Darkness Lurks

I watch.I wait.Soon, she'll be mine.Emily McPhee has no idea how long I've been here.Watching.Her perfect little life-straight A's, loyal friends, and that hopeless crush on the cop.But he doesn't see what I see.She's mine.I've been patient. I've behaved.But I'm done waiting. He won't like it, but I don't care.She's starting to feel me now-hearing things, sensing me.She thinks it's all in her head.Then the fear I bring, breaks her. It's magical.She ruins everything by offering for him to move in.He thinks he's her protector.But I know her rhythms and her fears.I know how she screams.And soon, I'll show her just how far I'll go to keep what's mine.Forever.
