Chapter 3 Sarah...

"You are just acting like an insane human, no one can see me," he muttered.

Three police cars passed behind us. I took my lips in.

"You..."

I was dumbstruck, he was no more there

"Sarah, did you drink?"

"no I didn't. You are just making me so upset, I feel like strangling your neck," i said and walked away

"But you were acting all strange!!!"

Merrick's POV:

"There's definitely somethin'wrong with our friend,"

"Maybe she is drunk. We can't blame her, the one to blame is the alcohol she drank," I said almost in a whisper and she scoffed.

I suddenly felt a slight breeze past me and I looked away.

"That was strange," I muttered.

I walked to the scene.

Sarah was lost in thoughts. Her arms was folded and she was looking in thin air.

The same question ran in my mind 'what was she thinking?'

I saw a shadow beside me and i looked at my side. No one was there. What the...

The reflection moved again and I was forced to move my feet. What - was - that!!!

The shadow suddenly began to walk away and I followed it.

It walked to the alley and I grabbed my phone. It suddenly transformed into a whole man. Wait a second.

,, Flashback ,,

"Mr Merrick, does this person looks familiar?" A lady cop asked me and I looked at Sarah.

"No, he doesn't,"

"Okay, in case, you see him anywhere, please inform me,"

,, Presently ,,

I started taking pictures of him and Immediately sent it to the lady cop.

My phone rings, my eyes collided with his and he scoffed.

"What about I take Sarah away," I heard his cold masculine voice.

I speed walked towards the scene....

I saw Sarah, she was so disturbed.

"Sarah?" I called and she flinched.

"What are you thinking of?"

"Nothing. Just a thing that you guys did not believe me" she groaned

I held her hand and she looked at me.

"Are you okay Merrick?"

"Don't let go of my hand Sarah,"

"Why?"

"Sarah, shut up," I groaned.

I saw him again and he smirked evilly.

"Do not let go of me,"

'what about I take Sarah away' I heard the man's voice again and closed my eyes.

"Umm....I need to go to the restroom,"

"Why?"

"Cause of yesterday,"

"What happened yesterday?"

"I drank liquid and I really need to go to the lady's room,"

"I am coming with you,"

"What?"

"Common Sarah,"

I followed her to a public restroom and she looked at me with a confused state of mind before going inside.

"Don't come in Merrick, don't act a pervert," she said from the inside

"Okay, just be quick."

I saw Jessica coming towards me in a perplexed mood..

"Why are you standing by the lady's room?"

"Cause Sarah's in...'

"So you became her bodyguard?"

"I ain't her bodyguard. See Jessie, somethin'weird happened today and it totally involves Sarah,"

"So you became her bodyguard?"

"Call it all you want Jessica."

"Sarah??" I called and heard no reply.

"She isn't replying,"

"Sarah?" I called again and no reply. What the...

I slammed the door hard, still no reply.

I hit the door and tried to break it down. Jessica helped me and we both succeeded.

The door broke down and we both ran into the restroom.

I both checked the whole rooms, no one was there.

"But you said she was here," Jessica said.

I nodded my head in agreement.

I looked out the window, nothing suspicious happened here.

'what about I take Sarah away' the voice echoed again.

I dialed the cop digits

Sarah's POV:

After emptying my bladder, I washed my hands and then wanted to head out.

"Sarah?" I heard a familiar voice.

I turned around, saw Mr gardener. He walked to me and smiled.

"Come with me," he said and I flinched.

"What are you gonna do?' I asked placing my hand on my chest.

"Nothing, I am gonna do nothing. Just come with me Sarah,"

"No I don't wanna," I squeaked.

He grabbed my hand and I screamed.

"Please, please, don't kill me, please!" I said in hesitation.

"I won't kill you,"

'why can't Merrick hear my voice?'

"He can't hear you," he said and I looked at him.

He came towards me and I moved aback.

"Sarah, I won't kill you."

"Promise you won't kill me?"

"I won't kill you Sarah. I just need you.." he said and I widened my eyes.

He suddenly carried me and took me out. Outside,I meant, I suddenly saw him going through the walls. What the....

I started screaming for help but he won't let me go.

"Please,"

"I won't kill you," he said again.

"Hey stop!!!" I heard Merrick's voice from behind and I smiled happily. He is here to save me.

The man smirked and looked at me.

"You are caught. You are going to jail Mr gardener,"

"Unfortunately, i don't go to jail, I take humans to jail." He muttered and I widened my eyes.

"Wha...'

I suddenly saw myself in an unpleasant place. Isn't this the alley??

I heard police sirens and looked at him.

He pointed to the wall and I looked at it. It was a black hole.

"What is that?"

"We are going in there,"

"Where?'

"That Black Portal,"

"Please, please, don't kill me," I knelt in front of him and he chuckled.

"I won't kill you Sarah. You just have to go through the Black Portal with me,"

"Pleaseeee," I begged again and he just scoffed.

He moved his feet and wanted to lift me up.

"Stop there and don't move!!" I heard a masculine voice.

I looked beside me and saw so many cops with both long guns and short ones.

I wanted to run to them. He grabbed my shirt and stopped me from running to them.

"Please," I begged.

"Let go of her!!!" I heard Merrick's voice.

"Unfortunately, I won't."

"If you don't let go of her, we will shoot!" One of the cops threatened.
