Runaways

Happy Thanksgiving!

"Hello? Is anyone there?" I ask as I enter Mr. Blackbourne's house.

Looking around, I see the house is fully furnished, but at the same time feels.....empty. It feels so lonely. No, that's wrong. I remember...... I can't remember anything.

Quietly stepping into the main hallway, I see a picture of me and the boys celebrating my birthday. Smiling to myself, I remember forcing Mr. Bl- no Owen to celebrate my birthday here. My past self also felt like it was too empty and sad in here so she decided to do something happy. It took forever to convince Owen, but it was worth it.

Walking into the living room, I frown when I see no one here. I swear I received a text from Kota saying that they would be here. They needed my help to prepare for Thanksgiving tomorrow. It's been a week since I was out of the hospital and now I could do whatever I wanted.

Taking out my phone, I try calling one of the boys, but my phone won't turn on. That's strange. It was working a few minutes ago and had full percent.

Deciding to check around the house to see if they were in a different room, I look up from my phone and gasp. Sitting on the couch is a man wearing all black and a white mask. He wasn't there a second ago.

"Hello Sang," I hear a garbled voice say.

Stifling a scream, I turn around and run towards the door but the door won't unlock.

"Please, please, please," I say frantically while trying to unlock the door.

"Where do you think you're going, Sweetie?" the garbled voice asks.

I turn around quickly and see him walking down the hallway towards me. Doing the only thing I thought was sensible, I picked up the coat holder to the left of me and hit the man's head with it.

He let out a curse and then charged at me.

Quickly moving to the right, he almost ran into the door, but stopped just in time. Widening my eyes, I tried to run, but then he grabbed my arms and slammed me against the wall. My head hit hard against it, and I started to get dizzy. There was a double of everything.

Not letting the dizziness get to me, I tried to fight back as much as I could. It was when I kneed him where the sun doesn't shine, that he grunted in pain and loosened his hold on me. Finding this as an opportunity, I used all my strength to get out of his grip and kicked him in the stomach to get him away from me. As soon as he wasn't holding me, I sprinted to the second floor of the house. Well, I ran as fast as I could, seeing as I saw two of everything.

Running into a random room, I went to its connected bathroom and hid under the sink. Breathing hard, I tried not to pass out and make too much noise.

"Oh Sanggg, come out come out wherever you are," I heard the voice say as he walked around the second floor.

After a few minutes of silence, I heard him walk into the bedroom connected to the bathroom I was in right now.

"I know you're in here," I hear him say.

Where are the boys? Is this the man that they've been talking about? The man who was kidnapping girls from 10-18, raping them, and then torturing them until they died?

I hear him step into the bathroom.

I hold my breath as he searches the premises of the bathroom.
