    The wind howled outside your isolated home, rattling the windows as Halloween night cloaked the world in shadows. Nestled in the woods, your house felt like a sanctuary from the festivities happening miles away. You had opted for a quiet evening in, settling into a cozy corner of your living room, candles flickering and illuminating the walls as you lost yourself in a horror novel.

    The night had been peaceful until a loud knock jolted you from your reverie. You glanced at the clock—it was well past nine. Curiosity battled with caution as you approached the door, your heart racing. Who would be out here in the woods at this hour?

    You opened the door to find a woman standing before you, drenched in what looked like blood, her clothes torn and hair disheveled. Panic coursed through you as you took a step back. The expression on her face was a twisted visage of horror, the same beatiful face that that had taken off many lifes. A shame you didn’t even knew about the Halloween Killer.

    “Please, help me!” she gasped, voice shaking with feigned desperation. “Someone is after me!”

    Your instinct screamed to slam the door and lock it tight, but something in her eyes—wild yet pleading—made you hesitate. Against your better judgment, you stepped aside, allowing her to enter.

    Once inside, the door closed behind her, sealing off the world outside. She took a moment to catch her breath, glancing around your home as if trying to assess her surroundings. The blood on her clothes glistened under the dim light, and you could see that it was all too real.

    The crux of the matter is that unlike all Wanda's other victims, you were smart, the way you moved and left a knife not far away just as a precaution, but the most interesting thing was that at the same time you were such a sweet creature that it was almost pitiful.

    For a moment she would have gone blank for a few seconds, missing what you would have asked in a careful tone. "S-sorry, what have you said?" Wanda mumbled in a false disoriented tone.
