From Despair To Hopeful

Darkness

                    It's been several months since this house felt lively. Those times were probably the best times of my life. The family that I once knew was gone. All that was left of them was the memories of the great but as well as the horrifying. I slowly get up off of my bed and stretch. I slowly stretch my back out, it's the best feeling in the world. I slowly walk out of my room. As I'm walking out of my room I look at the walls, seeing the pictures of me with my family. All so happy. All so alive... I start walking towards the kitchen to get something to drink. I arrive at the kitchen as it is down the hall from my room. I live alone. Not a very big home. But a decent size. Since no other family would take me in, I lived alone in the home I grew up in. I went to flick the switch to turn on the light, but as I did that nothing happened. Looks like the powers out I said to myself. I grabbed a glass from the cabinets and filled it with some water. I drank all the water within a few seconds and decided to head back to bed. That was until I heard a loud thump down the hall. "What the fuck was that" Y/N said outload with worry in his voice. "I've seen one to many horror movies to see how this plays out" Y/N thought to himself. He slowly grabbed a knife from the sink, and made his way to the rooms. He slowly opened each door. To make sure nothing was out of the ordinary, or broken. He had checked all the rooms, except the last one. His younger sister's room. I opened the door, and slowly walked in." Looks like the window was shattered, but by what?" I thought to myself. " I should probably get something to cover this up. It's freezing and raining really hard tonight" I said quietly to myself. I was looking around to see what shattered the window. I was looking around the room, Until I saw a big ass rock on the wooden floor. I grabbed the rock and threw it back out the window. I walked out of the room, not realizing there was someone watching me the whole time in the closet. I went down the hall , next to the kitchen was a closet. It had all the things I would need to at least somewhat cover the window. I grabbed a hammer, some nails, and a few wooden planks, as well as a few towels. I headed back into the room. I placed all the things I had onto the bed and started getting to work. By the time I was done it was around 5:15 am. I have to get to work soon, I thought to myself. I walked out the room, closing the door behind me. I went inside of my room, grabbed my work clothes and headed into the bathroom. I took a shower. I was ready for work around 6:00am. I had to be at work at 6:30. I lived about 15 minutes away from my job. I went back into my room, grabbed my coat, and keys. It was still raining outside, but that was fine as I was wearing a coat. I started walking out the house, making my way to the car. "I wonder when it's gonna stop raining?" I thought to myself as I walked to my car. Only to realize my tires have been slashed. I was shocked to see that my tires were slashed, but at the sometime a little pissed off. " Are you serious? What the fuck!" I thought in my head. I started to circle the car to see if any other tires were slashed. Just to find out all of them have been slashed and the back left tire has a Butcher Knife sticking out of it. "Great" I said with annoyance in my voice. I sighed and walked back into the house. As soon as I walked into the house, I heard a very loud thump again. But this time it seemed to be more aggressive. I went to the kitchen, to grab the knife that I had placed down earlier in the kitchen. Just to find out that it is now gone. Nowhere to be found. " This cannot be happening" I said to myself. I slowly made my way to the rooms and checked each one of them thoroughly. Until I ended up in the last room once again. My sister's room. I slowly but cautiously entered the room. I walked into the room, and heard laughter. It frightened me. But I kept walking. I closed the door behind me, and walked over to the other side of the room, where the bed was. I checked under the bed but saw nothing. I got back up and turned around. Only to be met with a woman. She had black hair, Bleached white skin. She had a bloody carved smile, and what looked like no eyelids. She wore a white hoodie, and some jeans. But what frightened me was the smile, and eyes. She just stood there, smiling, and looked like she had my knife I had earlier. I meanly cursed myself for my stupidity, but who would have thought some crazy bitch would be in my house. I tried to hide the fact that I was shitting myself, and said " Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" I ask as calmly as I can without moving a muscle. She says" Why does it matter?" she says sarcastically and continues saying" Won't matter when you're dead!" She said with clear hints of murderous intents. She turns around and walks to the door. She finally turns around and looks at me dead in the eye. She locks the door. "Well shit" I said mentally. She says'' Looks like you have nowhere to hide!" She said this while laughing maniacally. I tried to look around the room to see if there was anywhere I could go or take cover. But Before I could do anything she charged at me, knife in hand ready to strike. As soon as she was close enough, she started swiping at me. By instinct I managed to dodge a few swipes before she ended up cutting me right in my shoulder. I winced in pain but recovered quickly. I took the chance I had to kick her right in the back. Her back was turned due to the momentum of the blade. Once I kicked her she went flying into the closet, I'm guessing she was once in. At that moment I took the chance and ran to the door, unlocking it, and running out . As I started running down the hall, into the living room. I heard a yell from the room. She had yelled" I'm going to get you! You fuck wit!" She yelled with clear hints of annoyance and murderous intents. I just kept yelling until I was at the front door. I opened the door, Just for it to be slammed shut, by what looked like a pissed off killer. She stared dead in my eyes, with her creepy cut smile, and she just started laughing. Since she wasn't paying attention due to laughing, I hooked her right in the face, opened the door and ran out. I ran over to the garage, cause I always left my bike out. I ran into the garage, opened the door. Quickly shutting the door behind me, and locking it. I opened the garage door, hopped onto my bike . But as I was about to ride off. There she is again. Pissed off this time. She yelled" DON'T THINK THAT YOU ARE SAFE!, I THINK IT'S TIME TO GO TOO SLEEP!!!" She said quickly, rushing me. She ran faster than she had last time. Before I had any time to react, She threw me off the bike, and jumped on top of me. She readied her knife to stab me right in the chest. She said " GO TO SLEEP '' she said furiously, Without a second thought, I launched her up, with my legs. Surprisingly she was very light. I ran to my bike, and without a second thought. Biked like my life depended on it. I made a good distance from where I was. Now I'm in town." What the fuck Just happened?"
