I took off my Halloween costume, washed the paint off my face, put on my pajamas,
brushed my teeth, and went to bed. I was almost asleep when I first heard the sound, I
heard a creak from right outside my door. I silently crept to the door when I heard the
sound again, this time it sounded more distant, as if the something or someone was
going down the hall. I looked around the room trying to find some sort of thing that I
could defend myself somehow with, and I decided to take my hairspray bottle. I mean, its
metal and I could spray it in their eyes. I cracked the door open a sliver and looked out
into the hall, there was nothing out there but then the door to my sisters room opened
and a figure dressed in all black stepped out. I wouldn’t have noticed him if he didn’t
have those green eyes flecked with gold and silvery white hair that reflected any of the
light in the hall. He had my sister draped across his shoulder, her long brown hair
hanging in wavy locks down his back. “Charlotte!” I called. No answer. The boy turned
to face me. That's when I ran towards him and whacked him on the head with the
hairspray bottle with all of my might. He crumpled to the floor letting go of Charlotte as he
did, I caught her before she hit the ground. I looked down on him, he was spread eagled
on the floor face down, he looked unconscious!! Whoops didn’t mean to do that!! I
thought. I didn’t know a hairspray bottle would knock someone out!
Charlotte still hadn’t woken up yet I took her back to her room and laid her down on her
bed. I went back out into the hall and dragged the boy into my room, surprisingly he
wasn’t that heavy and he looked about my age. After the boy was in my room I ran
downstairs to find something to tie him up with, all I found was my mom’s giant
exercising band. It’ll have to do, I thought as I dashed back up the stairs. The boy
was still lying on the floor exactly where I left him. I half dragged half carried him to
the chair next to my dresser and pushed him onto it. I then wrapped the band around
him three times and waited. It was quite awkward for a while as I was just sitting on
my bed staring at him waiting for him to wake up. Although I couldn’t see his face
because his head had fallen down and his chin was touching his chest. After about
thirty minutes he started moaning and lifted up his head when he opened his eyes he
immediately looked down saw he was tied and looked wildly around the room for
someone, his eyes fell on me and looked away. Breaking the silence I asked

“ Who are you?”
“Nobody.” he replied.
“ No I mean really, what is your name?”
“Jaxon but I go by Jax” he said timidly.
“Okay, Jax why were you trying to steal my sister.”
“I wasn’t” he said.
“Yeah uh-huh totally, then why did you come to my house in the middle of the night and carry my sister like a sack of potatoes.”
“That was your sister?” he asked with a confused look on his face. Who is this kid? I thought.
“Of course she was my sister she lives in my house.”
“ Is your sister’s name Rebecca Bailey?”
“What no, that’s me, my sister is Charlotte Bailey!!”
“ Oh no.” he said slowly. “Oh no.”
“What” I said “What is it.” All of a sudden, Jax had a vial in his hand that came out of nowhere,
it was like he conjured it out of thin air. The vial was small and clear with some kind of
purplish- greenish  liquidy substance in it. He popped the lid off and the stuff came out as gas
and then my vision started blurring and darkness was seeping in. My brain felt foggy, my
head was spinning, I was started to feel woozy, and then darkness took over.
