Chapter 2: Chapter 2
"Hi, I am Ana. I just rented the apartment. Mrs. Shelby asked me to get the keys from you", I gesture towards my apartment door.
"Oh, so you are the new tenant. Come on in and welcome here. Just be careful of the toys. Have a seat. God! It's freaking hot. So.. let me just change into a robe... By the way... There are chips ..", she keeps going on about god knows what while I look around her apartment.
It looks like a toy store exploded here. Everything is covered with soft toys. Sooo many colors ... characters... I don't even recognize some of them. I pick up a Pooh from the couch and look up to find her tying her robe.
Did she just change right there, in front of me???
"Let me look around for the keys. They must be somewhere here", and she starts looking around on the table, under the table, under the couch, in her rooms, kitchen and she even pulled open some toys zipping them open and then discarding them muttering some vicious curses on making her late. Finally, the keys were found in the cereal box on the table.
"Here... Your keys. I am just going to my job. And here is a welcome gift for you", and with that, she basically threw me out of the apartment with that Pooh in my hand.
I look at the closed door and ignore the urge to do something to her.
I take my suitcase, open my apartment which actually came fully furnished thankfully. After two more rounds, I had all my luggage.
I unpacked all the items, get them placed properly, do a light dusting and sweeping.
The place was already clean and practically perfect. After being done with everything finally, I look at my phone. It's already 5 pm and I am hungry. So I decided to take a shower and then go around looking for actual food or the dinner would be just a packet of chips in my bag.
I take a nice, cold shower, and then get dressed. I sit on the couch searching for a store on my phone. I also make a list of all the little things I need to buy like a bulb, a screwdriver as I notice some of them loose on the latches.
Suddenly there is a knock at the door. I look around at the clean place, feel happy and nervous because I am going to live all alone for the first time and go to receive my first guest. I open my door with a big smile. Huh, no one is outside. That's weird. Must be children from downstairs pranking.
I look around and look down to see a huge knife on a white box on the floor. That doesn't look normal nor safe. Even my neighbor is away on her job.
I suddenly remember all those horror movies I watched and murder mysteries I read and feel somehow it is my turn. It's just my first day in the city. How can anyone target me? From the size of the knife, it can probably finish me in one stroke. I don't want to die. I should probably return to my home town and teach the kids. What if there is some kind of dead animal in the box.
Oh my god, I am freaking out. Oh, please at least let me earn some money before killing me. I slowly bend down to check the box after confirming no one is around, and no one magically entered my apartment like when it often happens in those movies.
Did I tell you I am a scaredy-cat? Yes, yes and I regret like hell watching any horror movie for a lifetime. Just as I am about to touch the box, suddenly someone touches my shoulder. "Aaaahhhhh!!!! ", I scream suddenly scared and fall on my behind.
