POV - Student 4

Maddy sits cross legged on her couch writing into a notebook balanced on her leg and a hardcover textbook opened next to her. She looks back and forth from the textbook and taking notes. She is getting bored with studying and shifts her position to lay on her stomach while continuing to take notes. Then she closes the textbook and decides to take a nap to procrastinate. An Intruder emerges from behind the door leading to the basement. He peaks out from behind the door and sees Maddy resting with her back turned. The Intruder slowly creeps out from his hiding place and approaches the napping student. He gets close and grabs her textbook from underneath her arm. Maddy wakes up startled and looks up only to feel the hardcover book smashed down over her head knocking her out cold.

The Intruder tosses the book to the side and takes out a length of cord which he unwinds in his hands. He grabs Maddy’s hands and places them behind her back. He uses the cord to bind her hands behind her back tightly, tying them off at the wrist. He flips Maddy’s body over as she starts to wake up. He runs his hands along the side of her face as she looks at him in terror. His hands wraps around her neck and squeeze tightly, Maddy is pushed into the couch while she kicks her legs frantically. She gasps for air as the Intruder hangs on tightly. He lets go of Maddy’s neck and lets her catch her breath while he leans in and records every moment of her fear.

He gets on top of the couch and pins Maddy down with his weight. Her wrists tied behind her back remain stuck in place while she kicks her legs against the couch trying to get free. The Intruder takes repeated breaks in between squeezing hard in order to prolong the terror. Maddy looks at him with wide eyed fear, pleading and coughing while catching her breath. The Intruder begins the attack again, hanging on tightly to her neck and pinning her down on the couch. After multiple rounds, Maddy’s fight fades away and she passes out under his hands. He moves her head around and gazes closely at her, then moves down her legs and touches her feet, lifting them up in their socks and gazing closely. Maddy wakes up while he his grabbing at her feet and she puts all her strength into kicking the Intruder hard and diving off the couch.

The Intruder follows her movements closely, grabbing her just off the couch and wrapping both arms tightly around her putting Maddy into a tight headlock while she is on her knees. The Intruder squeezes tight and holds her close with one hand gripping her chest while the other arm loops around her neck. Maddy struggles hard trying to get leverage, hands still bound behind her and the Intruder following her every movement keeping her in place. She gasps for air as the pressure builds continuously. He pushes herself forward and the Intruder lets her fall flat on the floor while he holds her down with a hand on her back.

The Intruder flips Maddy over on wraps a hand over her mouth to muffle her cries and keep her in place. She kicks her legs against the floor and is unable to make a move against him. The Intruder wraps one hand around Maddy’s throat and squeezes while holding her down with his other hand. She thrashes on the ground, rolling back and forth with hands struggling against the binds. The Intruder maintains his tight grip, then eventually wraps both hands around her neck. Maddy’s tongue sticks out as she gags from the intense pressure. The Intruder lays down on the floor next to her and looks up close as he continues squeezing, wrapping a leg over her to keep Maddy contained until all the fight has left her. She spasms and shakes on the floor before going completely still. After a few long moments the Intruder disengages and looks down on Maddy laying still on the floor. He examines her close, then lifts her up and drags her back on top of the couch. He moves her position a couple times, taking her socks off in the process. While on the couch he balances her head in his lap then he coldly snaps her neck causing tremors to run through her body. He stands up to give some final looks and removes the cord from her wrists. Then he makes his escape, leaving Maddy’s body laid out on the couch.
