( '･ω･)Third POV('ω｀。)

Marie sat on the sofa bundled in a blanket with a mug full of hot chocolate, which was made in the rundown microwave she had borrowed from her grandmother last year, as she watched 'Mall Cop 3' on her small television.

She lived in a two-room apartment that was the bathroom and the living room\bedroom\kitchen area. Her bed was wedged in one corner with her dresser at the foot of her bed followed by a shelf with a metal bar attached that held all her hung up shirts and dresses. In the other corner was grey marble countertops with a sink and cabinets. Marie had bought her a small refrigerator, one the college dorms usually held, to keep milk, condiments, leftovers, etc.

As 'Mall Cop' reached its climax, her phone dinged loudly while the screen lit up.

She groaned quietly to herself in annoyance as she picked the device up.

Confusion and horror crossed her face as she read the message sent to her from the unknown number.

'Hi~ I love you ❤️'

Unbeknownst that the person who sent it was watching her reactions through the window that led to the New York fire escape, wearing black head to toe that contrasted his pale skin in the moonlight.

Marie typed a reply in lightning speeds, feeling a chill run up her spine.

'Who is this?'

Receiving a reply surprisingly fast.

'The neighbor'

Her eyebrows scrunched. What did that mean? She thought carefully when it clicked.

She had a neighbor that lived above her that was quiet mostly, like the rest of her neighbors, except they were the only ones that would blast their music on high volume on Friday nights and all day Saturday. She had complained to her best friend at work about it after it happens three weeks in a row. Therefore, her neighbor being referred to as 'The Neighbor' ever since then in the workplace.

But how did they know that? And if it was her neighbor from above, why were they messaging her such things?

Another chill ran up her back, this time followed by the feeling of being watched. Her eyes and ears perked looking and watching for something, as she gazes around the room.

Suddenly a loud noise resounds from the window, making Marie's eyes to snap to the curtain-covered window.

The moonlight shined brightly outside, some streaks of light coming in through the curtain, casting shadows of the one lonely potted plant she had outside. But her eyes drifted towards the edge of the window, noticing a soft silhouette of a small man leaning against the window sill facing towards her.

She let out a screech of terror and jumped up off the coach when the window started to slide open.

She made a mad dash for the front door that was five feet away from her current spot.

She was stopped by being thrown backward back on the closest cushioned furniture, her bed.

She immediately looked in front of her laying form, there stood a menacing dark figure that had black fluffed curly hair, wearing a black sweater over black worn jeans and black high top converse. He had on glowing silver earrings that wrapped around the cartilage of his ears creating loops. His face showed no expression but his eyes sparkled with a glint of an unreadable emotion.

He walked closer to the bed, while Marie, in turn, scooted backward on the bed. Unfortunately, before she could get too far away he reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her towards him.

He spoke with a deep voice that was heavy in accent. "Where do you think you're going?" When Marie didn't answer, he continued. "You're coming with me. Without a sound, right?" His finger brushed against her jawline and down her neck.

She nodded quickly out of fear of what he would do if she didn't. He smirked evilly, happy in her answer, not really wanting to hurt her.

With that, he started dragging her towards the window and out onto the fire escape. Meanwhile, tears started spilling down Marie's face, mostly out of fear but also out of uncertainty of what would happen to her once that got to the destination the unknown man is taking her.
