Jake watched her run away to cath up with her friends and looked down at the corpses before her then he looked at his right hand.
He touched her. He finally got to touch her and what made things better was the fact that he got to talk to her despite not maintaining eye contact with her. A smile slowly emerged on his face and despite the paramedics hauling away the two corpses and checking on the victim found tied up in the room, he quickly left his things behind and ran back to his apartment in happiness. Slamming the door behind him, his chest heaved with excitement and looked at his right hand again in disbelief.
'I touched her!' he thought to himself. 'After all this time! After all this time I finally touched her! I even talked to her for the first time in years!'
Still brimming with excitement, he rushed to his room and grabbed his pen to write in his journal but stopped short.
'What the hell am I doing?' the pen in his hand clattered as he dropped it abruptly and he rushed to get changed. 'I am an idiot! I am an idiot! An idiot! An idiot! I shouldn't be here! I should be protecting her!'
He finally got dressed in his assasin attair with consisted of a black sleeveless shirt, tight black jeans, and a pair of black sneakers. He immediately adorned himself with a set of knives, his phone, and a digital camera.
'After what happened in the cooking club, I can't let her out of my sight!' he thought as he quickly ran out of his apartment and down the street to the police station. 'She could be in danger and I won't be there to take care of her!'
Fortunately, he got to the police station, she was still there with her friends talking about Caroline spending the night in the police station. He gritted his teeth at Aubrey's childish behavior of stumping her foot and rolled his eyes at Emma's concern for her friend but he was grateful none of them followed Emma on her way home.
"Her friends are so pathetic!" he muttered as he walked behind her. "You were traumatized and none of them bothered to walk you home! How pathetic! Yet they call themselves your friends! They are all stupid! Stupid and..."
The he stopped and quickly walked into a shop next to him. Through the window, he watched Emma look behind her with a mix of concern and confusion on her face before walking away. He heaved a sigh of relief and quickly left to follow her.
'That was close! She almost saw me!' irritation gnawed at him. 'All this hiding around is rediculous! We are getting nowhere to knowing each other at this rate!'
He followed her until she reached her apartment building, hid and quickly took pictures of her with his digital camera looking around with fear before slipping into her apartment room.
'We can't keep doing this Beloved,' he whispered. 'We can't keep meeting like this. We need to talk but how?'
The question pondered him as he continued to watch the building until he saw her walk out. Curious, he followed her, taking the familiar path that lead to the school and took a picture of her staring at the building. Through his camera, he saw the curiosity and worry in her eyes and a shiver went up her spine.
'Now is the chance I have to talk to her!' he thought with excitement but when he looked up from his device, he saw her walking away. 'No! No! No! No! Don't go! Please don't go!'
Emma heard the footsteps coming closer and without looking back, she quickened her pace. Jake noticed this and although he was tempted to grab her and initiate a conversation, he decided to count his loss and follow her until she got to her apartment. The door slammed shut and he could hear a click signalling she locked the door. He heaved a sigh of relief, sent a her a message and continued to look at the building.
Then his phone ringed with a message but when he looked at it, he was met with a picture of him following her and message which read, 'You are good but you have to be careful next time.'
'Who the hell?' he thought as he grip on the phone tightened. 'Who are you?'
May 14th
11:30PM
'I talked to you again! I can't believe it! The conversation we had in the hospital on May 12th will forever be the best thing that has ever happened to me!
Its a shame I had to lie to you. I didn't want to tell you that I am an assassin who kills people for money...'
He paused for a while and his smile widened.
'And fun. I also kill people for fun. I can't help it though. Everything in my life is brighter now that you are here with me.
Well the reason why I went to the hospital that day is because I had to get rid of a bullet I got during my last mission thanks to an imbecile called Leo. He is always jealous of me and he tried to kill me but I made sure he escaped with a parting gift from me. Its a good thing he doesn't know about you because if he did...'
Then his phone rang interrupting his journalling and he when he looked at it, he glared and ignored it but whoever it was called repeatedly until he answered it.
"Hello?" he snapped.
"Jake darling," a flirtatious voice cooed. "I haven't seen you for a while. How are you?"
The hair on his body stood on end when he heard her voice and passed a hand over his face in rage.
"You have missed more than three weeks of our weekly therapy sessions," her professional tone added to her flirtatious one. "When are you coming? I miss you."
Then like someone struck by lightning, Jake's hand flew over his mouth and he quickly rushed to the bathroom where he threw up in the toilet. The voice on the phone who was lying on the floor continued to call his name until the call ended. Exhausted, Jake looked up with tears in his eyes and cried loudly as the thought of his Beloved finding out about his carnal relationship with his therapist haunted him. He sat on the tilled floor crying and dark thought slowly crept inside him.
Then his phone beeped with a voice text from an unknown number. Confused, he studied the number and slowly came to the realisation that it wasn't one of his many clients. His suspicion grew so he played the voice text and his eyes grew at the sound of the familiar voice.
"Hello Doctor are you in...Yes...Yes I will be there...same time...good I will see you soon."
It was Emma's voice and he played the recording repeatedly until another text appeared.
'This is free. Don't get used to it!'
May 19th
15:00 P.M
'I hate hospitals. The smell of the sterilized halls brings back terrible memories of my days in the hellhole my parents sent me to years ago. Many of us sustained ghastly injuries thanks to the grueling training we received for the third world war and the doctor at the 'infirmary' would pour strong antiseptic on our wounds and send us on our way. To put it simply, the memory of the smell reminded me of how we smelt blood and chemicals, and it still makes me sick. I guess that's what I get for having a strong nose.
When I heard the recording that you were going to the hospital I was worried and excited that you were sick because I could finally have you to myself, take care of you, and pamper you as much as want!
Unfortunately, you were only there to get checked for disease. I talked to one of the nurses who was skeptical of me until I told her I was a distant cousin and she told me you come to the hospital every month to get checked by the doctor because you were paranoid of getting disease. Although relieved that you were in good health, I was slightly disappointed because I couldn't spoil you as planned. Just the thought of you wrapped up in bed and me spooning your favorite pudding in your mouth every day excited me and now it's gone...'
Then he stopped short and looked out the window in silent frustration. Fed up, he dropped his pen, picked up his jacket, and stormed out of the apartment. Soon he found himself standing in front of Emma's apartment building in silent anticipation and fear.
'What am I going to tell her? What am I going to tell her? What am I going to tell her?' were the thoughts running through his mind as he walked up the steps. He silently calmed himself down and knocked on the door.
A middle-aged skinny woman with heavy make-up, dyed red hair wearing an oversized pink nightgown, and smoking a cigarette opened the door and frowned at him. "What do you want?"
Jake gulped. "Is Emma here?"
"No she went out to see her friends," the woman replied taking a drag of the cigarette and blowing the smoke in his face. "Who are you and what do you want?"
"I am her boyfriend."
This made the woman do a double take at the boy in front of her; tall, physically built with long black messy hair, bags under his eyes, and pale skin. She narrowed her eyes at him and leaned forward.
"Are you sure that you are her boyfriend?" she asked, her teeth digging into her cigarette. "Prove it!"
Unsure of what to do, Jake scrambled a bit wondering if he should show her pictures of his Beloved until he had an idea. Wearing a smirk, he dug into his pockets and took out a roll of money.
The middle-aged woman's eyes glowed when she saw the money, snatched it from his hand, and counted the money.
'Four hundred yen!' she thought staring at the boy who was grinning at her. 'Who is this kid?'
"I can buy you a pack of beer if you want?" Jake added and his grin grew wider as she smiled excitedly.
Hearing this, her suspicion was replaced with a smile and she hugged him. "Ah! Anyone who would give me four hundred yen is already my son-in-law!" she squealed before opening the door wider. "Well don't just stand there! Come in! Come in! I hope you have more money to give me!"
Fortunately for her, he did.
12:00 A.M
'Now, where was I...
I went to Beloved's apartment and didn't like what I saw. It wasn't too filthy but the smell of cigarettes, beer, and fast food was in the air. Your Aunt dared to say the mess was your fault because you were 'too busy with school to clean up the place'. Yet she stays home and does nothing but smoke cigarettes, drink beer, and go to her part-time job every day.
Well, I helped you clean up the place and decided to buy her enough beer to leave you alone,e, and add extra money to keep my visit a secret. I wanted to go but I couldn't stand the thought of you being alone with that woman so I stayed in your room to make sure you were back home. As I was watching you study, I got a message from the same number as before accusing me of being a stalker.
I'm not a stalker. A stalker is someone who harasses or persecutes someone with unwanted and obsessive attention. I'm not harassing or persecuting you. I am protecting you.
In fact, I am sitting next to you watching you sleep; your chest rises and falls in rhythm with your breathing means you are having a pleasant sleep. I love watching you sleep but it gets boring after three hours so I am writing in my journal to pass the time.'247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz3z8Ff3AN
Emma stirred in her sleep causing Jake to turn to her. He watched her turn to his side and smiled when she grinned in her sleep then slightly opened her mouth letting a drip of saliva fall from the corner of her mouth. Silently, he closed his journal, he reached out and scooped some saliva into his mouth.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHoBcfnPO4
'So this is how you taste like,' he purred savoring the taste. 'It feels so good!'247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFelcHtt7W
Emma stirred again, smiled and gave a mischievous chuckle that excited him but his thoughts quickly turned to the person sending him the threatening messages. Picking up his phone, he scrolled through the information he got from his phone:247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDWTGCXz2T
First name: Alice247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa11DQv2bhr
Last name: Unknown247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe5mbuGuHK

Apperance: Red-haired, red-eyes, pale-skinned, likes to wear red stockings, always walking around wearing a baseball bat.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeFhMA4yhj
Additional information: Rumors has it that she made a deal with a mysterious person to kill her sister and her parents making her an orphan but there is no information about that.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXO2FtqsO2
'She told me she was going to help us be together in exchange for killing Caroline; a girl who is part of your friend group but I refused her offer.' he thought looking back at Emma with a smile on his face. 'I am well on my way in making sure we stay together Beloved so we don't need her but I get rid of her before things escalate.
Three days later...247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcIREzyqMf
Sitting on a bench in the school garden, Alice crossed her feet while loudly listening to music from her phone. Soon a group of girls sat next to her and started complementing her taste in music. Alice smiled and said nothing while the girls continued talked to her until one of them looked back and whispered something in her ear.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa5sAWr28a
"Someone is watching you." she whispered out loud.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZaGnUdWYU
Alice looked back and smiled broadly before clicking her teeth. "I am going to the bathroom. Keep my spot warm for me okay?'
The girls looked back at her with concern but nodd. Alice winked and walked all the way to the girls bathroom but walked around the building instead and leaned on the wall humming a tune.
"I underestimated you Yandere kun." she said.
"What did you call me?" Jake snapped.
Alice grinned and turned to face him with mischeivious smile on her face but wasn't surprised to see him wearing a serious look.
"Aww, you really take the fun out of your character." she coeed striking a pose and wagging her finger at him and chuckled. "Where is the crazy smile you guys always wear when you want to kill someone? Did you misplace it or something? Or did you see your Beloved with someone better than you?"247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrtXL0vnNb
'Oh she wants a smile huh?' Jake thought as a sadistic smile grew on his face as he took out his haunting knife. 'I'll give you a smile.'
"There it is," she cooed brandishing her baseball bat. "Lets get this party started!"
Before Jake could react, Alice charged at him and swung the bat in his direction. He dodged her precise swings and placed a kick at her knocking her off balance and swiped her knife at her but missed.
"Pathetic! Is this how you kill your victims?" she taunted swinging the bat at his head but missed. "Come on show it to me!"
Unbeknowst to her, Jake was only assessing her movements and figured out that they were repeatetive. So he quickly changed the position of his life and with one strike, he slashed at her when she charged towards him. The knife came in contact with her chest and face creating a huge scare and before she could recover from the shock, he stabbed her on the head.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhwfQYfPwx
"Do you like me now?" he whispered. To his shock, she smiled, swung her bat at his ribcage. Doubling over in pain, he looked up to see Alice laughing.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwIERznWrg
"You really impressed me Yandere kun," she said pulling out the knife from her forehead. "But its not enough."
Before his very eyes, he watched her stab herself in the abdomin and drag the knife across it creating a huge incision but was shocked to see the injuries close up at a fast pace tissue by tissue despite the blood on her forehead and her uniform. With the setting sun behind them, everything seemed like a fever dream to him until the blade was aimed at his neck.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD95CHFXd6T
"Its a pleasure to meet you. My name is Alice and my ability is to clean up crime scenes. That's why the cops don't know anything about our 'club activities'." she said with a chuckle. "I guess you figured out I was the one who sent you those messages."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRB4j3lPbK
Jake stared at her until he frowned. "You knew I was going to kill you?"
Alice laughed. "You were predictable. All yanderes are predictable unless they go our of script or double down on their character but so far you have disappointed me."
Suddenly, Jake snatched the knife and aimed it at her neck. "I am not here for your entertainment you cockroach."
"Neither am I but it was nice to watch her get paranoid." she replied fearlessly with a smirk on her face. "But I am not here for that. I am here to help you get closer to her."
Jake clicked his tongue and grinned. "I don't need you."
"You do. You need me to get rid of Caroline. She knows who you are."
Hearing this faltered Jake's expression and he lowered his stance. "What do you mean?"
"She knows who you are and plans to tell her you were the one behind everything." then she leans closer to him. "She is determined to make sure that no one comes between her and Emma for some reason but no one knows why. She says there is something special about her and I don't know why."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbK7954UQb
Hearing this, Jake immediately recalled the conversation he heard from Caroline and this peeked his interest and signed. "Fine what do you want?"247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2UkorfQIR
"Here's the deal yandere kun, I will tell you everything you need to know about everything including my ability but in exchange, you need to get rid of Caroline before she uses you to trap her. Understood?"247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBalfEDDXg
Hearing this, Jake jerked his head back and hummed in thought. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGg7ct9l9H
"But you need to get rid of her minions and one is already making a move to do her bidding." With that, she walked passed him. "I don't know what is so special about her but if its is enough for her warrant her determination to keep her, then you have your work cut out. You already have my number so we will communicate from there."247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa03gEm4SD0
