It’s not enough for Noah to just watch you from afar or strain to see through your bedroom window from the street. Eventually he wants more.
TW: Stalking, home invasion, voyeurism, non-consensual photography
♡ - It starts as a tiny hole in your bedroom wall - barely noticeable. When you do finally spot it, you don’t even think anything of it. Perhaps there’d been a nail there at some point and you forgot.
♡ - But at night you start to hear scratching. You can’t tell where it’s coming from, but it keeps you up. You toss and turn for most of the night, unable to settle, feeling like there are eyes on you.
♡ - When the next day finally comes, the hole is ever so slightly bigger. You aren’t even sure at first if you’re imagining it, until you see a small dusting of sawdust underneath where the hole is.
♡ - You try to peek inside, but you can’t see anything. Figuring it must be pests of some kind, you begrudgingly try to plug the hole with a bit of tissue paper while you call in an exterminator.
♡ - That night, you hear scratching again. Gritting your teeth and determined to get a good nights sleep, you get up and flick on the lights. Maybe you can’t get rid of whatever mice or rats have taken residence in your walls, but maybe you can deter them for a while.
♡ - Before going to find something to scare what you think are pests away, you decide to peek in the hole just to see if you can catch a glimpse with what you’re dealing with.
♡ - You put your eye to the hole, and your blood runs cold.
♡ - A human eye is staring back.
♡ - You scream and flee your apartment, and don’t return until you’ve brought a friend along with you to investigate if what you saw was real.
♡ - Your friend peeks through the hole but sees nothing. Desperate, you plead with them to help you tear down the wall to check thoroughly, and they eventually begrudgingly agree.
♡ - When the wall is opened up, it reveals the truth of what - or rather who - was in your walls.
♡ - In the wall cavity, just wide enough to fit a person, lies a makeshift seat and a camera left behind. Used tissues are littered everywhere, making you nauseous just from the very thought of what they might have been used for.
♡ - Trembling, you take the camera and play the last few minutes of footage, you and your friend watching with wide eyes. You see yourself going to sleep, tossing and turning, and eventually getting out of bed, moments before you looked through the hole. The video stops there.
♡ - Noah gets back to his apartment, out of breath, missing a camera and shaking with nerves. He’s disappointed, of course. So soon into his plan to get more close up shots of you, he nearly got caught, all because he’d been careless.
♡ - But even so, a grin spreads across his face as his cheeks turn red. You’d seen him. For the first time, his darling had looked him in the eyes.
♡ - He’d have to lay low for a while, but it was all worth it just for that. Now you know he exists. And he’s going to make sure to be extra careful next time he finds his way inside your house.
