Nefarious

Whenever someone mentions the year, 1992, only one thing pops into my mind, the Abductions of Crosspointe, because I live in Crosspointe and I’ve been horrified by it. In 1992, a 9 year old girl named Dana, disappeared from her bed on September 27, 1992. There was no hint of break in and all of the doors were locked and untouched, but one thing in her room remained that was never there before, a sign written in blood behind a Whitney Houston poster on the wall. The sign was a rectangle with lines going through it. No one knew what it meant and the police found no fingerprints in the room.
Later that week, a 5 year old boy named Jackson was playing outside with chalk and his mother went inside to get lemonade and was only gone for 3 minutes. When she came back, Jackson was gone and the symbol found in Dana’s room was written in chalk on the driveway.
Parents began to panic and wouldn’t let their kids go anywhere unsupervised. A week later, at the Elementary School nearby, a 12 year old boy named Noah disappeared at recess and there were no clues to his disappearance besides the symbol carved on a tree that he was last seen at.
Cops were soon patrolling the whole neighborhood and would walk kids to their bus stops. But all of it wasn’t enough, because the minute they were unsupervised, they’d disappear and the symbol would be there. Cops thought it was a child abductor, but no child abductor would be this stealthy, and could carve the symbol that fast.
After 2 weeks of disappearances, 12 kids were taken, and the abductions just stopped. No one found out who did it and about a year later, the investigation stopped and everyone went back to normal.
10 years later in 2002, on September 27, a 48 year old man disappeared and the only thing of his that remained was his finger in his car, and on his finger was the same symbol from 10 years ago carved onto it.
People began to panic for their children, and I was only 3 years old at the time. But surprisingly, no children were taken, instead, dozens of adults and the symbol was always there carved onto a body part left by the last place they were seen. Fortunately, my parents didn’t disappear, and once again, the disappearances stopped after 2 weeks again.
I’ve been terrified to go into the woods and have wanted to move, but it stopped and even though it’s creepy, it’s over, or so I thought…



My name is Ian and I’m in 8th Grade. I was riding home on the bus on a crisp autumn day. Light brown leaves were falling from trees and they would make the crunching sounds if anyone stepped on them.
I was sitting next to my best friend, Jaden on the nice leather seats in the bus.
“So can you hang today?” Jaden asked. Jaden is, in a way, kind of self centered, but he’s really nice to me, and we always have fun sleepovers together.
“Yeah, I think so. I’m SO glad that it’s Friday!” I said smiling.
Jaden smiled and nodded. “Me too, it’s time for a sleepover!”
Our good friends who were sitting in front of us, Kayl and John, looked over and smiled. Kayl is a very talented drummer and a good actor. We’ve been in a ton of school plays together. He’s kind of quiet, but he’s really nice. John is Asian and is my craziest friend, which is awesome, because he has a great sense of humor, and can get along with anyone.
“Were you planning to invite us?” John asked smiling.
Jaden smiled. “You think we wouldn’t?”
“Well, if I remember correctly,” Kayl said taking out a notepad. He looked at it. “You guys had a sleepover without me on December 14, 2010,”
John laughed.
I smiled. “That’s because you were sick with the Flu!” I laughed.
Kayl shrugged his shoulders smiling. “Still counts,”
Kayl, Jaden, John, and I all laughed. “Hey, do you guys know where Brian was today?” Jaden suddenly asked. Brian was a good friend of ours who’s very kind but kind of a know it all.
John thought. “I think he was sick,” John said.
“Come to think of it, he was blowing his nose a lot yesterday,” I said.
The bus stopped at our stop. “Here we are,” Jaden said getting up. The 4 of us hopped off the bus and saw 2 of our friends who’re at the bus stop and who’re in 9th Grade and get home earlier because their school starts at an earlier time than ours. Their names were Franco and Ethan.
Franco is the best actor in his school and he’s the nicest guy I know. He’s very kind and will help anyone at your time of need.
Ethan has an afro and is very nice and although is cocky at times, he’s a very good friend of ours.
“Hey guys, what’s up?” John asked smiling.
“Well, nothing at all, really,” Franco said, trying to force a smile to make us feel more comfortable, which I know immediately that something’s wrong.
“What happened?” I asked nervously.
“Brian, just, disappeared!” Ethan sighed.
Jaden, John, Kayl, and I all gasped. “What?”
“As you know, Brian was sick and had to stay home and since his mom had to go to work, she left him alone with a cell phone to call if he needed anything, and when she came back, he was just gone! What freaks the heck out of me though, if the same symbol that was left behind at the child abductions 20 years ago, was written in blood on the ceiling!” Franco cried.
The 4 of us became pale and my heart sank. Why didn’t I see it before? Every 10 years, starting on September 27, they either start abducting adults or children!
I gasped and told them about it. Jaden, John, and Kayl gasped, but Ethan and Franco nodded.
“Yeah, cops are going to be on a 24/7 watch in the neighborhood,” Ethan told.
“That didn’t work so well last time, did it?” Jaden said nervously.
“They’re doing all they can,” Franco answered.
“Let’s check this out,” John said running to Brian’s house. We followed.
When we got to Brian’s house, cops were all over the place and people were watching the house while being pushed back by cops.
“Wow, this is insane! We have to look for him, or something?!” Kayl panicked.
“If the cops couldn’t find anyone last time, you certain-,” Ethan then stopped himself from saying it. Kayl sighed.
Brian’s mom was going nuts on the porch while being interviewed by cops. Brian’s little brother, Jason, who we’re good friends with as well, was expressionless.
“This sucks!” Jaden cried in tears sitting on the curb. Franco started to comfort him.
“Should we, should we go home?” John asked.
After he said this, I turned towards the woods, and on the trail, I could see someone who was in all black, and the face, the horrible, horrible face had only two greenish brownish eyes on the figure’s face, and nothing else! No mouth, no nose, no ears, just these two horrifying eyes.
I screamed in fear, but not loud enough for the crowd of people to turn around. Franco, Kayl, John, Jaden, and Ethan spun around.
“What?!” John gasped.
I pointed to the woods at the figure. “Right there, look!”
But as I turned around, he was gone. I looked in the woods confused.
“I don’t see anything,” Jaden said.
“But, but, it was right there!” I cried.
“What’d it look like?” Franco asked.
I explained to them what it looked like but later thought I was having hallucinations.
We all went to my house and watched TV for a while, scared out of our minds. My mom came home and was all over me about if I was okay and all. It soon became 7:00.
“Hey, can you guys sleepover?” I asked.
“I don’t know if my mom wants me too, seeing how this kidnapping just happened, I think I have to go,” Ethan said getting up from my bed, because we were playing video games in my room.
“Okay, see you later,” we all said as he walked out.
“I know I can, I’ll call my mom to see if she can bring my sleeping bag over,” Franco answered taking out his cell phone as we paused the game.
“I know I can, I already told my mom and brought my sleeping bag,” John answered showing us his sleeping bag.
Kayl and Jaden also answered that they can stay. Franco got off the phone.
“Okay, I can stay, I’m glad too because it’ll get my mind off of the abduction,” Franco told.
“Why haven’t the police interviewed us yet? Seeing how we’re friends of Brian’s,” Kayl asked.
I thought about it and shrugged my shoulders. “I don’t know, probably have to get every little bit of information from his parents,”
“They must be flipping out,” John said while playing Mario Kart Wii with Jaden.
“Let’s not even talk about it,” Franco sighed.
Taylor, my annoying little sister peeped into my room. She’s 2 years younger than me and is extremely cocky. “Hey losers, Ian’s mom is bringing Brooke (my other sister who’s 4 years younger than me) and I to the Nail Salon,”
“She’s going to leave us alone?” Jaden asked without turning his head because he’s playing Mario Kart.
“Hey, all the abductions that had happened in a house, there was only one person in a room at a time, so always have 2 people be in a room at once,” Taylor said in a “Duh” manner. She left and hopped downstairs.
3 hours later, while we were watching a movie upstairs in my room with popcorn, something crashed downstairs.
We all hopped up in terror and the popcorn fell to the ground and made a mess. I almost had a heart attack.
“What was that?” Kayl gasped.
John shrugged his shoulders in fear. “I don’t know,”
Franco quickly went to lock the door but was suddenly picked off of his feet and slammed against the wall outside of my room. We screamed as my door slammed and literally locked itself from the outside.
Franco started to scream in complete terror like he’s seeing something.
“Franco!” Kayl and John cried running to the door trying to open it.
During all of this, things started to fall everywhere from downstairs and the alarm went off and doors started to slam.
“Call the police, or something!” Kayl panicked trying to open the door.
“It feels like someone’s holding the door!” John cried. Jaden was huddled in a corner in fear.
I was in too much shock to move but got over it and ran to my cell phone on the desk and called 911. It rang but out of nowhere, someone, or something, yelled NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!, in a very angry and loud creepy, cold voice. I gasped and dropped the phone in horror as Franco continued to scream from the outside of the room.
John and Kayl gave up trying to open the door and turned to me. “Did you call 911?” John asked.
“Yeah, but some very loud and angry voice yelled no!” I answered.
“Where’s your mom? Shouldn’t she be back by now, and why would she leave us alone?” Kayl cried.
“Guys, the window!” Jaden suddenly gasped. We ran to the window and saw the same faceless being with only two eyes staring at us from across the street in Ethan’s yard.
“Ethan!” we gasped.
We suddenly saw Ethan screaming from his bedroom window and banging on the glass but was suddenly pulled back by God only knows what.
“No!” we cried.
Suddenly, the racket in my house stopped and the door to my bedroom opened.
The 4 of us stood in place nervously until we heard Franco whimpering nervously downstairs.
“Franco!”I gasped starting to run downstairs. Jaden, John, and Kayl followed.
While running downstairs, I noticed that nothing was ruined at all surprisingly, and nothing even seemed touched.
We saw Franco on the floor of the Dining Room, groaning. We ran to him.
“Franco, are you okay?” Jaden asked as we helped him up. Franco stood up.
“I-I think so, I, I feel like someone was holding onto me and poking me, but no one was there, a Ghost maybe, I know it sounds crazy,” Franco sighed.
“I-I don’t know, why isn’t anything wrecked?” Kayl asked walking around looking.
“Wrecked? What are you talking about?” Franco asked confused.
“You know, things being thrown all over the place, the alarm going off,” John answered.
Franco looked at him oddly. “None of that happened, no alarm went off, nothing was thrown over. The only thing that was happening was me being dragged around,”
I looked at him oddly and then remembered about Ethan.
“Oh my God, Ethan!” I cried.
We all gasped in fear and sprinted across the street.
“W-what happened?” Franco asked while running.
“Ethan, he was being dragged away from his room,” I told nervously.
We ran to his black front door and banged on it in horror, but the second we touched it, it turned to ashes! We gasped and ran inside.
Everything, and I mean everything, was messed up. The couch was ripped up, antiques were thrown on the ground, and most creepy of all, the most horrifying and old Ventriloquists you can think of were hung by a noose all over the ceiling!
“Oh my god, oh my god, I’m getting out of here,” Jaden said completely pale and horrified. He ran outside and vomited. We stared at him sickened.
“I’ll, stay with him,” John said nervously walking outside.
Kayl, Franco, and I looked up the stairs in horror and slowly started to walk up them. “Don’t worry you guys, I’m right behind you,” Franco comforted, which actually kind of helped.
When we got to the top of the creaky stairs, the same sign with the rectangle with lines going through it were carved all over the ceiling. We shook in horror and saw Ethan’s door and scratches from something that can’t be human were all over it. We walked towards it shaky and pale. I was sweating.
“I-I got it,” Kayl slowly said pushing the door open. The second he opened it, the faceless figure with only eyes, was standing there and screamed at the top of it’s lungs, “Mortalitas!” and then the door slammed in our faces without the thing touching the door!
We screamed in tears and fell to the ground in horror.
“What the heck was that?” Franco cried.
I got back up pale nervously and slowly opened the door to find the symbol written in blood all over the walls and ceiling and rotten apples and the old Ventriloquists lying everywhere.
I backed out of the room in horror as Kayl and Franco saw what was inside. “Brian, Ethan, gone!” Kayl sighed.
We then heard one cop car stopping by the front of my house across the street. The 3 of us quickly got up and ran downstairs to see a cop looking talking to a horrified Jaden and John.
We sprinted across the street and yelled “Ethan is gone!”


After that, the cop interviewed us on what happened and they turned Ethan’s house into a crime scene. The cops tried to get a hold of my mom and dad but none of them picked up. The cops found my mom’s car at the side of the highway and the car completely empty of everything. They searched my dad’s house and found it ransacked and my dad gone! Plus, Franco’s parents were missing as well, but for some reason, Kayl’s, Jaden’s, and John’s weren’t.
The cops made Franco and I stay at Jaden’s house since both of our other relatives were missing as well! The cops were going to guard the house and patrol the whole neighborhood. There were absolutely no fingerprints in Ethan’s room or Ethan’s parents’ room. They were hysterical.
Franco and I were sitting at Jaden’s dinner table with expressionless faces. Jaden’s mom was trying to comfort us.
“It’s okay guys, they’re doing a 24/7 patrol of the neighborhood and they’re investigating the disappearances, they’ll find the culprit,” Jaden’s mom said forcing a smile, sitting across from us.
Jaden frowned and shook his head while sitting next to his mom. “Mom, you don’t understand, this thing was supernatural. It wasn’t human!”
“Jaden, you were seeing things,” Jaden’s mom hissed.
Franco spoke up. “I don’t mean to be rude, but I was literally picked off my feet and thrown against walls!”
“Did you see if anyone was pulling you? Maybe it was rope,” Jaden’s mom idiotically said. Jaden and I rolled our eyes.
“No, but I felt like something was there!” Franco said raising his voice a little, which is very unusual.
“It must have been rope then,” Jaden’s mom repeated.
After that dumb conversation, the police interviewed the 3 of us again and then left. We went upstairs and got completely ready for bed.
We started to play video games and while playing I glanced out the window and saw the same being staring at me from the woods. I gasped in horror dropping my controller shaking in terror.
Franco and Jaden turned their heads. “What is it?”
I pointed to the woods but saw, of course, that nothing was there. “I saw the same, I don’t know, thing over in the woods,”
“Um, it’s-it’s okay, we’re protected by cops who’re patrolling outside,” Franco comforted.
Jaden spoke up nervously. “The cops can’t save us, the being can easily just appear in this house, no, all we can do is pray that he doesn’t get us, which won’t happen,”…


Somehow, we went to sleep that night, but none of us slept well. I had nightmares of the thing following me wherever I went. I woke up with nervous sweat dripping down me.
Franco, who was messing around on his laptop in his sleeping bag, looked up at me. “Hey sleepyhead, rough night?” Franco asked looking back down on his laptop.
I smiled a bit. “You bet,” I then looked around nervously and saw that Jaden wasn’t in his bed.
“Where’s Jaden?”
“Relax, he’s down having breakfast,” Franco answered.
I let out a sigh of relief. “Good,”
Franco got up and stretched. “Let’s go eat,”
I got up and we walked downstairs and saw Jaden eating Cheerios while searching the internet.
We sat down and got some Cheerios. “How was your night?”
I asked.
“I’m sure it was the same as you 2, by the way, I typed in a chapped pale face with only eyes on Google Images, and this came up,” Jaden said turning the computer towards us.
Franco and I flinched a little because it was a drawing of the exact same face we saw in Ethan’s room.
“That’s it! That’s the face!” Franco gasped.
Jaden turned the computer back to himself. “Well, according to this article, it’s called the Marduk, sights of it have been seen around the world. People who have seen it and haven’t disappeared right after seeing it, have all become completely different people. Every single one of them turns evil, into murderers, or thieves, or abductors. Everyone else has disappeared and are never found again,”
“Wow, how come the police never looked at that?” I asked.
“Because, the police never saw the face. Anyway, we don’t even know if this is what it is,” Franco mentioned. Jaden and I shrugged our shoulders.
The doorbell rang. We jumped in fear but then calmed ourselves. The 3 of us walked to the door and opened it to see Kayl and John standing at the door as cops eyed them from the front yard.
“Hey guys, everything alright at your houses?” I asked.
Kayl nodded. “Yeah, are you and Franco doing okay?”
Franco and I nodded. “Yeah, thanks for asking,” Franco thanked.
“Well, can you guys come out, cops are everywhere, so we’re safe,” John asked.
Jaden nodded. “Yeah, we can, we just have to get ready,”
We got dressed and we walked outside with Kayl and John. We walked around talking while cops were watching from a distance. We were all different from our usual selves. John wasn’t as talkative or cracking jokes like he used to. Jaden would usually make know it all remarks, but not today. Franco was still caring, but he wasn’t as social as he usually is. Kayl could always have a smile on his face, but not now. And I was different in every way.
“See anything last night?” Franco asked John and Kayl. They shook their heads. “No, thankfully, how about you guys?” Kayl asked.
I nodded. “Yeah, sadly, it was the Marduk,”
“The Marduk?” John asked.
“We don’t know for sure that it’s an urban legend come to life,” Franco said.
Jaden explained to Kayl and John what we read. “Ah,” John replied.
That’s when we saw 2 great friends of ours named Collin and Monica. Collin was the best singer at our school and for some reason, he gets bullied by the “Jocks” at our school, but he doesn’t care because he has us. Monica is a very pretty girl with black hair and blue eyes and is in Franco’s grade. She’s very sweet.
“Oh, hey guys, how’s it going? I heard what happened, I’m very sorry,” Collin greeted.
“Don’t be sorry, be hopeful,” Jaden hissed a bit.
“Knock it off, Jaden,” Franco said.
“We were coming down to say hey, and hang out,” Monica said smiling.
“Thanks, that’d be nice,” Kayl thanked smiling. It was obvious that Kayl and I like her.
We all started to walk and talk. We told Monica and Collin about what we think it is. “So, the Marduk is what you guys looked up?” Collin asked.
Jaden nodded. “Yep, I found it,” he said it in his usual know it all manner, which was actually a relief.
“You actually saw this attack Ethan?” Monica asked.
“Yeah, what I want to know is what the symbol means,” I answered trying to get the thought of Ethan getting attacked out of my mind.
“The rectangle with a line through it, right?” Collin asked.
“Exactly, it horrifies me, it’s eerie,” John added.
“The Ventriloquists scare me the most,” Franco shivered.
“Oh yes, I heard about that,” Monica said.
Suddenly, it started to get very cold and we started to shiver. We noticed the wind was blowing faster than it was just a second ago.
I looked around and noticed that the cops who were watching us at the sides of the road were gone!
“Guys, the cops are gone!” I cried.
Franco, John, Jaden, Monica, Collin, and Kayl looked around as well and gasped in horror.
“Oh my god!” Jaden gasped.
“Run to my house!” Collin cried since his house was closest. We started to run.
Suddenly, a very loud screaming started to erupt inside my ears. It screamed in a deep voice, “Mortalitas, Mortalitas, Mortalitas!”
I screamed and fell to the ground blacked out. The screaming went on as I saw while seeing black because of my black out, the thing staring at me with the blank expression. I cried out when all of the screaming stopped and the thing disappeared and that’s when I heard John screaming. It faded away as I opened my eyes and saw the blue sky above me. The wind stopped.
I quickly got up and saw that I was lying on the sidewalk. Franco, Jaden, Monica, Collin, and Kayl were still on the ground twitching. I looked around and saw no John!
“Guys, get up, John’s gone!” I gasped.
They then opened their eyes. “W-what happened?” Collin gasped grabbing his head in horror.
“I-I saw him, but, I don’t know what happened!” Jaden stuttered nervously.
I suddenly saw the symbol written in blood on the sidewalk where John was standing.
“Oh my god!” Monica cried in horror.

The cops ran to us after that and said that they didn’t abandon their post and were there the whole time. We didn’t understand at all, because we didn’t see them at all.
John’s parents were hysterical, and our County Police Force issued a curfew, stating that no kid is allowed to leave the house unless they are with cops by their side. I felt no hope at all that any of them would be found. There would literally be cops in every home that has a kid living there watching for any threat. The cop in our house was named Officer Holmes.
Franco, Jaden, and I were sitting in Jaden’s room in tears. “First Brian, then Ethan, now John,” Jaden sighed.
“It, it was the most horrifying moment in my life. I heard a terrible screaming in my ears and could see the thing,” Franco said shaking.
“Will you admit now that it’s the Marduk?” I asked.
Franco sighed and nodded hating himself for admitting it.
“Wait, let me find out further information about this Marduk,” Jaden then said getting up and getting his laptop.
Franco, without moving said, “There’s no point, we’re done for,”
“Franco, stop it. Don’t be in such denial, this isn’t you!” I hissed.
Franco sighed. “Just leave me alone,”
Jaden and I looked at him suspiciously as we looked up the Maduk.
“Okay, so far we know what this Marduk looks like, he looks just like the figure we keep seeing,” I clarified.
“Correct,” Jaden replied.
“We also know that sights have been seen of him around the world and anyone who has seen him has disappeared or turned into a murderer, or a thief,” I said.
“Yep, let’s see here,”
Jaden clicked on a link to The Marduk and started to read. “Sights of the legend Marduk, have been seen since the 1300s in England. The first knowledge of him was from a diary entry from a man named Henry Cavendish, “I saw the demon again. It follows me where ever I go, if I’m having tea with the Masons, it’s there. If I’m playing checkers with Cleandro, it’s there. The horrible demon has only two godforsaken eyes on it’s face. They stare at you with a blank expression. It doesn’t move, just stands there, with all black.” Henry disappeared from his home a few days later when as his wife said, he woke up screaming in fear and ran out of the house running and screaming. He never came back. A symbol of a rectangle with a line through it was found written on a mirror in the house in red. More sights were seen in England, and later all over Asia. In Mesopotamia, a pot with the Marduk painted on it was found buried deep in the ground.
“In 1891, a very nice boy named Daniel who lived in Philadelphia with his mom, said he saw a man with no mouth and no ears but with only two eyes and the man was in all black. His mom ignored him and later found him carving the rectangle with the line through it all over the walls. When his mom asked what he was doing, he didn’t speak and didn’t speak for a whole day. Finally, when his mom wanted an exorcism, Daniel yelled foul language to his mother in a voice “Completely unlike his own” as said by a neighbor. His mother was later found murdered and Daniel was gone, like he vanished off of earth.
“People began to call it The Marduk, another word for death. More and more disappearances started to happen and suddenly, they stopped in 1972. Summed up, if you see The Marduk, you either disappear, or turn into a terrible person. If you have any sort of sighting of The Marduk, report it immediately,” Jaden read in horror. I was pale with fear.
Franco started to laugh creepily. He started to sing Mary Had A Little Lamb in a voice unlike his. Jaden and I then turned to each other nervously knowing what was happening. Franco was experiencing the personality change!
“Uh, Franco,” Jaden said tapping him.
Franco suddenly jumped up in horror and grabbed Jaden’s hand. Jaden started to scream in pain.
“Nothing is wrong with me!” Franco yelled. I could hear Jaden’s hand starting to snap. Jaden screamed even louder.
“Franco, stop!” I yelled attempting to pull Franco away from Jaden.
I suddenly heard Jaden’s mom scream downstairs and multiple footsteps downstairs. I let go of Franco in horror watching the door. Jaden fell unconscious as Franco smiled in a very eerie way at me.
“Here they come,” he said still smiling at me.
I gasped and ran towards Jaden’s door but it slammed out of nowhere and locked. I screamed in horror and turned to Franco who was smiling at me still. “Franco, don’t do this!” I cried.
“Don’t call me Franco!” Franco roared moving his hand. I was suddenly thrown against the wall without him touching me and made a huge dent. I fell to the ground groaning.
Someone or something started to bang on the door to Jaden’s room. “They’re coming,” he repeated.
I looked around on the floor for anything to help me and saw a baseball bat not too far away from me.
“Now it’s time for you to go as well,” Franco hissed walking towards the door smiling.
I quickly grabbed the bat and bashed it on Franco’s head. He fell to the ground knocked out. The banging on the door became louder and louder and I heard heavy breathing. I was shaking in horror and looked around and saw Jaden’s window. I smiled and broke the window open with the bat and looked out the window. It was a long fall, but I defiantly wasn’t going to stay in this room. I suddenly remembered Jaden and turned to his unconscious body nervously.
I shook him nervously. “Jaden, wake up, wake up!”
Jaden woke up a bit. “What?”
Right after Jaden said that, the door broke open and dozens of kids with the palest skin ever and black eyes followed by wrinkly old people started to walk into the room. I screamed and jumped out the window. I landed on the ground hard snapped something in my left leg. I screamed in pain starting to grasp my left leg.
I could hear Jaden scream and then fade away. One of the old ladies in black looked out the window at me. That’s when I started to hear whispering in my ears saying “Collin, Collin, Collin,”
“Collin!” I gasped getting up. I saw The Marduk standing in several places at once staring at me. I ignored it and ran while limping to Collin’s house. The whispering continued saying horrible things.
No cops were in the neighborhood anymore, every single one of them were gone.
When I finally got to Collins, the door had the symbol carved onto the door. I gulped. “NO!” I cried.
Suddenly, his door opened and a bunch of other kids and old people walked out of his house at me muttering “Ian, Ian, Ian,”
I backed away in horror but was grabbed onto from behind. I screamed but suddenly saw that it was Monica. “Monica, are you okay,” I asked in horror.
Monica looked at the people. “I’ll tell you after we’re done running!”
She started to run to her house. I followed. Once we got into her house, it looked exactly like Ethan’s house. Ransacked, and Ventriloquists hanging by nooses. “Up here!” Monica yelled running upstairs. I followed. She pulled down the attic ladder and quickly climbed up. I followed and got into the dusty attic and she quickly pulled the ladder up.
“Wh-What’re we doing here?” I asked.
Monica lit a lantern. “I hid here when these people came,”
“They came to your house as well?” I asked nervously.
“Y-yes, it was awful, that’s when I found out something,” Monica said breathing in nervously.
“What?” I asked anxiously.
“The Marduk, it, it takes souls to stay alive, like it took Ethan and John’s souls. But sometimes, The Marduk brainwashes a person it takes, so that they can be “Peasants” to it. The Peasants created the sign of the rectangle with a line through it to represent The Marduk when it needs souls. Every 10 years, The Marduk travels here to get souls from here and get new Peasants. When he isn’t here, he all over the world doing this, there’s no stopping him. What I think he’s been doing, is you said you saw him first, right? After you found out Brian was gone?” Monica asked.
I nodded in fear.
“He’s been saving you for last, and letting you watch your friends fall victim, and your family,” Monica sighed.
“And, how do you know all this?” I asked nervously.
“Because, I saw my own mother being consumed, but my dad turned evil,” Monica answered.
We suddenly started to hear whispering. “Found you, found you, found you!”
We looked around in horror and saw a bunch of the Peasants in a circle around us. Monica and I screamed.
I saw my dad, my mom, my sisters, Franco, Collin, Monica’s dad, a bunch of other kids from past abductions of Crosspointe, and I happened to see Henry Cavendish, from the explanation page of The Marduk! I could tell it was him because there was a painting of him.
The Marduk appeared out of nowhere right in front of us. Monica and I screamed and fell to the ground in horror. Monica suddenly floated off the ground screaming. “Monica!” I cried.
She was spun around dozens of times and hit the ground with chalk skin and black eyes whispering terrible things. I walked away nervously and shaking in horror when suddenly, the weak attic floor couldn’t take it anymore and I fell through screaming. I hit the floor downstairs hard. Groaning, I didn’t want to give up and attempted to crawl away. Suddenly, I saw Kayl run into Monica’s house and gasped looking at me.
“Ian, are you okay?” Kayl gasped running over to me helping me up.
I shook him panicking. “We have to get out of here! Monica, Collin, Franco, they’re all brainwashed!”
I tried to run out the door but Kayl grabbed onto me. “Why leave, when this party is just getting started?”
I turned to him confused and saw his blonde hair fall to the ground and grey hair appeared. His skin turned completely pale and his hazel eyes turned completely black. He started to whisper. “You’re done for,”
I screamed and started to run but Kayl moved his hand and I was thrown against the wall groaning. When I opened my eyes, The Marduk’s face was completely facing mine with his peasants behind him.
I gasped in horror and the ringing happened in my ears again and the world to me appeared black with The Marduk staring at me, and that’s when everything faded away…

Happy New Year!

We're counting down to 2012! Man, 2 years ago I thought 2012 was so far away! Last year, 2011 seemed like a huge year, but now it seems so old. That's what is odd about New Year.
One new Year's Resoulution I have is to actually follow my New Year's Resoulution next year in 2013, because I never keep my resoulutions! Alot of people I know's resoulutions are to become more popular around my school which I think is pretty stupid. If my other resoulution about keeping my other New Year's Resolutions doesn't count, then it is to give you guys the best year of stories ever! I have quite alot in planning.
It's been fun counting down at home with my family. Last New Year I was at my Godfather's house with my family and the year before as well. I love New Year the most because everyone in my family gets together and plays alot of games while waiting for the new year to start. And seeing that giant crystal ball drop on TV is so exciting!
Well, summing it up, only 15 minutes until 2012! Have fun sitting by the fire with your families counting down, or going to fun parties, either way, have a good time.

Theories

Sometimes I sit and wonder, about things I don't know.
I wonder why we were put on earth, to live, or die the death,
If we were God's greatest mistake, or the evil Devil's foe.
I wonder what actually started us, and who created God,
It doesn't seem possible, but then again it's happened too.
I wonder why we haven't found out, just what made us walk,
What did we evolve from, where did they come from?
I wonder if there was just darkness, before anything ever breathed,
But that back tracks in my mind, because when did that begin?
No one knows how anything started, and we might never know,
But we have figured out life around us, and that's a great start.

Packie and Billy: Meeting School

Packie Brady and Billy Dixon have never had luck with friends ever since the 1st grade. Packie and Billy were best friends and never made any other friends except for a nerdy kid with red hair and freckles that lives near them named Eugene, but only because they couldn’t find any other friends.
Packie is a pretty good looking with blonde hair and blue eyes, and Billy is kind of pudgy and has curly hair.
People called them the “Trash” because people at their old elementary just hated them.
So many people there were such jerks. Such as Woody Martinez, a big kid who is the leader of the “cool” people. And the girls cool gang’s leader was a really pretty girl with blonde hair, and blue eyes. Her name was Kate Bell. She would always verbally abuse them in awful ways.
Now Packie and Billy are going into middle school and they will not stand for anymore torture.



Packie, Billy, and Eugene were making a model airplane in Billy’s garage. They were so freaking bored.
“Hey, you guys want to play World of War craft and then look over my comic and stamp collection?” Billy asked.
Packie groaned and same with Eugene.
“Hey, what else are we going to do, we can’t do anything in the neighborhood because stupid Woody’s gang is always hanging around and will beat us to a bloody pole,” Billy told.
“Well, I got a good idea, let get back at these losers!” Packie yelled.
“But how, we’re weak, and they’re strong,” Eugene replied picking his nose.
“Yeah, how?” Billy asked.
“Wait, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, well, Woody and his football friends and Kate and her army of girls always hang around the Dairy Queen. We steal my dad’s airsoft gun, and Billy and I sneak up behind them, and start to fire away at them, then if they turn around and see us, Eugene will get a bull horn from behind the dumpster and make the noise, we then run towards the basketball court in the woods that are behind Dairy Queen, and bike away, back to my house, safe and sound,” Packie told.
He then took a bow smiling thinking that the plan was genius. He looked up.
Billy and Eugene just stared at him blankly.
“Uh, sorry I didn’t catch any of that, say that whole thing again,” Billy said stupidly.
Packie sighed.
“Just follow me,” he said opening a safe. He took out a shotgun airsoft gun.
“Here we are,” Packie told Billy and Eugene smiling looking at the shotgun airsoft gun.
“Cool, what does it do?” Eugene asked.
Packie sighed. “Just come on the driveway and I’ll show you,” he said walking on the driveway.
“Okay, show us,” Billy urged picking up old chewed up gum from the road and putting it in his mouth.
Packie aimed at a stop sign and shot it. Billy and Eugene then oooed and aaaed.
“Give me that,” Billy then said taking it from Packie’s hands. “Hey!” Packie yelled.
Billy pointed it at Eugene’s feet. “Dance!” Billy commanded.
Eugene gasped and started to dance, only he did the worm. “Help!”
Billy then shot Eugene laughing. “Hey, that hurt!” Eugene growled.
“Hey Billy, you don’t know how to handle that!” Packie growled from behind him.
Billy gasped and turned around and shot Packie in the stomach. He fell to the ground groaning.
“You scared me,” Billy gasped.
“You idiot!” Packie groaned on the ground.
All of the sudden, Woody Martinez, the biggest jerk in school, and his group showed up.
“Hey losers, did idiot Billy shoot you?” Woody laughed beding down looking at Packie and Eugene.
Woody’s gang started to laugh with him and same with Kate Bell’s girl group. Woody slapped his friends high fives.
“Go away,” Packie groaned getting up.
Billy gasped and pointed the shotgun airsoft gun at Woody and shot but it was out of pellets. Billy gulped looking at the airsoft gun.
Woody’s gang gasped and took off their hats knowing that something bad was going to happen. Packie gulped stepping back with Eugene.
“Whoa, bad mistake, Billy,” Woody laughed smiling cracking his knuckles.
Billy gulped.
Packie then quickly grabbed Eugene’s bull horn.
Billy gulped while Woody was coming closer to him. “You’re looking, uh, killy,” Billy gulped.
Packie then ran over to Woody’s ear and blew the blow horn right in his ear.
Woody screamed covering his ears.
“Run!” Packie screamed. Packie, Billy, and Eugene ran into the woods gasping.
They climbed up a tree fort they made and pulled up the ladder.
“Man, I don’t want to go to my first day at middle school tomorrow,” Billy sighed.
“Yeah, people will be so mean,” Eugene said.
“Well, this year is not going to be like last year in 6th grade, this year, we will fight back!” Packie growled.


Billy went to bed that night biting his nails nervous for the next day. But Packie was confident, he wasn’t going to let Woody to ruin him in middle school.


The next day, Packie and Billy walked to their usual bus stop that only had them.
Billy had scissors trying to cut off a pony tail that was on his hair. Packie snickered.
“What happened?”
“While I was sleeping, my stupid brother made a pony tail on me and I’m trying to get it off,” Billy whimpered trying to cut it, but the hair was too strong.
Packie then got a hat out of his backpack.
“Here, wear this,” he said handing it to Billy. Billy put it on him and looked at the label on the hat.
It showed a picture of a grandpa in bed and the label below it said, “Come to bed,”
“Hey, this isn’t school appropriate,” Billy growled while Packie was laughing.
Billy took it off but then saw a beautiful girl walking towards the bus stop that was their age. She has brown hair, blue eyes, and a perfectly constructed face.
Billy started to drool and quickly put the hat back on because he didn’t want her to see his pony tail.
Packie looked at the girl and then smiled. “Looks like someone found love,”
“Shut up,” Billy growled to him.
She then came to the bus stop and smiled at Packie and Billy.
“Hi, my name is Dianna Johnson, I’m new here and this is my new bus stop, I haven’t found any friends yet though because I only moved here 3 days ago,” Dianna told smiling.
“Yeah, that’s, that’s, cool,” Billy said drooling.
“Uh, yeah, my name is Packie Brady and this is Billy Dixon,” Packie told her.
“Splendid to meet you,” Dianna replied.
Billy then snapped out of his drooling mode and tried to act like a tough cool guy.
He then took some gum off the street and put it in his mouth trying to act cool.
“Yeah, this place is lame, everything’s lame, like this one kid asked if he wanted to play, and I said to him, get a life! And I punched him in the face,” Billy lied in a deep voice
“Whoa, that’s not nice!” Dianna replied.
“Actually Billy, I’m pretty sure it was the opposite,” Packie said to him.
“Shut up, this kid here always follows me around, because he can’t find any friends,” Billy told Dianna pointing to Packie.
“Hey, shut up!” Packie yelled to Billy.
“Billy, don’t be mean,” Dianna said.
Billy then gulped and quickly spit the gum out of his mouth. “That wasn’t me!” Billy gasped.
The bus then came.
Dianna then ran on the bus afraid of Billy. Billy sighed.
“Do you have any good ideas on how to talk to a girl?” Packie asked Billy jumping on the bus with him.
“Sure I do, problem is, they all suck,” Billy replied.
Packie rolled his eyes and looked at everyone who was going to be on his bus.
He saw bullies, freaks, and geeks.
He saw Woody. “Hey Brady, don’t forget to change your diaper after math class,”
Everyone on the bus started to laugh. Packie quickly ran back to the back of the bus avoiding Eugene.
Packie sat down embarrassed. Packie thought of ways to get back at Woody.
Billy then sat down next to Dianna drooling.
“H-hi,” he greeted.
“Oh, hey, uh, Packie,” she greeted.
Billy’s eyes widened. “Packie?! I’m Billy!”
“Oh yeah, the tough guy,” Dianna said rolling her eyes.
“Well, the funny thing about that, see, I’m always that way in the morning, I mean, usually I only meet stupid idiotic mean girls, well, not that you are one, I know all about you and- but Billy couldn’t finish because Dianna interrupted.
“Wait, how do you know all about me?” Dianna asked.
“No wait! I didn’t mean that!” Billy screamed.
“Listen, Billy, I know what you’re trying to do, and I’m sorry, I’m not in the mood for dating yet, but we can still be friends,” Dianna said to him smiling.
Billy sighed. “I guess,”
The bus then stopped at one more stop. Packie looked out the window and it was the jerk girls’ bus stop.
Packie sighed. Kate got on wearing stupid nice clothes and her “Army” was with her.
“Hey everyone! For all you new kids at the school, if you want a good girlfriend, then choose me! But if you approach me too badly, then you get a punch in the face,” Kate announced sitting next to her stupid friend, Dakota.
Packie then saw the most beautiful girl come on the bus. She was about Packie’s height, blue eyes, blonde hair, perfect cheek bones, and a wonderfully placed nose. She smiled and Packie saw the most white teeth ever.
All of the sudden, Packie turned his head and saw a kid who was drooling, had red curly hair, glasses on, and some boogers were on his face.
Packie screamed.
“Is this seat taken?” he asked.
Packie saw the girl coming this way. Packie pushed the kid off the chair.
She came by. “Hi, can I sit here?” she asked smiling. Packie blushed.
“Uh, sure,” Packie replied.
She sat down next to him as her blonde hair waved. Packie smiled.
“So, uh, I’ve never seen you in Elementry School, you’ve just moved?” Packie asked making eye contact.
“Oh, yes, I just moved from New Mexico here to Michigan,” she told.
“Oh, I’ve been there before, loved the Grand Canyon!” Packie told.
“Uh, the Grand Canyons in Arizona,” she told.
Packie then looked embarrassed.
“Uh, so what’s your name?” he asked her.
“My name is Mary Thompson, what’s yours?” Mary answered smiling.
“Patrick Brady, but my friends call me Packie,” he told.
“Cool, Packie,” she said.
Packie had a good conversation with Mary the whole bus ride until they got to the school.
Packie hopped off the bus with Billy.
“So, how was talking to Dianna?” Packie asked Billy.
Billy sighed. “Not so good, Kate started to talk to her and she smacked me in the face,”
“Well, I met a nice girl,” Packie bragged.
Woody and his gang then walked up to them. “So, the two of you found yourself girlfriends didn’t you?” Woody asked.

“YES! When I grow up, I’m going to marry her!” Billy cheered. Packie put his hand on his face embarrassed.
Woody and his gang started to laugh. “Well, we’re going to embarrass you, like heck in front of both of them,”
“Look, if you embarrass us, I’ll beat you to death with Billy’s head, and shut up, no one likes you, fatty!” Packie laughed at him.
Woody’s face then became red. Everyone that was watching gulped.
Woody then picked up Packie and threw him. He also picked up Billy and threw him. They both crashed into a teacher walking out.
“Ooooooooo,” everyone in the crowd gasped.
“Get off me, kids!” the teacher yelled getting up and grabbing Packie and Billy’s ears.
“Ow!” they both screamed.
“What happened?” the teacher growled.
Kate spoke up. “I was trying to stop them, but they wouldn’t listen, they were planning to tackle you,” she told looking innocent.
“Detention for both of you!” the teacher yelled dropping them. Billy and Packie groaned.
“Come on, let’s come into the school,” the teacher than said. Everyone started to walk into the school.
Woody and Kate laughed at both Billy and Packie and hugged each other because they were dating.
Packie and Billy then got up.
“I’m not going to take that crap from them this year,” Billy sighed.
“Yeah, I’m going to get back at those idiots, once and for all,” Packie said confidently.
“So, uh, you’re going to do what again?” Billy asked.
Packie rolled his eyes.
Packie and Billy went to their lockers. Packie opened up his locker and got his things.
“All I’m saying is, I’m going to get back at him,” Packie told Billy.
“But he’s so much bigger then you,” Billy replied leaning against his locker.
“No, not physically, but something that will ruin his social life,” Packie told.
“So, you’re going to, uh, kill him instead?” Billy stupidly asked.
Packie sighed. Mary then walked up to Packie. “Hi Packie,” she greeted smiling.
Packie then quickly looked at her smiling.
“Uh, hi Mary,” Packie greeted smiling and blushing.
Billy was picking his nose and then saw Mary. He quickly shook Mary’s hand with a booger on his hand.
“Hi, I’m Billy!!!!!” Billy greeted.
Mary pulled away from him and flicked some of his boogers off her hand.
“Uh, hi, Jilly, so uh, Packie, would you like to walk me to class?” she asked.
Packie couldn’t speak. “Uh, sure!”
Packie then started to walk with Mary to the class.
Billy rolled his eyes. “She got my name wrong!”
Billy then opened his locker and Eugene jumped out and gave Billy a hug. Billy screamed.
“Hi friend!” Eugene greeted.
“What’re you doing?” Billy asked.
“Giving my friend a hug,” Eugene said.
Billy then pushed Eugene in his locker and closed the door and ran off horrified to class.
He then came in and saw Packie and Mary sitting next to each other talking.
Billy then saw Dianna sitting next to Kate talking. Billy didn’t want to sit near Kate.
He saw a seat between Packie and some kid with black spiky hair, and brown eyes.
Billy sat in between them.
“Hey Billy,” Packie greeted to Billy.
“I’m not looking forward to this year, 478 days of torture,” Billy sighed stupidly.
“Uh, Billy, first off, we’re not here for a whole year, second, there’s 365 days in a full year,” Packie told him.
“Oh same thing!” Billy replied.
Billy then looked over at the kid with spiky black hair next to him. “Uh, hey,” Billy greeted.
The kid with spiky hair looked over.
“Oh hey, you’re that Billy kid, I saw what happened to you and your friend, that’s tough man, I hate Woody too, he once hung me up a flag pole by my underwear in the 4th grade,” he explained.
“Whoa, your normal, uh, what’s that word, uh, uh, oh yeah, what’s your name?” Billy asked.
“Collin Moore, nice to meet you,” Collin said to him shaking his hand.
Collin then looked at his hand and saw some of Billy’s boogers on it. Collin sighed and flicked them off at Kate’s hair. She didn’t notice.
“Haha, it’s nice we hate the same things,” Billy laughed.
The teacher then came in and whipped his desk so everyone would stop talking. Everyone did.
“Now just to tell you, this will be the most awful, back breaking year of your life,” the teacher growled.
“Do we be getting business cards?” Packie joked.
Billy then cracked up.
“Shut up! I hate laughter, and I hate children, and I hate my family!” the teacher yelled at Billy. Billy then went quiet.
The teacher then came up to Packie. People gulped. Packie gulped.
“And to let you know, I hate comedians, HATE THEM!” the teacher yelled at Packie. Packie’s hair flew back.
The teacher then walked up to the board and wrote down his name. His name was Mr. Marshall.
“Now, today we’ll be discussing the speed of light,” Mr. Marshall told.
“And the speed of dark, right?” Billy stupidly asked.
Mr. Marshall then looked at Billy. “Another rule in my class is don’t say stupid things or I will hit you with my ring hand,” Mr. Marshall told showing them his ring hand.
Billy shut up. Packie then came in and whispered to Billy. “Being in this class is like skating on the other side of the ice,”. Billy snickered.
Collin yawned. Mr. Marshall turned around and whipped a playing card at him.
“Ow!” Collin screamed. “No yawning!” Mr. Marshall yelled.
A teacher then came in with Eugene.
“This kid was locked in someone’s locker! Who dared to do this?!” the teacher yelled.
Packie then pointed to Kate. “She did it! I saw the whole thing! Eugene said hi to her and she stuffed him in Billy’s locker!” Packie lied.
“What, no I didn’t!” Kate screamed at him.
“Uh, yeah, I saw the whole thing! It was sad!” Collin then backed up.
“Yeah, it’s true!” Billy then lied as well.
“NOOOOOOO! I didn’t do it!” Kate roared at Packie, Billy, and Collin.
“Is it true?” Mr. Marshall asked Eugene.
Eugene looked at Packie who winked at him. “Uh, yeah! She did it!” Eugene then told.
“Take her away!” Mr. Marshall then yelled.
The detention teachers then came in with hand cuffs and pushed her head on the desk and put the hand cuffs on her.
“Hey!” Kate yelled being dragged away to detention.
Packie, Billy, and Collin slapped each other high fives. Billy then turned to Woody and winked at him thinking it would bug him because Woody’s dating Kate.
Woody’s face then turned red. Packie then slapped Billy on the shoulder for telling him.
The bell then rang and Packie, Billy, Eugene, and Collin quickly ran out of the classroom.
They 4 of them laughed. “Ooo, she got screwed good,” Collin laughed.
“Yeah,” Packie agreed laughing.
Woody then came from behind them and threw Eugene and Collin across the room. They hit the ground groaning and Woody’s friends held them in a head lock.
Packie and Billy gulped as Woody picked them both up. “You two are going to live hell itself,”
“Woody, let them go!” Mary then called getting to the front of the crowd.
“Yeah,” Dianna agreed standing next to Mary.
“Hey, want to see how geeky they are?” Woody laughed.
Packie sighed. “What’re you doing?” Packie asked calmly because he was used to this kind of stuff.
Woody then pulled down their pants and Billy’s pants were Scooby Doo underpants and Packie’s were Sponge bob underpants.
Everyone started laughing in the crowd. Packie and Billy then ran out of the school crying.
Packie ran to his house and Billy ran to his house. Packie then got on his couch crying.
He then sat up and rubbed the tears off his face. His golden retriever, Milk Dud, then jumped on the couch and started to lick him.
“Thanks Milk Dud, but the only thing that could cheer me up right now, is if I could get back at Woody!” Packie told petting his dog.
Billy went to sleep that night not looking forward to the next day. But Packie stayed up and thought of a great idea to get back at Woody the next day.


The next day, Billy and Packie went to the bus stop.
“I was begging my mom not to take me to school today,” Billy sighed.
“Don’t worry, he won’t hurt us no more, and neither will Kate,” Packie told him.
“How?” Billy asked.
The bus then came and Billy saw Dianna walking to the bus stop. Billy ran on the bus too embarrassed to show his face to Dianna. Packie started walking on the bus when Dianna came.
“Where’s Billy? I feel real bad for him after what happened,” Dianna asked Packie.
“He’s too embarrassed to let you see him,” Packie told her running on the bus.
He sat down to Collin. “You okay?” Packie asked Collin.
“Yeah, are you okay after what happened yesterday?” Collin asked Packie.
“Yeah, but I will get back at Woody today!” Packie growled.
“How?” Collin asked.
But before Packie could answer, Mary got on the bus. Packie ducked too afraid to show himself.
Mary looked around for Packie but didn’t see him. Packie got up.
“You can’t hide forever,” Collin said.
The bus then stopped at the playground and everyone got off and everyone got in line waiting for the doors to open.
Packie and Billy got next to each other. Woody and his gang then came up to them.
“Hey, what’s up losers?” Kate asked laughing.
“Shut up, you, you, tacky loser!” Billy then yelled.
Everyone looked over and gasped. Kate was then frozen with anger. Everyone stepped back and only Packie, Billy, Kate, and Woody were standing in the circle.
“Wh-what did you just say?” Kate asked.
Packie gulped. Billy drooled. “Uh, I don’t know,” he stupidly said.
Woody then punched Billy in the face and Billy fell back with blood all over his face.
Packie, Mary, and Dianna gasped and ran over to injured Billy. “What’s wrong with you!?” Mary yelled at Woody.
Packie then got up mad. Mary then got up.
“No, Packie, don’t?” Mary urged him.
“What’re you going to do, Slim Jim?” Woody laughed. Packie had an angry look on his face.
“Oooh, I’m so scared,” Woody laughed. Kate started to laugh too with him.
“I’ll tell you what I’m going to do Woody, I’m going to tell you just how I feel about you,” Packie growled.
“Miss me with your best shot!” Woody laughed.
“Your birth certificate is an apology from the Condom factory. You must have been born on the highway because that’s where most accidents happen. And your calling me names, then shut up you’ll never be the man your mother was. Your face, it looks like it set on fire and someone tried to put it out with a fork. If you were twice as smart, you’d still be stupid.
You must be the Arithmetic man, you add trouble, subtract pleasure, divide attention, and multiply ignorance. We all sprang from apes, but you didn’t spring far enough. I hear when you were a fat baby, your mother wanted to hire someone to take care of you, but the mafia wanted too much. You are so ugly that when your mom drops you off at a store, she gets a fine for littering.
You’re so ugly that Hello Kitty said goodbye to you. I would ask how old you were, but I couldn’t count that high. When you were born, the police arrested your dad, the doctor slapped your mom, animal control euthanized your brother, and A&E made a documentary that saved your life. You are so ugly that when you pooped out of your mom, the doctor said, “Aww, what a treasure,” and your mom said “Yeah, let’s bury it,”. If you really want to know about mistakes, ask your parents. Can I borrow your face?, my behind is on vacation.
Your momma’s so fat that she has other fat people orbiting around her. Ever since I’ve seen you in your family tree, I’ve wanted to cut it down. And whenever you yell at me and Billy, shut that hole in your face and give it a chance to heal. Oh, and you may say Billy’s fat, but your ugly and he can diet. You’re so stupid that so stupid that the M&M factory fired you for throwing out all of the W’s.
Is that your face?, because it look like your neck threw up. Who’s the best comedy team?, ME?, it has to be your parents because they made the biggest joke. Your momma’s so fat that when she stood on a scale, the doctor went, “Hey, that’s my phone number!”. Your parents hated you so much that your bath toys were a radio and a toaster. You’re so ugly that you turned Medusa to stone. Your face looks like a pizza, with the cheese torn off! Your house is so small that when you ordered a large pizza, you had to eat it outside!
See Woody, I can tell you so many things, you’re nothing, you should go on ebay and see if they have a life for sale,” Packie told Woody.
Everyone stood impressed and started to applaud Packie. Woody and Kate were frozen in place.
Everyone came up to Packie and gave him a slap on the back and shook his hand.
“I’ll get you!” Woody screamed at him running to him.
Billy then jumped in front of Woody and punched him in the face. Woody fell to the ground groaning.
“Payback!” Billy yelled at Woody. Dianna then hugged Billy and kissed him on the cheek. Billy blushed.
Billy then saw Packie. He ran and hugged him.
“Even though I didn’t understand a word you just said to Woody, I sounds like it was good,” Billy said to him.
Packie then laughed. Packie then slapped Collin and Eugene high fives.
Packie then saw Mary smiling. She ran up to him and kissed him. Packie then almost fainted because he was so love struck.
The bell then rang and everyone went inside.
Soon after that, Packie and Billy became the most popular kids in school. Collin, Eugene, Mary, and Dianna became super popular too, even though Eugene was a freak. Woody and Kate became losers at the school and the most unpopular kids at the school.
Packie and Billy just knew that they would run into more mayhem throughout the school year.

Eleven

My name is Ian. One of the most scariest things that’s ever happened to me was last year. I was in 6th grade and I was going to detention for putting firecrackers in the principal’s drawers with my friends. I will tell you what happened during detention.
I had to go on a Saturday night at 8:00 and had to stay there until midnight, awful right?
My mom drove me and my sister, Taylor to detention angrily. Taylor was 2 years younger than me and a trouble maker. She helped me and my friends put the fire crackers in the principal’s desk.
My mom dropped us off at school. She had a disappointed look on her face. Taylor and I got out of the car and walked towards the entrance.
“Man, mom looked mad,” Taylor brought up kicking a rock.
“Yeah, we shouldn’t of played that prank, and Daniel shouldn’t of been a wuss and start to cry and admit everything,” I growled.
“Yeah, he’s a wuss,” Taylor acknowledged.
We walked into the empty school and walked to the detention room. No one was in the school except for the detention kids. We then got to the room and opened the door.
A mean guy teacher named Mr. Anderson was watching us. He slightly turned his head and looked at Taylor and I. Mr. Anderson just got his job here 2 days ago and is already the most hated teacher in the school.
“Take a seat,” he growled at us.
I saw a bunch of my friends sitting down bored. I saw Brian, a know it all kid who’s on my swim team. Jason, Brian’s little brother who’s cool. Trey, the fastest kid on my track team. Mary, a pretty girl who’s on my swim team too. Eric, a kid on my baseball team. Zack, Eric’s little brother who’s my best friend. Seth, a kid in my class. William, a kid I’ve known since age 2. And Daniel, William’s little brother. 11 of us.
I took a seat between Seth and William. They looked like they were going to fall asleep.
“Hey guys,” I whispered to them.
“Hey, you hear the news earlier?” William asked me.
“No, what?”
“Killers from the Lorton Prison escaped about 4 days ago,” Seth whispered.
“Hey! Be quiet!” Mr. Anderson shouted at us burying his head back in his book.
We sighed and I just layed my head on the desk bored. All of the sudden the lights started to flicker.
We all looked up at the lights.
“Hey, what’s going on?” Eric asked.
“Shut up! I’m going to check the fuse box,” Mr. Anderson growled running out of the room.
We all started to talk.
“Let’s escape!” Zack laughed.
“This is so boring, I rather get shot then stay here any longer,” Mary groaned.
The lights kept on flickering.
“It would be cool if there was a blackout,” Trey said.
All of the sudden the lights went out and all I could see was black. I got kind of scared.
“Hey Trey, your wish came true,” I laughed over to him.
All of the sudden we heard Mr. Anderson scream and plead. We all got scared.
“What was that?” Daniel gasped.
All of the sudden we heard footsteps coming towards us.
“Uh, Mr. Anderson?” Jason asked.
All of the sudden I heard a struggle beside me and I heard Seth scream but the scream then faded away and I heard footsteps running towards me.
Someone then bumped me over and I fell to the ground. I groaned.
The lights then came back on. We looked around in horror and saw Seth gone and saw his desk gone!
We all gasped. I stood up and same with everyone else.
“Where’s Seth?!” William screamed.
“Guys, look!” Taylor screamed looking at the detention list.
We all walked over to her and saw Seth’s name crossed out with blood.
We looked in horror.
“Maybe Seth is playing a joke,” Zack suggested.
“Seth doesn’t play jokes,” Brian replied.
I then got the phone and tried to call someone but the line was cut.
“Let’s just go out the door the main door and get the police,” Eric suggested.
“Okay,” we all agreed.
We walked out of the detention room and walked towards the door.
Eric went out first and I was about to open the door until a person who’s face was hidden with a black cloak jumped down and attacked Eric!
We all screamed and stepped back.
“What’s going on?!” Daniel screamed.
Eric was then dragged off out of sight. I walked closer to the door with William and Brian but the guy came back and chained the door locked.
We gasped and stepped back. The guy then left out of sight.
“Let’s go out the window,” Jason suggested pointing to a window. We turned our heads to the window but it was high up.
“Hey, give me a boost,” Trey told us.
“Okay,” we all agreed.
We gave Trey a boost and he got on the ledge by the window. He looked at the window.
“It’s open,” Trey told us. But all of the sudden a hand grabbed Trey and pulled him out the window!
We screamed and stepped back. It was too high so we couldn’t see who was doing it.
The hand then closed the window and we heard a click.
“Oh my god, what’s going on?!” Jason screamed.
A voice then came on the school speaker. A cold voice started to talk.
“You guys will all be gone in an hour, just be prepared for more fun,” the voice told.
We all gasped.
“We got to find a way out of here,” Taylor gasped.
“How though?” Zack asked.
“Wait, the air vent, the roof, we can escape that way, we crawl through the air vents and get on the roof, and crawl down the ladder and get the cops,” Mary suggested.
“Good idea,” Daniel commented.
“Where’s the entrance to the vents anyways?” Brian asked,
I thought and remember hearing from friends that the entrance is in the janitor’s closet.
“It’s in the janitor’s closet,” I answered.
“Okay, I want to find the person that took my brother,” Zack said to us.
We walked to the janitor’s closet and saw it closed. Zack, Brian, and I kicked the door open.
We saw a bunch of janitor suits hung up and vacuums and trash cans everywhere.
“Okay, there’s the entrance,” Jason said pointing to the entrance.
“Okay, let’s get out of here,” Taylor said walking by a suit. All of the sudden, a face popped out of the suit and his arm grabbed onto Taylor and started to attack Taylor!
We screamed and I tried to go help Taylor but she was dragged off into the hallway!
The 7 of us screamed. Only Zack, Jason, William, Daniel, Mary, Brian, and I were left.
“Open up the vent!” Mary screamed at Brian who was trying to open the vent.
Brian then opened the vent. “Got it!” he cheered.
Brian then started to crawl through the vent. I heard footsteps coming towards us outside in the hall.
I quickly ran over and locked the door. Someone started to bang on the door. I gulped.
“Everyone, get in the vent!” I screamed running over to the vent.
Brian, Mary, Zack, and Jason were already crawling through the vent.
William, Daniel, and I were still outside.
“Ian, get in the vent!” William yelled to me.
I then started to crawl through the vent. I then heard someone break down the door.
William and Daniel then started to crawl through the vent with me. All of the sudden, Daniel was pulled out of the vent screaming!
“Daniel!” William screamed.
“Come on!” I screamed crawling and catching up with Jason. William followed.
The person didn’t pursue us.
“What happened?” Brian called from the front.
“He or she took Daniel!” William cried.
“Oh dang!” Zack screamed.
“Come on, let’s keep going, we’re almost near the roof,” Mary said biting her nails.
We kept on crawling and saw a room below. When Zack was crawling above it a person in a ski mask broke through the vent and pulled Zack down!
“Zackkkkkk!” we all screamed.
Brian and Mary got to the entrance to the roof which was above them but Jason, William and I were on the other side of the hand.
Jason was the one in front of us. He kicked the hand away and the hand lowered down. Jason and William then started to crawl over the room but the hand grabbed both of their feet and tried to pull them down but they grabbed onto a handle in the vent.
I gasped and grabbed onto both of their hands and tried to pull them from the guy.
Brian and Mary gasped and came over and helped me out.
“Help!” William and Jason both screamed.
The guy really pulled and then fell down and pulled Jason down with him and William was about to fall until I grabbed onto his hand.
“Pull me up!” William screamed.
Brian, Mary, and I pulled William up with lot’s of might and got him up.
“Come on! Let’s get to the roof!” Mary screamed.
The 4 of us crawled towards the roof and opened the vent and climbed on top of the roof.
We then got up and closed the vent. We lyed down gasping. Only Mary, William, Brian, and I were left.
“W-who is doing this?” Mary gasped curled up in a ball
“I don’t know, but we’re going to find out,” William replied standing up.
“Yes, let’s get out of here,” I agreed. We got up and went over to the ladder. The ladder was pulled off!
We gasped. “Oooo, that little sneak!” Brian roared.
Mary was just standing in place in horror. “He’s always one step ahead,”
William and I tried to open the vent put it was locked.
“Nooo!” I screamed in anger.
Mary and Brian turned around. “What?” they both asked.
“The vent is locked!” William cried. Brian and Mary sighed.
I looked down at the ground and it was too far to jump, but there was a ledge that we could climb down.
I turned around and saw the 3 of them standing around thinking. William was trying to open the vent crouched. Mary was still curled up in a ball. And Brian was walking around kicking a rock sighing.
“Guys, there’s a ledge we can climb down,” I told them.
They then looked at the ledge.
“Okay, let’s go,” Mary said jumping on the ledge. She started to climb down.
It was actually a pretty far jump and we didn’t see how Mary made it so easily.
“Uh, ladies first,” Brian and William said looking at me.
I sighed and jumped and landed on the ledge but almost fell and I was dangling on the ledge.
I gasped and got my feet on the ledge and started to climb down with Mary.
“What’s taking Brian and William?” Mary called from below me.
“They’re chickens!” I laughed.
“No we’re not!” Brian roared jumping to the ledge.
He landed on it groaning but better than I did. He started to climb down too.
We looked up at William who was about to jump. He then started to run to jump but all of the sudden, someone in a ski mask grabbed William and pulled him out of sight!
Mary, Brian, and I screamed and climbed down faster and soon got to the bottom.
“Come on, let’s get the cops!” Mary gasped.
Only Mary, Brian, and I were left. We walked towards the front of the school and were going to get the cops.
“Only the 3 of us are left,” I gulped.
“Yeah, we have to get the cops and search for everyone in school, is they’re alive,” Brian shivered.
We got to the front of the school and were about to cross the parking lost until we saw a black van across the road facing us.
We could only see the driver’s shadow because it was like midnight.
“W-who is that?” I stuttered stepping back with Mary and Brian nervously.
“Come on, let’s run around this freak!” Mary said confidently.
The van’s horn then beeped loud towards us and the headlights turned on towards us.
We covered are ears in horror stepping back towards the school. The van then started and started to drive towards us!
“Run!” Brian screamed running towards the glass door entrance with us.
The van was getting closer to us!
We were taking the chain off the door. “Come on, let’s open the dang door!” Mary screamed.
No running around the van now, are only chance was getting in the school.
We then got the chain off and ran into the school screaming. The van then crashed through the glass door and glass shattered everywhere.
Mary, Brian, and I dove for it and if we didn’t, we would’ve been run over.
I hit the ground groaning. I then looked behind me and saw the van stopped but the front of the van was only inches away from my face! My legs were under the van when it stopped and the van almost hit my face.
I crawled back in horror and stood up with Mary and Brian looking at the van.
The driver who had a ski mask on, was knocked out and his head was laying down on the wheel.
“Come on guys, let’s go to the back door and see if it’s unlocked,” Mary said to us.
But Brian and I ignored and walked towards the driver.
“Let’s take off the mask, we’ll know who it is, it’ll be over,” I said to them reaching for his mask.
“Oh my god,” Mary and Brian gasped putting their hands over their mouths in horror.
I then touched his face but his hand then grabbed onto me. I almost died of fright.
Mary and Brian screamed.
“Time to die kid,” the guy roared.
I screamed and bit his hand. He screamed in pain and let go. “Run!” I screamed running away!
The 3 of us ran into the detention room and locked the door in horror.
We started gasping in horror. “S-soon we’ll all be gone,” Mary gasped.
Brian lied against the window in horror. I looked at the detention list.
It had a bunch of red lines all over the paper. I walked towards the list and ripped it off the wall and looked at it.
I then gasped. Everyone who was taken was crossed out in blood. Mary and Brian looked over.
“What?” Mary asked running over to me. Brian stayed where he was against the window.
I pointed to the paper. “Everyone who was taken name’s crossed out,” I explained.
“Example, see this, Seth is crossed out, Eric is crossed out, Trey is crossed out, Taylor is crossed out, Daniel is crossed out, Zack is crossed out, Jason is crossed out, William is crossed out and- I couldn’t finish explaining because Mary and I froze in place.
“What’s wrong?” Brian asked against the window.
It showed that Brian was crossed out also. We turned around and saw him against the window.
“Brian, get away from the window,” I said with my hand out walking over to him.
“What?” Brian asked. But the second after Brian said that, a hand crashed through the window and pulled Brian out!
Mary and I screamed and tried to open the door but someone started to bang on the door.
We gasped and stepped back. No other way out. We hugged each other bracing ourselves.
The door was then smashed open and William came in limping and had a hard time keeping his balance.
“William?” Mary asked.
“Helppp,” William silently groaned. He then fell down face first and a knife was stuck in his back!
Mary and I screamed.
Brian then walked in all bloody and fell down near William. “Nooo!” Mary and I screamed.
People with ski masks then came in with ropes and knives. Mary and I closed our eyes preparing for it but laughter then happened.
We then heard laughter. We opened our eyes and saw the people in the ski masks laughing and William and Brian got up laughing.
Mary and I got up with a weird look on our faces. “What’s going on?” we asked.
“It was all a joke, I wasn’t dead, look, corn syrup,” Brian showed us.
William took the fake knife of his back. Trey, Eric, Seth, Taylor, Daniel, Jason, and Zack then came out.
“W-what happened?” I asked.
“I’ll explain,” Trey said.
“Well, it was detention today, and I was super bummed, so I decided to make “Detention” fun. So I got my cousins,”
“Hi,” the guys in the ski mask greeted.
Trey continued. “So I told them to take us one by one and cross our names out with corn syrup. They agreed and I waited in detention for the lights to go out. When they did I smiled and waited for them to take someone. One of my cousins got the detention teacher but he didn’t cooperate and threatened to call the police as my cousins told me, so they tied him up in the storage closet who we’re going to have to get out soon, and we’re probably going to get in trouble, but anyways I then heard Seth scream and I smiled. My cousins must have bumped you over, Ian, while running out.
So my cousins got Seth and we explained to him what was going on so he joined us in trying to take the rest of you.
We knew that you guys were going to walk outside, so one of my cousins were already out there and got Eric and dragged him to our little hideout outside by the playground and explained to him what was happening and we got him to help out.
I then decided that my kidnapping would be next. I got on the ledge and gave a thumbs up to my cousin and he grabbed me outside.
In the janitor’s closet, my cousins were waiting for you and grabbed Taylor and dragged her off.
The vent was our jack pot, we then got Daniel, Zack, and Jason and told them to help out.
When you got on the roof, we locked the vent and unhooked the ladder.
We then saw that you were climbing down the ledge. So Zack, Seth, and I unhooked the vent and snuck behind William and before he jumped, we grabbed him and dragged him to our hideout and he started to help out.
When you guys were walking to the front of the school, my cousin was in his van and beeped his horn at you and started to drive to you. Now we were obviously not going to run you over, my cousin is a really good driver for a 20 year old. He could tell if you would make it in or not, he would know when to hit the brakes. He then crashed through the glass windows and hit the brakes and pretended to be knocked out. When you, Ian, grabbed his mask, he grabbed your hand and tried to take you but you bit his hand, which he’s not mad about.
You 3 then ran into the detention room and we saw the perfect chance when Brian leaned against the window, we then grabbed him and pulled him out while another one of my cousins banged on the door.
We quickly explained to Brian what was going on and told him to get the corn syrup on.
Him and William walked in the room and pretended to die. That’s the story,” Trey told.
“S-so this was a joke the whole time?” Mary asked.
“Yep,” Zack answered.
“But, won’t your cousins be arrested for driving through the school and tying up a teacher?” I asked.
“We’re really rich and we know how to build things, we can rebuild the glass door before morning and bribe the teacher with 1,000’s of dollars,” one of Trey’s cousins answered.
“What about the killers from the prison, that didn’t have anything to do with this?” Mary asked.
“Heck no!” they all said.
We then heard a gun load and we looked over and saw Mr. Anderson pointing a Desert Eagle at all of us. We all gasped and stepped back against the wall.
“Wh-what’re you doing?” Jason gasped.
“For your information, I was one of those killers that escaped from prison the other day, than I got a job here to start a new life, but now that someone has tied me up, oh, you’re all going to be dead in the next 5 minutes,” Mr. Anderson laughed.
We all screamed at the top of our lungs.

Haunted Neighborhood

There has been a terrible piece of history that has happened in my neighborhood. About 35 years ago in this very neighborhood on Halloween night, a murder took place. 7 kids were trick- r -treating. The kids knocked on a stranger’s door that was in the middle of the woods. The guy came to the door and said that he was going to get candy from the pantry and said that the kids could come in. When they got in the house was abandoned and it seemed that no one had set foot in the house in years. The guy turned out to be a child murderer and knocked the kids out.
He brought them out of the abandoned house and threw them in the back of his van and tied them up. He then drove towards the lake in the woods. The lake was in a huge trench that went down 40 feet. The lake was 2,000 feet deep. The killer drove towards the trench and jumped out of his van and landed safely and the van went off the trench and into the water.
One of the kids got out of his ropes and knocked the window open and started to breath in the tire air so the killer wouldn’t see him when he swam up to take a breath. The killer then left and the kid swam up while the rest of the kids drowned.
He got the police and the police could never find the killer. That is the most horrifying thing that has ever happened in my neighborhood. I will tell you how me and my friends encountered with this horrifying tail.

My friend Daniel and I went outside and ran down to the woods. We had a hammer and nails. We were going to work on a fort of ours. Daniel was 2 years younger than me and was cool but kind of a wuss.
It was October and Halloween is tomorrow. Every step we took you heard autumn leaves going Crunch, Crunch, Crunch.
We then got into the woods and stopped running and started to walk.
“So what’re you going to be this Halloween?” Daniel asked me trying to step on leaves.
“You,” I laughed.
“Shut up, really, what’re you going to be, I’m going to be goblin,” Daniel said.
“I don’t know, this’ll probably be my last year of trick r treating, something exciting,” I replied.
“Well, I’m only in it for the candy,” Daniel said.
An old guy in are neighborhood named Mr. Moore walked by us. He was really nice.
“Hey boys, what’re you up to?” Mr. Moore asked us.
“We’re going to work on our own fort,” I told him.
“Cool, boys, see you around,” Mr. Moore said walking away. Daniel and I kept on walking.
We then got to our fort. It was near the trench where the lake was where the van massacre happened.
“Gee, why’d we have to make the fort near this trench, it gives me the creeps,” Daniel shivered starting to work on the fort.
“Want to come here on Halloween with William and Mary to pay respects to the kids?” I asked looking over at the trench.
“No way! I’m too afraid!”
I then saw an old mobile home near the trench. It had weeds growing out of it and was so ugly looking.
“Hey come on, let’s check it out,” I said to Daniel walking towards the trench.
“No!” Daniel cried.
“Come on,” I said to him.
Daniel then sighed and followed me. Daniel didn’t like being left alone.
I looked down the trench kind of scared. I saw a big lake with black water.
I gulped. Daniel then came by my side and looked down nervously.
“Can we go now?” Daniel asked looking around.
“Hey, it’s daytime, it’s not that scary,” I said to him.
“Please, can we go?” Daniel begged.
I just ignored him. “Divers couldn’t find the van, because people say it sunk so freaking deep into a trench underwater, the bodies were never found, neither was the killer,”
“Now you’re scaring me even more,” Daniel whined. I then rolled my eyes and walked towards the old mobile home.
“What’re you doing now?” Daniel asked following me into the house.
I saw a bunch of drawn pictures on the old walls. There was a picture of monsters eating people alive.
“This is too creepy,” Daniel gulped stepping back. He then tripped over a weed and crashed through the wall because it was so beat up and was about to fall down the trench until he grabbed onto a rock. He was screaming so loud!
“Help!” Daniel screamed dangling.
I then gasped and dove forward and grabbed onto him. I then pulled him up.
Daniel then curled up in a ball shaking. “Can we go now?”
I then heard voices in the trench. I started to get scared. They were echoes. “Help us, help us, we’re drowning,” one echo said below.
“What was that?” Daniel then gasped.
“We want fooooooood, we’re hungryyyyyyyy,” another echo said.
“Let’s get out of here!” Daniel gasped.
I then finally agreed. Daniel started to run but I then saw an old wooden ladder that we could go down later.
“Come on!” Daniel called.
I then started to run but then tripped over a book. I looked at it and it said diary. I put it in my pocket and started to run off with Daniel.
We ran all the way home and went inside Daniel’s house. We sat down and watched some TV gasping.
“What was that?” Daniel gasped.
“I don’t know, but I’m going back there tonight with you and some other friends,” I then told him.
“Are you nuts?”
“Maybe, but I want to know what that was,”
“You can but I’m not!”
“Fine, I’ll get William,” I then said.
I ran upstairs. William was Daniel’s bigger brother who was my age and really brave.
I ran in his room and he was playing cards with a friend of mine named Brian, who is a know it all but is still really cool, Evan, a pudgy kid my age who’s kind of a jerk, and Mary, a girl who is 13 and has blonde hair and blue eyes and who I think is really pretty but I don’t tell anyone that.
“Hey Ian, what’s happening?” William asked me looking up putting down another card.
“Guys, you wouldn’t believe what happened at that trench today, I heard voices with Daniel and found this diary,” I told them.
“No way, you lie,” Evan said.
“Yeah, well let’s hear the diary,” I then said sitting down.
“Where’d you find the diary anyways?” Mary asked.
“The Mobile Home by the trench,” I answered.
“Well, let’s hear the diary,” Brian urged.
I then started to read the old cover. “Diary of Derrick M. Boccino,” I then turned to the first page.
“I hear them every night, they whisper things to my head, they say that they want food, humans, and they say that they will spare me for food, I went out at nights, capturing people, and I would make a ladder and bring them down to the trench onto the sand by the water. I would call the kids out with my curse, they whisper the curse to me every night, and the curse works between 7 PM and 12 AM.
I call Grip-Grap-Greep, they then rise and eat the person alive.

October 31, 1992

I have upset the kids, I have forgot to feed them the past days, I am going to see them tonight to apologize,” I read.
We all looked at each other in horror.
“You really found that in the mobile home?” Mary asked biting her nails.
“Yep,” I replied.
“We’re going to the trench tonight to see if that “Curse” is really true,” William said.
“No, I’m too scared,” Evan whined.
“Chicken,” Brian laughed.
“Fine, I’ll go!”
“Okay, let’s go tonight,” I then said. They all shook their heads in agreement.

I went home and told my mom that I was having a sleepover at William’s.
Later, at 8:00, we met at William’s driveway. “Okay, so we going to the trench now?” Brian then began.
“Yep, and I got flashlights too,” William told passing us flashlights.
“Let’s do this,” Mary then said turning her flashlight on and aiming it at things.
We started walking into the woods. “I’m scared,” Evan whined.
“Shut up, Evan, you’re acting like Daniel,” I told him.
“How’d Daniel handle the trench?” Brian giggled. I laughed thinking about it.
“He handles it awful, he was whining about getting out of there the whole time,” I told laughing.
“Just like Evan, usually,” Mary laughed.
“Shut up! I live closest to the woods, the woods are my backyard! The trench is pretty close to my house!” Evan yelled.
We then got to the trench and walked towards it and looked down.
“How’re we going to get down there?” Brian asked.
“There’s a ladder I found behind the mobile home,” I said walking behind the mobile home and seeing the wooden ladder.
“Who’s going first?” William asked.
We all looked at Mary. Mary rolled her eyes and sighed. “Yes, I know, I’m oldest and lady’s first,”
She started going down the ladder. I got on next and started to climb down. The ladder was creaky and weak. William, Brian, and Evan followed.
“Is this ladder safe to go on?” Evan asked while going down.
“Sure it is,” I answered close to the bottom. A crack happened and one of the bars on the ladder fell. I gasped and almost fell until I grabbed onto another bar. I pulled myself onto the bar.
“You okay?” Mary called who was already on the sandy bottom.
“Yeah,” I answered continuing to climb down. I got to the bottom and it was all sand and about 70 feet away was the lake.
William, Brian, and Evan then made it to the bottom. We started to walk towards the lake.
“Okay, so all we’re going to do is see if this “Curse” is really real?” I asked.
“Yep, and it’ll be a good story to tell everyone at school that we went down to the lake,” William replied.
“I just want to get out of here,” Evan whined.
“So where do you think the killer went?” Mary asked us ignoring Evan.
“I don’t know, probably away from the neighborhood,” Brian answered.
“Well what about the surviving kid, he’s obviously an adult now, where’s he?” I asked.
“Who knows,” William said.
Mary then tripped over something and she landed on a skeletion! Spiders started crawling in her blonde hair!
She screamed and hugged Brian in horror. Brian smiled. “Nice,”
We then stepped back gasping. The skeletion looked about 20 years old and it had a hat on.
I carefully reached forward and picked up his wallet. It had spiders all over it. I rubbed it off and looked in it for his ID.
“What was his name?” Mary gasped.
I took out his ID and it said Derrick Boccino! I gasped. “Who is it?” William asked walking forward.
“It’s the writer of the diary, when he said that the kids were mad at him, he must have been eaten,” I said.
Evan gasped. “So it is real!”
“That doesn’t mean it’s real, he might have been bitten by a snake or something,” Brian suggested.
“Let’s just go see the lake,” Mary said starting to walk and getting scared.
We followed and saw the old lake. Mist was everywhere. William got a closer look but tripped over a root and fell in the water.
William gasped but Brian and I giggled.
“Need a little help?” Brian laughed.
“Shut up,” William growled all wet. “I hit metal or something,”
“Metal, what do you mean?” I asked.
“I don’t know, really,”
A brown van then floated up out of the water! It had cracked windows and tons of seaweed and fish inside it! We screamed and tripped back.
“It’s the van!” Mary screamed.
William then got out the book. “Let’s just see if this is real, Grip-Grap-Greep,”
We gasped and started to shake. Nothing happened. We then got up.
“See nothing happened!” Brian then told us walking in front of us near the lake.
All of the sudden an old wet and pale hand came out of the sand and grabbed onto Brian’s foot! Brian screamed and fell down!
“What the heck!” he screamed.
William, Mary, and I started to help him. Evan just watched in horror.
“Pull harder!” Mary screamed.
We then pulled harder and pulled Brian off the hand, but didn’t only pull Brian, but we pulled off the hand too! We threw the hand off.
6 kids in very old and creepy costumes walked out of the water limping towards us whispering things.
“Hungry,” one in a devil costume whispered.
We screamed and started to run towards the ladder with Evan. The monster kids started sprinting after us!
“Run!” Evan screamed getting on the ladder first. He started to climb. Mary, Brian, William, and I jumped on and started to climb. I looked down and saw one get out a knife. They started to cut the rope. I screamed.
“Jump on the cliff!” I screamed jumping on it.
The ladder was then cut and the ladder started to fall! Mary, Brian, and William gasped and jumped on the cliff but Evan was too late and he fell screaming into the monsters! The monsters caught him and they surrounded him and started to do something to him that I couldn’t see! Evan was screaming to death!
“Climb!” Mary screamed starting to climb the cliff. We got to the top and started to run screaming to William’s house.
We then got to his house and opened and slammed the door shut. We fell to the ground gasping.
“Evan was eaten!” Brian screamed.
“Let’s call the police,” Mary suggested.
“No, they’ll think we’re crazy, and Brian, I think Evan is still alive, I feel it,” I gasped.
Daniel then walked down the steps in his PJ’s. “What happened?”
“Is mom home?” William gasped.
“No, she’s on a business trip, why?” Daniel asked.
We got up. “Monster kids in costumes from the trench attacked us and ate Evan!” Mary screamed.
“You all lie, stop trying to scare me,” Daniel growled but still looked scared.
We then saw the front door knob just start to turn but the door was locked and there was no windows near the door so we didn’t know who it was. The knob started to turn over and over again.
We gasped and stepped back towards the steps. We then heard a whisper. “Hungry,”
We screamed and ran up the steps to William’s room. We looked out the window. No one was there.
“You believe us now?” we asked Daniel. Daniel then shook his head in horror still looking out the window.
“Let’s sleep over here tonight,” Mary then suggested.
“Well, we were going to do that anyways,” Brian told her getting his sleeping bag out.
“What will we tell Evan’s parents?” William asked scared.
“Look I can almost feel that Evan isn’t dead, and we’re going to stop these things until we tell anyone, they’re only kids,” I answered.
“I agree,” Mary agreed.
“Okay, we’re going to get these tomorrow,” Brian said.
“Well I’m not, I don’t want to be killed,” Daniel whined.
“You’re such a wuss, you don’t want to save people’s lives in this neighborhood?” William asked.
“No, not if it risks my life,” Daniel replied.
“Guys, stop fighting!” Mary yelled to them.
I got out the diary. “Let’s read some more of this,” I said to them.
I flipped to a random page and saw that it was dated May 21, 1990.
I started to read it. “These kids are smart, they know, that once they kill their killer, their souls are free, I help them find the kidnapper but always get the wrong guy, when they kill their killer, their souls will be free. They can hypnotize someone to help them out without other people noticing,”
“Whoa, so they can hypnotize one of us without either of us knowing,” Brian gulped.
“Let’s just go to sleep, we’ll have someone guarding each time with baseball bats that I have in the closet,” William suggested.
We then all took turns guarding that night. We then woke up that next day. I barely got any sleep that night because I kept on having nightmares about the kids.
“Come on, let’s get breakfast,” William said walking downstairs.
Brian and Daniel followed but Mary and I had trouble getting up. She stayed in her sleeping bag.
“Nightmares too?” she asked.
“Yep,” I answered.
“Guys! There’s cops everywhere outside, come on!” Daniel called from downstairs.
Mary and I then got up gasping and ran downstairs. We saw cops across the street from us at a house. It was Mr and Mrs Smith’s house. They were old grouchy people.
We ran outside and saw them pushing stretchers out with blankets over them with something under the blankets, dead bodies!
“Oh my god!” Daniel gasped barfing in bushes.
I saw Mr. Moore. I ran to him.
“What happened?” I asked him.
"A few guys who haven’t been identified who broke into their house last night and ate them!" Mr. Moore told.
I gasped and stepped back in horror. “What happened?” Brian asked.
“They were eaten by the kids,” I gulped.
William, Daniel, Mary, and Brian gasped. “We have to find them,” William gulped.
We then walked back to William’s house in horror. We just got breakfast. I got cereal, same with Daniel. William had waffles. And Mary and Brian had a bagel.
“I think the kids aren’t just hungry, they want to kill random people in the neighborhood because they think they were their killer,” I suggested.
“They’re just zombies really, they want their souls freed,” Mary said.
I then saw a mark on William’s neck that showed some kind of symbol. It looked like a waterfall.
“Wait William, there’s some kind of waterfall symbol on your neck,” I then told him getting a closer look at him.
“Hey what’re you doing?” William asked alarmed.
Mary, Daniel, and Brian looked closely too. “He’s right,” Daniel brought up.
William looked directly at my neck in horror. He pointed to it. “You have it too,” William told me.
Everyone then looked at my neck. I then looked at Mary’s neck and it had the symbol on her neck. I pointed to her neck. Everyone looked at her neck.
We then saw one on Brian’s neck and Daniel’s.
“Okay, what’s going on?” I asked as we all stepped back.
I then looked in the diary and saw the sign! “Wait, I see the sign in the book, the sign means one of us has been hypnotized to be a partner with the kid monsters, but we can’t tell who it is,” I then read in horror.
We then all stood away from each other.
“Who the heck was guarding when the kids came in?” William asked in horror looking at all of us.
“Well whoever was is the hypnotized person,” I gulped.
“Then who is it?” Brian asked in horror.
“Just all stay away from me!” Daniel screamed.
“Guys, we have to get along, let’s just calm down,” Mary said to us.
“Mary’s right, let’s just keep are distance while stopping the kids,” I agreed.
“The only question is, where are they?” William asked coming closer to us.
“Don’t know, but it’s Halloween tonight, they can blend in,” Brian replied.
“Let’s just go back near the trench, and think this out,” Mary suggested walking closer to us.
We all took turns changing in the bathroom and left.
We then walked outside and down to the woods. We kept our distances though. I know that I wasn’t the hypnotized victim, it was either William, Brian, Mary, or Daniel. It’s hard to trust anyone right now.
We then walked towards the trench and looked down into it.
“Where do you think they are now?” Daniel asked kicking a rock into the trench.
“We have to stop them by tonight,” William gulped.
“I ag-AAHHHHH!” Daniel couldn’t finish because he was bit right in the neck by Brian! Brian was the hypnotized guy! Mary, William, and I stepped back in horror and we heard voices down in the trench saying “Join us, join us!”
We then noticed we stepped back to far and fell in the trench! The 3 of us fell screaming.
We then landed in water. I opened my eyes and saw all of the kids looking at us with an ice cold look. The 3 of us screamed underwater and swam up.
We took a breath gasping.
“Swim!” William screamed.
Mary then screamed and was pulled underwater. We still heard voices everywhere saying “Join us, join us”
William and I gasped and swam underwater and saw she being pulled into a cave inside pieces of the cliff underwater.
William and I swam after her and swam into the underwater cave. It was so freaking dark.
William then got out a flashlight and turned it on underwater and we saw all of the kids standing around Mary, William, and I.
We screamed and swam as fast as we could out of the cave. We then came up for a breath. We gasped in so much air.
“Swim!” William screamed.
We swam so freaking fast to the shore where Evan was taken. We go out of the water and ran to cliff.
The kids then walked out of the water in their costumes. “Hungry,” they whispered starting to sprint after us.
It started to get dark. We jumped on the cliff and climbed so fast! We got to the top and ran for it until we got to the street.
We were gasping looking back.
“Thank you guys so much for saving me,” Mary thanked smiling at us.
“Yeah, well it’s getting dark, this isn’t good, trick r treaters,” I gulped.
Trick R Treaters were walking by us. We then saw two of the kid monsters! We screamed.
They looked at us. “Hey, you okay?” one asked.
We then looked at them closely. They were only Trick R Treaters. We looked ashamed.
“Sorry,” William apologized as they walked off.
“We got to control ourselves,” Mary said to us.
All of the sudden a hand came out of the sewer we were near and pulled William right into the sewer.
Mary and I screamed. We looked into the sewer but could only hear William’s scream go silent.
Mary and I then got into tears and decided to tell someone. We ran to Mr. Moore’s house because his house was closest.
We then rang his doorbell in horror. He then came to the door.
“Yes kids, want candy, wait, why’re you all wet?” he asked us putting the candy bucket down.
“We got a lot to admit, the kids from the Halloween massacre have returned, and they’re hungry, they won’t stop till they find and kill the killer!” I screamed.
“It’s true,” Mary added.
Mr. Moore smiled. “Is that right?”
He then got out a baseball bat and smacked me right in the head with it. The world went dark for me.
I then heard water rushing. I then woke up groaning and saw that I was tied up to a chair near the cliff that has the trench. Mary was also tied up next to me.
I groaned and saw Mary waking up. I looked over at the trench.
“What’s going on?” Mary asked me in a weak voice.
We then heard laughing. We looked over and saw Mr. Moore with a shotgun walking in front of us!
“Wh-what’re you doing?!” I gasped.
“So, the kids are back, huh? Well guess what, I was their killer,” Mr. Moore laughed.
Mary and I gasped.
“W-what?” Mary gasped.
“That’s right, I drove them right off the cliff, I made a mistake with not watching the water for too long, so one kid escaped, and got the police, but the police could never find me, because I burned down the house they trick R treated at.
The one surviving kid moved into the mobile home near the trench. He knew that they turned into zombies or whatever the hell they are, he searched for me most of his life, but never found me. Instead, I found him first, and when he was down by the trench, I snuck up on him and stabbed him over and over, then, Derrick Boccino was dead,” Mr. Moore told.
Mary and I gasped. “So, the kids didn’t kill Derrick?” Mary asked.
“Of course they didn’t! They’re just stupid weak kids. And now, you’re my bait,” Mr. Moore laughed walking behind the old mobile home. He then shot the shotgun in the air to attract them.
Mary and I then heard roaring coming from the bottom and heard them but couldn’t see them.
Mary and I started to try and wiggle out of the ropes but couldn’t. We then whimpered nervous.
We then looked at each other and I finally notice how beautiful she was.
“Before we die, I just wanted to know that you’re beautiful,” I told her.
“I really like you Ian, you’re a great guy,” she told me.
We then kissed while the zombie kids came up with hypnotized Brian.
We then pulled away and braced ourselves. We saw 3 of the zombie kids and hypnotized Brian, but we didn’t see the other 3 zombies.
They then got closer to us until we heard Mr. Moore scream from behind the mobile home.
We saw that the other 3 came up another way. They were eating Mr. Moore alive!
“Killer,” they whispered.
The others walked over to Mr. Moore and started to eat him. Even Brian was eating him.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” Mr. Moore screamed. His scream then faded away and blood started to come out of the circle of the kids.
They then got away from Mr. Moore and all we saw was his skeletion.
The kids then started to look up at the sky and started to melt but they weren’t screaming.
“Their souls are being freed!” I cheered.
Brian then screamed and he started to shake and then he dropped to the ground groaning.
The kids then melted. We watched in horror. We then saw this little white floating kid in the air appear in front of us.
“Thanks,” it whispered, then faded away.
We watched in horror. Brian then got up groaning. “Ugh, what happened, oh my god! I tried to kill my friends!”
“Brian, untie us!” we called to him.
He walked towards us in horror. He untied us. Mary and I then got up and stretched.
“Is Evan, William, and Daniel still alive?” I asked.
“Yes, and they’re in pretty good condition,” Brian answered.
“Thank god, where are they?” Mary asked.
“Follow me,” Brian told us walking back into the woods.
We followed. He led us into a cave and we saw them tied up. We cheered and untied them.
Evan then got up gasping.
“I thought I was going to die,” Evan cried.
“Brian, you’re okay now!” William cheered.
“We were saved as an old snack,” Daniel gulped holding onto his bleeding neck.
“How’s your neck?” I asked him.
“It’s much better now, the wound is healing by itself,” Daniel answered.
“What happened?” William gasped.
Mary and I told everything that happened.
Evan, William, and Daniel then looked at each other in horror.
“So what now?” Evan asked.
“Let’s go trick r treating!” Daniel then cheered.
“Yeah!” we all cheered.
We then all went trick r treating and got the most candy I’ve ever gotten.
But the best part of the night, was saving my friends.
