V. THE MAID

She was only 5 years old when her family locked her in the house while they went to the cinema.
Her brother told her about kinds of monstrous things whose hiding in the other side of the house waiting for the rightest time to take her to their world. Once they take her, there will be no way back alive. They might kill or even eat her, make some filling from her flesh for their quiches.
