You hazily wake up by the mornings cheerful yellow touch of the sun peeking through your curtains outside, the room seemed to still be dripped with dark shadows of unknown mysteries lurked through every crook and corner, you looked over to see Bob peacefully sleeping with his breaths softly escaping his lips.. you never seen him sleep since the first night you brought him in. You decided it was finally your turn to make breakfast so you slipped out of the sheets of that entrancing cloud like bed to head your way downstairs. The mornings rays peeked into the kitchen as you shuffled in, yawning you started the stove to put some bacon- you never really liked bacon so you mostly given your pieces to Bob which he happily snacked on alongside his full plate of food, he really liked to eat; you thought it was cute, besides knowing most of his meals throughout the years was human meat. The hairs on the back of your neck tingled as you felt a warm hand slither it's way onto your side and down to your waist, your attention turned on to Bob who suddenly was behind you holding you in a loving hug, "good morning my darlin~ what's for breakfast today?" His words sweet as he kissed your head causing you to flush with red - when did he get up?! "Just some bacon and eggs my dear, I have to head to the store soon to pick up a few things. Promise not to try and kill me like last time?" You were still shaken up by that incident but otherwise felt pretty safe with him; at least for the moment. He just nodded his head, rubbing his face against your neck you get goosebumps forming all over your skin, he definitely knew his way with you. Your kitchen was filled with conversations as the two of you ate your food, Bob couldn't stop mentioning how much of a great cook you are knowing full well it would get you flustered so you bit back by saying some compliments his way too which didn't fail to get him red as well, that morning was full of delightful chats and playful banter. Packing your messenger bag for the road ahead you gently leave a kiss on Bobs cheek, "be good while I'm gone. No killing and no snooping- don't find more of my candy. I'll get you some" you said as he grinned, "I'll do my best, Darlin~" he responded back, at least it wasn't a no. You headed out of the house and decided the best thing to do first was to check up on Lila, soft pure white snowflakes started to drop from the sky as you made your way over to her house, while the atmosphere was calm and quiet you felt an uneasy feeling grip in your chest. "Oh god. Why am I feeling like this-?" You heart raced as terrifying imagined popped into your head without your will- what was happening to you? An image of Lila and Skid missing in the house flashes in before your eyes making you gasp out loud, was this a vision? You immediately dash over to the house and rapidly knocked on the door without a care if the neighbors peeked, nothing. Nothing. This was bad- you tried for the door to notice it had been unlocked, stepping inside your nightmare became a reality, no one was there. You rushed around trying to scream for them all around the house, looking at Skids favorite hiding spots or even in the basement, nothing. Tears welled in your eyes as you collapsed to the ground with fear, what happened? How could you let this happen? Your first reaction was to get up and call the police, grabbing Lila's phone you pressed the numbers as fast as you could. The line was dead. What the fuck? You grabbed your phone and immediately tried to call the police again, and with no doubt the cell reception was on SOS, shit- why was it not working? Running over to your house again you burst through the door which startled Bob from his television. "What's wrong darl-" You didn't let Bob even finish your sentence as you rushed to your landline phone besides him, your third attempt to call anyone was useless. "FUCK" you screamed out in a panic, Bob got up from his seat in worry, "what's the matter? Is everything ok?" He tried to stay calm in the situation not knowing what just happened. "Lila! Skid! They are missing- they aren't at their house and n-none of the lines are working!" You paced around the house to think of your next set of action from there, if the phones weren't working then you had to head to the police station next, Bobs eyes widened with this new information brought heavily upon him. "I-I need to go to the police station!" You blurted out as you rushed out, but not before Bob grabbed your sweater to pull you back into the house causing you to tumble on him, "Y/N. The police aren't going to do anything about it." Bobs voice lowered as you looked up at him with confusion. "What? What the hell do you mean, Bob? They were clearly kidnapped so we got to have someone try and find them! LET ME GO!" You screamed as you thrashed against his now tight grip around you, you cried and wailed but no effect couldn't leave his hold, after a minute you just gave up and sobbed into his red sweater leaving dark stains of tears splattered. He gently played with your hair as he hushed you, bringing you with him as he sat down he brought you onto his lap, Bob knew who might of done this. And he was ready to get messy. "Dear, I promise you they won't be hurt.. I'll find them, ok?" He whispered as you continued to weep onto his chest, you gripped his sides hard causing him to wince and soften his grip on you by accident which caused you to slip out of his arms and rush outside. "HEY! Sneaky little bitch!" His anger grew as he got up, knowing fully well he couldn't go out in the daylight showing his face he decided he has to blend in, grabbing his stuff quickly he managed to run outside to find you.

You seemed to run for what felt like forever, you were out of breath as your lungs screamed at you to take a break, but you knew that you had to do something to find Lila and Skid- you couldn't leave them to be hurt. Making it to the police station you weakly make your way up the stairs and into the room where Jack and John stood around talking, their attention fell on to you as you collapsed on the floor- they rushed over and helped you up in assistance. "Woah woah! Y/N! What's the matter?" Jack said as the two boys placed you on the couch, John immediately went to fetch some water for you while Jack stayed behind to make sure you were ok. "L...Lila... and her kid" you tried to huff out to Jack, his concern focused on you as you tried to mutter out your next set of words. "They.. they are missing.." you finally got your last few words out before falling on the couch with your breath slowly regaining. You woke up to see Jack and John tower you as they seemed to somewhat argue about something, you shifted up from your position to see that someone placed a blanket over you while you were asleep; how thoughtful of them. "Ugh.. guys..?" You whimpered out as now their attention laid upon you, looks like the worried faces wiped off a bit knowing you were ok. "You doing ok, Y/N?" John sat down next to you to rub his hand along your back while Jack went to fetch something in the office, you nodded and hazily looked up to check the time, it was almost 3- how long were you out for? "We decided to go back Lila's house while you were asleep. And just like you said, they weren't there. We asked some neighbors if they noticed or heard anything suspicious but none of them did. We are going to do the best we can to try and find them." His words didn't really help you feel any reassurance but it was the best they could do at the moment. "Do you need a ride back to your house? I don't want you to freeze to death, it's a pretty far walk from your house to here." He smiled softly to wait for an answer from you, you just wearily shook your head yes to his proposal, and with that the two of you headed back to that dark dank of a house you called home. You eerily felt unease as you left the police car, it was like your only safety from the unknown was dropping you off into a dark abyss of mystery. You walked up to your door and opened up to notice how empty it had been- Bob definitely was chasing after you. You slumped into your couch in desire, you didn't know what to do at that moment as all you could do was wallow in a depressive episode. You needed to go and find them. Jack and John were good but they weren't good enough to try and find Lila and Skid- you knew that there was something more to their disappearance. You sat up to get ready to start searching when suddenly- creak. "Bob?" You called out nervously, your eyes darted around the room to see who was there with you, nothing. You figured that it might of been nothing, heading towards the door you tried to leave.

But something grabbed you. Someone's cold, grimy hands gripped on your shoulder that could leave a bruise, you tried to scream until they forced a rag against your mouth. Thrashing couldn't save you now as your vision started to blur out of focus into unconsciousness, but not until you heard those final words once you slipped into the dark.
"It's so good to finally meet you, Y/N"
