The night was quiet, peaceful at most. They're in the house, tidying up after dinner, getting ready to head out for a night walk. As they finished organizing and cleaning up, they got their water bottle and headed out without another second thought. The air outside is fresh and warm, as it's a late-summer night. As they walked down the street, everything seemed normal until they saw a tall figure standing at the end of the street behind a lamppost, hiding their appearance.

Chapter One: Confusion

As she walked down the sidewalk, something from the corner of her eye caught her attention.

*What the hell is that?* As she turned towards that direction, squinting her eyes, trying to make out whatever was hiding behind the lamp-post.

“Okay… fuck this I’m leaving.” She took some steps back, and something grabbed her wrist.

*What the hell!* She looked up at whatever was grabbing her wrist, and she froze, eyes wide open.

“ Who...who the fuck are u!?” She’s tugging her wrist back.

The tall man doesn’t answer her and just looks at her, and then out of nowhere, he picks her up. She goes completely still as she's trying to process what's happening. The tall figure just throws her over his shoulder as if she were just a sack of potatoes.

“ WHAT THE FUCK! HEY, PUT ME DOWN!”

“You’re too loud, stay quite”

“STAY QUIET, MY ASS, PUT ME DOWN NOW!!!”

“ God, you don’t shut up, do you?”

As he smirks and covers your mouth with his hand. As he muffles your protest and arguments. In your mind, your thoughts are racing.

*Who is this man?*

*What does he want?*

*Where is he taking me?*

You could hear your heart pounding in your ears as you're kicking and trying to free yourself from his grasp, but he doesn't flinch; he just holds you tight, preventing you from escaping in any way possible. A house starts coming into view, you start to focus your eyes, and you see it, your house. Your eyes are wide.

*What the hell!? How does he know where I fucking live!?*

He starts walking towards the back door to your backyard. Then he slowly lowers you onto the ground in front of a side hole in the back of your house. It was never there, or so that's what you thought, in all the four years of you living in this house, you never noticed a hole the size of a crawl space for an animal you thought, but the closer he pushed you inside, the bigger you saw the crawl space to be. You're resting on being pushed inside to god knows what hell is in there, but his strength, compared to yours, is no match whatsoever. He manages to push you into the crawl space, as it’s dark and narrow in there, and you start to panic. You looked around and thought, *It’s my house; I should know it like the back of my hand.* When he was gonna grab you again, you made a run for it; the darkness wasn't making it easy to see anything.

“Hey! Stop running!”

You hear him call out, but your to focus on escaping then stopping any time soon.

“Get the Fuck Away from ME!” You yelled back.

Just your luck, you hit a dead end blocking your escape from wherever the hell you're in.

“I said stop running, you're making it harder than it is.”
