We've been spending a lot more time in the apartment, only leavening for needed items. I've been trying to talk Jay into going to the doctors; neither of us have been feeling good since we came back from the house. Not a day goes by when one of us has a headache or coughing fits; not to mention we're both getting little sleep and our moods, mostly mine, was getting more irritable. He insists that we're both fighting a cold and it's nothing to worry about; probably didn't want to admit something was affecting our health. I spent a few days scrubbing off the marks; besides nearly rubbing my skin off there wasn't anything bad about them. There wasn't any other threats made for either of us, which calmed my nerves a bit but it did little to Jay. He spends most of his time going over the surveillance footage from the cameras around the apartment. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried at all; all he seems to do is watch the tapes, assuring himself that nothing is coming after us. I wonder if this was how Alex acted when no one else was around; always checking to see if that creature was following him.

"I'm heading to bed, are you going to stay up?" Jay had been looking through last nights footage while I was checking the YouTube and Twitter accounts.

"No, I'm going to sleep."

"Ok, see you in the morning."

"Night Jay." He went into his room and closed the door, leaving me along. I shut down my laptop, worn down from the lack of sleep. I checked to make sure the camera was recorded, taking comfort that something was keeping an eye on me. I laid down and pulled the blanket up to my chin, hoping I'd get more than a few hours of sleep.

I awoke some hours later; I could of swore there was someone standing over me. For a second I thought someone was in the corner but another look showed there wasn't anyone in the living room.

"Calm down Katie, you're over imaging things." I heard a door close; it was in the apartment but I didn't know which. "Jay, that you?" No response. I walked over to his door, trying to hear inside; the whole apartment was quite. I peered inside to make sure he was ok. I was surprised and frustrated to see yet again Jay had disappeared.

"For the love...this can't be happening again!" This was the second time he had vanished without me knowing. "Why...why does this keep happening to us? I thought we were done with this crap!" I kicked the wall in my brief rage; being angry wasn't going to help but I was mad that something kept messing around with us. I heard some footsteps near the front door; peering out I didn't see anyone around but I still held my guard up. "Is someone here?" No response; I slowly made my way out into the living room, listening for more noises. "Huh, guess I must have imagine- ahh!" Someone tackled me to the ground, knocking the wind out of me. I managed to squirm out from under them, only pausing to see Masky was my attacker. I made a break for the door but he grabbed my leg, causing me to fall again. Before I had time to get back up he pulled me back towards him. I tried to push and kick him off but he held my arms above my head and pinned my legs between his.

"Get off of me you freak! What do you want with us?!" He simply stared at me; that mask and him not making a sound made him seem almost unreal. "Where's Jay? What did you do with him?!" Still not a peep from him. I faintly caught a smell from him; it was...cigarette smoke? With a free hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small knife; I tried again to get him off but stopped when he pressed the knife against my neck. "Please, please don't kill me." I closed my eyes, hoping he wouldn't hurt me. My mind flashed back to the note Jay got; I prayed he wasn't about to keep that promise. I felt the knife leave, I thought I was free before his hands replaced it. "Ack...ugh..." I could barely make a sound as I tried to free my neck. He was a lot stronger than I first thought; I could barely move his hands. Darkness was creeping into my vision as I tried one last time to pull him off, only to end up passing out.

"Wake up, Katie. Come on, wake up!" Someone was shaking my shoulder. I blinked a few times, shielding my eyes from the bright light.

"Uhh...Jay? Where..." My voice cracked and my throat felt very dry. I slowly sat up; my whole body hurt from being thrown and laying on the floor all night.

"I woke up a few minutes ago and found you on the floor. What happened last night?"

"What happened was you disappeared again and Masky attacked me."

"Wait, he was here? He broke into the apartment?"

"Well I certainly didn't let the creep in." I pulled myself up in to a chair; I've must of hit the floor harder than I first thought. Jay had went back into his room, probably getting his security camera.

"I'm going to check exactly what happened last night. Are you sure you're ok?" He asked grabbing the camera for the living room.

"I'm fine, just sore and really thirsty." I helped myself to some water while Jay looked over the tapes from his room and the living room. I took some aspirin as well; I couldn't stop my body from aching but I could stop my head. "You find anything?" I asked once my voice was somewhat back to normal.

"Yeah it's...well, I'm not sure how to explain this; I get up and leave my room but I never come out the door."

"You did what?" I went to watch the tape with him; sure enough, Jay left his room but never came out into the living room. "That's odd to say the least, anything else?"

"I found when the masked guy attacked you; seems like he was watching you before." It was about 10 minutes after Jay disappeared when there was some movement behind the couch. You could faintly make out his mask as he watched me sleep. He moved out of the camera shot after a couple of minutes and a few seconds later I woke up, everything else happening like I remembered it.

"I can't believe that freak was watching me sleep." I was angry, but also scared; who knows what he could of done while I was asleep. "So now what are we going to do? We lock all the doors and windows yet he keeps getting in. We might as well board up everything."

"That might be our only choice." We were both at a lost on what to do, knowing that Masky could break in anytime. "I think it might be best if we get out of here, hide somewhere. Who knows, as long as we don't stay in one place for too long he might not find us." I wasn't too big on the whole hiding thing but it was better than staying here.

"I'm willing to do anything to get away from this guy; I don't know much more of this I can take."

"Same here, hopefully things will die down soon if we can get rid of this guy."
