Running. Running as fast as I could from a mysterious figure that was chasing me. I was terrified, am I going to die? The figure was catching up to me, like if he wasn't even tired for running for a good ten minutes. I was moving the branches out of my way as I tried not to fall because of all the tree roots. Panting, I saw a little cabin and decided to hide in there. Maybe he'll go away if he doesn't find me?

When I entered the cabin I sighed, really exhausted. I closed the wooden door and took out a flashlight from the pocket of my white hoodie. I was wearing a white hoodie, jeans and black running shoes. Thank God I didn't have some kind of expensive combat boots. When I started looking around, I saw this cabin was abondoned. It had all kinds of things thrown to the floor. I saw couches, tables, glass shards, everything.

Then I noticed a room.

Being the curious me, I walked over to the door that stood before it and grabbed the rusty door knob and turned it, entering the abandoned room. When I entered, I expected to find everything on the floor just like the other rooms, but it was a really nice bedroom that contained a large bed in the center, a drawer that seemed to be empty and a lamp on a table that appeared to be in the left corner of the room. It also had a large window that let me see the forest. I walked over to the window and peered to see nothing. Just trees, the ground, a moon and a beautiful nighttime sky with stars that looked like a million of shinning diamonds.

I turned around and bumped into something. Or someone. The same figure that was chasing me pinned me to the wall, scaring me like if I was going to die. Maybe I am going to die. I can't believe that the figure found me even if I hid so well in here. How did he find me? The cabin was hidden. I was lucky to find it! He was probably lucky too...

"Hey [Name]," the figure spoke.

"How d-do you know m-my n-name...?" How did he know my name?

"How could I not know your name? I've been watching you [Name]...since always," I could feel them smirk as it spoke to me.

I started stuttering, "P-P-Please don't k-k-kill m-me..."

I heard him chuckle, "I'm sorry [Name], but that wish cannot come true," he smirked.

I backed down onto the floor and the moon's light showed his face. When I looked at him, I could see... BEN? Oh no. I screamed as loud as I could and put my back against the wall, completely terrified. How could it be BEN? I throught we were friends! BEN smirked, amused by my expression. I screamed once more and put my arms in front of my face for self-defense.

BEN chuckled, putting his right hand in front of him like if he were grabbing something. Suddenly, a pixelated master sword (I know since I saw my brother play every day Legend of Zelda) started appearing in his hand, smirking at me. He slowly walked towards my shaking figure, his boots making a loud 'thud' when he took his steps with his round brown boots. I was so scared, why would I be otherwise? He's about to kill me! But my question is...why? What have I done to him? He even said we were friends...so why?

I breathed a shaky breath, accepting my fate.

"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you, [Name]?"

Just when he was about to stab me, I lifted my upper half from my bed, "NO!"

I was so scared that I didn't notice I was in a bed, alive. I looked around, I must be in my room. I sighed, it was just a nightmare. Thank God. I slowly swooped my legs onto the wooden floor and stood up. I'm still shaking...strange. I didn't care about that for now. I stripped my clothes off and put some purple underwear and black sweatpants with a light grey t-shirt.

When I finished changing, I walked over to my bed and threw myself on it. I sighed, I can't believe I had a nightmare about him. How? What if it's some kind of Déjà Vu? I widened my eyes, afraid of it becoming true. How could I forget so easily? BEN is a murderer. He handcuffed me to the basement. He beat me up twice for crying out loud! Maybe I shouldn't trust him. I can't trust him. If I do, I'll certainly die.

I sighed again, I'm hungry as hell. I got up and looked through my wardrobe and grabbed a pair of socks since the floor was freezing. Walking towards the wooden door, I turned the knob and opened the door. I walked through the hallway and went down the stairs, going into the kitchen. I could smell the sweet smell of waffles. I moaned, the sides of my mouth watering in salive, eager to taste some delicious waffles.

When I entered the kitchen and saw BEN eating some waffles. I guess he learned to cook after all. I widened my eyes, there he is. I can't show myself to him! Luckily, his back was facing me and I was wearing socks. He hasn't noticed me yet. Good. I can't let myself be killed by a monster. I metally sighed, if I don't want to be killed, I better not make him angry, so I walked toward him and let him look at me. My legs started shaking.

He smiled, "Hey [Name]. What's up?"

I stuttered, "N-Not much."

BEN gave me a worried look, "Are you okay, [Name]?"

I gave a nervous smile in return, "Yes! Yes! I'm totally fine!"

BEN didn't look so convinced, "Really? Because I think you're hiding something."

My hands started sweating, "N-Nothing! I'm not hiding anything!" Oh no. Is he going to get mad?

"Hm...it looks like..," BEN gasped, "You're in love with me!"

I stopped, "Wait, what?"

BEN laughed, "You are so in love with me, obviously! I mean, I don't blame you, who could resist to this hot piece of ass?!"

I crossed my arms and furrowed, "I'm not in love with you."

BEN patted my head, "Sure...because no girl has ever tried to resist to this," he gestured at himself.

I waved it off, "Whatever."

I left the kitchen and all I could hear was BEN laughing. I scoffed, he can be really cocky sometimes. I walked up the stairs and got a little curious when I saw a room at the end of the hallway. I was REALLY curious. I soon remembered what BEN did when I passed the line of curiosity. I bit my lip, maybe he won't notice? Soon my curious side took over my body, so I walked towards the room and turned the door knob filled with dust, making my hand dusty and dirty.

When I turned the knob and entered the room, I found a library. A dusty, old library. It was filled with old books that I'm guessing contained all sorts of urban legends and myths. When I looked around I saw a green book that was covered with dust. I grabbed it and wiped the dust away, coughing when the dust floated towards me. I looked through the book and noticed it was a lined book with nothing written on it.

"Like it?"

I jumped, scared as hell, "What the fuck, BEN?!"

He laughed, "Your face was priceless! Priceless, I tell you!"

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Damn you."

"Don't get so angry over there," BEN smirked.

I sighed. "Well, if you want that book, you can have it. I'm not planning on using it."

I smiled, "Really?"

BEN smiled in return, "Sure."

I hugged BEN, "Thanks BEN!"

BEN hugged me back, "No problem. What are you gonna use it for anyway?"

I smiled sheepishly and looked at my left, "I like to write my diary."

BEN patted my head, "Cute."

After a few seconds of silence, BEN clapped his hands, "Well, lemme finish eating my waffles. See ya later [Name]!"

I smiled and waved at him, "Later."
