September 28th, 1985

Gloria was walking over the woods just for a walk at night, she was getting to go home by no transportation, so she was walking. Soon she saw the private building that she often sees a lot before she saw something new... A car getting to park in. She noticed it was actually Billy, knowing she was a bit afraid that he might be the usual self that she often knows but... she soon saw how different he acted, so she hid over the bushes...

She watched him open the car trunk and saw something over her eyes that she couldn't believe.. He was carrying a tied, woman, the same woman she saw in the pool who was his 'so-called-life guard' coworker, named Heather.

'What is he doing with her...?' Gloria thought.

She watched him carrying her inside the abandoned building as then Gloria followed, looking through the window... Gloria tried to see where exactly he was taking her to... but all she could hear is footsteps, slow, unusual footsteps.
a few minutes later she heard the whimpers as Gloria shakily covered her mouth.

"Is.. is he fucking going to murder her..?" Gloria shakily whispered much as she can so they wouldn't hear her.

She soon heard a thump that it might be Billy pinning Heather, causing Heather to go silent.

"Don't be afraid, it'll be over soon... Just stay very still"

Gloria almost didn't heard the exact words, but she realized what Billy said over that mumbling... Gloria soon heard low growling that might be a dog, or a engine. She wasn't sure what it is, but she soon heard a loud scream.

That's when Gloria ran away, terrified.


"Gloria... where are you going?"

She heard Billy speaking as she was running as fast as she could, nervous as hell. As if she couldn't run faster than this.

She heard a laugh behind her before something yanked her to him. She screamed in fear and struggled.

"Stop... Please! Let go! This isn't funny Billy!" She cried. She stopped struggling when she felt soft fingers on her face. She felt his thumb tracing her cheekbone before he whispered in her ear.

"You can't run away from me now..." He whispered softly, a seductive tone coming out. His words made her heart jump.

"What do you want? I already seen fucked up shit from you.. What the FUCK happened to you!?"

"Oh let me tell you what I want... I want you to stay still" He said as he firmly held to Gloria's wrists, taking her to the odd,, spider like creature. It was as a silhouette, but it was like a giant creature growling..

"Don't be afraid.. It'll all be over soon. Just try to hold still..." Billy said as he took her closer to the strange creature..


"Shit shit shit-" she started to panic, As soon as they were closer to the creature.. She saw the tentacle on her forearm, savoring before it started to bite, Cosvin screamed on top of her lungs as well before she woke up from bed with hard sweat.

Gloria quickly held to the sheets as she immediately recognized the terrifying, traumatizing dream before she covered her face.. for at least for a few minutes..

It felt like the most heart wretched feeling ever...

In the matter of long minutes, She looked at the ceiling before- RING RING RING RING!

She jumped at the bell alarm before she stopped it, knowing only it was already seven-o-clock in the morning. She sat up to get out of the bed and walked towards her dresser. She opened one of the drawers and grabbed some clothes... She sighed deeply and looked at herself through the mirror on the bathroom. Curly brown hair, green hazelish eyes..
