me. "Hi, My name is Freddie Gilbert,you can call me Fred, my colleague and I will see to what exactly happened" the older man speaks.

" I'm Jonathan Carter " the younger one offers me his hand.

I took it with a small smile " I'm Marie, Marie Malfoy " I took his hands.

Elle joins us after she locks the door and introduces herself too.

"I'm Ellen Gregor"

"I saw the CCTV camera outside the house, do you have more of those around?" Mr Carter asks.

" No, just that" I replied. " Come" I lead them to the kitchen where the CCTV recordings are kept.

Mr Carter takes over as he scroll through the footages.

"How long has it been" he asks.

"About 20 minutes ago" I replied.

Mr Fred walks to Mr Carter's side to see what he was doing.

"Was anything taken?" Mr Fred asks.

"No, not that I know of" I replied.

I look at Elle to see she's already sitting down on the kitchen counter.

"Can you tell us in details what exactly happened?" Mr Fred asks.

I sigh and held my bathrobe tight. " I had just finish taking a bath when I felt a shadow behind me, I got scared so I took the lamp for protection but there was no one there" I pause and look at both Mr Fred and Mr Carter.

They were listening attentively.

"That's all?" Mr Fred asks.

"No , no, then I was in front of the mirror, and he was suddenly behind me, he grabbed me and pushed head down so I don't see him through the mirror, I tried to reach for the lamp again, but instead, the mirror shatters and I was pushed to the wall, and he grab my throat and tells me he won't hurt me. Then I beg him to let me go, and he says he won't but vanished" my hands shaking from nervousness.

" It's ok, it's ok, we'll get to the bottom of this"Mr Fred says. " What about you Miss Gregor, was those bruise from the Man?"

" No, this is different " Elle answers.

" This footage shows Miss Malfoy heading out of the how at 3:57am this morning" Mr Carter pause. " And by 4:25am both of you are seen coming in, there was no one here between those time and after. And it is shown that Miss Malfoy locked the door when she went out" he looks at Mr Fred.

" He might have been in the house the whole time"Fred suggests.

My heart pounding faster. Oh my god, I've been alone with a stranger in the house all this while.

"Do you remember if any of the windows were open?" Mr Carter asks.

"No, I didn't have the time to open them when I came back from campus" I look at Elle.

"Mine was locked too" she frowns.

"There's a possibility he could still be in the house" Mr Fred suggests. " We'll look around the house, you two stay together and let us know if you see anything suspicious "

I nod and walk to where Elle was sitting.

The policemen pull out their guns and walk to our bedrooms, Mr Fred to Elle's and Mr Carter to mine.

I hold my hand together in attempt to stop it from shaking.

Elle takes my hands in hers. I sigh.

"We should call our parents" I speak up since the silence was only adding to the tension.

"Yeah" she responds. But we stay there, holding each and doing nothing.

After about 5minutes Mr Fred comes out first and joins Mr Carter in my room.

They were talking but it was inaudible.

"I'm going in" I inform Elle. And walk to my room.

" There was no one here, the windows can only be open from inside and there was no break in" Mr Carter says .

"It's the same with the other room" Mr Fred responds.

I enter the room. And Mr Carter looks at me.

"Where's Miss Gregor?" He asks.

"In the living room" I look around. "Did you see the mirror?" I ask him.

"Yes, Miss Malfoy, but it seems you were mistaken , the mirror is intact"

I frown. "What?, No I am sure, I was right in front of it " I run to my bathroom to check.

I stop , dumbfounded.

The mirror was actually intact.
