The Rise Land of the Vicious series

"I want to see you at the spyflower hotel, this afternoon. Don't delay, if you don't want to provoke me!"

That was the content of the messages that just buzzed Tricia's phone one sunny afternoon. She looked at it and sighed. It wasn't the first time she had gotten such a message. They do come before and she blocks them, but each time she blocks the sender, he switches to another line. She changed her number once because of this but still the messages kept coming to her new line.

The next day, she went out with her friends to drink and while they chatted, she got another message.

"You disobeyed me yesterday and I spared you. Now I want you to come stand up from that chair and dance for me."

She was terrified at this new message. There were a lot of people in the bar with their friends. She wondered if this was a prank from a person who knew her.

The song playing in the bar suddenly changed to Tricia's best song and immediately, another message came in.

"Dance to it! It is your favourite. I'm watching!"

Tricia turned around to see if there was any suspicious looking person around, but it was just her and her friends.

"What's it Tricia? You look troubled," Bella inquired. Bella was a model too and often hung out with Tricia.

"There's nothing wrong. I just thought I saw someone I knew," Tricia lied.

She wanted to reply the message and warn the sender to stop, but her phone showed her that the sender doesn't support replies. She sighed and put her phone back.

Tricia's friends stood up for a dance and Tricia stayed back on her seat, with her mind made up to not dance to her favourite song that day.
