Ella didn't know what Mike was doing here but she knew it wasn't a coincidence either so she had to be careful.
It was well past midnight and he came here with no prior notice either but Ella knew that things needed to be nipped in the bud.
"Mike, I have called the cops!" Ella screamed, hoping this would dissuade him from carrying out whatever it was he was planning.
[[Are you sure about that?]] Mike responded from the other end of the phone and this confirmed that he was still on the phone so it was impossible for her to call 911.
But then she heard the keyhole make a series of strange noises like someone was trying to breach it from outside but then there was silence.
Ella ran to the kitchen to grab a knife but she hung up the phone and dialed 911.
Mike knew the police wouldn't respond immediately so he had nothing to worry about even if she did call them,
She wouldn't be able to give any information regarding him because you see, Mike wasn't even his real name.
"SOMEONE IS TRYING TO BREAK INTO MY HOUSE! I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING BUT HE WANTS TO HARM US!" Ella shouted at the top of her lungs.
But the silence she heard outside caught her off guard because it looked like Mike had conceded and ran away.
However, that wasn't the case as a loud thud could be heard against the door and on the second try, the door gave way and Mike stood there with an evil grin across his face.
"That wasn't very nice of you, Ella," Mike said before walking towards her, she had the phone on her ear.
"Hang it over now," Mike commanded but Ella knew if she did then she would have no means of communication.
The emergency service was still active so they could hear everything that was happening, this included tracking their location.
She just needed to stay on the phone a little longer but Mike was gaining in on her, he knew what she was doing. Enjoy new stories from мѵʟ
Ella wasn't Jane, he had no problems hurting her and this was why he charged at her intending to do just that.
It was either she followed him or he put a bullet in Ella's head.
Kyle's decision to not involve the police or hide the truth from everyone ultimately backfired.
"What are you doing!?" Jane was scared, her voice shaking with fear.
"Follow me and I won't have to kill this bitch," Mike spewed profanity like it was his first language.
"Ella, I'm sorry," Jane said, she knew that Ella wouldn't want her to follow him because there was a chance that she wouldn't come back.
Her faith in the police wasn't strong, they could only work with limited information given to them as well.
It finally clicked at this moment, Ella looked at Mike with so much hatred that made him momentarily uneasy.
"It was you! You were the one who attacked Kyle!" Ella barked but Mike didn't react to this accusation.
Jane looked horrified, she couldn't believe what she was hearing but that would make sense as to why he was here.
She didn't know this side of him even existed. No, she didn't have any idea who the man before her was, this wasn't Mike. This wasn't her friend she had known over the years.
"W-Why would you do that?" Jane questioned but Mike simply sighed.
"I ran out of bullets, that is the only reason he is alive... It is because of you that I know he is alive, you helped me Jane because you never knew how to keep your damn mouth shut," Mike mocked her before grabbing her by the wrist and yanking her.
"Let's go!"
Ella watched her friend leave her side and there was nothing that could be done.
She sobbed but Jane had to be brave, there was nothing any of them could do at that moment because if this man was willing to take Kyle's life.
It must not be his first time and Mike had smashed her phone before leaving so she couldn't contact anyone. But what was Mike's plan with Jane?
