I grabbed Sara, ran out the house, and drove off to my cousin's house. I called Emmie and began to cry while I tried to explain everything to her. Once I arrive at her house, she came running out her house as I existed out my car. 

"So how did you meet the little girl", Emmie asked as she watched Sara eat a piece of pie. "I found her by herself....in the woods", I said quietly. "Well I'm glad she found you", Emmie said. "Well I guess we should be going",I said as I stood up and picked up Sara. "Oh that's right, I forgot to tell you something. The house i got you, is in a different town and don't worry there's a big woods that's right in front of your house so you won't be home sick. "I doubt I have gotten home sick in the first place", I said. I took the keys from Emmie's hands as I thanked her. "Well are you ready to go to your new home", I said to Sara and I got behind the drive seat. "Yes Mommy", she said with a smile that warmed my heart. Maybe I finally got another reason to keep going and to be happy. 

It was hours til we actually got to the house so I had to carry Sara out the car and put her in a room upstairs. Luckily, Emmie had one of her friends come to the house and fixed a food for Sara. So Sara now has fresh clothes and a brand new room. In fact, the house is beautiful. On the outside it's paint white with a red door and in the backyard there's a beautiful pool. In the inside, the walls are velvet and it's a two story house. Also there's and attic and a basement. Yeah there's a kitchen with a table in the middle of it and a few chair but there's also a dining room. There's a room where the dry and washer is and when you walk to the back of the house there's another living room with a kitchen on the right so if someone else wants to live here with me. 

I look in the fridge then smiled as I took out a bottle of red wine and pour it into my wine glass. I then sat on the black leather couch and drank my wine as I watch TV. Out of nowhere, someone knocked on the door but when I checked to see who it was no one was there, just a teo big boxes. One was neatly pack with a note on it and the other one look like it was over filled and done sloppy, and also had a note. I laughed as I stared at the two boxes. It's like if two people wanted to see who boxes would be better and would get picked, but mostly the same person dropped it off. Which made it even funnier since it looked like the got sloppy with the second box. I just grabbed both boxes and placed them on the couch. 

She not freaking out, she's just laughing. Girl either has a death wish or just don't get frightened that easily.I like it. Well she took my boxes so I should head home already and eat dinner. I'll see her tomorrow....in person.

"Mommy, I'm hungry",Sara said as she stood at the stairs. "Well how about I make us spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread", I suggested. She happily nodded and came running at me for a hug. "I hope you never leave me", she quietly said as she hugged my legs. I crouched down and said,"I won't. I'm not your old parents and I promise I'll never be like them. We're are always going to be together, don't matter what happens." 

After I finished eating and putting Sara to bed, I decided to open the boxes. I opened the neat one first since it seemed easier to open. I then open the note that was on top of the box and began to read it;

-----------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------

I can't believe this shit. Who the fuck is Mr.Woods and why is he stalking me. I just met him. I looked inside the box to see a two journals, a white rose, art supplies, and a red silky dress. I then found another note and began to read it;
Dear Coraline,
I have a few other presents waiting for you in the basement. I hope you like them and don't get rid of them but I made sure you would like them so you might not get rid of them. I know what my lovely lady likes. 
Sincerely,
Mr.Woods.
More presents? I'm just gonna go open the second box then tommorow I'll check the basement. I opened the second box to find knives, a black phone, Japanese candy, bath bombs, and another white rose. But of course there was another note;
Told you Coraline. I know what My lady likes.
I barely meet the guy but obviously he's been stalking me for years if he knows me this well. 

"Mommy wake up, there's a man at the door. He's says he's your friend.",Sara said as she was tugging on my arm. I rolled off the couch and went to the door. I said who is it, before I slightly opened the door when I got no response. "Hi Coraline.", he said as he turned around to face me. It was Mr. Woods. "What do you want?",I said not letting him in. "To talk to you",he quickly said. "Fine but I swear try to anything stupid and I'll break you in two", I said firmly as I let him in. "Don't worry, I know you will.",Mr. Woods said as he sat on the couch. "So I see you have a three year old child with you",Mr.Woods said as he stared at Sara. "Mommy, when are you gonna make breakfast?", Sara asked. "Right now",I said as I walked into the kitchen, hoping Mr. Woods would stay sitting on the couch but of course he followed me into the kitchen. "What do you want?",I said annoyingly. "To win the heart of the girl I love",he said with a smirk. "You're in your twenties and I'm only 16." "Ow, thanks for thinking I'm old, but I'm 19." "19? And your a teacher?" "It's being intelligent. Plus if I wanted to stay close to you then I had be intelligent. Plus I know you like the smart guys.", He said as he got closer to me. "Well you can't win a girl's heart when she doesn't even know a thing about you", I told him. "Mmmmm smart girl. Well how about we get to know each other after you finish cooking.",He suggested. "Okay." "yes!! Finally I get a have some time with you" "okay Mr. Stalker, go sit on the couch and wait." "Don't call me that, call me Jackson." "So your name is Jackson Woods?" "Yes, Coraline Evergreen",He said with a smirk. After I cook for Sara and let her go to the pool in the backyard, I sat down next to Jackson as he drank the wine I had left on the coffee table from last night. "So how long have you been stalking me?", I said seriously. "I can't answer that.",He said as he began to frown. "why not." "Because then you'll end up calling the cops and I won't be able to win your heart." "Well you can't if you never tell the truth." "Fine...... I've been stalking since I was 8.....So since you were 5.",He said as he became upset. I wasn't mad nor was I scared, just simply curious on why someone would take an interest in me when I've basically been bullied all my life. But it doesn't mean I'll give him my trust. "Why", I asked calmly. "Because your personality, your heart, your wicked mind.....Ha everything about you caught my attention." I felt myself turn red but I soon brushed it off and decided to keep talking. 
It was about two hours til we finished talking. And surprisingly I was willing to be friends with him and somehow I agreed that he can live here with me. I really hate how kind I am. "Well I'm gonna go swim with Sara",I said as I got up. I went upstairs and I put on a red bikni. "Do you have no worries about a man who stalks being in your house", Jackson asked as I look at myself in the mirror. "No because if you wanted to hurt me, you would have done it already but then again I'm always prepared for a fight.",I said. "You know you are very smart...and pretty" "Smart,yes. Pretty, ha no." "Why do you say that, my dear." "just look at me. I'm not a pretty sight." Jackson then grabbed me by my hips as he sat on my bed and placed me in front of him. "You're right, you not a pretty sight for you are gorgeous as ever. Whether you see it or not.", He whispered but loud enough for me to hear. "Let go of me", I said while blushing. "Let me be your man and you shall be my love. I will not only treat you like a queen but I shall make you feel like the only girl in world for I love you and only you",He said while rubbed my hips. "You have to win my love and trust for you to be my man", I sternly said. I feel strangely comfortable with him but there's not way I'm going to give in like that. "Fine, my queen. I will do my best and I hope you don't end up lying to me about your feelings because I can't stand a woman who lies knowing it's causing damage", he said as he got up. "Mooooooooooommyyyyyy",Sara screamed at the top of her lungs with fear. My heart began to race as I ran quickly downstairs. There on the side of the pool stood a tall man in a black hood holding Sara by her shoulders. I quickly charged at him causing him to let her go and the both of us to fall in the pool. He held me under the water by my waist but I bite him so hard he bled, and was able to get fresh air. I turned to look for him but he just vanished in the pool. "What the hell just happened?!", I heard Jackson say loudly. "Sara, did he tell you anything.", I asked her as I got out of the pool. She nodded while smiling and said, "He told me to scream and look frightened because he wanted to see how well you react." "Thats explains why he did fear you. And are you telling me that you went along with some strange???", I asked very upset and very concerned. "B-B-But he said he was your dad.", she said while pouting.
