*Your POV*

     I woke up to the sound of the ticking clock. I was lying on my bed, my blanket was abandoned on the floor. As I tried to sit up, a pain on my side throbbed. As soon as my side started to hurt, a pain on my head kicked in. I clutched the area on my head that was in pain. I glanced over to my side and saw blood on my shirt. In shock, I jumped off the bed and landed on my knees. The pain grew and I checked my side. There was bandages wrapped around it and it was covered in blood. I pulled the bandages off hesitatingly and found a deep wound. My eyes widened and I felt a cold sweat to form.  

     "What the..." I tried to remember what happened last night. Everything was blurry and soon enough the memories came back.

     "Just remember this: I am Eyeless Jack... Meet me at the forest... If you don't, someone else will kill you... Now rest..." 

Who said that again? J? Jack? 

     "Jack?!" I exclaimed as more memories flooded my head. I was in my room crying?

      "(Y/N), I have some bad news for you..." 

 Tears filled my eyes as the news of my parents repeat in my head. They died. I'm all alone now. Then I remembered I encountered Jack. Eyeless Jack. He tried to take my kidneys... But he stopped and told me to meet him... But why?

     "Hello..." A little girl's voice sounded from behind me. I turned around and saw a small girl with long, curly brown hair and a pink gown. She stood at my window, waving at me. 

     "Hi... Can I ask why and how you got in my room..." I asked, glanced at my door, looked back at the girl and she was covered in blood and dirt. "What happened to you?" I asked with concern.

     "It's nothing... But I can get better if you play with me!" The girl jumped around with a teddy bear in her arms. I hesitated and stepped closer to her.

     "What's your name?" I asked gingerly. The girl stopped jumping and smiled at me.

     "My name is SALLY!" She giggled and ran up to me. "Now let's go play!" She grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the door. She dragged me outside and toward the forest. The sunlight was no help due to the fact it was blocked by the forest's trees.

     "Where are we going?" I asked with a bad feeling in my gut. Sally kept skipping without answering me. She spotted something in the distance and started running, dragging me along. I put my free hand up, trying to block all the branches that smacked into my face. I almost tripped on roots and the leaves kept flying away because of the wind and our presence. We past a pair of trees and the atmosphere changed drastically. I choked on the air and the smell of sunlight left the surrounding area. It was darker than before and the leaves were more abundant. Sally kept running and dragging me along until we reached a small cabin. In the distance, there was a mansion. 

     "Okay, inside there is all my toys that we can play with!" Sally giggled and opened the door. It was pitch black and a fowl stench came out of the cabin. I hesitated at the door, but Sally pulled my arm and I came inside. The door closed behind me and from behind me, I heard:

"Now we can play..."
