You had finally save up enough money to move out of your abusive foster home, After working two shifts a day. You dropped out of school at 16, to get a job and finally get your own apartment. Your dream finally came true, and the day you had been daydreaming of for years had finally came.

The cheapest apartments was in this county called "Mandela County". You had heard from a couple friends that ..paranormal things happen there. You didn't really believe in that stuff though, Thinking they were just trying to get you to stay. It was quite a trip away, being 4 hours away from the city you live in now. You could care less, if anything it was for the better so you wouldn't ever have to see the people you used to live with ever again.
You put the last box in the small moving van and drive off, without any goodbyes from your "family".

After what seemed like forever, You finally arrived into the county you were about to start your new life in. It was raining, and it was getting pretty dark. You got the chills as you continue driving, but you thought it was just the rain splashing onto the truck.
15 minutes later you arrive at your new apartment, running back and forth to get the boxes inside avoiding them getting wet. Before grabbing the last box, You notice someone staring at you from behind one of the houses You wave, but they disappeared in the blink of a eye. Maybe you were just hallucinating...

You put down your mattress in a small room, grabbing a couple blankets before going to bed. You were exhausted from carrying all those heavy boxes, And now you finally could rest. You weren't prepared for what was going to happen while you were living here, though.
In the morning, It was foggy and you heard knocking on the door. You got up and went to the door to open it, when something in your gut told you not to. You back away from the door slowly, Trying not to make any noise.

"Hello? I'd like to welcome you to our neighborhood!"
The voice sounded like it stuttered in a weird way at the last part, but you walk to the door and open it anyway. The person looked a little odd, their skin had some discoloration in it and their eyes were really..dark.
"Hello.." You say sorta nervously, but also lazily, since you did just get up like..5 minutes ago.
"Hi, My name is Cesar. I live next door to you, and I have come to greet you."
He put a smile on his face, holding his hand out as if he wanted to shake hands.
"I'm [Y/N], Nice to meet you Cesar." You shake his hand, His grip being really strong.
He didn't stop shaking your hand as he continued on, saying: "I want to inform you that if you see anything 'Abnormal' or hear any..unusual noise just know it's all in your head!" He let my hand go, Then just..Walking away?? You stand there confusing, thinking maybe what he just said was all in your head, ahaha..

30 Minutes later after that odd encounter with your new neighbor, you hop in your car and head to the nearest store to find some food to eat, considering it was still the morning and you were DYING for some breakfast.
You stop at a cafe just down the street from your apartment, going inside. It was awfully quiet and everyone seemed really.. alert of their surroundings. Considering everyone stared at you as you walked in, weird...
You go up to the counter, Ordering a couple waffles and chai tea. (delicious.) The employees didn't say anything, they just nodded and gave you your food. You pay them and leave, eating your breakfast in the parking lot in your car, blasting music. You would soon find out that was a mistake, though...
