“1, 2…” The seeker counted.

Everyone ran to hide.

Mary hid in the closet.

John hid behind the door.

And Ellie hid under the bed.

“14, 15-“ the seeker stops counting.

Everyone heard a muffled scream.

“If your found, your next,” said a low voice.

Everyone held their breath.

_It’s ok. It’s just a joke_. Mary thought.

Then she heard someone enter the room she was in.

The closet door flung open and a man but a white cloth over her face.

Everyone heard a muffled scream.

_I need to call the police._ John pulled out his phone and dialed 911.

He forgot to turn his volume down.

A loud ring ran through the house.

He heard foot steps and then the man enter the room he was in.

John was grabbed by the man and a white cloth was put over his face.

Everyone heard a muffled scream.

_Please don’t let him find me. _Ellie prayed.

Her prayers weren’t answered.

The man walked into the room she was in.

She heard her breath.

The man walked to the back wall where the bathroom was.

She thought she was safe.

The man pulled her legs and put a white cloth over her face.

Everyone heard a muffled scream.
