Later that evening the girls were all in the kitchen, Claudia had brought a few bags of chips and Nex was stuffing drinks into the fridge. Valene had set out the desserts she got from the bakery and was now pilfering around to find something to cook for a small dinner.
"How do you guys feel about pasta?" she asked as she pulled out some rigatoni noodles. Nex looked back from the fridge and gave a nod.
"Sounds good to me. I'll go ahead and cook the meat." she said. Claudia went to the pantry and pulled out the pasta sauce. Nex sat out the meat and went to get the pan to cook it in but when she grabbed it she turned and knocked a glass cup off onto the floor. It shattered and both Claudia and Valene turned quickly.
"Nex you ok?" Claudia said, stepping forward and not realizing there was glass right at her foot. Nex noticed before her and quickly went forward.
"Claudia stop!" she said, managing to hault Claudia before she stepped on any glass but it resulted in Nex stepping in a small piece herself. She yelped and jumped back, siting in a chair and pulling the small piece out. "Ouch...oww...owie..." she huffed.
"Oooh that looks painful." Valene said. "Here lemme get my small first aid kit and I'll fix it. Claudia, please clean up the glass." she said.
"I got this.~" she said and went into the pantry to get the broom as Valene retreated up to her room to fetch her first aid kit. She looked around, making sure it was all quiet. The dresser was still in front of the window. That was a good sign. After the quick scope she moved to her dresser and started to dig through the drawerts. "Where are you ya little..." she mumbled to herself. She was so busy looking for the small white box that she barely noticed her closet door creak open....or the figure that stepped out of it.
"Hello, Red."
Valene quickly whipped around at the sound of the voice to come face to face with none other than Jeff again. She quickly stood and glared at him.
"You!" she growled. Jeff then quickly maneuvered over to her, seemingly gliding across the floor as he closed the distance between them, his knife held out and only a few inches away from her stomach. "But how did you....I blocked the window!"
"Yes...me." he said with a smirk. "It's so lovely to see you again tonight, Red....and do you really think your window was the only way in? Next time check ALL of your windows when you leave in the morning." he lifted his knife, running the dull end across her cheek where he had sliced it the previous night. Valene jerked back and braced herself on the dresser, her hand slowly searching around on top of it as he spoke.
"I see you are still alive and well, didn't even have aheart attack after I left? I was sure you would have at least died of fear." he grinned, making his sickeningly wide smile even wider. Valene scoffed.
"Please...scared of you?" she said as her hand still searched around the dresser top. "Repulsed...maybe...but you do not scare me....I'm actually surprised you were stupid enough to return here.....don't you know that when the killer returns to the scene of his crime there's always a trap waiting for him."
Jeff laughed, lowering his knife and peering into her sky blue eyes with his dark, cold gaze. "Perhaps....but I highly doubt anyone...let alone you or the police.... would manage to succeed in capturing someone like me. You see...it's not so simple. You may try, but I'll always escape...and I always get what I want....and right now little lady...I wanna see what your insides look like coated on the floor." he said with a dark chuckle as he lifted his blade again. But this time before he could bring it down, Valene reacted a second faster and right when her hand finally felt something sturdy she grabbed it and swung it right at his face. It had been the picture of her and her friends and she had used the heavy frame in self defense, managing to smash the glass against his face, shattering it and causing the killer to let out a scream and stumble back, dropping his blade. Valene slipped past him and went for the door.
