Its 2 weeks before the Halloween party everyone awaits for. Everybody, from all ages, loves to disguises themselves as monsters. While children goes Trick or treating door to door. 2 weeks before everything turns into a nightmare.
Its night, and the streets are empty. Not a car seen at the horizons. The barks of dogs echoed in the small city by the wind. As the cold wind blew stronger against the trees, the brown leaves ready to fall, flying slowly before landing soflty on the floor. And by eachs step she took, the sound of leaves crushing under her feet relaxed her with a satisfying sound.
Walking past the Park, the squeaking of the swing resonated in the surroundings. As she watches it swing on its own, a cool air spook the back of her hair. Creepy, she thought. But it could just be the wind.
Continuing to walk slowly, at the normal pace she always walk at. The female listen to the quiet night, no cars, no people. No...noise. Just peace, except the sound of the crushing leaves.
She sigh and the hotness of her breath touching the cold transformed it to steam. The girl placed her cold hands in her pockets and ventured deeper in the empty streets.
The faint noise of a husband and a wife arguing over a burnt steak was heard behind the closed curtains. It somehow made her laugh, and a quiet chuckles left her red lips. She re-adjust her hat on her head, protecting her already red ears from the cold.
Her nose and cheeks were slightly pink, but she didn't mind. She look up above to the sky, and the Moon appear. Its a half-moon. It look like a croissant, brings water to her mouth. She suddenly felt hungry for French croissants. She felt hungry for anything.
The little pebbles crushed under her feet as they push against each other as she made her way through to the door. She open the door and took her hat and coat off, not forgetting her shoes. The hallway's light was on and the kitchen seemed to be well lit as well. But she didn't remember seeing her parents car. Everything was lit, but no one was here.
She placed her hands behind her back and slowly walk around her house trying to found her family. Not in the study; Not in the garage; nor in their bedroom; not in the fire place; not in the lounge; not in the dinning room; not in the Book room and not it the kitchen. The water boils, as the water whistles through the gaps. She quickly lift it up, as the bubbles stop a little but not totally. Reducing the heat, the bubbles quickly decreases as we were now able to see what was in the sauce pan.
She mix the sauce again and empty the casserole of pasta, rinse them and got them ready in a plate, made several plates, and covered them, then placed them somewhere warm to keep them warm, since she supposed that her parents had to go in a hurry and left everything on knowing she would be home sooner than normal. She went to the dinning room and ate her bologna pastas. The girl check her phone and white blogs appear on her notification bars. To many at once.

She sigh. "So they all ditch me" She mumbled and replied to them quickly. She ate half her plate and go to the sofa. She Took the TV remote and press the red button, as the screen turns from a black screen to a light up black Screen before it starts from the menu. She click another button on the remote. Red and White it was. The "Netflix" opening sound startled her as it was very loud. She choose her account and spend 5 minutes choosing a film, or an interesting series. The young female sigh, nothing was really on. She decided to go with the hot topic. The top 10 of Uk's best Netflix films: Eli.
It was about a boy "allergic" to the World, and had to attend some special treatment. But later founds out that he is the son of Satan. Even thought it had Startle her a lot, she found it a strange movie and didn't really thought it would end like that.
She sigh, bored and went through Netflix one more time as a noise grumbled nearby. It does once... twice.. and then a third time. She felt hungry again. Remembering what her Mum said she decided to pick the money, but on a second thought, she put it back down. There was still pasta left that her family wouldn't probably eat. So she went to serve herself another plate, filling the half eaten one from before.
She heated up and start to hum a song and then, started to sing. It was happy yet sad, a confusing song. She only liked it because it was confusing.
DING!
The microwaves stop and she took her plate out, giving a good mix and adding some cheese. No, lots of cheese. Carefully, she walk to the lounge room where she placed the hot plate near her. Sitting comfortably, she turned the episode on and grabbed her plate.
And immediately, she was swallowed by the movie...
