Wish I could have shot the messenger

I snapped awoke to the sound of giggling. The way it echoed through the house, the very sound of it made me uneasy. I looked over at the clock. 6 a.m. I groaned when I read it, the sound was muffled by the pillow that I covered my head with. "One full night of sleep, is that too much to ask for?" The incessant tittering suggested that it was. I got out of bed not bothering to put any clothes on. So I set off making my way through the house clad only in a pair of boxer shorts. Yea I was tired....

I first went about checking the runes that had been placed at each of the potential entrances of the house. They made it so I could feel it if someone other than Tori or myself entered the house. I had to draw them with ink that had been mixed with my and Tori's blood, Tori did not actually question me when I told her I needed some of her blood.

"Hey uh...T-Tori?"

"Yea Skye?"

I fumbled nervously with the pockets of my pants. "C-could I have s-some of y-your blood?" 

Cue the blank stare. I imagine that the question sounded quite strange.

"Some of my blood?"

I nodded. "S-some of your b-blood." 

"You want me to give you some of my blood?"

"Y-yes..."

A shrug is placed here.

"Alright, sure"

I shook my head and continued checking the runes. I was relieved to find that none of them had been tampered with. Meaning had someone entered I would have felt it. The giggling however continued. It was coming from outside then, I decided. With that in mind I went for the nearest door(backdoor) and walked outside. I shivered slightly at the cool morning air. But kept moving nonetheless.

The louder seemed to grow louder, echoing throughout the yard as it had in the house. That feeling of uneasiness only grew. I made my way through the yard slowly, cautiously. I found nothing. The giggling grew even louder as I grew frustrated. Taking a deep breath I walked around to the front of the house.

Slowly the giggling subsided and I sighed. When it had fully disappeared I made my way to the front door. I froze when I saw what sat in front of the door. "N-no......" was all I managed to say.

What sat in front of the door was a bouquet of black roses.
