I really hope you enjoy this story, I started writing this a couple years ago, I found it just laying there on my computer and decided to start rewriting it, but I believe it to be one of my best.

Another typical April afternoon, the sun was overcome by heavy black clouds ready to burst; they loomed over the streets, taunting the people walking below as a few droplets escaped the clouds clutches, ripping at the seams more and more drops escaped until they were flowing out like a waterfall. The streets had cleared almost as suddenly as the rain started, everyone ran for the shelter of their homes; able to change from their cold saturated clothes to warm dry ones just to cosy against their radiators and bring themselves that extra warmth. Marie, however still had several minutes to go before she could reach the comfort of her radiator. The rain restricted her vision faintly as it bounced around her hazel eyes, causing her to squint slightly. Although she didn't mind walking in the rain, she found it agitating when droplets would go into her eyes, otherwise it is peaceful; you have time to think with no-one else around, yes you get cold and soaked – but relaxing it is.

Marie sighed as her front door came into sight; searching her pockets for the door keys she pulled them out just as she arrived at her front porch. Kicking off her shoes she looked herself in the mirror beside the front door, taking in her reflection; her mascara had smudged around her eyes, her clothes were waterlogged and her brown waves were pulled together in chunks due to the dampness. She removed her coat, placing in on the banister for it to drip-dry itself before making her way upstairs for a shower. She stripped down after turning the water to a temperature which felt appropriate, testing it with her hand she stepped within the warm stream of water, a welcome change to the cold rain she was in moments ago. Taking a generous amount of shampoo within her hands she massaged it into a lather before rinsing, repeating the process with the conditioner.

Stepping out she wrapped a towel around her petite frame and another in a turban fashion around the top of her head for her hair to rest within, afterwards she crossed the landing to her bedroom where her dressing gown awaited neatly placed upon the bed. She picked it up and wrapped it's comfort around her body, admiring it's softness before laying on her bed, enjoying the relaxation she was getting before attempting to do anything else. Relaxation taking her within its grasps as she dosed into a calming sleep.

A black vehicle rested outside a un-owned home, sat inside behind the wheel was a male fiddling with a set of keys, finding the one needed he placed it within the ignition, the car gave a roar as it sprung to life. Listening to the purr of the engine he thought through his plan 'get in, get it, get out.' Feeling slightly hesitant at first, he took a deep breath before placing the car into gear and pressing against the throttle with his foot, the vehicle moved towards its destination at a steady pace.

His mind was set by the time he reached his location, no longer was he feeling hesitant or fearful for what he was about to do; instead anger, revenge and obsession took over. He looked up at the building from within the vehicle, recognising it immediately as it was no different to when he last saw it two years ago. It was late at night so all building lights were off, save for the street lights and the random headlights of the few cars passing through the road was dark.

Stepping from the vehicle he fiddled with the keys again, looking for the one he needed to gain entry. Entering the key into the hole he twisted it to the right, the lock released a click as the door easily swung open.

Inside the house didn't feel the same as what he was used to, everything had been changed, as though he was forgotten about, this raised his anger further, the fact that there was no memories of his existence in his former home. He ran up the stairs as quickly but quietly as humanly possible, knowing exactly where to find what he wanted; straight upstairs, second door on the right. Sure enough as he opened the door, there lay what he desired, neatly wrapped within a soft cotton of white; Marie.

He stood in the doorway to the bedroom for a moment looking at her, watching as her chest rose and fell with each gentle breath, her beauty shining due to the graceful moonlight which leaked through the curtains. She looked just as wonderful as the last time he saw her; the last time he saw her as he was being pulled away and she turned her back on him. He was determined that they wouldn't be separated again, forever she would be his. He took a few more moments to gather his thoughts and have a final think through of his plan, he placed a hand into the left pocket of his leather jacket and slightly pulled the shiny object out to reveal a set of handcuffs, a sleek pistol was within his right.

Stepping towards the bed he kept his sight locked firmly upon her, not once did his gaze drift away from its target; like a lion hunting its prey he stealthily but silently came to the foot of the bed. He missed her; but it wouldn't be long till he could touch her soft skin or feel her silky hair again. He continued to stare at her, fascinated at how little she had changed in two years. But he couldn't delay any longer, it was nearing 3am and he wanted to be far away from here before sun up. Walking to the side of the bed he gently sat himself down beside Marie, spinning himself around so he was lying behind her. Then his plan started to take shape.
