                 On one evening, my parents went out with their friends to have fun, making me alone in our house. Lazily, I changed the channels of the TV, trying to find something to watch to waste time before going to bed because let's face it, teenagers just don't want to sleep in early anymore.

After finishing a horror movie, I decided to take a stroll even though it's midnight. So, with my jacket on, some pocket money just in case and my I-phone in the back packet of my jeans with my ear-pods on, listening to K-pop, I headed out, not forgetting to close the windows and securing the house before locking the front door with my keys. Instantly, I felt the cold and chilly night air, making me rub my hands together to warm up a little bit. I walked about three blocks when I felt someone watching me, but I just thought it was my imagination making out things after the horror movie I just watched.

"Hmmm, lalala, LA!'',I hummed under my breath to the rhythm of the music. Whensuddenly, I saw a black van one block away from me with three people, two werewearing black hoodies, holding each side of the third guy wearing a brown shirtwith something that looked like red, almost liked blood but I just ignored it,thinking that the guy might had a fist fight therefore getting knocked outwhich explains the two black hoodie guys helping their brown shirt friend gohome. So, I continued my stroll avoiding and walking past them, to not getinvolved.

It was about 15 minutes after my encounter when I felt someone watching me again and this time, I felt three gazed, making me look around but found nothing. I became a little bit paranoid and started walking faster in the direction of my house. And I heard faint footsteps following me from behind. Right now, I'm in a full-blown panic as I started to run like the hounds of hell are after my soul. When I saw a deranged and creepy clown in front of my way, smiling demonically at me, making me tremble in fear. I tried to run around IT, but IT grabbed my left arm, stopping me from moving further. With adrenaline surging through me, I kicked and flayed IT before punching IT with all my power in the face, thus loosening the hold IT had on my left arm. I took the chance and ran like the Flash, arriving at my front door of my house with my keys. With shaking hands, I managed to open the door with the right key and shoved myself inside, hurriedly locking the door before pushing a sofa to block it. I signed in relief, calming my fast-beating heart and suppressing the urge to scream in terror at what happened minutes ago. When eyes drifted to the window just besides the door, I saw a silhouette... three of them. Three silhouettes standing in the shadows looking straight at my house. When their sight moved to meet mine, I was startled back before running to my bedroom, locking it securely then jumping straight to my bed with my blanket wrapping all over my body while holding my pocket-knife in defense if They managed to come in. By They, I mean the clown with demonic red eyes and the two black hoodie guys with their blackhole eyes. I know that if I didn't break free from IT's hold, I would have been dead or worse. The sound of silence was lulling me to sleep, I tried to fight it but the adrenaline in my veins was gone, making me realize how tired my body is. Then, I blanked.
