Cold winter night

Its the middle of winter and many people are homeless and i feel really bad for them. I check my weather, i was negative 25°, the coldest it has been in about 10 years. I had my hear on for a while and my house was now almost 90° so i cut the heat off. Since i was sweating, i went outside but i instantly became really cold. When i walked onto my porch i noticed some thing odd, there were foot prints on my step but i haven't walked on my steps all day. I heard a tin can drop on my back porch so i immediately locked my front door and ran to look out my back door window. There was a mother, father, and a teenager. I walked out side on to my porch and i saw the freezing family. "Are you all okay?" They were shivering and could barely talk, " n- no." I allowed them inside, gave them some blankets and fixed them some hot cocoa. After a few hours, i finally asked them another question, "so, why weren't you all at home?" They looked at me, " our home is two hours away and we could barely walk another foot so we thought you would help or someone and you were kind enough to let us in, thank you." I now felt really bad for them and i left the room for a while so they could have some time to themselves. "Ms!" I came downstairs, "yeah?"   "I think we are going to go to sleep now."   "OK! Goodnight." And i left them to be for the night and went upstairs to my room and shut my door, also locked it. I could hear them whispering a bit but i couldn't understand them. 

*switch point of view to family*

"So mom, whats the plan? How are we gonna take her out?" The mom explained to her teenage son the plan. They were murderers but Mary didn't know. 

*switch to Mary's point of view*

I woke up around nine in the morning which is awkwardly strange for me because i never wake up that early. I went downstairs and the family was already up and watching TV. "Does anyone want anything to eat?" I asked politely even though i really wanted them out of my house. They all shook their head no. I fixed some cereal, orange juice, and a muffin then went up to my room because it was so awkward around this family for some reason. 

I got dressed, did my hair and makeup, then went downstairs. "Well its time to go everyone! I have to go to work." They sat there, not moving. "Hello...? I have to go to work, you all have to leave!" They immediately looked at me with a death stare, " we aren't going anywhere but you are." I got scared, backed up, and grabbed my phone to call the police but the teenage boy ran and snatched it out of my hand. "DUDE! You're freaking crazy! Whats wrong with your crazy family?! I knew i shouldn't have let you all in!" They laughed, "well you did and now you re in trouble." I quickly grabbed a knife and when the teen boy tried to grab it i stabbed him in his heart, " one down, two to go, bring it." The parents sat down looking at me. I dropped the knife and darted upstairs and to the Attic so that they couldn't find me and i locked the door and covered it with book cases and chairs so they couldn't get in. I heard them walking around, "we know you're up here. Just come out, we wont hurt you." I knew that was a lie so i stayed quite and sat in the corner. Why did I let them in?! I knew there was something strange about them considering they went from my front door to my back door. I thought to myself. I heard foot steps to the door and they stopped.There was a knock at my back door. I snuck out of the Attic window, which was a tight spot. I sprinted to the back door to see a mysterious man in all black clothes with a gun! these people must have called someone... He saw me. i ran to my neighbors house and told her what happened. She let me in and let me use her phone. The police showed up after ten minutes and started asking me a lot of questions then investigated the house. The people were found in my attic. A few minutes later, the police walked out with the people in hand cuffs and the teen boy on a stretcher. Apparently they were murderers being searched in Canada and they ended up in my house. They got sent to court and i sewed them and got them sent to jail for trying to kill me and for putting my life in danger. 

When i got home that day, i didn't want to stay home alone so i called a friend over. I fixed dinner and we watched a movie and hung out. About 20 minutes later, i got a very unexpected phone call from a blocked number, "hello?" I could hear breathing on the other line but no one was talking. "Hi?" They replied in a cracked whisper, "I've been watching you... Make sure your friend doesn't leave your side or you're dead! And don't tell her about this call or ill kill you unexpectedly." I immediately hung up the phone, threw it on the floor and started eating pop corn. I didn't dare to look at any doors or windows for the rest of the night and i made my friend pull an all niter. The next morning when i went to my room to get ready, the teenage boy i supposedly 'killed' was lying there on my bed, staring at me. "I told you i was watching and to not leave her side but you did any--" then my friend ran into my room to see me on the floor and the person pointing a knife at me, "whats going on here?!" Angelina, my friend, snapped. The guy darted out of the window but landed flat on the concrete patio. We called the cops and they decided to completely take me away from my home and into a police officers house. The police was named Thomas North and he had a wife, two kids, and a few pets. I slept in the guest room for a few days until they let me do the room the way i wanted to because they didn't think i would be okay to live on my own again. 

One night, a Halloween night, there was tapping on my window while i was taking a shower and i completely ignored it. Around two in the morning, i heard a noise in my closet so i yelled for Mr.North! He looked in the closet and it was just the two cats playing around. "I'm so sorry, I've been so paranoid since all that stuff happened." He smiled, "its not a problem, i totally understand. If anything happens or you need me to check something out again just call for me!" I smiled and nodded my head, then he left. I got on my laptop to check my twitter and YouTube then i noticed something strange, an account on twitter named "ill find you" followed me and their user name had my name in it (@werefindingyoumary). I logged out, slammed my laptop shut, ran downstairs to Mr.North and showed him the twitter account. "Wow...ill get right on this case let me call a few people, you just go to sleep and i will deal with this!" I felt really welcomed in this house. I went to sleep and left the problem in the hands of Mr.North. When i woke up, my laptop was on my night stand and Mr.North was gone! I went to Mrs.North, "where did Mr.north go? Is he okay?" She smiled, "honey, he's fine. They found out where the owner of that twitter account live and hes arresting them. You're completely safe here!" I smiled, "thank you all so much for welcoming me like you have, it means alot!" She smiled. Around four in the afternoon, Mr.north returned. He opened my door, "well, i found the people that made that account. They re in jail now, for life." I smirked, "why is everyone going for me? What did i even do?!" He frowned, "do you want to take them to court and make them spill the answers?" 

"Yes! Because i want this to stop, now!" He nodded and left my room, closing the door behind him. 

My court date was in a month and a half an i was going to finally get all of my answers! I was gonna finally know why these people wanted to kill me. 

A month and a half later 

After a long day of court i was being called up to talk, "why does everyone want to kill me?" They wouldn't answer at first so the guards tazed them, " tell me!!" Then they spoke, "fine...we want to kill you because you ran over our dog, sent our family to jail and killed my nephew!" 

"But they re the ones who showed up at my door step before i ran over their dog and they wanted to kill me." 

"They did that as a joke to scare you but you took it way to far so we made it serious!" 

"This shouldn't have been a joke! It was so obviously planned." 

"Fine... The truth is that we went to school with you and were jealous and you always acted better than us like we got the iPhone 4 then you went and got the newest one of all so we wanted to take you down for trying to be 'perfect' and we thought the best way to get you to let us get contact to you was by acting like we had no where to go. Then you sent our family to jail so we were then out to get you." 

There's my answer... It all started in high school about seven years ago. 

After court i was still living with Mr.north and he decided to not let me go back home in general. So i stayed there until i got married and moved out a few years later.
