I look all around... Everywhere I look is a body covered in blood... Why did it always happen at parties... Why always on Halloween...

Parties, I hated them to be honest with you, but this year I need to plan the fright party for Halloween. What even happens at a fright party? I've never been to one, so why pick me to plan it. I was so confused why it was me who was planning it and not my twin brother, who went to parties all the time. I spent all day in my room trying to think of what to do for the fright party, it has to be good because last year everyone got so scared they didn't want to sleep for about a week after (that is why I don't go to parties).

About an hour after I started planning, my brother came in and asked "Would you like help with that?"

"Yeah, what happens at parties?" I asked Dean. His eyes locked with mine. Dean and myself have matching eyes and hair colour, we both have bright, electric blue eyes and them same bright blonde curly hair (only mine is longer than Dean's hair is), these key features are how people know that we are twins. "You really are a loner, you know that right Kay!" He said to me.

"Shut up Dean!" I shouted at him

"Just telling the truth!" He said sarcastically, when he looks at me I give home the most evil state ever. He just stares at me for a few minuets before we both burst out laughing. "Okay,okay,okay. I'll help you organise the party if you promise to kiss someone there." Dean said. I looked at him as if saying 'are you Serious?' But I didn't actually say it to him, instead I said

"Fine."

"There is a catch, I get to choose who kisses you!" That time I really did say
"Are you serious Dean?"

"Yes, why yes I am Kay."

"Fine, you can choose who kisses me."

We shake hands and then we get to planning the party right away. The first thing we do is go to the kitchen and make food and drinks, we make pink jelly to represent brains, made strawberry milkshake and dyed it red to represent blood, we also made cake pops and decorated them to look like eyeballs finally we made cakes that looked like cut off hands and feet with thick red icing on the ends of them. After we made the food and drinks we make the invitations with blood splattered all over the page and all the information written in a dark red with a pair of creepy yellow eyes in the centre just looking at you. We went and posted the invitations to every teenager in the village. I checked the clock to see how much longer we had to get the mansion ready. We were holding the party at an abandoned mansion and we were going to prank all the quests who where there by the time midnight struck.

As we approached the mansion I start to feel as if this is a bad idea, as the idea struck I wanted to back out of the house but a cold draft blew right through me and forced me to go inside with everything. "Dean, why did we need to have the party here?"

"Because Kay, it's Halloween, it's meant to be scary!"

I guess Dean was right, it was a Halloween party for teenagers, it had to be scary, it had to be held in a scary place. Why was I so scared of a party held at an abandoned mansion? I shouldn't be, I should be excited for the party. A thought cam to my head then, we need to prank everyone. "Dean, I have the perfect idea!"

"What would that idea be Kay?"

"We prank everyone!"

Dean looks at me as if I'm crazy, then laughs like it's the best idea ever. He nods in approval and then nods again as if to tell me 'you know what you want to do, so go get the things and set it up!' I nod back at him and run out of the mansion and back to our house.

When I get back to the house the first thing I do is go to the basement to grab some rope and a load of fake blood that we keep down there, I also grab a fake knife and a punching dummy that my mum bought Dean when we turned 15. I hear a door slam open and look up to see Dean standing in front of the basement door, looking paler than usual, he also looked like he was about to throw up. "Dean, are you okay?" I ask him, he doesn't answer so I walk towards him, but he just puts his hand up to stop me. "Dean, look at me!" I plead I don't know what's wrong or what to do.
"Kay, please listen..." Dean says slowly
"Dean, I swear to god if this is a joke I'm going to kill you. This isn't funny!" I say to him.
"Kay, I'm not joking. I'm acting. There is a difference." He says as he stands up to his normal height.
"Dean, I'm going to fucking kill you! You scared the crap out of me there. Why would you do that?"
"Kay, come on, you know me, I take drama. Obviously I'm going to use those skills." He says, I just glare at him. He laughs and pulls me into an 'I'm sorry' hug.
"You are a dickhead Dean you know that right?" I ask as I hug him back.
"I know, but that's why you love me!" He replies. Dean starts laughing, I try and give him the death glare but end up laughing as well. I don't say anything else to Dean, I just hand him the rope and the boxing dummy and point to the door. I grab some more of our Halloween costume equipment and follow Dean back to the mansion.

When we get back Dean is shouting random crap. I just ignore him and start setting the prank up. I'm still not 100% sure where I want everything to go. "DEAN, GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE AND HELP!" I shout out. I hear footsteps behind me and turn around to see a boy who is about two inches too short to be Dean. "Who are you?" I ask, but the boy just ignores me and walks into the mansion. I notice something about the boy, he is limping and his eyes are dead to the world, completely white, almost as if he's dead. As he gets closer I notice his hands are covered in blood and the right half of his face is hanging off. The boy looks about nineteen years old, he shouldn't be here, this party is for people aged thirteen to eighteen only. Why is he here?

The boy stops right in front of me, I take a step back, but as I move back the boy moves forward. "Would you like to play a game?" He asks, where the hell was Dean? Who was this boy?

"W-w-who are you?" I stutter.

"Play a game with me and I'll tell you." Is all the boy replies. "The rules are simple, whoever finds the gun first wins." Gun? What bloody gun? We didn't bring a gun with us. "Play or your brother pays the price!" There is a slight echo to his voice now, makes him scarier.

"Dean, where are you? I don't want to play a game!" I scream, I could feel tears running down my cheeks. The boys eyes have changed from complete white to a pure red.
"You will play a game with me, or you and your brother die tonight!" He screams. I'm about to say something else when I hear footsteps. The boy disappears into thin air. A hand is on my back, I turn around and see Dean, "Kay, what the fuck just happened? I heard you screaming something about a game."

I shake my head to say 'nothing happened' and start to get to work on covering the dummy in fake blood and tying the rope around the dummy's neck. Dean had gone for a wander around the mansion to see if he could find anything sense to use for the pranks,bloody asshole. I feel a hand on my shoulder, but I don't turn around I just wait for whoever it is to speak. "I'm giving you until 11pm to find the gun, if you fail to look, then I will kill both you and your brother." It's the boy from earlier. What did he want? The hand left my shoulder and a gust of wind blows from behind me, causing my hair the fly around my face. I had goosebumps all the way up my arms and the hairs on the back of my neck where standing on edge.
