It was late at night, and I was in my sloppily made bed when I heard a crash from downstairs. I jumped out of bed and grabbed my watch from off the box that had my bedside table in it.

1:35 A.M.

I groaned in annoyance and grabbed my phone, and a metal bat I got for a Harley Quinn Cosplay. I dialed 911, (That's the emergency number in America) and blew a strand of my (h/c) hair out of my face.

"911, what's your emergency?" The 911 operator asked

"My name is (f/n) {First name} (l/n) {Last name}, I live at 125 Acachalla drive, and I think someone broke into my house to steal something" I said. The operator became silent.

"Hello?" I asked. A dial tone responded. Great, 911 doesn't know what to do. I'm done for.

I gripped my bat and slowly crept down the stairs,

"Man, look at all of this! After this, we'll never have to steal again!" I heard a deep male voice say.

"Maybe not you, but I enjoy it stealing," another replied. I snuck up behind the first one, and waited for him to give me further reason to hit him.

"Whoa! Look at this necklace!" He said, holding my grandmothers diamond necklace. I smacked him with the bat, and his head made a cringe worthy cracking noise when the bat collided with his head. He fell to the ground with a thud, and his friend turned a gun towards me. I shut my eyes and waited for him to shoot, holding my hands and bat in front of my face. When he shot however, nothing happened.

"Huh!?" I uttered startled. I looked down to see him on the floor, holding his leg. He groaned in pain, and passed out, I think. I looked at the side of the bat, and saw a black mark on it from the bullet ricocheting off of it.

"Oh, God," I mumble to myself. I was afraid the guy I hit with the bat is dead, so I went to check his pulse and thank God, there was one. I pulled out my phone again, hands shaking, sloppily putting the numbers back into the phone.

"911, what's your emergency?" The same operator from before asked.

"It's me again!" I yelled into the phone "Surprised I'm not dead?! SO AM I! I JUST ALMOST DIED, AND IF YOU DON'T GET SOMEONE DOWN HERE TO HELP ME OUT, I AM GOING TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE CITY COUNSIL TO GET YOUR BUTT BOOTED FROM YOUR JOB IN SHAME! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!?" The operator was silent again.

"WELL!?" I yelled again.

"I'm sending someone down to talk to you, in the meantime, please calm down." She said cautiously.

"Good!" I said ready to burst into tears. Someone did come by, and he put me in the back of his police car.

"You're not under arrest, but I do have to take you down to the station to answer some questions," He said calmly, and reassuringly.

"Okay," I replied distantly. I couldn't think straight, I just had a near death experience.

"This is officer Maloney, I need an ambulance sent to 125 Acachalla Drive, and yes, everyone is alive this time, so don't bring just body bags." I overheard him say. I guess Little Butts has big problems, huh? I should've known. Why did I come here anyway? I knew this was a bad place, but the people were so nice.

After the ambulance arrived and picked up the robbers from my house, Officer Maloney started the engine, and started driving towards the station.

"So you're the one that just moved in, huh?" He asked.

"Yeah," I replied.

"Man, that sucks, you shouldn't have been targeted like that just because you were moving in. We really need a bigger police force to prevent more crap like this from happening," He said bitterly. I understood how he felt. Suddenly, he slammed on the brakes, and pulled out his gun.

"Stay here, and no matter what, don't move, and don't make any noise, understand?" He asked somewhat frantically.

"Okay," I said half terrified, half confused. He got out of the car and locked the doors behind him. I tried to watch where he was going, and what he was doing, but he went around a corner into a darkened ally. Something was off about it though, the wall, its brick pattern was irregular, like something was spattered on it. I tried to look closer when suddenly; a bloody face appeared at the window I was looking out. I jumped back and covered my mouth to prevent myself from screaming.

{DUN, DUN, DDDUUUUNNNN! I hope you all enjoyed the chapter; I know I enjoyed writing it. Have fun with the cliffhanger! XD}
