Chapter 4.

Michael's point of view.

After what felt like an hour I knew this was my time to go back home. I opened the door and shut it behind me leaving the body behind. I make my way down the hallway and open other patients doors. They were looking at me in confusion but followed me after I made my way towards the door. I opened the door but saw none of the guards or nurses outside. It was raining and cold, but I didn't mind. The other patients were walking around the yard behind me as I made my way to the gate. I just had to wait for a car. After waiting for a while I finally heard a car engine coming this way. I got out through the gate and hid in a ditch. The car stopped before the gate and I saw Dr. Loomis get out of the car and hurry to the gate. This was my chance and I could piss that old man off by taking the car. I run up to the car and jump on it. After scaring the nurse out of the car and breaking one of the windows, I hope in the drivers seat and start driving off. The voices told me what to do and it became easy to drive after a while.

As I was driving through the highway, I was thinking what I should do. I couldn't run around with the hospital outfit I was in, when I saw a red pickup truck parked next to the road. Perfect! I pull over and get out of the car. The driver of the other car was smoking a cigarette, facing the other way. I walk behind and slam his head on the car's hood. He yelps and tries to wiggle away but I slam his head repeatedly. He started to whimper and I snapped his neck. I quickly remove his blue overalls and his black shirt and then change my clothes. I lifted the body and tossed it in some long grass behind some bushes. I walk back to the car and take my seat. I looked at myself in the rear-view mirror. I looked... different. When was the last time I looked into a mirror? In the hospital I never saw one. My new face looked too weird to me. I needed to cover it somehow. I didn't want to look at the stranger I saw in the mirror. I needed to find a mask quickly so I could hide away. They always comforted me when no one else knew who I was. I turned the mirror away from my face so I couldn't see myself any more.

When I finally reached the city I saw that some things had changed. There were some new stores and I was a little taken back. I look at the stores and see a hardware store. There was some Halloween masks in the window but only the on on the left caught my attention. It had a pale face and dark hair. I wanted it. No, I needed it. I looked around and saw there were knives further into the shop. I looked around but no one was out this early. I smash the window and got inside. I take one of those masks and a couple of knives and rope with me. I made my way to the care, getting inside quickly. I put the mask on and instantly feel better. Now it was time to go home. Driving through a familiar neighbourhood brought back some of my memories. Mostly bad or neutral but some were amazing because of Jessica. I pull over down the road and made my way back to my home. When I saw the house, it looked to be abandoned. I knew that my parents were dead but I was expecting that someone had moved into the house but this was a good thing. I break back into my home and instantly felt better. There was dust everywhere and a stale smell filled my lungs. I look through the house but no one seemed to be here. I looked outside from the front window towards Jessica's old house but I didn't recognize the car. Maybe they brought a new car? I went to my old room to see that all of my old things were gone or broken. There were only some shelves and dust in the room. I lay down in the corner of the room to rest a little more. The voices were whispering again and I didn't hear anyone in the house. After waiting all this time to home home, I was finally able to rest for a moment. When I got in more comfortable position and closed my eyes. Once I had rested for a while I could finally do the things the voices told me to do.

After sleeping for some time, I woke up when the voices were telling me to wake up. I got up quickly and looked outside from the dirty window. It was morning already. I started to walk downstairs and saw that two figures were at the edge of my front lawn. It was a teen girl and a young boy. The teen gave me a familiar feeling and I was trying to get my finger on it. She started to head towards the front door and I stepped aside to make sure she didn't see me. When she was close enough, the voices were screaming at me.

KILL HER MICHAEL! SHE IS YOUR SISTER

She slid something through the letterbox and then turned back. I looked after her. Was she really my younger sister? I started to feel the rage boil in my veins and the voices were screaming at me, causing me to have a headache. I wanted to kill here then and there but it wasn't a good time. Anyone could see me and interrupt me. After they had left I started to follow her around the town in the car. I had to roll down the broken window so people wouldn't suspect anything. I park next to a school and see my sister in class. She looked at me for a moment but then turned her head back and I decided to leave. I wanted to find the little boy to look at what he was doing. After stalking the little boy for a while I decided to head back hone. I was starting to get hungry and I caught a dog at the park where it was running around. Its owner didn't see anything when I killed his pet and threw it in the backseat. I got up from the car and started to open the back door but someone barged into me and the took hold of my arm. I turn my head to see a young woman leaning into my arm. She had flawless tanned skin and beautiful blue eyes. Her hair was black and she had little make up on. She looked horrified and let go of me. She picked up her purse quickly and turned to look at me. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you there! I was looking for something in my purse!" She almost had tears in her eyes and I recognized her. The voices were silent from her touch even when before she bumped into me they were speaking loudly. She was Jessica! She had to be! I gave her a little nod and she looked a little confused when her eyes scanned the mask. She took a step back and gave me a little smile, which made my heart beat a little faster. "I'm glad you're okay. Well happy Halloween!" She waved before she continued her journey somewhere. She looked over her shoulder to look at me once more, giving me a little wave. I give her a little wave back, making her giggle but then she turned away. She was a beautiful woman now and something in my chest tightened when she looked at me.

GET HER NOW! SHE NEEDS TO BE WITH US!

The voices scream at me but I try to ignore them. I quickly go to the forest line and start to look where she was going. She walked down the road and walked up to the house, opening the front door and she goes inside. This must be her new home. I walk over to one of the windows and see that she was petting a cat's head. So she finally got a cat. She looked to be so happy with the cat and I made a mental note to take the cat with us when we become a family. I look at the time and I should get going to stalk my sister. I walked back to the car and took the dog inside quickly and ate some of it.

I started to think about tonight and what was going to happen. I would finally kill my little sister and get my old friend back and if someone tried to get between us, I was going to make sure that no one could come between us ever again. That would be the final mistake they will ever make.

Jessica's point of view

I had to visit one of our old neighbours because my parents wanted to know how they were doing. After an hour of listening to their stories I had to get back home. When I was walking down the road in a hurry while looking for my keys in my purse but then I smashed into someone. I had to take a hold of their arm to break my fall and I felt so embarrassed. I apologized to him but he had a mask on and I couldn't see hid face to read his expression and he didn't say anything. When I explained myself to him, he only nodded as an answer. Maybe he was shy or staying in his character? I made my way back home and waved at him. His little wave was cute and I giggled at his little gesture.

When I got home Timmy runs up to me, meowing loudly. I lift him up, petting his soft head. "Hey sweetie! How was your day." He purred in my lap and I put him back down. I give him food and he eats slowly enjoying every bite. I sat down on the couch and start to relax a little. I wasn't hungry because I ate some apple pie when I was visiting our old neighbours. I almost fell asleep on the couch until I hear a knock on the door. I shot up and I was hoping it wasn't the weird neighbours I have. I straighten my outfit and go to answer the door. I was surprised that my sister was behind the door. "Sarah! It's good to see you!" I give her a big hug while she giggled and patted my back. "Yeah I know. Can I come in?" she asked, smiling widely. I step aside to let her inside. She looked around while she sets down her bag and the she looked at Timmy. Timmy never really liked my sister and always ignored her. "So what are you doing here?" I asked curiously because she was always too bust to hang out or even call. Sarah was a lawyer, so maybe she had a client here? "Well I ave a case in this state. It just some case to keep someone locked up for the rest of his life." She said, with a little smile on her face. I felt bad for the guy she was against. Everyone deserves another chance. "Are you sure you want to do that? You are not going to give him a chance to prove that he has changed?" Sarah's smile turned into a frown and she shook her head. "Trust me sis. He doesn't deserve anything." she said with venom in her voice. I decided not to push the subject and gave her a little nod. "So where are you going to stay?" She looked at me and then made her way to sit on my couch. "I was going to ask you if I could stay here? It would only be a couple of days." She asked and I started to think as I sat down next to her. Timmy jumped between us and looked at Sarah. He always laid between is as to be a wall that would protect me if something happened. Timmy didn't like my family that much but Sarah was one of the worst in his eyes. I pet his back and he starts to purr. "Sure you can. As long as you don't speak to the family next door. They're crazy. Their kids teased Timmy through my window." I pet Timmy's head and Sarah looks a little surprised. She started to think about my words. "Well if they give you any more trouble just say it to me and I will take care of them. Have you told them about trespassing?" I sigh at her words. "Sarah, please. They were just curious even if they are crazy. And I'm a big girl now. So I don't need your help, thanks." Sarah only nods a little and tried to pet Timmy. Timmy only hissed at her and Sarah quickly pulled her hand back. She sends Timmy and angry glare. "That cat is so mean!" She whined and I send her an evil smile. I lifted Timmy into my arms, giving him all the attention he deserved. After moving here he had become more clingier than before. Timmy licked his lips when I kissed his head. "Timmy is a good boy. He's my little baby." Sarah only shook her head and got up. "This is why I don't have pets. They turn their owners crazy!" She went to her bag and started to dig through it. "Where's your bathroom? I need to take a shower." She said and I got up to go and give her a towel. "It's right down the hall and the last door on the right. I'll get you a towel." I went through one of the closets in the hall. I take one white towel ot and hand it over to her. She makes her way to the bathroom with some clothes and I run upstairs to make the guest room ready for her. I take some sheets to the bedroom and make the bed ready for her. Timmy run behind me and jumped on the bed meowing like crazy. "I know baby but it's only for a couple of days. After that you will be the king of the house again." I pet his head and lift him in my arms giving him a soft hug.

Ten minutes later Sarah come back dress in night wear. Water dripping from her hair onto the floor. "So what are you going to do when the kids start coming here?" She asks and I look at her confused. "Give them candy? What did you expect?" She looked at me for a while and then nodded. "Good. Do you want to watch a movie with me?" She asked when she sat down on the couch. "Sure, if you don't mind me answering the door when I need to give candy to the kids?" Sarah shook her head while she waved her hands around. "No, I don't mind! Have you called mom and dad?" I shook my head as an answer. Why would she ask me something like that? "I will call them tomorrow when I have time. Just choose a movie for us." After a while she chose Friday the 13th. We started to watch the movie but almost every five minutes I had to go and answer the door. All the kids were so cute with their little costumes and I wished that I would be a kid again. So I could go trick-or-treating again. Sarah was patient enough and didn't loose her cool even if we had to pause the movie all the time.

At some point I saw Timmy looking out of my living room window and I was happy that he didn't hide away even after the kids tried to scare him. I hear the doorbell ring again and I quickly get to the door. I sat the kids next door with their father. "TRICK OR TREAT!" The three kids yell at the top of their lungs, making me jump back at the volume. I force a smile on my face and give them some candy. Joel was looking up and down at me again and I was starting to think it wasn't a good idea to wear a knee length black dress with spaghetti straps. "Hey there. How are you?" He suddenly asked and I shifted my gaze at him. "Umm... I'm fine thanks. Just spending time with my sister. How about you?" He smiled and patted his kids heads. "I'm good too. Halloween is always such a busy time." he says with a laugh and I force a giggle out of me. This was getting too awkward for me. The kids yelled their thanks and turned around to attack another homeowner. Joel started to walk away with his kids but then turned around. "Oh my wife wanted to ask more questions about your cat. She told me to ask you how much you would want for him? Our kids won't shut up about it." I look at him in shock but the felt anger boil in me. How dare they? "My cat is not for sale and he never will be! Good night!" I slam the door behind me and sigh in frustration. Sarah looks at me worried. "What happened?" I sit next to her with a huff. "They wanted to know if Timmy was for sale. Like I would sell my baby to them!" I say taking some popcorn from the bowel and start to eat it. Timmy looked at me but them turned back outside. He started to meow at something and claw at the window. That was strange because he never did that before. Did he want outside? But even if he wanted too I was too afraid to let him leave in the fear that the kids would steal him. I shouldn't let him out next morning so I could keep and eye on him.

MICHAEL'S POINT OF VIEW

I came back to Jessica after the voices screamed at me to get back to her to check if she was okay. I watched he give candy to the kids and she was happy until one family came along. I sensed that Jessica was upset after that guy left. I wanted to kill the man but had to wait for a while. I needed to take care of my sister first. I wasn't happy because Jessica wasn't happy. After seeing her sister in the living room I was livid. That woman was going to die after I take care of my sister.

I watched Jessica through the window from the forest line. She seemed to be focused onto something but then I noticed her cat at the window. Its eyes were glued to me and it started to claw at the window. I wanted to pet it because it reminded me of the toy from our childhood. She must love that thing. I never liked dogs but cats were fine with me. I walked closer to the window to take a better look at the cat. It was beautiful. I tilted my head and it was copying my movements with its head. I liked the cat already, so I didn't mind him joining my family.
