(I'm setting the season to fall- making it cooler and more set for the Halloween mood)

It was the ending of September, the weather was getting cooler, more moody for the spooky seasons. You favored the yellow and orange setting the leaves gave off on the trees. Fall was such a nice season, wasn't too hot nor cold, depending on where your located of course. Though it calmed you, the feeling felt fresh in your lungs. You loved it. It wasn't helping the fact that no matter the season the world is still scary, it's hard to survive. You'd been trying to enjoy such weather but the missing boys made you sick to your stomach.

It was hard to simply comprehend what kind of monster would take and possible murder children. It wasn't surprising, it happens more than people think. It's sad, knowing there isn't much you can do. It made you feel uneasy seeing the fliers of the young boys taken and well never found. So far the last kid taken was a sweet 13 year old boy named Finney Blake. It was sad, he'd been gone for months. Never found him, no clue to where he could be. Hasn't been any other disappearances lately besides him, and it creeped you out. What's the grabber going to plan next? What boy might go missing?

You were taking a walk, wondering to yourself about such dissappearances. Distracted from the feeling around you, the burning sensation of eyes were felt on the back of your head. Spinning on your heals to see behind you, glancing around in slight panic. Your gut told you to keep going so you did. You were close to your home and decided just to head inside, closing and locking the door. You didn't feel very safe after entering which isn't something to experience in the "safety" of your own home.

You tried to leave the thought behind. Feeling as if your overthinking, you decided on a shower. You lived in a small two bed, one bath house. Small kitchen, no basement but an attic. It was an ideal size for you, you weren't a large person, 5ft in height, petite frame. You didn't need much space, it was perfectly enough for what you had. Walking into the bathroom you glance into the mirror for a second sighing loudly. You pulled the curtain back to lean towards the faucet and turn the water on hot, pulling off your clothes you step into the now warm water, letting it run down your body.

It relaxed your tense muscles from earlier, causing a long breath escape your lips. Grabbing the soap to wash off your body, washing your hair with your strawberry scented shampoo. Standing for a couple more mins you decide on shaving, letting the razor glide around your body, making it slick and smooth. Pulling up the razor a loud sound distracts you, cutting your leg "shit!" Whisper-yelled. You quickly let water run on your leg rinsing off, you hop out the shower. Your heart began to race randomly from the thought of someone being inside. Though your house was small it still made you anxious from time to time. You grabbed the towel off the rail and wrapped it around your delicate frame. Opening the door to peak out into the hall. Your rooms were closed so you made your way out. Slowly looking around, you walk into the kitchen to see nothing. Pacing fast into the living room...nothing. Not an object on the floor.

Walking back to the hall, you opened your room, checking in every corner to find exactly what you hoped...nothing. Your heart still banged up against your chest. Though relaxed when you saw your cat. Standing next to a vase "oh..damn. You scared the shit outa me" you say to the little black cat on your floor. He just meowed in response. You threw some clothes on and cleaned up the mess. "Maybe I'm just spooked" uttering to yourself. Continuing on you check the time

8:30 pm you sigh "better get to sleep for work" you stated. Checking the doors and windows before heading to your room, feeding your little cat and heading to bed.

Time skip~

6:30 am

You wake up to a loud purr and two big eyes looking at you. "Good morning my handsome man" you smile. Your sweet kitty meows rubbing his face on you, greeting you for the morning. You sit up stretching slowly, letting your eyes focus and adjust to the cloudy day. You didn't mind the gloomy weather, though it's nice when the suns out. You made your way out of bed heading into the kitchen. You make some coffee to start off your day, even though coffee don't wake you it at least gives you some caffeine. You make you some cheesy scrambled eggs, eating them up and getting dressed for the day.

You worked at a little supermarket in the small town, something pretty simple for you to make money. You mostly did stock and on weekends you worked up at the front. Currently it was a Thursday and so it will be pretty slow and possibly boring. Though you try to make the best out of it. You lock up your house and get into your green 1956 voltswaggon beetle (yes Ik very specific- I love voltswaggons) and headed to work.

Walking into the small store you noticed a black van chilling outside. It gave you the creeps just sitting there but you tried to ignore it. Going into the back you find the boxes of items you needed to place around the store, your coworker mike (idk just making up someone random) working at the front. It was a very very very slow store, nothing too special. You weren't paying much attention, you back upped into someone trying to put up all of the party supplies "oh my goodness! Im so sorry!" You turn to see a man he was a foot taller than you, he had what seemed to be white makeup? Glasses and a top hat, was he a clown? Maybe a party entertainer? He wore mostly black, wasn't huge but on the broader side.

He only smiled widely "oh no my darling I'm sorry, I snuck up on you and didn't think much on it." He leaned down and picked up some party balloons you seemed to dropped. "Um say.." he stands up handing the colorful item. "You don't happen to have these in black..do you?" What an odd question you thought. "Yes. We do" you reached to grab them not noticing his eyes following down your figure. "Here" you hand him two sets of black balloons. "Why thank you sweets!" He grabs the balloons. "No problem Sir" out of curiosity you ask him "Um why black balloons?" You question. "Pardon?" He reply's. "Nothing just wondering why not chose something more...colorful, black just seems i don't know. Gloomy" you smile to him, he only smiles back. "Just a personal pick" he winks and turns away.

Leaving you slightly flushed because of the wink. You brushed off the feeling and get back to work.

Time skip~ I'm lazy.

Your shift was ending, you cleaned up as much as possible and say goodbye to your coworker. Making your way out. You head to your car noticing the same black van parked a small distance away, you see the same man inside the store, he was on the ground picking up his groceries near the back of the van. Though your gut told you not to approach, you let curiosity get the best of you. "Um do you need any help?" You ask sweetly. The man had a grimiest look on his face before it glanced at you. A smile formed and he eyed you up and down. Thinking for a second then responding politely "oh yes doll, I'm haha such a klutz" you only smiled "if you'd like I can go inside and grab you some new bags? Make it easier on you?" His eyes followed your lips, in his own world for a split second "oh sure! That would be so kind, if you don't mind of course?" You shook your head "not at all, I'll be right back" his eyes followed your movement back to the store, your short dress only grabbed him more.

He questioned on taking you. Your small delicate frame would be easy to snatch up. Your kindness blinded you of him and who he was. Jogging back to him you bend down to pick up his stuff, he only stopped for a moment to stare. "Thank you so much. I apologize about the mess" you only smiled more, but you felt a strange feeling to leave. You helped up the stuff fast. Trying to make the moment end. "It's no biggie. Glad I could help. Though i do need to get home, so. You have a safe night" you went to turn, the feeling rising in your stomach. When a large arm rapped around your waist and a chemical being sprayed into your face, you kicked for only a moment till you body felt limp. The strong arms around you slowly picked you up, being placed into the van. Your vision went black
