I sit on the couch watching the television, I look around the room is covered in red. I smile and laugh, "Ah this was fun to do, but something is missing." I looked around and see that there was spots that needed to be recolored… I hated the light blue paint on the wall. I hear a knock at my door I go over to answer it, standing there was a little bunny maybe four or five years old, she was almost solid white, with specks of grey.

"Hello miss, my name is Lora and I am a junior white scout." I smile as I look at her, she just smiled back and I opened the door more and walked outside almost closing the door immediately behind me. "That's sweet and cute, but why are you here?" Lora looked at me confused, she never had someone ask that almost immediately and in a rush.

"Umm well I am trying to get my community service badge and was just wondering around the community asking if anybody needed help." She then tried to look at my door I figure she is too young too understand much so might as well get her to help me paint the room.

"Well I guess you're in luck then, I do need some help with painting." I smiled at her and she gave me a little more concerned nervous look, before walking away, "Umm actually miss I think I don't really need the badge to get promoted to the senior rank." She then ran off down the street.

"Well then that was not normal, all well." I walk inside and look around making sure no one was spying on me, then after I saw the coast was clear I shut the door and looked at the red colored wall I then look in the paint bucket and saw there was little red left, I sighed.

"Well time to go get more paint." I leave the house and lock up I then go to the paint store and buy a couple more buckets of red paint, I then walk back into my house and again look around the outside again no one was suspicious. I smile and open a trapdoor I had covered with a rug.

I slowly make my way down the stairs, once I get to the bottom I look down a long tunnel I realized I forgot my paint cans up in my living room. I groaned to myself and then I climb the stairs back up, I then grab the paint cans and make my way back down the stairs and then I closed the trap door.

I then lit a match and lit a torch by the stairs I then used the lit torch to light the other torches in the area and then I made my way down the tunnel, I then stop in the middle where I had a black robe hanging on a hanger I quickly put it on and then started to take heavier steps when I go over to the door.

I open the door and there was someone laying down in a bed, I get in and I quickly close the door and lock it, I then clear my throat and lowered my voice so I sounded like a guy. "Hello again my dear, are you ready to help me paint more rooms of the inside of the house." The girl, that was laying in the bed was a eight or nine year old blue tiger, I walk over to the sash that was hanging on a rack.

"Or would you like to watch the television?" I turned the TV on and it was the news…

Breaking news, there has been several disappearances of little girls in a troop of white scouts, it has been confirmed that most the disappearances have occurred in one of the neighborhoods, but the authorities have no idea which neighborhood it is, if you have any information please call us at…

I was looking at the TV and an intern gave the anchorman that was reading the news a note,

Seems we have an update, there was a scared little junior scout that has went to a house in the 900th avenue of a neighborhood and we have confirmation that the neighborhood is one of the potential disappearance location... The anchorman thought they were already off air, and started to talk. "Okay we need someone to quickly go down there and verify this, this is great news." Suddenly the anchorwomen he was working with nervously smiled and prodded him.

The anchorman turns and sees the camera was still on and rolling, Well Umm that is all the information we have for the moment, good day everyone. I looked at the TV and sighed. "Well they narrowed it down, all well there is no evidence left." I then grabbed a knife and stabbed the femoral artery and then put an empty bucket and watched as it was filling fairly fast with blood.

I then grab one of the red paint cans and delicately took the label off of it and put it around the bucket filling with blood, I then walked over to the sink I installed down there and poured out the red paint and washed my hands and the knife. I then see the bucket full with blood, I wrap the wound and stop blood circulation in the leg; the tiger was barely alive. I was shocked she lost nearly all the blood in her body, but she was still alive. I smiled.

"Well good you can still feel the pain from when I re-open the circulation." She looked at me with beady eyes almost begging that I just kill her and get it over with, but I didn't care, much I just moved the bucket put the lid back on and washed the sides and made the can look like I never opened it in the first place. I then put the red paint bucket under her leg and loosened the binding that cut off the circulation to her leg.

After it was filled I then saw the tiger was finally dead, I sighed in relief a bit as I normally hate to leave witnesses around, I then think when I heard the news how did they figure out the neighborhood then I smack myself in the face and then growled in anger. I grabbed the cans and went back upstairs taking off the robe.

I then proceed to just dip a paint brush in the blood and started to paint the wall, a couple minutes later I hear a knock at the door, I was annoyed at first, but I quickly covered my emotion as I answered the door it was the little rabbit and a couple of police officers.

"Hello there, little miss, decided to help me paint?" I then looked at the officers, "She ran off earlier, I don't completely understand why." The officer then pushed me aside "Hey if you wanted in you could have asked." The officers didn't respond, but the little rabbit known as Lora walked in cautiously.

They walked over to the wall and felt the paint on the wall, they then proceeded to smell it and taste it, I was a little shocked, but I knew that mixing the blood with paint helps hide it from people doing that. The officer grimaced "It is paint." I looked at them and smiled. "Is that all you wanted to confirm officer?" they just got up and left without saying a word.

Lora looked at me with cute innocent eyes, but when the officers were out of the house and a little away. She smirked and grabbed my chest fur and pulled me to her face. "I know you are the one responsible for the disappearances and I will not stop until you get found out." I looked at her confused.

"Umm okay, but I really do need help with painting, since you do owe me something for wasting my time, and bringing the police in here for nothing." She glared at me and then kicked the paint bucket over and spilled the blood onto the floor. She then started to walk out of the house, but before she got out the door I hit her in the back of the head and shut the door I then grabbed her unconscious body and took her all the way down into the room at the end of the tunnel.

I then clean myself up and get back up into the living room turned the television on and see that the anchorman was apologizing over the news that the information the station was given was considered false so they ended the investigation I turned the TV off and then smile and continued painting until I ran out of red paint and then I heard a knock at the door.

I get up and answer it; there was a little girl bear standing at the door. "Hello Miss, I am a junior white scout, looking to gain my community service badge." I smile as I opened the door and let her in. "Of course you can help me paint the house."
