Michael

You went to the store to buy groceries for the New Year. And it's time to celebrate the New Year. After four hours of shopping, including shopping for gifts for your father, You were walking along the park alley, your pace calm, your mind on nothing. Except for how you were going to ruin New Year's with your dad and then with your friends. When you reached your street, you noticed a man following you. You didn't think much of it, but for some reason you felt uneasy. You quickened your pace a little, and he quickened his pace too, but he was approaching you too quickly. You ran, screaming for help, and then he caught you, but it was no use. You kneed him between the legs, and he doubled over and hissed. You ran, turned into an alley, and ran toward your house. But when you got there, you carried in the bags and then walked out. Michael stood behind one house and looked at you carefully.

"What a fool she is, thinking she'll run away from me, no way. Not so fast, today is my day, and I'll have her. I think the ransom for such a beauty will be good, right, Valentin?" he said to the man, and looked at your father. He was tied up and beaten. Michael crossed his arms and grinned. "Our game, Valentin, is just beginning. And if you tell anyone about this, I'll kill you. And your daughter will be an orphan, isn't she, 17 years old?"

He said this, his smile widening and his gaze becoming fox-like. Sly, and even sinister.

The next day, you went for a walk, forgetting that this man had probably forgotten about you and found someone else. You were walking with your friend near the cinema. And again, you met him, and a shiver and a chill ran through you. And when you told your friend about this man... He saw you and followed you, saying:

"You won't escape me, the ransom for such a beauty is high," he said and ran after you, while you and your friend started running away.
