(Its all fine.. XD)

Serina sat there on the couch as the horror movie played. Her eyes seemed to be glued to the screen as she clutched one of the couch pillows. She was watching a horror movie about vampires since Holloween was just around the corner so she figured she would watch one. But she wasn't the biggest fan of them, even at the age of 18. They just scared her like she was a little kid again, and she couldn't explain why. She was in her apartment all alone, the only thing other than herself inside was her cat, Midnight, but he was perched in the window watching out into the night like he always did.

She had only recently moved away from home, but she was glad because of it. At least now she wouldn't have to put up with her drunk ass father and she could finally live her life in peace with her friends by her side.

The movie was almost over when a hand from behind Serina suddenly grasped her shoulder, causing her to jump five feet off the couch and land on her butt on the floor. She looked at the person who had scared her, who was now in fits of laughter. It was her best friend Kristelle. "Don't do that!", Serina exclaimed, "You almost gave me a heart attack!". "Oh come on, really? You are so jumpy!", laughed Kristelle, coming around the couch and grabbing the remote, shutting the movie off and flipping through the channels to find something good on TV. "Hey, I was watching that!", Serina glared at her best friend. "I know, but little kids shouldn't be watching those kinds of movies. They'll have nightmares", Kristelle teased, stciking her tongue out playfully at Serina. Kristelle had a key to Serina's place in case of emergency's so that was how she had gotten in. She never felt the need to knock. Always came right in. She wished she'd stop doing that.

As Kristelle continued to flip through channels, she landed on the local news and it was talking about recent mass murders happening around the city, the most recent one actually only a couple of blocks from Serina's appartment. "The Mass Murderer has struck again. A body of a young girl was found dumped in an alley with two puncture wounds on her neck and it would appear that she did fight till the end according to what reports say. We do not know what the killer looks like, but if you see anyone suspicious call 911 immediately. Do not try and handle anything on your own. This man is dangerous....". "A mass murderer...?!", Serina quickly jumped to her feet, "Why didn't I hear about this sooner?!". "Because you haven't watched the news the past few days", Kristelle replied simply, "Don't worry so much about it though. It's probably just some prank they're pulling anyway since Holloween is only a few days away. I mean, puncture marks to the neck? Hello, vampires! It has to be a hoax".

"Oh I guess....maybe...", Serina replied, biting her lip now. She was still worried. Kristelle then shut off the television and rose to her feet, "Come on, I'm gunna get you out of this stuffy apartment for the night. You need to loosen up!", and with that, she was pulled from her apartment by her friend, only able to quickly slip on her shoes before they were out the door. "Where are we going?", Serina asked, blinking at her friend in curiosity as they headed for Kristelle's car. "To a party, where else?!", Kristelle announced. A party. Oh no.

When Kristelle went to a party, it normally meant there was booze involved. Serina wasn't a drinker so she didn't drink at all, but Kristelle...well all it took was five drinks and she was out cold. Like now. Serina shook Kristelle, trying to get her to wake up as the party began to die down. It was now well after midnight and Serina wanted to go home. "Kristelle...wake up!", she wouldn't budge. Serina sighed, shaking her head. She hadn't even had time to grab her wallet so she didn't even have any money for a cab home. It meant she had to walk. She took Kristelle's keys and took her apartment key off of it so she could get into her apartment and headed out of the house. By now, most of the people were passed out or had already left, and probably all driving home drunk.

Serina sighed as she began walking down the street. "Why do I let her drag me places? I really have to learn to say no...", she murmured, "No I have to walk...". She stared at the concrete as she walked, listening to her foot steps and for any other sounds of the night. She hated walking at night. It was just dangerous, and her mind always went wild when she was walking alone at night. But her thoughts quickly wandered back to that news report about the Mass Murderer and she quickened her pace. She just wanted to get home now and relax.

She glanced to the side, seeing someone elses shadow behind her own. She jumped and quickly turned around. No one was there. Her heart began to pound in her chest, beating in her ears and ubstructing her hearing. "I-Is someone there...?", she asked in a shakey voice. No reply. No sign of anyone at all. The streets were bare, houses were dark, and she was the only one stupid enought to be walking home alone at night. "Maybe I should just go back and stay at that house the party was at...", she murmured, knowing that it was the closest thing right now and she was completely freaked. So she turned around and began heading back towards the house in sort of a sprint now. She had only walked a couple blocks away so sprinting wouldn't take her long to get there. Something suddenly crashed down in the alley she had just passed and she stopped.

She froze up, her body tensing as she turned and looked towards the alley. It was probably just a cat. Ya, just a stray that had knocked over the garbage can. That's it. She was trying to calm herself down. But when she turned back around to continue on her way, she walked right into someone. Her nerves began to tense again and her heart beat faster as she looked up at the stranger and when she went to scream, he covered her mouth. Oh no. This was not happening!
