The Home Invader 4

Anna sits at an outdoor patio for her date to arrive, waiting there for a long time before she finally gets a text from him that he won’t be able to meet up after all. After waiting impatiently, Anna is angry at the disrespect of her date who decided to ghost her. She gathers her things and heads home, believing her evening to be ruined.

Meanwhile inside her home, an intruder dressed in all black and a ski mask, enters through the back entrance and sneaks through the kitchen while Anna is away. He silently examines the space and looks closely at a photo of Anna held up on the fridge. He proceeds to the living room, moving stealthily toward the bedroom upstairs. Once there he begins to rifle through the drawers, collecting valuables from her jewelry box and stuffing them into his bag. Anna arrives back home earlier than he expected. The intruder hides when he hears the front door open.

Anna arrives home in a huff, her anger from the failed date still simmering. She tries to call her friend Laura but the call goes to voicemail. Anna heads to the kitchen and opens the fridge, stress-eating some grapes. She hears a noise from upstairs, but before she can check it out the phone rings and grabs her attention. Anna rushes to the phone and picks it up, answering Laura’s call back. Anna vents her frustrations to her friend, annoyed at being ghosted and disrespected by this guy she was going to meet for a first date. Laura tries to give words of reassurance over the phone but Anna is still too pissed to hear her out. After their conversation Anna hangs up and heads to her bedroom to unwind.

Anna lays down on the bed for a moment before noticing something feels off in her room. Her attention roams to her jewelry box which is out of place. Suspicion begins to creep in and Anna approaches the box to see if anything is missing. She realizes some of her jewelry is gone and begins to freak out. The intruder takes this moment to sneak out from his hiding place and creep up behind Anna. Before she can react, he lunges forward and covers her mouth with his gloved hand, holding he close.

Anna struggles fiercely, trying to scream and pull away but the intruder overpowers her. They struggle back and forth upright while Anna tries to pull away but the intruder holds on to her tightly. Anna manages to break away briefly but the intruder catches her again, pushing her into the wall and sucker punching her in the stomach. Anna collapses to the floor and the intruder follows her down, beating her repeatedly on the face until she is knocked out on the floor. He takes a moment to regain his breath then picks up Anna from the floor and drags her up onto the bed. The man runs his hands along Anna’s unconscious form, lifting up each hand to loot the rings, bracelets, and jewelry she is wearing. He flips her body over and ties her hands behind her back before moving down her legs. He takes off her heeled shoes one at a time and steals the ankle bracelet from one bare foot. He ties her feet together and leaves Anna on the bed while he turns around to steal more items from the dresser.

As the intruder continues to loot the room, Anna slowly regains consciousness. The reality of the situation dawns on her and she is overcome with fear. She works her hands and her feet against the bindings that hold her down, pleading for her life and begging the intruder to take what he wants and leave her unharmed. Instead the invader slaps Anna across the face and holds her close while dismissing her pleas, commenting on how if she had just been gone for a bit longer she would not be in this predicament right now. While the intruder touches Anna’s face she works hard at the bindings, managing to break her hands free from the cord.

Anna pushes the invader off of her and jumps off the bed to try and escape, but she can only hop with her feet still tied together. The Intruder catches her by her red hair and pulls her close to him. He pushes her against the wall and squeezes her throat tightly with both hands. Anna gasps and gags while the invader chokes her against the wall. She fights against his grip but that just makes him hold on all the tighter. The invader uses his superior strength to strangle her against the wall, then drag her back onto the bed and push her onto it. He continues to attack her with both hands around her throat while she can do little to resist. Anna’s eyes roll back and her tongue sticks out from the intense pressure of both hands crushing her neck

The invader grabs on to the length of cord she slipped her hands out of and wraps it around her neck, moving his body fully on the bed to sit on top of her and prevent her from struggling away. The attacker keeps the cord tight around her neck, watching with sadistic pleasure as she struggle with all her strength. After much struggling the intruder moves to the side and keeps holding on tight to the garrote while Anna’s face gets bright red from all the pressure. Her movements become erratic, her strength fading as the life drains from her body. The intruder coaxes her to just go to sleep and let it happen, tightening his grip as much as he can to ensure she does not have a chance to fight back. As Anna fades away the drool and saliva caught in her throat comes spewing up in a foamy substance. She chokes on her own spit, coughing it up onto her face and dress. The Intruder smiles and holds tightly as his victim finally expires under him.

Even after she dies the Intruder continues his assault, lifting up Anna’s limp body and snapping her neck to ensure she is well and truly dead. He takes a moment to savor his victory, examining the limp body up close, neck snapped and face covered in drool still seeping from her mouth. He runs his hand along her lifeless body, examining her face and limbs with eerie calm. He stands up and returns to searching the room, finding a wad of cash in a drawer and thanking Anna for the productive robbery. He pauses one last time to bid farewell to Anna’s corpse, casually thanking her for the valuables. He leaves the body splayed out in the bed and exits the room closing the door behind him.
