*Stitches POV*
"Come onnnn! You're so damn slow!" "Shut it. I'm tired and in my defense, it's six in the goddamn morning. I have the right to be tired and slow." "Maybe, but I like running, and you should exercise more." "Nah, I prefer sleeping in, eating and murdering." Rolling my eyes, I kept going. My sister was just so lazy. She was barely even tanned, pale as a ghost. I was the one to go out all the time, shopping for food and sometimes new clothes. I would take the money from the people I had killed, sometimes save up to purchase something important. But anyway, she could barely keep up with me, and I had to stop and throw a bottle of water at her. She caught it, and after downing the whole thing, she said "Let's go home now. I'm starving, I'm tired. Let's just call it a day and go back to bed." Giving up, I nod my head and turn around, still jogging. Then I almost bumped into..."Toby?" Yep. Ticci-Toby. He didn't have the goggles or the mouth guard, but rather a scarf. His hazel colored eyes widened in surprise. "W-what are you t-two doing here at this hour?" He asked. I shrugged, and Rowan caught up, panting slightly.
"hey do...do you have any... more water?" She asked. Stifling a giggle, I got another one out of the bag I carried. It was still full of organs, but there were a few bottles of water too. I grabbed a lung from one of the many labeled containers. Munching, I noticed no one else out. There was only the three of us. Ah well, at least no one will notice our bizarre injuries. I saw Toby staring at me. Not in a creeped out way, but as if he was used to it. "Hmm? What is it, Toby?" I asked. He shook his head, looking away. "Nothing, just...surprised, that's all." "If you're sure. I mean, why aren't you surprised that I eat organs? I mean, just looking at you, I think it's obvious that you're a psycho killer, but surely you don't do something as gruesome as cannibalism." "Is it that obvious?" He asked. Rowan looked at me, I nodded. "Yeah" We said together, giggling. "Okay, I'll be honest with you. See, I know this guy, he's a cannibal too. Well, if a demon feeding on human organs is considered cannibalism." "He's a demon? Soul Snatcher, you'd probably like him." "One who eats organs? No thank you."


Time Skip~
"okay, what are we doing here again?" Rowan asked, before I shushed her. "Killing spree. Now shut up." I whispered, before sprinting silently towards a house, picked by Toby. But, to my surprise, was another person, their figure dark from the lack of light. I wanted to be unnoticed until I was inside the house, but obviously this person had other plans, including standing alone on a dark porch. Sneaking behind the person was easy, but when I whistled to get his attention, I noticed his face. His face was what made my knees buckle. He had a grin sliced into his cheeks, from ear to ear. And he...he had no eyelids. I nearly fainted, had Rowan not grabbed me to hold me steady. "Who is he?" She asked, not very frightened of him. "I don't know. Hey, I wanna try to injure him. Could I use that scythe of yours for a minute? Please?" "Fine, but if you break it-" "You'll see that I make it to an early grave, I know." I grabbed it and chased after the guy, Alliby soon showing up, two guns ready to fire. I got a glimpse of them, and saw that they were made from the same wispy blackness as she was. "Shadow Guns. Very effective against humans. And other creatures as well." I didn't comment, just kept on chasing after the guy. I almost had him, but then he disappeared. Then, a disgusting smelling cloth made it's way over my nose and mouth. I tried to hold my breath for as long as possible, but eventually gave in. I was consumed into the darkness.

I awoke chained, not to an examination table, but to a cold, hard wall of cement.
