BITCH, You Better Be Joking.

Chapter 1

As I walked down a narrow hallway a liquid substance was smeared on the walls, it smelt like rust. I felt that something was wrong but ignored it and kept walking to the door at the end of the hallway but just as I grab the handle a boy grabbed my arm then I woke up panting and asked myself, "Why that dream...?" Deciding to go down stairs for a drink of water, suddenly hearing a noise in my mom's room which was weird since she was out of town. As I made it down the stairs I grabbed the bat we kept near the front door, going back up the stairs as quickly and quietly as possible. As I slowly reach for the handle I hear foot steps coming my way. Stepping slowly I go into the closet in the hall just as the stranger opened the door. Keeping the door open a crack I get a look of the intruder, he looks young about 16. Thankful that I had my phone on me I slowly closed the door and locked it. As I kept listening for footsteps I called the police. Just as I got ahold of the operator I heard his footsteps going down the stairs still searching for something. Keeping quiet as the operator asks if there's anyone there, I quickly answer with a whispered, "Yes." She asked me my name and I said, "My name is Sarah Hernandez and I live on 1919 Wallabee Road, please there's someone in my house!" As I explained she replied, "Alright Sarah are you somewhere safe?" I reply, "Yes, in the closet across my mom's room." I said and she asks, "Where is the intruder now?" After she asks I hear running up the stairs and feel like I'm about to cry. All I hear is panting and the operator still asking me the same question. I answer with a shaking voice, "He's upstairs." After I whisper this the operator tells me that a unit is on theirs way and to stay on the line. I do as she says while hearing him quickly run around until he was infront of the closet. Gripping the bat  in one hand and my phone to my ear I whisper that he's outside my door. The operator says that the unit is 2 minutes away, crying silently I reply with, "If I don't make it please tell my mom I love her and that's she's the best mom I could have ever had." After I say the the operator desperately asks me to not hangup and I don't. Slowly unlocking the door I quickly put my phone in my pocket and grip the bat with both hands, as he slowly opened the door I see that he had a half mask on that was decorated with sharp teeth. Distracted I looked at his eye's which scared me half to death, they were green and shining. After that I hit him in the stomach with the bat, giving me enough time to get passed him and down the stairs I hear him laugh, freaking out even more saying to myself, "2 minuets my ass! Where the fuck are the cops!" After yelling this I see the lights and stop dropping the bat to swing my arms in the air to catch their attention. Afer talking to the police they get a call from the other unit that the house is now empty but the back door was wide open. Hearing that gave me chills. After giving the officer's my description of the intruder I called my mom telling her everything thaf happened, she was worried of course but I reassured her that everything is fine and I'll be staying at Morgan's house till she comes home. After our tall I ask an officer to escort me inside the house to grab a few clothes, as we headed to the station I called Morgan and told her everything, she of course was freaked out and agreed to come pick me up and to stay with her for a few day's. It was hard to sleep that night so I stayed up on my phone trying to get that image out of my head. Exhausted I sighed as I finally turned off my phone and slept for about 2 hours, that was because of Morgan's alarm clock. As I got startled awake Morgan just hit the off button on the alarm groaning to herself, "5 more minutes." Sighing I knew she wouldn'tbe five more minute's so I got ready and woke her up using food as a bribe. After breakfast we both got in her car and headed to school. Getting there was the easy part finding a parking was always a hassile, luckily we found one close enough to the stairs and had to rush to class. In doing so I accidentally bumped into someone, I shouted a quick 'sorry' as I was trying to catch up to Morgan. Making it to class just before the bell rang had me exhausted, even more from the lack of sleep. The first lecture of the day was finally over, only 3 more to go, I had my classes and day's spread out which was convenient since I also had work. The last few classes went on as usual but I got a chill during my last lesson. Morgan and I met up by the library and started to walk towards her car,I got another chill but this time much worse. Brushing it off we start to talk about our classes and how they went. As we got to her house I see my mom's car, both confused and happy we parked and went in her house to see our parent's talking. When we saw each other my mom and I hugged tightly, " I can't believe that happened when I was gone, I'mso thankful that you're okay." She said getting misty eyed, "Mom look at me, I'm okay I promise." I replied and showed her that I was okay by giving her another big hug. We both cried a little but soon after I said, "Plus it was peaceful the week you were gone." She playfully hit my arm, we all laugh and after a while I went home with her. Reaching the house we asked each other what we wanted to eat and settled for chinese, before I could make the call the house phone rang. Picking up the phone I say, "Hello?" Getting no reply I ask again, "Hello?.... Hello?" Just as I was about go hang-up I heard heavy breathing after a while I heard a whispered, "I'll see you again, soon." After that I hung up quickly. Freaking out I thing about the night before wondering if it was the same kid from the night before. Shortly after my mom walks in and asked if I ordered yet, "Sorry mom I got distracted,  what did you want from there again?" I said as calmly as I could. She smiled saying what she wanted and I placed the order, as we wait for the food we sit in the living room waiting and trying to pick a movie. The door bell rang after about 45 minutes and I grabbed some cash for the food and a tip, opening the door and greeting the delivery guy I gave him the money for the food and his tip while he had me sign the receipt and grab the food. Once that was done I closed and locked the door going back to the living room and setting out the food as the movie plays. After we finished the movies and eating we cleaned up and went to bed saying our I love yous to one another. The next morning I got up 30 minutes before my actual alarm which surprised me but instead of going to sleep I got up, got ready and made some breakfast leaving some on the counter with a note for my mom. Right before leaving I went to get the mail looking through it all to see one with just my first name on it in bold pink. Which was weird but it was probably from Morgan since she and a few of our other friends know I love pink. Brushing it off I put it in my bag and go back inside to leave the rest of the mail on the counter. I walked to school since I woke up early enough it was nice and quiet until halfway there I bumped into someone. I looked to see it was a guy, "Sorry I wasn't paying attention." I say "It's okay I should have been paying attention too." He said with a bright smile. We passed by each other after that and I checked the time on my phone, "Aw crap, I'm gonna be late." I whisper yelled to myself, after that I sprinted the rest of the way. As I ran I felt an ice cold chill go down my neck and stopped to look around but don't see anyone. Not even the stenager that was there a second ago... As she did this the guy had hid in an alleyway smiling creepily to himself and whispered, "Good to see you again too, Alicia." He silently cackled to himself as he walked further down the alleyway...
