You lived in (Y/C), a nice place, really. You and your best friend, Liana, went everywhere in this city you call home. You guys have been friends since you were, five, and BOY, were you two rambunctious. Maybe Liana was the more.... excitable one, but you both were pretty rowdy. You bother caused all the trouble in this city, and were definitely known for it. In fact, you both were causing trouble right now. By accident, as most of the "incidents" were accidents, of course. Anyways, you both were pranking the most known bully in the school, Troy. Payback was imminent, as you both giggled from around the corner, as Troy opened his locker. Confetti and streamers burst out everywhere, and Troy fell on his butt, causing you and Liana to laugh your heads off.
Troy turned to you and Liana on the floor, and his face turned red, out of anger, embarrassment, or maybe both. You looked up to see his angry blue eyes and brown hair towering over you and Liana, and you, terrified out of your wits, whispered, "Liana?.... we screwed ourselves! Run!" You scrambled onto your feet, running off as quickly as you could, a terrified Liana and an angry Troy running behind you guys.
You two made it to your home as quickly as possible, rushing in the door. You locked it once Liana was in, and you and her, panting, your hand still on the door and her looking terrified, then burst into laughter. "THAT WAS AWESOME! We seriously need to do that, like, all the time!" Liana said, and you nodded vigorously. You both kept laughing until it dulled down to a small chuckle, and you offered, "Hey, let's watch the news to see if Baby Troy decided to sue us!" Lianna laughed. "Yeah, let's go!" She said, as you both plopped on the couch.
You turned on the TV after grabbing your remote, and the news came on. The news anchor said, "These week in (Y/C), there have been several murders reported by an unknown persons. We are unable to track any fingerprints, or any form of evidence, except for blood written on the walls, saying one thing, which we believe is a name." You looked at Lianna anxiously, and she looked back at you, the same anxiety in her eyes. You both look back at the TV, at the same time. "It's hard to read, but we believe it says.." You leaned in, anxious to hear what the news anchor said. "(Y/N)." you yelped, shock making tears springing in your eyes, and you covered your mouth. Lianna rushes to your side, tears in her eyes too. "H-hey! It's okay! Maybe, it's another (Y/N)!" You shook your head in fear. "N-no, I'm sadly the only (Y/N) in this city... Liana... I-I'm scared..." Lianna shushed you. "I-it's okay. It's okay."
~Time Skip to Next Day~
You shakily forced yourself to get out of bed, and get ready for school. You looked in the mirror, and saw yourself. You frowned. "I can't go on like this. It's got to just be a coincidence." You forced yourself to forget the news announcement. You got completely ready, and got everything else ready, which involved your backpack, and your coat, since it was cold outside. It was winter, after all.
"The news can be wrong, right? It's usually all fake! Yeah! Yeah, it's fake." You said, walking down the sidewalk to your school. You went around a corner, and you looked down. Red footprints? "Blood?" You said, and because of your curiosity, you followed the red footsteps.
Soon, the footprints ended up at some dark warehouse, and you shivered. "This seems just like a horror movie... very cliché." You said, pushing open the rusty doors. You followed the footsteps to a ladder, and climbed up said ladder.
Once you climbed to the top, it began to get quite horrific. The blood was splattered against the walls, and your name was written everywhere, in someone's blood. You looked around, and turned in circles looking at the blood. "G-gross..." You said, beginning to get scared. You kept following the footprints, until you saw a hunched over figure making weird munching sounds, and you shakily stepped closer, until you saw the thing it was eating...
was a person.
You covered your mouth, as tears ran down your face in fear. You began to step back, until the floor made a creaking sound. The hunched figure straightened at the sound, and it's head turned toward you, it's bright yellow eyes looking at your figure. You turned and ran, pretty much jumping down the ladder, and out of the warehouse. You ran and ran, the figure close behind you.
You turned a corner, and somehow the figure was in front of you! You fell back, and scrambled to your feet and turned and ran. You turned another corner, and ran into Liana. "L-Liana! I-I saw the killer! The killer was EATING someone! I-I had to run, and the killer followed me, and-" You babbled, before Liana shushed you, as hugged you. "I-it's okay. I promise. Let's go to school, okay?" Liana said, letting go. You both walked to school, you still shaky. You soon calmed down, and you gave a small smile.
You were safe... for now.
