Chapter Four

For a while you just stood there, even after the person was long gone. Looking back down the stairs, you saw nothing behind you. Yet you felt like something wasn't right with that person, you had never seen them before, but you simply brushed them off and continued on up the stairs.

-???-

The hooded man walked out of the apartment building, his head hanging low as his gloved hands were in his front pocket. Once he was out, he scurried across the empty street and towards the woods. Walking past the first line of trees he traveled further and further before seeing two people bickering back and forth. The first was a man, roughly taller than the hooded fellow; he wore a yellow jacket and skinny dark blue jeans with black converses that had mud and leaves sticking to the bottom of them. His messy brown hair was sprawled everywhere.

On his face he wore a white porcelain mask that had black around the eye holes and black feminine lips, narrowed blue eyes could be seen through the eye holes. The person he was arguing with was a man that was a little bit shorter than him. He wore a simple hoodie with strips on the sleeves, skinny jeans and plain black and white converses. Black gloves were on his hands that were clenching and un-clenching. His unruly brown hair swayed as his body twitched and emitted a 'tic' sound.

Yellow goggles were pushed up on top of his head, causing strands of hair to stick upwards and showing his dark brown eyes. While a mouth guard dangled from his neck, on either side of his hips were two hatchets. They shined from the moonlight that peeked through the tree tops and hit them. His lips were pulled back in a snarl as he growled lowly at the older male. The hooded man sighed, taking small quiet steps towards the two. "G-guys" he said, his voice low and almost non-existent.

But the two males heard him and ceased all talking as they turned to stare at him. Blue and brown eyes bored into the red eyes of his mask. "Hoodie, you find anything?" the masked man asked, tilting his head as the man beside him twitched.

"No, s-some of the t-things are still p-packed away in boxes. We'll h-have to try again a-another time" Hoodie whispered, stuttering slightly as he stood there.

"The boss won't *tic* be happy" the twitching male said, his body jerking violently as the other two nodded.

"Well there's not much we can do but head back to the manor" the masked man said, turning on his heel and started to walk. Hoodie and the twitching male looked at one another before following after the masked man.

-You-

You scratched the back of your head as you twisted and turned your apartment doorknob. "Huh, I could have sworn I locked it before I left" you mumbled as you twisted the knob once again before shrugging your shoulders and walking into the apartment. Your [Eye Color] eyes scanned your apartment to find nothing out of place. Walking further in, you listened to the way the floorboards groaned underneath you as you walked over to your bedroom door and threw it open. You winced when the door flew back and smashed against the white wall before bouncing back slowly.

Looking around the room it was neater then when you first moved here. At first the room was bare except for a TV, desk, bookshelf, and bed with a bare mattress on top. Dust had also covered every inch of the room, but now it was clean. The bed wasn't bare anymore as it had your [Favorite Color] sheets and matching comforter resting on it. The desk had your laptop resting on top of it with a cup filled with pencils and pens on the upper right corner and sheets of paper were in one of the drawers.

You didn't mess with the TV that much, just dusted it off and set a few things around it. The bookshelf was filled from top to bottom with books of various sizes and genres as well. In the far corner were two boxes that were still tightly sealed. Inside them were small valuables from photo albums to other important things. You had nowhere to put them so you decided to keep them sealed away.

'Nothing seems out of place, so I guess there's nothing to worry about' you thought, shrugging your shoulders once more and shutting your bedroom door.

-A Week Later-

You looked at the calendar that hanged on your kitchen wall. You put an 'x' through today's date as you hummed to yourself. 'Just two more days' you thought, smiling as you looked at the 31st that had a pumpkin on its square as well as a sign that said 'Halloween'. You ceased all humming when you heard a knock on your apartment door. Walking over to the door, you straighten out your shirt as you were just about to leave for work.

Pulling the door open you came face to face with a young man that was probably around your age, maybe even older. He had straight brown hair and lime green eyes that lit up as he gave a smile, showing dimples on both corners of his mouth. "Hey" the man said in a cheerful tone, he was way too cheerful in your opinion on this cloudy morning.

"Do I know you?" you asked, placing a hand on the door and taking one step back just in case you needed to close it.

"Well...no" the boy said, still keeping that smile of his as he rubbed the back of his head and laughed a little. "It's just my friend, Conner, lives on this floor and he was telling me about the new resident. So, I told him that to help you feel comfortable in our little town that maybe we should invite you to our Halloween bash we throw every year at my house" he said as he started to babble on and on.

"Uh..." you said, raising an eyebrow as he stopped talking and stared at you.

"Oh, my name's Ryan by the way and really you should come to our Halloween bash. It'll help you meet new people and even make some friends, so, what do you say?" Ryan asked as he smiled widely. You looked at him, taking another step back into your apartment as you got ready to slam the door shut. Placing a tanned hand on the wooden surface of the door, his arm shook as he used force to keep it open. "Please" he said, his lower lip sticking out and his eyes growing wide and glossy. You bit your lower lip as you saw the puppy dog eyes he was giving you, before sighing.

"Fine" you said, wincing as the man let your door go and jumped for joy.

"Yes! Here's the address and be sure to wear a costume..." Ryan said shoving a piece of crumpled up paper in your face while trailing off as you took the piece of paper.

"[Your Name] and did you already plan this out or do you just carry random pieces of paper with your address on them for no reason?" you asked, raising an amused eyebrow as the man sheepishly laughed before turning and running down the hallway.

"See you Halloween night [Your Name], I promise you'll have a blast!" Ryan exclaimed before throwing one of the apartment doors open and rushing inside. He slammed the door shut, causing the lights to flicker in the hall and the few paintings to shake a little. After he slammed the door shut, you could hear muffled shouts and cheers coming from the apartment he had ran into. Chuckling, you closed your own apartment door, in a much gentler way, and looked at the crumpled piece of paper. The numbers and street name were written neatly across the piece of paper, pursing your lips you thought to yourself as you fold the paper and gently stuff it into your purse before heading off to work.

-Time Skip-

When you got there, you came to a sudden stop when you saw Zach passed out asleep on the counter. Once the door closed behind you and you walked behind the counter you placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. You flinched as he sat straight up with wide frighten eyes; his muscles were tensed under your hand as he looked towards you. Calming down he stared down at you with tired green eyes. "Maybe you should head back home" you said, before tensing up as he leaned in real close to you.

You shivered as you felt his warm breath on your face. "I can't" he whispered.

"Why not?" you asked quietly.

"Because he'll be there" he whispered, causing you to furrow your brows in confusion.
