Chapter 43 Catching The Criminal

• GENESIS
• It was yet another night, and I was left alone to protect myself from my insane pursuer. I had asked Anna to get me a knife. I kept it close to me in my bed because I was ready to kill anyone who came close to me. Even Anna and Margaret had suggested that they sleep in the same room as me, but I declined, though I would have loved it if they did. I didn't want to put anyone in danger; it was my fight after all, and I had to prove that I wasn't going to let anyone intimidate me.
• I left my light turned on this time and went to bed while the knife lay beside me. Then I turned my back to the door just so my pretend sleep could be believable. Even when I knew I could never sleep no matter what I did, my room was a scary place to be in, and so was my sleep.
