Blood running cold

Chapter 3

Luna's pov~

Aaron took me home quickly and I went into my house.
"Mom! I'm home!" I yell. No answer. I check the house and found a note.
"At work. See you tomorrow Looney. Don't forget to make dinner and be in bed by midnight. Lots of love, mom." Mom always writes notes like these for me. I sigh and run to the kitchen. I found some blue doritos and start eating. No ones home except me, so why not? I sat down on the couch and turned on Big Bang Theory. This show was alright, but I'd rather watch sponge bob rather than these grown up shows. I groan dramatically and shut the TV off, then ran upstairs. I climb onto my bed and got on my laptop, watching YouTube. I was so bored. I got even more bored and turned off the computer.

Hoodie's pov~

I finally crossed the border and was following the map Masky sent me to her house. It's been about five days now and I'm tired as hell. Three days, no sleep. Just three more hours and I'll be at her house. I put the car in cruise control and sat back a bit. The moon was shining bright and my music was what kept me going. I heard my phone ring and I hurridly pick it up.
"Hoodie here." I say.
"Hoods? Where are you?" Masky asks.
"Three hours away why?"
"Just checking. Slender is eager for you to get there. Is everything alright?"
"Actually, I'm a bit behind schedule. I need you to put Slender on the phone for a minute." I say.
"Okay hold on." There was some shuffling and muttering.
"Hoodie?" Slender's voice rang through my skull.
"Sir, we have a bit of a problem."
"What?"
"I'm a bit behind schedule because I had to fight off this large creature. It was black, but not one of Zalgo's corrupted. I had to kill it and it set me an hour behind. I believe there may be more lurking around so tell the others to keep an eye out for them and kill them. They're hostile as hell." I explain.
"Thanks for the report Hoodie. I will do so. Stay safe and don't mess this up." Slender said.
"Yes sir." I nod my head slightly.
"Hoods?" Masky was now on the phone.
"Yes?" I soften my tone.
"Please tell me everything is going smoothly."
"Don't worry Masky. I got this under control." I reassure him. Then some guy cut me off and started to go slow.
"Aw come on you asshat!" I yell into the phone on accident.
"Hoodie?! Was that you?!" Masky sounded surprised.
"Sorry. Some guy cut me off." I giggle nervously.
"Wow. Such a big deal to curse." Masky giggled into the phone.
"Crap. I gotta go Masky but I'll talk to you once I get there okay?" I say as I'm about to pass a cop car.
"Kay bye."
"Bye." We hung up and I quickly put the phone away as I pass the cop car.

I made it to a hotel near her house and stopped for the night. I call Masky right away and wait.
"Masky here."
"Masky. I'm here. I'm resting for the night but her house is a five minute walk from my hotel." I say with an idiotic grin on my face.
"Great! I'll tell the others." Masky chuckled in delight. I heard muffled voices and muffled cheers of joy.
"Slender just sighed in relief. No belief in you." Masky said dramatically.
"Oh no. I'm unloved." I dramatically cry into the phone.
"Will you two stop farting around? We have work to do!" I heard Anne's voice.
"Nice to hear you too Anne." I mutter.
"Is that Hoodie on the phone?" Anne says excitedly.
"Yes."
"Hi Hoodie!" Anne calls happily into the phone.
"Hi Anne! How are things with you and Masky?" I grin.
"Just fine."
"Is he treating you right?"
"Yes." Anne giggles.
"Hey, punch him in the gut for me would you?" I ask.
"Alright." I then hear Masky gag for a second.
"Sorry. Hoodie's request." Anne giggled.
"Damn it Hoods!" Masky yelled.
I busted up laughing.
"I gotta get some rest though. I'll call you guys later." I yawn.
"Alright. Bye Hoods!"
"Wait!!" I heard Toby's voice.
"Hi Hoods." Toby said.
"Hey Tobes." I say with a small smile. Then the phone hung up. I smile and put the phone on the charger. I lay down in bed and fall asleep.

Luna's pov~

Saturday morning! I rub my eyes and check my phone. No notifications. I walk out into the living room and saw a window open. Mom never opens the windows. I shut it tightly and frown. The TV was on too and mom was at work. What the heck? I turn off the TV and start searching for intruders. I went into my room and saw everything was everywhere. It was like a hurricane whirled through here. I gasp and look at the wall, where a circle with an 'x' crossing through it was spray painted with red paint. The symbol struck fear into me. I snapped a picture with my phone and ran out of my room, not caring about being in pajamas for what I'm about to do. I run out the door and run to Aaron's house. I rapidly knocked and rang his doorbell until a tired Aaron answered the door.
"The hell? Why the hell are you here so early Looney?" Aaron asks while rubbing one eye.
"Someone is hiding in my house! Aaron I haven't seen him or her but there's someone definitely in my house!" I was practically screaming.
"Did you call the cops?" Aaron woke up instantly.
"No! I don't know if I should or not!" I burst into tears. I'm so scared and I don't know what to do.
"Show me." Aaron put on his sneakers without getting dressed.
"Fine!" I reluctantly agreed. We went to my house and up to my room. It was still trashed and the symbol still was on my wall but a ton of other symbols were all over my walls.
"Oh my god!" Aaron nearly choked on air. I wanted to scream but nothing came out.
