Chapter Nine
Ring! Ring!
"Hello?"
"Hi Kari, it's me Sora."
"Hi Sora. Let me guess, Tai, right?"
"Yeah…"
"Hang on a sec," Kari told her.
Just act normal. Don't act suspicious. That's what Izzy said. Sora sighed as she held the phone tightly in her hands.
"Hello Sora."
"H-hi Tai."
What's she so nervous about? What am I supposed to say to her? "So…"
"So…" Come on Sora, you can do this.
"So…" Tai tapped his fingers in a low drumming noise as he waited for Sora to say something.
"So Tai…"
"So Sora…"
"So..."
"Okay is there a point to you calling me or are just going to say keep on saying-" Tai was cut off by Sora.
"Sorry Tai. I called to apologize about earlier today. I know I was acting strange but I was really rattled about this dream I had."
"No problem, I forgive you. Do you want to talk about it."
"No! I mean…uh…not really." Oh smooth Sora. Real smooth!
Silence.
"I gotta go Sora."
"Okay, bye Tai."
Sora hung up the phone and collapsed on the plush tan cushions of her couch. Her eyes traveled around the room as a smile lit up her face. It was exactly two years ago that her mom bought this house and expanded the floral shop. She could still remember how excited they both were…how happy they were redecorating…the paint fight they both had…
Ring! Ring!
Sora was rudely slapped out of her thoughts as the loud ringing reverberated through her thoughts. She got up and picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello."
"Uh…who is this?"
"Why Sora, you don't recognize my voice?"
Sora gulped as a chill engulfed her body. "W-what do you want?"
"You of course."
"Listen you fucking bastard! I want you to leave me the hell alone!" Sora screamed into the phone.
Did she just swear? Go me! I'm getting to her. "Tsk, tsk. Such vulgarity! Such a dirty mouth."
Sora angrily rolled her eyes. "Oh, shove it!"
Sora's fear began to melt away as anger now shook her body.
"You shouldn't talk to me that way. Now I'll just have to teach you a lesson."
Click!
Sora heard the dial tone and slammed the phone down as she stomped her feet loudly. She threw herself down on the couch. Who does he think he is? He can't keep going around and killing people! maybe I should go call the police…No! I can't. They told me not to pursue this, but I did…damn. I can't go to Tai…it seems like it is him. Why Tai? I lov-no! I don't! I don't! Arrrrg! I feel so alone and vulnerable sitting around here. But who can I turn to?
Ring! Ring!
The shrill sound cut through Sora's thoughts, startling her. For a moment, she just stared in that direction before walking to her phone. Her hand trembled slightly and her muscles tensed up as she picked up the phone. "H-hello?"
"Hi Sora."
Sora let out a sigh. "Oh, hi Matt."
"Are you doing anything tonight?"
"No, why? Do you want to come over and watch a movie?"
"Sure. I'll be over in fifteen minutes."
"Fifteen minutes?" Sora repeated.
"Yeah. I just want to grab a movie from Video Junction."
"Okay." I guess I'll be okay in fifteen minutes.
"Alright Sora. See you soon," Matt said happily.
"Bye Matt."
Sora hung up the phone and smiled. I'll soon be safe…ah! I should tidy up the place a little…
Twelve minutes later…
Ring! Ring!
Not thinking about it, Sora picked up the phone as usual. "Hello?"
"Hello Sora. Did you think you'd get rid of me so easily?"
Sora's back stiffened. "Why can't you leave me alone!?"
"Because that's not fun. I'll go now and leave you to your lover boy."
"He's not my lover-"
"And why not?" demanded the voice angrily.
"None of your business. Why are you so angry? And who are you? Is that you Tai?"
Click!
"Bastard!" Sora growled. Who does he think he is?

A smile played on the corner of the lips as his eyes burned through Sora's window. He loved watching the expression on her beautiful face. Torturing her was so much fun. "And tonight, she'll be mine," he whispered before slinking back into the shadows.

Sorry about how long this took but I've been busy and had little free time to myself. Sorry about how short this is. Okay, I'll stop apologizing. Feel free to review.
