3rd POV

"So, what do we do now?" Horror asked as he looked at Killer, who shrugged. They both were in the living room, looking at Azzy. Since Horror and Killer were trying to figure out what 'normal' people do when babysitting a child. So, without them knowing, Azzy had venture out of the room.

"Why don't we ask him what he wants to do," Killer said as they both looked to the spot that once held Azzy. "Where did he go?" Horror asked nervously, thinking of what Blue would do to them if he found out Azzy was missing. Out of nowhere, they heard a crash coming upstairs. They hurried to the sound and found a broken vase, but no Azzy in sight. "Why don't we split up and look for him. I take the upstairs and you go downstairs. Okay?" Killer said as he looked at Horror. "Okay," was the response he got as he went to get a broom and dust pan.

Horror went downstairs to check the kitchen, while also getting a snack. As he was about to leave, he heard shuffling behind him. When he turned around, he saw Azzy carrying/balancing a stack of books to the counter next to where they kept the pastries. He hurried and got Azzy before he fell from the weight of the books. "You shouldn't run away kid, this house isn't exactly 'child proof'," Horror said as he looked down at his arms to see Azzy now standing.

"Can we play Hide n' Seek?" Azzy asked with his bright light blue eyes. "Uh, sure kid. Let's just get Killer," Horror said as he lead Azzy to the upstairs. "Hey Kills, the kid wants to play a game," Horror yelled out into the hallways. Killer poked his head out from one of the rooms, and walked towards them. He noticed Azzy beside Horror and breathe in relief. "Alright, what do you want to play kid?" Killer asked as he looked at Azzy. "Hide n' Seek, but first can I get my bag from the room?" Azzy asked.

Killer nodded and lead the two to the guest room that Blue and Azzy slept in. Azzy went to the nightstand and got a brown satchel, then returned to the other two. "Ready kid?" Azzy nodded in response of Horror's question. "Okay, then who will start?" Horror asked as Azzy thought of his next plan. "What about you," Azzy pointed to Killer's direction. Killer was surprised at first, but then remembered something. "Don't go into Nightmare's room. That is off limits, including the wing itself," Killer said to the both of them, but mostly to Azzy. Both nodded and Killer started to count.

Killer had found Horror first, who had chosen to hide in a closet. He found Azzy hidden on top of a shelf in one of the guest room closets. Horror counted, finding Killer in the janitor closet. And Azzy in the broom closet upstairs. They were all having fun. This whole babysitting thing might just be easy. Where the last thoughts both adults had before they regretted this decision.

"WHERE IS HE?!"
"Azzy, where you at kid?"
"We promise to give you all the sweets"
"SHIT, where did all the pastries go?!"
"Check the dungeons"
"His not in there"
"What about the yard"
"We checked there already"
"Well check again"

Both Horror and Killer were running around the house looking for Azzy. But what they didn't know was that Azzy had hidden in the attic, with the box of pastries and a jar of orange juice. The bag he got had a sketchbook, pencils, and watercolor. Including, an MP3 that was connected to a pair of wireless earphones. He was sitting next to a window that overlooked the forest, lose in his imagination.

What he didn't notice was the two figures that were going into the woods. Both wearing blue jackets, one of them having a reddish color to it.

This went on for hours.
