She watched as the kid seemed to hold a pack of caprisun, a beverage she hadnt had since she was a little child. He was kind of adorable, but for her to meet him like that for the first time was slightly off putting. He seemed like the kind of person that thoroughly enjoyed small talk, while she despised it. She had however had enough whiskey to revive a dead person that evening so it all seemed alright in that moment. She took his hand with a smile and shook it. “Alright.. I suppose pigeons are pretty alright animals, but I’m just going to call you Dave.” She said, still a little confused at the slew of words that seemed to spill out of him like a waterfall. “I’m Sid, or Sidney if you wanna be that kind of person.” For a second her eyes fell on her glass of whiskey, which she drank in about a second or less. “So what made you move here? This place is a paranormal hotspot you know, you could’ve chosen a way safer town.” It was in her nature to mess around with people and any oppertunity to scare them was one she couldn’t resist. Besides, he seemed like the kind of person that would get scared easily. It didn’t take long for her to regret het decision however. He was too sweet to scare like that. “No wait, I’m only joking. It’s a nice town this one. But you just seem a little young to be living on your own.”
Suddenly she could feel a pair of arms around her shoulders, a pair she was all too familiar with. “Hey doll.” She heard his voice doom up next to her ear. Doll, he knew the deeper meaning behind the word that seemed just like a fun nickname. She was still his puppet, a doll on a string he could still control if he wanted to and he knew it. “Hello Isaac.” She responded somewhat quietly. As he changed his position he led his hand glide past her throat, a clear statement to her, but meaningless to anyone else. It drove her to the verge of madness how he still toyed with her. “You’ve been drinking an awful lot tonight, maybe you should go home, doll.” She looked up in fear, before composing herself. “I’m alri-“ he cut her off like he had done so many times before. “I’ll walk you home, alright?” It seemed like a harmless gesture, just another nice thing Isaac did for someone, but she didn’t want him to. Before she could speak up in disagreement, he grabbed her arm and almost dragged her off of her seat. “Wait.” She murmered, barely loud enough for the man to hear, who surprisingly waited, probably to not look too suspicious. Sid grabbed a piece of paper out of the pocket of her jeans, that turned out to be a crumbled up receipt. She grabbed a pen that was laying on the bar and quickly scribbled her phone number on it, before handing it to Dave. She vaguely smiled before letting Isaac drag her away.
The cold air hit her like a wave of ice, sending a shiver down her spine. The man next to her still had his arm wrapped around her schoulders, keeping her body close to his and with his strenght she couldn’t escape. Not in the state she was in. As he said, he walked her home. “You shouldn’t have.” Her voice quietly spoke as she fumbled with her keys, in order to unlock her front door. “I can’t take any risks.” The voice he used in the pub was different from the one she heard behind her, indicating that he stood closer than she would have liked him to. Quickly she opened the door, hearing his footsteps follow hers. She wanted to shut the door, but the second she turned around she already almost bumped into Isaac. “Carefull there, doll.” The menacing tone he used when calling her by the nickname made her feel sick. His usual smile was nowhere to be found, as was his friendly demeanor. He shut the door behind him, almost making her freak out enough to give her a heart attack. “Have you told him anything?” She shook her head, looking up at him with fear written all over her face. “You don’t want to make a fool of yourself again, now do you? When will you accept that no one is going to believe you?” He took a few steps forward, making Sid take a few steps backwards, feeling her back pressing against the living room wall. He kept walking closer to her, before he stood close enough to cover her in his shadow. “Besides,” his hand wrapped around her throat, slightly squeezing it to remind her of his dominance, “you are still my puppet, aren’t you?” His grip got tighter as he spoke, making Sid grab his wrist. “You can’t kill me.” She managed to say. “Oh, well look at that, won’t you just see the position you’re in? Doll, I’m already so close, why should I stop now?” He released her just ever so slightly, giving her the chance to speak. “David knows you’re walking me home, and more people have seen you. If I disappear tonight they’ll grow suspicious.” She could see his brows move, the way they always did when he was thinking. “I suppose you’re right.” He murmered. “Then let this be a warning or a.. taste of what it’s going to be like, if you will.” Once more he squeezed her throat, making her gasp for air before she couldn’t anymore. For seconds he held the grip on her, making her dizzy as he watched the tears well up in her eyes. Finally he let go, knowing what he had done and how she would feel. Against all her instincts, she grabbed his arm. She was about to fall to the floor due to the lack of oxygen and her body instinctively grabbed the first thing her hand could get a hold of, and that just so happened to be Isaac. He lifted her off the ground as if she were made of air and set her down on the couch. It made her conflicted, like when she first met him. He was always so rough and then had these little gestures that made him seem kind. She watched him disappear into the kitchen and look around for something. As he walked out and she could see him again she noticed something in his hand. “I’m taking this, okay doll?” It was his outside voice again, sounding so soothing and nice in her ears, yet bringing up a nauseous feeling. She could do nothing but nod in agreement. He stood still in front of her, bending down and tucking a piece of hair behind her ear, before he placed his hand underneat her chin to lift her head up a bit. “Changing the locks won’t save you, you know that.” Referring to the key he held in his hand. He pulled his hand away from her face quickly, letting her head fall down again. “Now get some rest, you look like you can use it.” There it was again, that tone in his voice that made him feel like a completely different person. His footsteps were the only thing she heard, before his voice sounded through her house again. “Sleep well, doll.” The light creaking of her front door, followed by the slam that shut it, let her know he had left.
