1 A Bump In The Night

In the small town of Cincinnati, there lived a 19 year old girl named Lizzie. She was a overall average girl; high school athlete,good grades, accepted to college, part time job, and working on her current major. Life was going well for her after just moving into her new apartment and her crush finally said yes to a date this Saturday! Nothing could ruin today.

I sat down on my bed exhausted from unpacking most of my stuff, moving took all freakin day it's already dark out. I look around and smile

"Finally my own place where I can be as lazy as I want when I want without being nagged at. Not to mention cheap rent."I thought as I sat up and noticed something shiny under the dresser, I got up and walked over to the dresser and bent down to see what it was. I gently grabbed it and pulled it out to my surprise it was a silver ring with a beautiful blue sapphire in the middle, on the inside of the band it says. "My lovely"

I stood up and was a bit upset someone had forgotten about their ring, maybe it's land lady's and she forgot it. I walked out to the living room and set the ring on the table and as I set it down I looked up and saw my door was slightly opened.

"Crap! Did I forget to lock it?"I thought as I ran over and clicked the lock in place.

Suddenly I was shoved against the wall knocking the wind out of me, I look and see a man. He was bigger than me, oily black hair,dirt covered hand and torn up close and as my eyes trailed lower I started shaking. There was a huge blade in his hand as he casually twirled it between his fingers as if it was a pencil.

"Well look what I found here a unlocked door with a easy kill waiting for me" he smirked and drew his blade closer and pressed it against my jawbone as it trailed down my neck slowly them down my collar bone. It stopped at the middle of my chest as I tried to think of my ways to escape before anything happens.

"Oh don't worry sweetheart" his voice got deeper as he looked dead into my soul. "I'm only gonna carve you up at first and then I'll start cutting deeper and deeper until you scream your lungs out!" He starts laughing "And then! Before I kill you off I'll make you my greatest master piece EVER. LETS START CARVING!" He yells and plunges his blade into my upper thigh.

I scream bloody murder and quickly punch him square in the fight knocking him away but keeping the blade deep in my thigh as blood slowly trickles down. "I'm not dying, not here and not today!" I yell and limp towards the kitchen looking for a weapon when I feel his hand grab my wrist *CRACK* he breaks my wrist in one full movement. I scream and try to pull away as tears flow down my cheeks and my vision blurs. Is this the end? I just started life and I'm going to die because I forgot to lock my door.

"Get your filthy hands off my lovely wife" a cool voice called out, I turn my head to the voice but can barely see him through the tears.

"W-what who's there?!" The killer looked around frantically and pulls the bloody blade from my thigh and slashes at the air. "H-hey get off me!!" He yells and suddenly all I hear is a loud crack and it's dead silent.

The blood is pouring out from my thigh with no stopping, my wrist broken, and my vision going black from blood loss I see the figure bend down and gently cup my cheek and softly whisper.

"Don't worry I'm here now....my lovely"
