A DANGEROUS AFFECTION
Chapter 1
"Tony! Tony! Where are you?" cried Angela. Angela kept calling out for Tony at the damp woodland adjacent to the Foxwood Resort Casino golf course. She was almost near the trekking trail that leads to a steeper and deeper part of the forested area but Tony was still nowhere to be found. The message said to meet him by the hikers' trail but why isn't he here? I hope nothing bad has happened to him, thought Angela.
She was unaware of a pair of watchful eyes filled with raging fury following her closely like a predator. The stalker had waited long for this opportunity to have Angela alone. "Tony! Where are you? Stop playing games. Let's go back to the hotel and talk about it over dinner," yelled Angela.
Finally, I could finish her off. Die Angela, Die! You think you're so beautiful--well, you won't be after I leave your rotting body to the maggots to feast on in an unmarked grave. You think you're so great, so smart-- well, you're not. If you have been, I wouldn't have this chance to slay you. A diabolical laugh reverberated through the air and Angela realized she wasn't meeting Tony.
"Who's there?" she called out. Angela paled when she realized she was caught in a trap. The message wasn't from Tony, it was from the stalker who's been haunting her for over a month. She felt so foolish to walk into the lion's den without knowing it. A bullet missed her by a notch and hit the tree beside her.
Instinctively, Angela ran back to the area where she came from but since it was dark, she lost her sense of direction and ended up deeper in the forested area. Several more bullets fired at her. She ran as fast as she could, hoping to lose her assailant. She stumbled several times but she kept going. Her heart was beating so loudly she was afraid the assailant would hear it. She didn't know if she was grateful for the dark to conceal her whereabouts or frustrated that the dark prevented her from finding the way back to the illuminated golf course.
She found an old gazebo and hid behind a large dilapidated bench to try and catch her breath. Please, dear god. I don't want to die, cried Angela silently. Oh Tony where are you? Please help me.
