Going somewhere. Staying inside. Visiting friends. All of them, everyday activities, that you do a lot. For Ava Williams...she was usually an introvert, but of course, had a few friends. She is 20 years old, and goes to college.

She lives alone, in a little house on a hill away from the neighborhood. Nearly nobody comes by, not even passing cars. It was a quiet, peaceful area. She layed down, watching T.V. "I should make a sandwich. I'm hungry." She said.

As she walks to the kitchen, a shiver runs down her spine. "What?" She looks around the room. It must be all my imagination.

She gets to the kitchen, cutting up tomatoes, all the ingredients and makes a sandwich. As she takes a bite, the window above her has a shadow. "What is that!?" As soon as she said this, the shadow ran away.

Quickly, she grabs her phone and texts her friend.

"Hey, Ashley..."

"yeah? what's up, Ava?"

"I was making a sandwich, but, when I came back to lay down there was a shadw in my window. It just...ran away when I said something."

"Ava...there's a rumor going around. do you want to hear it?"

"Yeah. Of course."

"someone, or something, is stalking people in this town, looking for someone. nobody knows who, though. maybe, the shadow was the thing that's going around."

Her and her friends talk for a very long time. Eventually, it gets incredibily late.

"gtg ava, maybe you should sleep"

"Yeah. I just hope i'm not the one he's looking for."

"nighty ava"

"G'night."

''Yeah, it's getting late. I'll go to bed now.''

Suddenly, I hear knocking at my door....

I check the door, and turning on the light, someone is staring in my peephole, with this...unsettling stare...I don't want to at all, but...

I have to open the door...Gently, I peep outside.

"Sir? Ma'am?"

"Hello there, child."

Confused, since clearly she was a grown woman, she looks in shock. "May I come in...?" She did not want him in her house. "Sorry but...I'm busy." was her excuse. She tryed to close the door but he pushes himself in the way.

"You are...not the one."

"P-please go away!"

"You. Are. Not. The. One."

"What do you want from me...?"

He pulls out a sharp knife.

"Do as I say, or I will kill you."

"Y-yes sir..."

"Stab yourself in the eye with this knife."

"Are you insane!?"

She didn't want to die...but...she took the knife.

"I'll do it." She said, as she hesitated for a moment.

...

...

...and then I jabbed it into my eye. Blood was everywhere, she was whelping in pain and fell to the floor holding her eye. "No..." Everything blurred in an instant, and she fainted.

"What a shame." He said...

then he stabbed Ava in the stomach.

"Ava? Ava?

...Oh my god...No...

Ava! Wake up!

...

...who are you?
