POV - Costume 3

Makayla is at home getting ready to go out to a costume party, but an intruder has broken into her home and follows her every movement throughout the house keeping himself just out of sight. He watches from around the corner and she gets a glass of water in the kitchen. When she hears his footsteps she explores the home but finds nothing. Convinced she was just hearing things, Makayla takes her glass of water upstairs. She goes into her room and gets ready to put her costume on. The intruder sneaks back downstairs and grabs a crowbar to aid in his attack. He creeps up the stairs and peers into Makayla’s room. Now she is wearing a cheerleader outfit, jersey and skirt with her hair in pigtails.

The Intruder watches Makayla put on her finishing touches to the outfit, then he barges into the room and attacks. Swinging the crowbar at her, Makayla is quick with her reflexes and manages to duck under each swing. She tries to run out of the room, but the attacker grabs on to her hair and drags her back into the room. They struggle, then Makayla is pinned against the wall with the crowbar pushed against her throat crushing her windpipe. The terrified young woman tries to grab at the crowbar with her hands, pushing against with all her strength and pushing against her attacker. The man holds on tight to the crowbar, struggling with her. After some time she manages to use her knee, catching the attacker off-guard. He falls back, dropping the crowbar while Makayla holds on to the weapon. She swings wildly towards the intruder, but he keeps his distance until he can find an opening. At the next swing, he catches the weapon mid-air then forces it out of Makayla’s hands. He uses the crowbar to cripple his victim, smashing it against her kneecaps and bringing her to the floor. Makayla falls in a heap, then the attacker swings the crowbar a couple more time striking her in the belly and head while she is on the ground.

As Makayla lays there in a daze, the intruder straddles over her and runs his hands across her face. As she slowly starts to regain her senses, the attacker wraps both hands tight around her neck choking her. Makayla coughs and sputters, hitting back at the attacker and pushing away at him. Grasping at the hands crushing her throat, slapping at her attacker with no results. He stays hovering over his victim as he squeezes her neck with both hands as hard as he can. Makayla gasps and groans under the pressure, unable to catch a breath. After much struggling, the attacker strikes her again in the face, leaving her in a daze. He takes this opportunity to grab her pigtails between each hand then cross them over her neck and pulls them tight, strangling Makayla with her own hair. She coughs with her tongue sticking out, eyes rolling wildly as the hair is pulled taught around her throat. The killer hangs on, pulling relentlessly and leaving Makayla breathless. After much struggle, her eyes become unfocused and her arms fall to the ground and Makayla goes limp from the intruders attack. Her body spasms a few times while the killer holds on, ensuring his victim is deceased. His gloves hands roam around her face and hair, then move down her legs and examine her bare feet. To make sure she does not come back, the killer snaps her neck twisting it hard to one side with a series of cracking sounds. He picks his victim up and carries her to the bed, dropping her on top of the sheets. He gives some final looks at her up close on the bed, then he picks up the crowbar and shuts the door to the room.
