You've heard of the recent killings around your area from the news. Your friends at work and in college are very paranoid, some even moved. They didn't quite understand why you weren't worried and anxious about it, yes, maybe it was because you are taking Forensic Psychology, this is all stuff you've learned and experienced before. But still, it didn't make sense to them.

You ended up being fed up why everyone and the talk about "The Painters", specifically "Mona Larius", so you moved to online school. It was very peaceful, you lived alone so you got to enjoy your quiet time all the time. Your classes were much easier, everything was easier.

One day you were finishing up your essay due the next day, it was about midnight and you were sipping a cup of coffee and snuggled in a blanket at your desk. You heard a tap at a window by the front of your small house, then a click of the door. You stopped typing and got up quietly, you grabbed a knife from your drawer and walked quietly to the front of your house. That's when you saw Mona closing the door and looking out the window waiting for her partner. You stared at her and cleared your throat to get her attention.
