Hmm..I thought to myself, neighborhood seems quiet, should be easy enough.

I emerged from my hiding spot behind the treeline and walked out onto the street, readjusting my mask for good measures. There were very few street lamps, and the night sky was pitch black, so I could move without having to worry about being spotted. It was a small neighborhood, nothing more than a few blocks, encircled by dense woods; and all of its residents were either asleep or out for the night. I silently made my way down the road, taking in my surroundings. I turned towards the first house at my left, a simple one story building, concrete steps, lots of windows.

No biggy. I climbed the steps to the front door, but before I even touched the door knob I saw the small camera placed above the door. I looked down again at the handle and found a small sensor that had been placed around it. Alarms. Great. For a small neighborhood they sure take a lot of precautions, which in this case saved them...at least for now. Reaching up, I opened up the back of the camera and pulled out the cartridge. I hadn't been caught before, and I didn't plan to break that record because of a rookie mistake. I jumped off of the steps and continued my search for my next victims. I decided upon another home, not too far down the street. It had wooden porch, two floors, and a large oak tree that stretched up to a window.

Perfect. I was more careful this time, observing the house from all sides for any security devices before quickly scaling the tree out front. Looking into the house from the branch I was perched on, I saw a desk with a computer, a railing that lead down a set of stairs, and four doors; two on either side of the steps. One of which was partially opened, and I was able to make out several posters lining the walls.

Looks like they've got kids. I leaned forward for a better look, and nearly fell out of the tree when a large set of vibrant green eyes were suddenly on the other side of the glass. "Ugh,cats," I mumbled to myself, "I fucking hate cats." The animal left as fast as it came, and I was able to go on with my business without any further distractions. I carefully opened up the window, and landed lightly on the plush carpet inside. I crept down the hallway towards the doors on my right, where the only light on the entire street seemed to be coming from. One door led to a bathroom, and another to a large bedroom. Guessing these are their parents. I thought, noting the two large figures underneath the covers. I turned and left the room, then came up to the first door on the opposite side of the hall. The one that was open beside it reeked of perfume so strong I was practically gagging.

Must be their daughter. I turned the handle and the door opened easily. I peeked in and saw a small white desk, TV, and a bunk bed at the far end of the room. A also noticed a laptop resting on top of the vanity, along with several games stacked up alongside an xbox next to the TV. Hanging on the walls were an assortment of Minecraft posters-even a calender, and a green Minecraft hoodie draped across the top bunk.

Gamer, huh? Ill have to tell Ben about this one. I slowly entered the room, but had taken no more than a few steps when I was stopped. There were a few rustling noises behind me and then came a low, guttural growl. I turned my head to see a dog-a HUGE dog, standing in the doorway of the parents' room. Shit! I thought, A DOG? How did I miss their DOG!? I couldn't even tell what breed it was but it was big, and must have been a mutt of some sort. Maybe a mix of, I don't know, boxer and...what, elephant? I would've slapped myself if the forehead for being so stupid if it didn't mean giving away my almost blown cover. Oh and the situation got even better. I heard a small groan from the kid just a few feet away and saw them turn over in their bed. No don't get up! Go to sleep! God, where's Jeff when you need him?

Too late, the little twerp was already rolling over and pulling the blankets over themselves.

"Frannie, come on, its too early for this." It was at this moment when I realized that it wasn't a kid at all, it was a girl; maybe a couple years younger than me. The girl stood up and threw on the hoodie I had seen earlier, and started to walk towards me. But before she reached me she stopped and reached for something on the desk, which she accidentally knocked off onto the ground.

"Shit." she swore to herself and crouched down, searching the floor for whatever she dropped. While the girl was distracted I quickly thought through all of my possible options:

Kill the girl now, fend off the mammoth ( which was sure to attack once I was finished with her), and jump out the window before I'm seen

Kill the girl, and try to jump out the window before Beasty beats me to it

Find a way to sneak around them both, and make it to the exit the while the girl distracts the Sasquatch

Oh the options to chose from! Slender would definitely be mad if I got caught in the act, and Jeff would never let go of the fact that I was caught off guard by some human and her mutt- seriously what is that?! Baby grizzly wandered too far from the cave? Plus it's almost sunrise. If I don't kill soon ( and I mean soon) I'll most likely get my access to the human world suspended. All of these thoughts raced through my head as the girl crouched down and searched for the object she knocked over. At another glace I saw that they were glasses, which explained the struggle she was having finding them, even in the faint light coming from the room a short ways away.

She brushed aside a piece of loose paper on the floor in the process of locating her glasses; a drawing, in fact. Great, I groaned internally as I saw the sketch, depicting Jeff and Smile, yet another fangirl. Might as well do it now, while she's busy. I silently pulled the scalpel from my back pocket. I raised it over my head, causing another growl to escape from that behemoth's mouth, and made an attempt to swipe at the girl's neck when I again froze mid swing when she abruptly stood up.

"Alright, alright, I'm coming ya big oaf." Without retrieving her glasses, she once again walked in my direction. I again prepared to strike, although the preparation was not needed. She walked right past me into the hallway. Right past me! Didn't even glance in my direction, not once! Guess we're going with plan C then...All I had to do is wait for her to distract the devil's lap dog and I'd be home free.

"Okay Fran what is it? Need to go outside? Is that it girl?" she questioned the dog in a

hushed voice. The only response she got as shallow grunt as the dog made another cautious step towards me. "Hey now," the girl whispered as she knelt down beside the dog, "whats gotcha all worked up?" She stroked the bristled hairs on the dog's back , "There's nothing there Frannie, just your imagination again. No need to get hostile."

Gosh I love irony. Here the mutt is trying to protect her from a serial killer, one here to slaughter her and her entire family (along with that stupid cat if I get the chance) and shes brushing the gorilla to the side like its nothing. Maybe things are turning in my favor after all.

The girl noticed the open window and went over to shut it. I was luckily still out of sight inside her room, so she didn't see me standing there; to the window, or on her way back over to the dog. Speaking of the monstrosity, it made another attempt to step closer to me, but was stopped short by the girl's arm. "That's enough..."she yawned, "for one night Fran. Back to bed, come on." At first the dog didn't budge, and let out a sound that started out as a snarl, but turned into a whine as it looked up pleadingly at the girl's face. "No, I know you wanna protect us but there isn't anything there, lets go girl." She stood and ushered the animal back into the room it had come from. Once fuzz-face was in, she leaned in and turned off her parent's TV, and gently closed the door after whispering "good night" to the dog. She then turned, took a few steps towards her room, and looked up. That's when she finally saw me.
