My name is Mariah and I'm 17. It was just a normal day when it happened. I was going to go on my morning run on the same route I've gone on for 3 years, I wouldn't change anything. I know everyone in my neighborhood except the newest neighbor down the street so before I started the run I brought my mom's famous pie to make them feel welcome. Without knowing this was the worst mistake I ever made. As soon as I got to the door I got a really creepy vibe but I let it go. A boy around my age opened the door and wow was he cute! I welcomed him and gave him the pie. He called for his dad and I welcomed him also. Then I said my goodbyes and went on with my run. It was all normal, well I thought it was at least. My run was going pretty well until I felt like someone was watching me. I turned around but no one was there so I decided to head home. I turned the corner and I ran into something, correction someone. It was the neighbors son. "Hey you're the neighbor with the good pie right? I never caught your name." Said my neighbor. "Yeah and I'm Mariah, what's yours?" I asked. "Braxton and my dad is Chester, I thought you should know." I should of knew right then that something was off about him. No one brings up their dad like that but again I let it go cause he was cute. We talked for a while and I realized that we were nowhere near my house. I kept walking and looked back and he was kinda far behind me so I stopped and waiting for him. His hands were behind his back like he was holding something but he didn't want me to know. I started freaking out but I kept my cool because I knew nothing would happen to me. Once he got to me he leaned in really close and I actually thought he was going to kiss me but instead he whispered in my ear "I'm sorry but I have to do this dad really likes you" and then he raised his hand and revealed a crow bar. That was the last thing I remember before I blacked out.
