A New Start to a New Start
(Picture of the Addison Apartments above)
Sally's pov (Dream)
"What have you done?" Dad spat making me flinch away from him. My hands shaking as the grip I had on the handle of the knife tightened. "You killed her, Sally, this is your fault! You killed her!"
"I-I didn't mean to, Dad, it's not my fault!" I cried, stepping back as he moved forward. A glimpse of my mask hanging above us made me freeze as I brought a bloody hand to my face and gasped.
"You're a monster, look at yourself, Sally Face."
A mirror appeared in front of us now, my heart beating faster and faster until I felt like it would be ripped from my chest. My reflection coming into view as tears welled up in my eyes. The knife dropping, clattering to the ground as I fell to my knees, the grip Dad had in my blue hair kept me from looking away.
"Take a good, long look, Sally Face, they're right. You're a freak, an accident." Dad spat before he moved away and into the shadows.
"D-Dad, wait!" I called, struggling to my feet as I looked around in the dark blindly. "Come back! Don't l-leave me!" I cried, voices echoing around me as I ran in a random direction.
"Sally Face, Sally Face, Sally Face!" The voices chanted and sneered ntil it was so overwhelming I felt my ears ringing with their laughter and chants.
I needed to find a way out. I need to go home. I need to be free. There's no way out, there's no hope is there? Please make it stop, please, I need it to stop.

(Awake)
I woke up with a start, reaching out blindly for the blankets I seemed to have kicked off while having the nightmare. My heart racing in my chest as I gasped for air, pulling the blankets around me finally in my desperate search for security. I gripped them tightly, crying into the soft fabric as I curled up and tried to calm down. Gizmo pressed up against my side, purring loudly. My hand found it's way to run through his soft fur.
"'M s-sorry for w-waking you up, Gizmo." I sniffled after awhile of silence. I felt my heart still beating a little too fast but it was better than sobbing.
Gizmo purred and pressed against me more making me smile at this and sigh. Looking over at the clock I saw that it was still pretty early in the morning. I was too shaken up to go back to sleep so I sat up and turned my lamp on, pulling Gizmo onto my lap as I petted him. My mind and chest felt a little better now that the light was on, illuminating the boxes scattered around my room.
"Today's the day, Gizmo, this isn't our home anymore." I said, Gizmo purred and pressed his head into my palm. "I wonder what the new place is like... maybe you can have your own room finally." I giggled at this and he meowed.
I got out of bed, taking my mask and container with my glass eye in it to the bathroom with me. Avoiding the mirror at all costs as I got into the shower. The warm sprays made me relax as I washed my hair and body, feeling a little sad that this would be the last time I'll take a shower in this house. Last night was the last time I'll sleep in my room. Last time I'll brush my teeth in the sink and not look in the mirror the whole time. Last time I'll have a nightmare here...
I got out of the shower, drying off my body and blue hair. Getting ready didn't take long, brushing my teeth and hair, putting my hair into pigtails, putting my glass eye in, putting my mask on, and got dressed in my red ripped jeans and black sweater. By the time that I was ready I could hear Dad getting into the shower in his room.
Gizmo meowed loudly as I packed all of my blankets into a box and moved all of the boxes over to door. Dad got donuts the other day for this morning because there was no food in the house. My heart squeezing painful in my chest as I walked into the kitchen and sighed. I didn't want to move but Dad got a new job and this house had some bad memories...
I averted my eyes away from the guest bedroom and grabbed a donut. Sitting at the breakfast counter I unstrapped the bottom straps and pushed my mask up to eat. Chewing slowly as I got lost in thought. I would really miss this place. I spent a lot of time here being homeschooled and all... I never lived anywhere else but here. Dad said the new place would be an apartment building so it would be harder for me to go outside without being seen. We had a fenced in backyard here. I went outside sometimes and watched the clouds go by. At the apartments he said there was some outdoor space I could explore but people could see me if I went out there.
"Good morning, Sal, sleep well?" Dad asked, coming into the kitchen and grabbed himself a donut.
"Good morning... I slept okay, you?" I asked, finishing up my breakfast.
"Good, the movers will be here soon with the van. Make sure Gizmo is in the car before they get here." Dad said and began getting some boxes labels last minute. I nodded, strapping my mask on fully before going back to my bedroom to get Gizmo who was sitting on my bare mattress.
"Let's go wait in the car, Gizmo, we're leaving." I said, picking Gizmo up who purred as I held him to my chest, looking around my room one last time before leaving, going out to the car to wait.

It took awhile to get to the Addison Apartments. The sky was gloomy and the building looked pretty daunting. The movers took awhile getting everything up to our apartment and Dad was stressed out about having them not break anything. I was bored and felt cramped up from sitting for so long.
"They're done, it seems that everyone is at work, I'll have to introduce myself to them tomorrow." Dad said, grabbing our suitcases from the back of the car. I nodded and got out, carrying Gizmo as I followed Dad from the car and up to the building. It looked more creepy the closer I got and Gizmo seemed to sense my anxiety and nuzzled his head against me.
The lobby of the place wasn't anything special, just some mailboxes with the room numbers on them, some doors, and an elevator. We took the elevator up to the fourth floor and stopped outside of room 402. We didn't see or hear anyone the whole time and once we were in the apartment I relaxed and set Gizmo down who went exploring and I followed close behind.
"It's not much but it's our new start... I'll order us a pizza." Dad said as he began unpacking things. "All your stuff should be in your room." Dad pointed to a door without looking up.
I went to the room he pointed to and saw all my boxes and things in there. Gizmo came trotting in after me, hopping onto a box as he looks around more.
"Our new start... what do you think, Giz? Do you like it so far?" I asked, scratching behind his ear. Gizmo meowed as I began unpacking my things. "It's going to take a while for me to get used to it but... it's something I guess."
