The Choker

Home alone...again

"Rosemary! Come downstairs, we are leaving!".
"Coming Mom.".
I have an okay life. It is not to bad and not to good, but that sure changed when my family left me home alone for a month. My sister and brother were going to Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. Parents were going on a vacation. And I am a sixteen year old girl who can take care of herself, according to my parents, for a month. They left literally as soon as I got downstairs. In the middle of the night my family left, so I fell asleep. When I woke up I was having trouble breathing. I go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. A red and black choker was on my neck. It was tied onto my neck. "How did anyone put this on!". Just as I yelled, I heard someone trying to run to the front door. Running down the hall, trying to catch the person,the person got out but left something on the floor. A piece of paper. I unfolded the paper and it said "It will be worse next time.".
"What the hell do you mean by next time you creep!".
The words were out of my mouth before I could stop them. That was the equivilent of pouring water on BEN Drowned. The person was half-way down the front lawn when he heard me yell. He walked back up the lawn and through the front door. He was about the same height as me (I am very tall) so he just leaned next to my ear and whispered, "Don't snitch. If you snitch I will kill your family and your friends.".
"W-what?".
"Just hush. If you keep this all a secret, we could even be friends.".
The boy ran back down the lawn and down the street. I only noticed his sweater when he turned the corner. It was brown, with sideways stripes of dark brown and light brown. It also had a navy blue hood. I murmured to myself, "The same as Ticci Toby's sweater. But that isn't real.".
If only I could have seen the chaos the future held.
