Arrest her, she's the thief

Early the next morning, Zoey was sound asleep on her comfy bed when she was jolted awake by a young housemaid who was in her early twenties.

" Miss! Miss please wake up! Miss... "

Her eyes snapped open and she groggily glared at the panicking little maid with red shot eyes.

What she detested the most was being disturbed from her beauty sleep.

What was that important for her to be roughly woken up like that?

Damn, her ears were aching from her shrieking!!

" What?! Is the house on fire? "

" No miss, b-but something happened! You have to come downstairs immediately. "

Zoey's groggy eyes fully snapped open when she saw her panicked expression and trembling body.

She kicked the blankets and jumped from her bed.

" What happened?? Did s-something happen to grandpa or grandma? Are they okay? What's happening, say something! "

She clenched the maid's shoulders and shook them raining questions on her. Her face had gone pale a little as she imagined the worst scenarios.

The maid whose shoulders were being violently shaken like a leaf shook her head incessantly waving her hands at Zoey.

" No they're okay, it's not them. S-something else. "

Zoey breathed in relief removing her slightly trembling hands from her.

She lowered her eyebrows and squinted her eyes trying to figure out what was going on.

The maid whose words were stuck in her throat held her hand and quickly led her downstairs.

When Zoey's eyes fell on the living room downstairs, she froze on the spot.

Beads of cold sweat started forming on her face as her breathing and heart rate accelerated.

The first person to notice was the pervert who had being giving her numerous nightmares.

He was in an all black attire and had worn a mysterious and creepy expression on his dazzling face.

Her relatives especially grandpa and grandma eyed her and shook their heads in disappointment.

All kinds of police were all uniformly alligned professionally at the large living room in the mansion with their frightening huge guns mercilessly pointing at her.

Zoey was shaken to the core. She felt a stabbing pain in her chest as her heart pounded hard and fast against her chest.

' Oh my God, w-what happening?!! '

She couldn't believe her doom had finally arrive. She had ignored the premonitions in her heart. The frightening thoughts she had shrugged off to the back of her mind had finally come to happen.

She bit her lips hard trying to think of an escape but before she could take a step back she heard the man's haunting voice downstairs.

" Officers, she's the thief. Arrest her. "

His voice was extremely cold and it sent shivers down her spine, freezing her such that her body became glued on the floor.

Zoey was seated at the back of the police car, being transported to the police station. Her aghast tiny face was terribly pale and her whole body was cold and numb. Her eyes were lost as she sat unmoving with a straight posture.

Her hands were in those cold metallic cuffs that reminded her that she wasn't in a dream. Two police officers were also seated at both of her sides with guns pointing unforgivably at her. Proving the seriousness of the matter.

Alarm rang in her head when she noticed that they weren't heading in the right direction of the police station.

Her senses jolted when she saw the greeneries and the bumpy road ahead of them. There wasn't a single building at the sight.

Seems like they had left the city and we're headed to the countryside.

The air suddenly turned chilly giving her a lot of goosebumps on her milky skin.

' I'm I finally going to die?!!! No!!!! '

Her mind screamed in horror.

" This is not the way to the station, where are you taking me?!! Let me go, I want to get out now!!! "

She screamed at the face of the two officer struggling with all her strength.

" I want to get out now!!! "

" Keep quiet! "

Ordered one officer threatening her with the gun while the other held her in place.

" Are you that curious? Fine, I'll tell you. Have you heard anything about cannibals, vampires or even ghosts? "

The voice of the man who had destroyed her life sounded from the front seat.

Zoey's face turned icily cold as she froze on her seat and stopped kicking a fuss when he heard his words.

The man turned his face to the back facing her and smirked evily once he noticed her frozen expression.

" Don't worry, I'll tell you a story. The mountains are far, we got long way to go. " He dramatically paused creating more tension.

He tksed and shook his head.

" You'll make some good cash. After all, you're just some poor student and I need to refund my money thus... " He stopped midway and shrugged.

Zoey's mind finally registered what he meant.

To the mountains? Money? As in... S...sell me to the mountains?

Ghosts? Vampires?

' Oh goodness!!! I can't die!!! N... not now... '

Her mind blacked out and her throat tightened.

When she difficultly found her voice, she shrieked at the top of her voice. She let out a high pitched and ear splitting scream.

" AAAAHHH!!!! HELP!! "
