A/N: Hi, everyone! I'm so sorry for not updating last night, but by the time I got home, it was too late to write anything. I thought it was a good idea to write tonight, even though I had other plans. I won't be updating again until Saturday, either, because of the writing things I have to do, plus my job! Well, I think that's all I have to say. Let's go!

PS: I love how Christmas music randomly plays on the radio, while I'm writing a Christmas-themed story (even though this particular Home Alone story is taking place during Halloween).

Chapter 6: Escape

Kevin's PoV:

I look at the window beside my bed, as an idea forms in my mind. If that window isn't properly locked, I can use it to my advantage, to try and escape from Marv. I don't care if he's my Father or harmless, I need to get back home. I can't stand the idea of being away from my family any longer than this. If Marv's intentions are correct, then I won't be seeing my home in Chicago for a very long time (even though I have no idea whether I'm still there, or not).

I stand up on the bed and try to lift up the window, but it doesn't budge. It can't be frozen shut (I almost said "shit" there), because, while it's cold outside, it's not that cold out to freeze the window shut. I'm wondering if it's just locked, but there doesn't seem to be a switch to unlock it. It looks like the type of window you can open, but apparently, it's not.

I begin to panic a little, but I try to keep myself level-headed. I hop down from the bed and head for the door. Surprisingly, it opens! Marv didn't lock it, after all… Opening the door wider, I manage to slip through, wondering which direction I should head down the hall. I have no idea how this house is laid out, so I'm really taking my chances here.

I choose to turn left and head down the hall, because there seems to be a gap at the corner of the wall, where a staircase would be. Sure enough, once I reach that end of the hall, there's a staircase going straight down. For some reason, this is the area, where I feel a bit deceived.

I widen my eyes, because I can see the front door from here. It's freedom (no, it's fish). Though, Marv could be watching me, and catch me in the act! Though, I have to take my chances. That's what I did last year. I can't let fear stand in the way. I have to be courageous.

"This is it… Don't get scared now," I say these words to myself, as I did last year.

I was terrified of the burglars (yes, Dad) breaking into my house, but it all worked out in the end. Also, I had a blast putting Harry and Marv through that funhouse, even if Marv is my Dad!

I quickly but quietly, rush down the stairs and race for the front door. As soon as I place my hand on the doorknob, I hear, "Na ah… I don't think so," My heart drops, and I feel like I'm in trouble now. Marv sounds like he's behind me, but not so close, that I can't open the door and rush outside. That's exactly what I try to do, but I find that the door is locked. By the time I manage to unlock the door, Marv grabs on to my arm. I freeze, as he pulls me closer to him. I look up at him with fear. I almost feel like I did on that Christmas Eve night, when I was coming up the basement stairs; only to be caught by Harry and Marv (or Dad). "I told you, Kevin, I can't let you go back home. Now, go upstairs, and think about what you've done."

He points directly up the stairs, as if he's really expecting me to follow suit. I begin to pout, as I continue looking at him. He's glaring at me, and I don't know whether to take it seriously, or not.

This is when I decide I should test him, "You wanna bet?" That's when I stomp on Marv's foot, causing him to cry out in pain. I run for the door, which is now unlocked, and head for the cold night air…

To be Continued…

A/N: Thanks again, folks! :D Wow… Kevin is doing the whole "escaping" thing again, is he? Who knows how that's going to turn out? I'm pretty sure you know what'll happen next… The question is: What'll happen, when that happens? XD (A bit of a brain teaser for you…) Anyway, I think that's all I have to say! So, adios! :P
