Blood everywhere, your eyes darted around the room, "so much blood.." you whispered, you could only shake in fear, moving wasn't possible. A tear rolled down your cheek as you saw the bodies, on the floor, your father sprawled across the floor, knife near him. You slowly and cautiously moved towards him, being careful of your surroundings. Looking closer at him, his jaw missing, blood smeared all over his face, and his eyes were torn out, leaving black holes. A small shuffling sound, made you look around carefully, not moving just staring around at your surroundings. "Your next" in blood was dripping down the wall, very fresh by the smell. You slowly made your way to the other body. Your sweet mother, now with her limbs torn off, but not far from her body, bone sticking out of both. Her neck was slit, her heart half hanging out of her mouth and blood was slowing now. A hole in her stomach, her insides laying around her, they both lay in a pool of dark crimson blood. You covered your mouth in horror and disgust. Looking around again, you grabbed the phone which had blood on it and wiped it off on your black shirt. More shuffling came from near the door to the kitchen. Shaking you went over to the door, trying to be quiet and not draw attention to yourself. floorboards creaked near you. Panicked, you tried unlocking the door, but it wouldn't unlock, goosebumps rising in your arms. You kept fiddling with the lock until it finally opened. "Oh, y/n~" a deep voice called. You didn't turn around, you sprinted for the street, heavy footsteps following behind you. The street lights blaring in front of you, standing in the middle of the street, shaking uncontrollably, you turned on the phone, greeted by a picture of your parents, smiling, and you stood in the middle of them, with a big grin. A tear rolled down your cheek. You opened found the app to make calls, and dialed the police, "police what's your eme-" "there's a murder on re-" there was the sound of a stick snapping not too far away from you " RENK STREET!" panic in your voice "what's the address and what happened?" the operator spoke calmly "35, MURDER BE QUICK!" a figure from the shadow charged at you, jumping out of the way. "Someone is on the way," a faint voice from the phone said. The figure's icy gaze gave you chills, he was tall, his face was covered by a black mask, long black hair behind him, a beanie on top. He sprinted at you. A sharp pain in your shoulder, spinning around to face the man. You quickly looked over your shoulder to see a bright red coming from the wound. Backing up but not taking your eyes off him, you found a long kind of sharp stick, grasping it tightly, he was charging at you again, swinging the stick with as might force as you can muster, you hit him in the side making him stumble to the side holding his side. His giggles were deep and psychotic, he slowly looked at you, and his hair moved to the side. His eyes locked on you. and he charged at you. A stick to the head. Deep pain in your calf, looking down you saw the knife, wincing in pain you left it there. The man slowly started to sit up, his gaze still on you, backing up again looking around but keeping an eye on the man. You found a metal pole that was about as tall as you. The man was up again, pulled a silver karambit from his pocket, swinging it around his finger. He bolted at you, knife in hand. He was aiming for your chest, fear rising, barely able to move again, you took a deep breath and held up the pole at the last second, the knife getting stuck in the pole. "Dammit" he muttered, his voice deep, he was pulling on his knife trying to get it out, quickly spinning the pole around he let go. He charged at you, pushing you to the ground. A heavyweight on your chest. He took off his mask. Looking carefully at you. He had a scar along his left cheek that started near his left eye and went down his face to part of his neck, he had a smirk. You noticed a blue and red light in the background quickly approaching. He pulled the knife out of your leg. Biting your lip in pain. "Come on y/n~ you know you want to scream in pain, and I'll make you scream~," he said, whispering it into your ear, a chill went down your spine. He stabbed the knife into your side, wincing in pain, the knife was getting spun inside you. "AH!" you screamed in pain. He pulled the knife, now covered in a dark red, he held it up to his mouth and licked the blood off. "You taste sweet my little y/n~," he said as he stabbed the knife back into your stomach. Tears started to roll down your cheeks "aw don't cry y/n, it will be over soon~" he said as he wiped your tears away and pulled the knife out, and forcefully stabbed it into your chest just touching your lung. You let out a blood-curdling scream. "Good y/n~," he said, moving the knife around. He was then pulled off you. You covered your stomach where he stabbed you. Police were holding onto him, people were now coming out of their houses to see what happened. A young lady, your neighbor, Ella was next to you, helping you sit upright, you stared at the man as he tried to get out of the cop's grasp, about 4 cops were trying to get him to stay and not escape, paramedics helped you up into the back of the car. "Miss, do you have any connection to" "yes I do, may I come with and help?" she asked climbing into the car and sitting near you, they closed the door and before long everything was spinning, followed by darkness.

pain was the only thing you felt. Opening your eyes, a dull light was there. "Y/n! I'm so glad you're alive!" you looked to your left to see, James, your childhood friend, he was taller than you and a year older, but you have gotten along well with him. "So y/n are you able to tell us what happened?" a new voice spoke, it sounded gruff, you saw a few cops on the other side, their uniforms neat, badges shiny. "Well...I'm not too sure what happened" "can you tell us what you were doing at the time?" "I was going to get a drink when I noticed the bodies on the floor.." a few tears rolled down your cheeks. James hold your hand, the cops were taking notes "and someone was in the house and that's how we ended up outside '' taking a deep breath. A knock on the door and an oldish looking nurse walked in "ah you're awake now y/n, how are you feeling?" she asked. bringing over a tray. The food on it looked pretty good, there was a small bowl of a blue-colored jelly, a drink in a travel mug, and a bowl of fruit salad. "Everything hurts miss" "well we can give you some painkillers'' she said walking out and returning with some water and some white pills, you picked up the shiny silver spoon and got some jelly, it was quite good, maybe even the best you have ever had. She passed you the pills and water, which you took with ease "thank you" "your welcome, also in a week you can be released if there are no problems" her voice was quite soft.Throughout the week, people were coming to check on you. Mainly James and your cousin Lily. she was bringing more clothes over for you and moving your stuff into her house "Lily, am I allowed to stay here for the night with y/n?" "well y/n do you want him to stay?" you nodded "alright, we'll be back in a few minutes with some stuff," she said as they both left, James waved on the way out, and you did the same.About an hour later they returned, both with a bag full of things. They started to set up an area where they could sleep for the night "we brought snacks and movies!" James said, excitement in his voice, as he held up a green bag. "Very nice," you said, holding up a thumb, smiling.After a few hours of chilling and watching movies, James out of nowhere asked "so do you think you will be going back to school the day after you're out?" "I think it's best if y/n stays home for a bit, don't you think jasper?" "yea true" sadness in his voice.

You were sitting in class, the teacher was going on about the homework, but you weren't paying any attention to her. You felt a hand on your shoulder which made you jump and quickly cover the paper you were writing on. "Whatcha doing?" a voice said, you looked over to see it was James "nothing," you said trying not to sound confused, he grabbed your arm and lifted it, quickly grabbing the piece of paper underneath "ah trying to figure out something about the killer?" he asked, smiling slightly, you stared at him blankly. "Ooo time travel?" he cooed, you quickly snatched the paper off him "maybe" you mumbled. "Well I don't think you're ever going to find him," James said, trying to be quiet. "James, what's the homework for this week?" Ms. Fern asked, looking over at us, arms crossed, you can see all the freckles on her arms as she stood there. "Uhm" James looked over at you for help. "Don't ask Y/n for help" started to walk towards us, her long sky blue skirt swaying behind her. She now stood in front of us. "The answer is we have none this week James" she looked at James and then over at you "you doing alright y/n?" she asked quietly, you nodded slightly, and she nodded and went back around the class. "Well it's possible" doubt is now drowning your confidence. James ruffled your hair "even if you don't find him it's fine" James assured you, sighing as you scrunched up the paper and threw it in the bin.The whole walk home you couldn't stop thinking about what happened that night, you couldn't go down your street anymore, James was walking next to you going on about some game. "James, do you think it could be time travel?" you asked out of the blue, he stopped walking, "well it's possible, but even if they made a time machine they would tell us about it, right? And even if they did wouldn't it be stupid?" he asked picking up his pace again "how would it be stupid?" "well someone could go back in time and mess everything up and can alter our planet, and make so many changes which would ruin everything, plus murders could get away" he picked up a small brown leaf and stared at it while walking "true, but if they know certain people are going to kill, they could be stopped before that happened" "heh yea true, but it seems hard to make" you nodded.After a bit you made it to the place you were staying at, James kept walking to his house, you opened the hazel brown door, to be greeted by your cousin "yo y/n, how was school?" he asked taking your bag, and putting it onto the small table near the door. "It was alright I guess" shrugging slightly as you went to your room.
