Excerpt:
When Erica walked into the bedroom, she was hit by a strange
yet familiar scent lingering in the air. She couldn’t place why it made her
feel uneasy. She looked around, but nothing seemed out of place. Get a grip. You’re in the middle of nowhere.
She scolded herself for having an overactive imagination. Erica walked
toward the bed, placed her bag and cell phone down, undressed, and then put her
pink robe on. She glanced toward the closet and a chill instantly went through
her body, but she couldn’t understand why. Shaking her head she turned and
headed to the bathroom.
As she reached for the doorknob her gut told her something
was wrong. Instantly her heartbeat sped up. The familiar scent hit her like a freight
train and fear immobilized her. Before she could turn around, a hand clamped
over her mouth.
“Hello Erica, did you think I’d forgotten about you?”
Terror coursed through her veins when she felt his warm
breath against her skin. Erica swallowed hard, she needed to stay calm. She
knew from experience that he would only hurt her more if she fought.
