She was the first to take the book and smash it over his head, running out the door. The sirens rang as she ran into the crowds of other people running and shooting and stealing. She takes a deep breath and sighs, "Ah, The purge. My favorite holiday." She smiles and puts the book in her newly stolen Gucci bag and pulls out her shot gun. She skips down the street, She puts on her headphones and taps her shoes as she walks, humming quietly.

She spots a poodle in the arms of what looks like a four year old boy. And shots him. She skips over to the poodle and carries it under her arm. She doin spots a group of snipers and puts the poodle in her Gucci bag, leaving it slightly open.

Her gun in hand, bag over her shoulder, black skull designed dress, black heels and blonde hair swaying in the wind, she proudly walks up to them.

"Pardon me~ Can you point me towards the nearest neighborhood?" She questions.

One of the guys nod and point down the street. She nods and walks in that direction. She heard one of the guys mumble,
"Where's her mask?"
"No idea, but she just killed that kid and I'm not competing with that."

She walks into a random house, "Don't shoot~ I'm just here for some food for my doggy~" She walks in and starts to walk through the house, singing to herself, "Annie are you okay?," She shoots at the ceiling, "Will you tell us," Shoots, "That your okay?" Shoots.
By now she was doing the moonwalk as she searches the house.

Someone crawls out from the closet, peeking at her. She immediately turns around and stares the kid in the eyes. She offers a hand, "Heyo~ Do you have any dog food?" She questions, raising her gun to the little boy's head and glaring at the closet, "If any of you shoot me I kill the kid. Anyway as I was saying?"

The kid points to the kitchen. She nods and picks up the kid, still holding the gun to its head, "Sorry but you're a hostage now~ Can you grab it and walk it to the door with me?"

The kid nods, as their eyes water. She kisses the kids cheek, "No no don't cry, here hold my headphones." She hands the kid her headphones which were playing Michael Jackson. The kid nods and leads her to the kitchen.

She grabs the dog food then the kid leads her to the door. She smiles and takes her headphones back, "Thank you~ You've truly been a gentleman, you know~? Sadly.." She shoots the kid, "Gentlemen don't survive~"

She puts her headphones back on and puts the dog food in the bag with the dog. "Let's see let's see..Maybe I should head down to the store and grab some food? Yeah. Then I'll be done with the necessities." She smiles to herself and starts to walk over to the store. Still singing Micheal Jackson.

"You hear the door slam~ And realize there's no where left to run~" She does a spin and notices a girl aiming a gun at her. She smiles and waves and shoots the girl and the boy who was next to her.

She continues her walk with a moonwalk, "That this is thriller, Thriller night~" She turns back around and calmly walks into the store. She grabs a cart and strolls through the isles, grabbing packs and packs and packs of ramen and packs and packs and packs of coke and water.

"Let's grab some soups and some paper plates and stuff then we'll be good~" She explains to herself, picking up her phone and calling her roommate.

"Ah Sasha you've caught me at a bad time, ya know..." The roommate explains Sasha raises an eyebrow.
"Oh really? What're you doin?"
"Well I Uh...I drugged this girl BUT,"
"Oh god your doing that again? If you become the next Jeffrey Dahmer we're gonna have a problem." She shoots a guy who was inching just a little too close to her ramen.

"Yea maybe...But uh- What's up?"
"Uh...Yeah! What're we missing at the house?"
"Uh," They pause as there's a loud gunshot, "Napkins, paper plates trash bags- Actually, does it even matter? It's like, free."
"Yes, Daniel, We know but what if I-" Sasha gets interrupted as there's a scream.
"Ah! You woke up...hmm..Sasha, grab some more hydrogen peroxide. And more sleeping pills. And- hmm no I can get that one from the dark web..Yeah that's it." Daniel concludes.
"Kay~ Also I got us a dog. Oh! And do you want something while I'm free shopping?" Sasha offers, walking out the store.

"Yeah grab me a new phone and grab us a nice tv will ya? Oh! And we're gonna need all the stuff for that dog." Daniel explains.
"Ya ya. Finish up your drugging and stuff."
"Will do, call me later."
"Mhm. I'm comin to empty my cart and bag" She hangs up and heads towards the forest, turning on her Michael Jackson again. She steers the cart through the path, singing to herself and skipping. She continues walking, avoiding the traps that they laid out around the path.

"The way you make me feel~! You really turn me on~" She sways as she walks, not even watching where she steps. She makes it to the door, "Danny~ Your lonely days are gone~" She sings, tapping her nails on the cart.

Daniel opens the door, and leans one shoulder on the doorway as he shoves his hands in his pockets, "Did you get the pills and stuff?"

"Yeah yeah. Lemme in before I get shot or something." Sasha tries to push her way past him, but he stands his ground.

"I would love to but," He suddenly pulls her head into his chest and shoots a guy who falls out a tree, "I didn't clean up my last murder yet so...It's a little messy." He explains and let's her go.

"Mhmm..Well Clean it up before I get back. Here take this stuff." She pushes him the cart and sits the poodle and the dog food on top of it.

Daniel picks up the poodle and nuzzles it, then pushes the cart with his Free hand into the house, before dumping all of its products onto the ground and handing it back to her, "Okay. You're just gonna go do whatever now?"

"Yeah. You wanted-" She's interrupted by a groan in the living room. To which Daniel responds to by simply aiming his gun at the couch and shooting whatever was there, keeping his eyes on Sasha.

"Can you grab a cat to?" Daniel asks, nuzzling the dog.

"Yeah, But then ima need to- I'm wasting time, I'll call you!" She shouts as she skips off back onto the bath.

Daniel waves her off, "ILL MAKE DINBER SO DONT WORRY ABOUT IT!" He shouts. She waves her hand before she exits his view.

They sit on the couch, watching the fifth horror movie on their new flat screen tv, eating lasagna. Sasha was busy attempting to hide under Daniels arm.

"Dude look! Like, The blood doesn't even look realistic! And when you stab someone they don't immediately die! This is highly false-" Daniel explains, pointing out the flaws.

"But it's scary!" Sasha whines.

"But you're scary!" Daniel laughs.
