A car, arriving in front of the house. The front gate opening for the car to come inside as it drives off. Closing as the car arrives near the house. Getting out of the car, Jen, as she closes the door shut. Locking it with her car key.

Approaching the front door. Twisting it on the right side, removing the lock and allowing the door to open. Now inside, she closes the door. Not locking it as she rushes upstairs.

Making it upstairs, goes to the cupboards. Revealing two luggages and a bag. Jen could only grab a small number of items but that would have to do for her. Can't get everything.
Her room first. Grabbing a few of her clothes from the closet. Jeans, tights, shoes left in her room, puts it in her luggage. The other luggage goes to Danny. Her notebooks, books from the university library, onto her bag. Gaining all the equipment next to her, an object, almost dropped on the floor. Picking it up. A photo. Looking at it.

Her family. Mom and dad, alongside Danny and herself, when Danny was still a baby. Don't think Danny was able to see this. Places it inside her bag.

Her luggage, now full with everything that is needed for now, leaves her room, approaching Danny's room. Inside, his room, all cleaned and organized. Danny never leaves his room to look like that. Surprising Jen, possibly thinking Danny left it like that on purpose. Opening his luggage, packing and placing stuff inside it. Ones only he would want. His airpods, placing it on her bag. The packing for Danny isn't much, there wasn't a lot of things he needed from his room. Just a few things left needed...

Creeking noises, heard inside the room. Attracting her attention. Looking around the room, trying to find where the noise is coming from. Only for the noises to continue. The noise, coming from the closet door.

Curious, she approaches it but with caution. Opening the closet door to reveal nothing. Nothing put the remaining clothes inside.

Probably nothing she thinks. She's about to close it. Till she hears a thudding noise. Looking slowly in front of her, it's nothing but a wall. The noises continue, coming more closer to her. Looking a bit on the left, Noticing a switch on it. Seeing it, presses the switch. Pushing it.
Something opens in front of her as the wall in front of her is no more. As it moves forward till it splits in half. Revealing another room in front of her.

Shocking and surprising her as she goes inside. It's all dark there as she approaches. Seeing a light switch for this room, she opens it. Only for its secret door to close on itself. Seeing this, she runs but it's too late now. Banging on it, knowing it may not open again, unsure how to open it again. There's light in the room. She can see everything around it.

Finding the stairs in the room. They're wooded but not weak. Still stable with her foot touching one step. Walking slowly, she approaches more into the room. As she makes it inside...
It's some kind of workshop. Filled with toys, items and everything. Looking around, she notices an earring. Going to it, looking closely at it, it belongs to her. Fear flowing through her chest, other items, one belonging to Danny. Touching it, she drops them, leaning into a truth she doesn't want to think about. There was never an intruder, someone was living inside this house.

Wandering around, looking closely at objects, belong to herself and Danny. Including a hammer, a hammer with blood stains onto it. On her right side, more items and objects. Looking close, it's not hers or Danny's. It belongs to someone else's. Possibly, those things belong to the teenagers or the children. The one who have disappeared and never came back. One that really attracted Jen's attention. A cute, small dog plushie. Looking around it, has the name, 'Doggie'. Filled with blood all around it.

"Pretty cute huh." Just a simple whisper from someone behind her as a hand with a cloth, holding her mouth. She struggles to fight it back until she can no longer stay awake. As her vision becomes blurred before turning into nothing but black.

The dark figured person, looking at Jen's lifeless body. Staring fixated on her. "I was expecting your brother." Unhooding himself and removing his mask. Revealing Tom.
