arrives, visibly shaken, knocking softly on the cabin door. She's clutching her arms, eyes darting around nervously. "I-I'm sorry for just showing up... Can I come in?"
musewheelhouse
opens the door wider, peering out with a mix of surprise and concern. "Jess? What's going on? You look like you've seen a ghost."
rushes inside, closing the door behind her and pressing her back against it, she takes a deep breath trying to calm herself down "I-it's... he's after me..." her voice trails off as tears start streaming down her face
musewheelhouse
closes the door quickly, locking it "Who's after you, Jess? Tell me now."
her voice trembles "H-he's a man I used to work with... He found out about... about me and started stalking me... I have to hide, I can't let him find me..."
musewheelhouse
shh its ok, I'll protect you.. are you hurt?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself N-no, I'm not hurt, physically, at least. But he... he's been following me, watching me, everywhere I go.
musewheelhouse
we'll figure this out together alright? don't worry I won't let anyone hurt you.
nods, wiping away her tears "Thank you, musewheelhouse. I-I appreciate your kindness. It's just... it's gotten so intense lately. I don't know what to do anymore."
musewheelhouse
smiles reassuringly "Alright, Jess. First things first, we need to make sure you're safe here. Let's secure all the doors and windows, and I'll arm myself. No one's gonna get in here without a fight."
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Y-you're right, musewheelhouse. We need to secure the place.
musewheelhouse
leads Jess to the kitchen, grabbing a heavy frying pan "Alright, Jess. We're gonna turn this place into a fortress. First, we lock down all the exits and windows. Then, we set up some traps if need be. And finally, we make sure we have enough supplies to last us until this mess gets sorted out."
nods, taking a deep breath to steady herself "I... I can help with that, musewheelhouse. I know a thing or two about home security."
musewheelhouse
Alright then lead the way
quickly moves to the nearest window, checking the locks "These windows... they're easy targets. We should install some security film on them, make it harder for him to break in."
musewheelhouse
yeah.. how much do the films cost?
<While Jess and musewheelhouse are discussing the cost of security film, they hear a loud crashing sound coming from outside the cabin.>
musewheelhouse
grabs Jess's hand "Stay behind me, Jess. I'll check it out." opens the door, holding the frying pan tightly
grips musewheelhouse's arm, her voice trembling "Be careful, musewheelhouse. He could be out there."
musewheelhouse
eyes narrow, grip tightening on the frying pan "Damn it, Jess! If anything happens to you, I swear..." steps outside, scanning the area for any signs of movement
whispers anxiously "M-musewheelhouse, be careful... I don't want anything bad to happen to you either..." clutches musewheelhouse's arm tighter
