**POV switch: First Person**

It's been two weeks since my last kill, one week since Kasey started playing this used game on an old Nintendo 64 she'd found at some pawn shop for a good price. I don't understand why someone so easily frightened as her would continue playing a game that was clearly scaring her more and more. Creepy things had started happening the day she'd brought that old console and game back here. Of course, I wasn't scared at all, being how I am. Actually, I was pretty amused. I decided maybe it was time to watch her play the used Majora's Mask cartridge since I'd never bothered yet.

"You've met with a terrible fate…haven't you?" I cooed in her ear as I snuck up behind her, reading from the screen. I laughed as this had the effect of making Kasey jump and shriek in fear. "So easily frightened, you are! Whatever in hell's halls possessed you to get Majora's Mask of all games?"

"A-Ari! Don't sn-sneak up on m-me like th-that! And I…um…I thought the name was cute, s-so I didn't think it'd be so scary," she replied. "B-but now…I don't know…I-I can't stop playing for long, a-and it's like…l-like someone's w-watching me or something."

"Fy dduwies! You're so naïve! Look into things before getting them! Now you've fallen so deep into this abyss that I can't pull you out of it," I scoffed, jumping over the couch's back and sitting next to her. "The only thing for me to do is fall right in with you. And unlike you, I'm not so easily frightened and am quite capable of dealing with the worst of things."

"B-but—" Kasey was cut off from what she had been about to say by a screeching dial tone noise and we both looked over to the screen, Kasey with a frightened wide-eyed stare and me with a sharp glare. The screen had gone black but for a single sentence of white lettering:

YoU ShOuLdN'T hAvE DoNe ThAt…

Kasey whimpered and tried shrinking into the couch as if that would do her any good. I guessed it had something to do with Kasey having thrown the controller when I'd scared her, which had resulted in said controller breaking. That seemed fairly likely: no controller meant she couldn't play the game. The words on the screen faded out as a shape formed in place of them.

"Wh-what's happening?!" Kasey cried as wires from the TV snared our feet. A disturbing image of Link with bleeding eyes and black sclera finished forming and he reached a hand through the screen, pulling himself out of the 2D world into this one. I merely grinned crazedly as adrenaline and excitement flowed through my veins and I pulled my favourite flick knife from my skirt pocket, slashing the wire at my ankles in the same fluid motion as I freed the tiny silver blade. I then swiftly freed Kasey's feet from the wire ensnaring her, the Link-look-a-like screeching as if this simple action had hurt him.

"You really shouldn't have done that!" he snarled, glaring at me as I laughed.

"Well, excuse me, Princess," I retorted tauntingly, pretty sure he'd catch the quote. An eye twitch, a reaction that meant anger and irritation. I'd gotten to him and his attention was solely on me now. If only Kasey weren't so dull and ran while she still had the chance to.

"Don't mock me!" he growled as he lunged for me. I evaded at the last second and got behind him, close enough to nail him in the back with my elbow and send him sprawling on the floor.

"If you value your life, Kasey dear, I suggest you run far away from here," I said as I brought my bare foot down upon the male's back. "I don't think I can hold the bloodlust back much longer, and that means I might come after you next."

"A-Ari! Please, don't s-say such th-things!" Kasey whimpered weakly. This girl was so troublesome. She really should just run regardless or her usefulness would outlive her.

"Just go!" I snapped at her, making her jump with a frightened squeak. She finally listened and ran as Link-look-a-like caught me in wires around my legs, torso, and arms. Despite this, I kept a that hold of my precious knife as I glared at him. He smirked as he got in my face as if he won, but all he'd done was manage to get the upper hand for a little while. He'd find out soon enough I wasn't so easy to keep subdued. I had a vendetta to accomplish one day, after all.

"It's about time for you to meet with a terrible fate," he sneered as a wire coiled tightly round my throat, only to scream a moment later and glare at the black-furred feline who'd severed the wires to free me. Now I was the one smirking.

"Such a good kitty, aren't you, Cheshire~" I cooed at the cat and laughed. I shrugged the loosened bits of severed wire from myself. "Only fools gloat before they've truly won the fight. Don't underestimate me, darling."

"You'll pay for this! You're going to regret it!" he snarled as he backed away cautiously.

"I don't have the ability to regret, love. Your words fall upon deaf ears to think such," I mused, stepping toward him. He was retreating into the TV screen, already partly in.

"Just wait till I'm back. You'll see," he said, then was gone. The TV was suddenly off once he was gone and I gave a low growl. Now I had the urge to torture someone. Good thing Kasey had run off as I'd told her to, or she'd be my outlet. I quickly went to my room and changed, spray-dying my hair black and putting in contacts so no one would recognise me or be able to give my actual looks aside from how pale I am thanks to my albinism, then some make-up to hide my pallor. "Maybe I'll run into that missing Link, but I doubt it. Either way, someone's gotta die terribly today…"
