That night everything was quiet. Except the sound of mom washing dishes. "Zelda...." Her name was faintly called. She looked around... Nothing... I guess I'm hearing things. She thought. "Zelda.." It called again. She just ignored it. "Zelda... Turn around..." She turned to find a boy with a deer skull for a mask. He had glowing red eyes and and yellow fangs sticking out. His hair was white as snow and was 7'in height. He looked about 16. His teeth were like razors.

"Hello... Zelda..." He boy said with a smile. "How y-you know my n-name and w-who are you?" She stuttered holding a knife behind her back. "Awww poor Zelda didn't you listen to your son? I'm a wendigo darling." He smiled. She got the knife and stabbed him through the stomach. Blood started to drip from his mouth and he fell backwards. She sighed in relieve. The boy started laughing while standing up. He pulled the knife out of stomach. "I'm telling you should've listened to your own son. Instead of stabbing me... stab your husband," he walks behind her and whispers in her ear, "he pushes you around, gets drunk, you do all the work, and you get slapped for it. Haha your pathetic."

Zelda grips her fists. "But it's to late..." he stabs her through the back and his whole arm goes through her and comes out the other side. "Oops." He smiled. "Welp I didn't even get to hear your screams of terror. Oh well."

That morning

Jaylyn walked down stairs expecting to see his mom making breakfast, but wasn't there... There stood dad was he crying? He didn't. know but it weird. He walked around the kitchen and found a knife. No blood... eh maybe she went to the store. He thought. So he went back upstairs ready to explore the attic. 
"Joe.... I will be waiting... Don't disappoint me." A voice called faintly. "Who is it!? Zelda!?" Joe sobbed more.

"Howie are you ready?" Howie nodded jumping off the bed. The boys made their way to the attic. They pulled down a ladder and climbed up. The attic was old and dusty...with boxes... Howie found a toy train and started playing with it. Jaylyn saw a box that read: "Memories" Jaylyn opened the box and saw multiple pictures and a diary? He opened the diary be. "howie come here!" Howie dropped the train and ran over.

"Dear diary,
I cant believe I finally got a diary to write my feelings in. I should introduce myself to you right? Well, I'm Lillie. I love to color and play games. I also love my stuffed bunny, bun bun...."

Jaylyn flipped through the pages. Howie picked up a stuffed bunny from the box. "Bun bun?" Howie looked it all over. Jaylyn started reading a different page.

"Dear diary,I can't find my mommy anywhere

"Dear diary,
I can't find my mommy anywhere. She is gone. Maybe she went somewhere..."
"Dear diary,
it's been a week and I still haven't seen my mommy. I'm really scared. I'm home alone. I wish daddy was still alive so he would take care of me...."

"Uhh Howie.. Have you seen mom anywhere this morning?" Howie shook his head. They went through the book of pictures.

"Howie let's take this diary to Camie and Leni."
