Ria's POV

As I was practically being dragged out of Chloe's room, I suddenly heard a loud thud. "What the heck was that?" I asked in a loud whisper. "What?" Caleb asked confused. I decided to ignore it, standing up and following Caleb to his temporary room. When we got there, I took a little self tour around. I saw a dresser, two shelves, a large closet, a lamp, and a large bed.

"Since there is only one bed, I'll be sleeping on the floor tonight." Caleb said with his eyes shut.

"Naw, get over here, mister. I don't mind sharing." I said, even though I do mind. He opened his eyes and just stared at me. He smiled, and got closer to both me and the bed. I walked over to the bed, and hopped in. After getting comfortable, I leaned in to hug him, and we finally fell asleep in eachother's arms.

Chloe's POV

Dream

I woke up in a small room with white walls. There was only a small window right above my head. I looked into it, seeing a bunch of stars. They were so bright, and were so big. I looked around some more, seeing five doors on either wall. I tried to stand up, but I was strapped down to the bed. I started to panic, suddenly realizing that I had a weird feeling. You know that feeling you get when someone is watching you? That's it.

I looked around, seeing nothing at first. Then, I saw a sudden movement. I saw a hunched over figure. I called out to it, but it didn't answer. It just stood there. Then, I saw it take something out of it's pocket. It slowly walked over to me. When it was about ten feet away from me, I saw it's details.

It was wearing a white hoodie, black pants, dead white skin, and, a slit smile. Ok, so now I know it is male, and looks so familiar."Hey! You, come help me. I'm stuck." I yelled to him.

He didn't answer, he just walked over, with the thing he took out in his hands at his side. He took one step closer, and I saw it was a knife. He jumped at me, and...*

Chloe's POV

I suddenly woke up from my dream, on the floor? How the hell did I get on the freaking floor?! I stood up with the same weird feeling as in my dream. I looked around, seeing nothing at first, just like my dream. I ignored the feeling and walked to my bed, when suddenly, I heard footsteps. I turned around to see a figure, the one in my dream.

"Hello? Who are you? I'm not scared of you, ya know. Just show your self." I said confidently. It turned it's back towards me, and started walking away, when I said, "Hey, are you afraid?" I teased, "Shouldn't I be the one that is scared? I mean, there's a freaking stranger in my house!"

"Yeah, you should be." He said. I saw that he was a guy, 'cause of his deep, dark voice. As he said that, he slowly walked out, revealing his features. He was wearing a white hoodie, black pants, dead white skin, and a slit smile. All the same as my dream, except, I saw his eyes; he had no eyelids.

I was so busy trying to take all of this in, that I didn't notice him walked right up to me. There he stood, still so familiar. Then it snapped; the recent killings. "Holy shit! I know who you are! Your the guy who's been killings those people, aren't you?!" I asked, slightly excited, but pissed. I wanted to ask him so many questions, like how he did it, or why he looked like that, or even why he was here. But, I couldn't take that risk, not yet.

"Haha, yes, yes I am. Why? Is the little girl, afraid?" He asked laughing. I just stood there, thinking of what to do next. I couldn't run, because my family could get hurt. I watched as he got closer, while taking something out of his hoodie pocket; a knife. This reminded me of my dream, except I was not strapped to a bed.

He lunged at me, knife raised, ready to stab. I jumped to the right, but he saw this coming. He leaped up at me again, but this time, didn't know that I had planned this to happen. I jumped up and to the left I went. I tried to keep the fight as quiet as possible, avoiding the awakening of my family. I ran as fast as I could out of my room and jumped down the stairs. I made a little noise, but got safely to the front door.

I turned the knob quickly and ran out, into the streets. I looked back, realizing that I had just made the most stupidest mistake ever; I left a serial killer in my house. I was half happy, half pissed to see that the killer was following me still. I thought back to when we were looking at the website. This was all expected, and I should have known it. I tried remembering what the site said his name was. It was Jack? No, Jake? No. Ugh! Then I remembered; Jeff, Jeff the Killer.

I looked back to see that still, the one and only, Jeff the Killer, was still following me. I thought about where I should run to. The park? Yeah, I'll just run to the park!

I ran as fast as my legs and my heart would allow me to. I finally got to the park, when I turned the corner, only to bump into something. "Jeff." I said kind of with a deep voice. I have to admit I was kind of scared, but I didn't let it show. He looked down at me smirking. All of a sudden, he just starts to laugh.

"Haha! You really think that you, a pathetic little teenage girl, can run from a serial killer? Well, face it! You can't. And even if you did end up getting away, I would have found you again. You should actually be happy that I caught you, or else next time I saw you, you would be in a world of serious pain!" He said, still laughing like a psychopath.

"Yes, actually. Because I not scared of you, like you said back there. I am not pathetic! I am more human than you are!" I said, spitting in his face. I saw as he took out his knife and put it against my throat.

"Well, you should be. Now, be a good little girl, and..Go To Sleep!" He said as he pushed the knife a little deeper. I started to get dizzy from the pain, but held on to my dear consciousness. I suddenly heard sirens, guessing they heard all the commotion going on over here. He looked at me, frowning, then smirked.

"This is not over." He said, and with that, he ran off into the woods. I saw the police coming, and thought about running up to them and telling them what just happened. But, I decided to keep it secret from everyone. I turned and ran further into the park. I heard the police tell the people that it was ok and that there was nothing going on. So, I decided to stay in the park for a while until everyone was gone.

I found the play area for kids, and decided to wait them out in the little tube thingy. I went inside and lay there. I saw through the little holes on the side the sky, and in the sky, were stars, just like the ones in my dream. I felt the urge to rest, and still heard people outside, so I decided to sleep, but only for like, five minutes or so.

I felt my eyes get heavy, and eventually close. I felt so relaxed, I didn't want to ever get up. I felt myself falling asleep, as I tried to tell myself to stand up, but just ended up staying there. "Goodnight, Chloe." I told myself, before falling into a deep, peaceful slumber.
