~Your POV~

I laid on the couch watching TV and just realized it was 10:23 pm. "Shit, I need to get to bed before Dad gets on my ass." I turned off the TV and quickly headed up the stairs, until I saw the lights to Dad's room still on. 'Damn it.' I thought to myself for a plan. Carefully I walk towards my room but the wood floor creaked. Dad yelled, "Who's there?! Come out or else!"

'Oh no, oh god I don't wanna be caught by him now!' Thinking to myself I tried to find a place to hide but all we had was a small plant. 'May be my only choice!' I hid behind the plant while Dad walked by me. Thinking to myself 'Now's my chance!', I quickly ran into my room and in my bed just in time. Dad quickly ran into my room and turned on the light switch. He looks around, sees everything is okay and leaves. Whispering to myself "Whew I got lucky this time…"

It's been ten years since my mom died. I can somehow remember what happened…

~Flashback at 6 years old~

"Haha Mommy, Mommy look what I found, a kitten!"

"Oh how cute (y/n)." Mother looked at the kitten and smiled.

"Mary? Oh you found a kitten, well isn't it adorable."

I gave them my best puppy dog eyes. "Can we keep it? I promise to take care of it!"

Mom look at Dad, "Yes but you must take responsibility of it okay?"

In my excitement, I yelled, "Yay! Thank you!"

~later that day~

"Mommy have you seen Lucy?"

"No sweetie, why not ask your father."

I went into the family room and ask Dad, but he hadn't seen her either. "Oh Lucy where are you?" Worried, I looked all over the place and notice the front door was open. "Uhh, Daddy how long was the door open?" "Oh I just opened it just tw-" And soon we heard a car screech, we ran outside to see what it was but when I saw a kitten in the street I thought to myself 'Please don't let it be Lucy, please!' Dad looked and there was silence. "Is it Lucy?"

"I'm sorry (y/n), but it is…" I began to cry over her. And later that day Dad bury Lucy in the backyard. Mom pat my head. "I'm sorry dear, if we paid more attention to Lucy, this wouldn't had happen…"

"Mommy it's okay, because of that I'm sure Lucy is in heaven.

Mom smiled, "(y/n) you're so brave but bravery won't last long, sometimes you need to cry ok?" "Yes Mommy"

~Three days later~

Mom and Dad got into a car accident, when they arrived at the hospital, Mom died and so did my Dad's heart. I thought how Lucy died, for some reason it felt like a sign to my parents, I just didn't realize it before it was too late. Since then Dad has been getting drunk to flush his feelings away.

One day I peeked inside of my Dad's room, he held a beer bottle in one hand and a picture of our family in the other. It no longer felt like a family…...

~Back into the present~

"Mom everytime I think of you, I can't really sleep." Tears started to run down my face as I have the sheets over me. "Mom I miss you..." I cried myself to sleep.

~Dad POV~(going a little back into the past)

"Who's there!? Come out or else!" I looked around with my beer bottle in my hand. Suddenly I heard footsteps running towards my daughter's room and quickly I went after them. When I arrived, turned on the lights to (y/n)'s room there was nothing there. "(y/n), I won't let anything happen to you no matter what." I kissed her forehead and headed to my bedroom. Getting my shotgun ready, I put it next to my bed and quickly went to bed. "Mary please watch down on (y/n), she's the only thing I have of you and I don't want to lose her."

~Later that night~Laughing Jack POV~

Standing in front of my next victim's house made me feel weird for some odd reason, I felt like this victim is…...different. I enter the house with no problem as usual. "Hmm from the looks of it, seems they had deaths in the family, hmm oh well." I shrugged my shoulders and began walking upstairs. I seem to found the father's room but assumed just the end of the hallway must be the child's room. I open the door and came to see her face, smiling as usual I have to scare her. Looking at her I realized she was crying herself to sleep and I felt her face which her tears seem to be fresh. "Sheesh this girl must of cried herself to sleep, hmm?" I noticed she has a mark on her hand, I went for a closer look but the lights of her room switched on. Standing behind me was her father with a shotgun. "Damn it."

~Your POV~

The lights switched on to my room. I opened my eyes to see what's going on and to my horror a clown was standing in front of my bed, taller than my father, no color what so ever just black, white, and gray. Father was getting his shotgun ready. "D-Dad?"

"Honey don't panic, okay?"

The clown began to laugh, "She would panic anyway! Maybe I should of killed you while you were still sleeping!" The clown was going to attack my father, I can't afford to lose him, so I pulled out my knife from under my pillow and jumped on the clowns back. "Daddy shoot him!"

Dad knew what he had to do, with my strength I jumped off the clowns back and Dad shot him. The clown took a critical hit, making him fall backwards to the ground and started to bleed out black blood. I ran towards my Dad's arms and was relief that he wasn't hurt. "(y/n) are you okay?"

"Yes Daddy, I'm fine." We both looked at the body and Dad suggested something about it. " From now on we need to protect ourselves, okay? I love you and I don't want anything happen to you." "Okay, Daddy and i love you too." Dad hugged me, but as soon he was about to say something the clown that was once lying on the ground, is now in a sitting position, clapping. "Wow that was touching but not for long." Dad began to shoot again but only made holes in his body and soon after he began chasing us.
