The Killer

It was early in the morning. Nobody else was awake except for 3 people, A little girl named Emily and her mother, and a guy... Everything seemed fine at first, until... “Mommy mommy wake up” A little girl named Emily called out, while trying to wake up her mother, “Yes, honey?” The mother answered. “Can we please see the new movie today?” Emily asked, excitedly. “Yes, Just let me wake up a little bit more, why don’t you go downstairs and sit at the table so I can get breakfast for you?” her mother said. “Ok,” Emily said, rushing out of the bedroom and down the stairs. Emily’s mother walked out into the hallway and into the bathroom, to wash her face. Emily sat down at the table waiting for her mother to come down. Her mother grabbed the bar of Lavender soap and her red washcloth, and started rubbing them together. Once the washcloth was lathered. She put the bar of soap down, and held the washcloth with both hands and started to scrub her face. Once she was down scrubbing every inch of her face, she put the washcloth down and turned on the water to Lukewarm, and cupped her hands so she could hold water in them, she put her hands under the running water until her hands were halfway filled with water, and splashed the water onto her face. She got all the soap off her face, and then turned off the water. She dried her face and walked out of the bathroom. She walked downstairs, to see her daughter calmly sitting down and waiting at the table for breakfast. “Oh, my!” she said, “I forgot all about breakfast!” she claimed, rushing into the kitchen. She walked towards the pantry door and opened it.

“What do you want to eat?” She asked. “Can we have Fruity Pebbles today?” Emily asked.

“Of course, but are you sure you want this cereal instead of lucky charms?” Her mother asked, while grabbing the box of Fruity Pebbles from the top shelf in the pantry. “Yes, I’m sure!” Emily said, excitedly.

“Ok then…” Her mother said. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. “Hm...who could that be?” Her mother questioned, while pouring the cereal into the bowl. “I’ll get it!” Emily Said, “No, I’ll get it you sit down and eat.” Her mother said, while walking over to the fridge to get the jug of milk. she poured the milk into the bowl then put it away. Her mother grabbed the bowl of cereal and a spoon on the table. Her mother walked over to the door to answer it, but before she even got a chance to reach the handle, whoever was at the door started to bang on the door.

"who is it?” Emily's mother shrieked. “PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR!!!” The person said. Emily’s mother quickly opened the door, thinking whoever was at the door was hurt. “Hi, My name is James…” The man said panting. “Hi, Do you need something? Are you hurt?” Emily’s mother asked.

“No, Ma’am, there’s a killer in town.” The man said, trying to calm down. “Well, come in, we must hide!” Emily’s mother said, pulling James into the house.

“Oh, you have a daughter?” James asked. “Yes, Her name is Emily, why?” Emily’s mother questioned.

“She’s Beautiful!” The man said. “Thank you!” said Emily’s mother. “Yes, thank you!” said Emily. “Let's go down into the basement and see if the Secret door is still there, if it is we can hide in there.” Emily's mother said. “The b-basement?” James said, shaking in fear. “Yes, why? Is there a problem with my basement?” Emily’s mother questioned, “No, I just don’t like basements.” James said.

“Oh, well, you're not alone, My daughter doesn’t like basements either” Said Emily’s mother. “Emily, come on, we have to go now.”

“Yes mother” Said Emily, not knowing what's going on. Once Emily got to where her mother and James were standing, She took a deep breath and said, “Is there a bad person in town?” “Yes, sweetie. Now follow me to the basement,” Emily's mother said while Emily walked between her, and James. “Where are we going?” Emily asked. “That room in the basement.” Emily’s mother said, while walking down the stairs, grabbing the lantern off from the shelf. They continued to walk down the stairs to the basement. Suddenly there was a loud bang. Emily disappeared, Emily's mother looked back and saw that Emily was gone. She looked at James and asked "Where's my daughter?!" Emily mother asked thinking that James did something to her there was another loud bang. James disappeared too.

Suddenly, everything was quiet again. No more banging.

"No, This can't be happening..." Emily's mother said, looking into the mirror that was tilted on the wall. She continued walking, Suddenly she heard a voice, It sounded like her daughter. But it definitely was not.

She walked towards the hidden door in the basement and opened the door. there she found the killer. "Please, don't-" She said, but she didn't live long enough to finish her sentence. Nobody knows what happened to Emily and James, But everyone knew, that they were gone.

Emily's mother, was later found dead by her best friend Luan . There was a funeral for her 42 days after her death. "A beloved friend and a mother".
