Jack's Night with the Bunny Man

It is Halloween night and Jack couldn't be more excited. He was able to talk his parents into letting him go out with his friends. It is going to be his first Halloween in 16 years away from his parents and siblings. He looked out his bedroom window waiting for the sun to set. The door creaked open and Jack jumped looking at the door horrified. His mom stood in the doorway and laughed, "Don't scare me like that, Mom!" He signed and face palmed. He couldn't believe he just let his mom scare him.
"You've always been a little scaredy cat, ever since you were little. I still remember when you would get scared at Santa." His mom reminisced.
"Shut up!" Jack yelled, getting embarrassed.
"I just came in here to tell you that your sisters and I are going out. Be safe with your friends and beware of the Bunny Man." She whispered the last part as she shut his door. Jack rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "I would never believe in something as stupid as the Bunny Man." Jack's parents used to tell him the story of the Bunny Man every Halloween and he would still get scared. He would never admit it but he was.
Clink Clink Clink, Jack looked at his window to see his friends waving for him to come down. There was Conan, Steffanie, and Karl. He ran down the stairs and out the door. "Jack it took you long enough we're all heading out to Bunny Man's Bridge. You down?" his friend Conan asked. Jack could feel his heart racing but on the outside he looked as if he was totally fine.
"Hell yeah I'm down, maybe our parents will find us hanging from the trees." Jack joked and everyone laughed but Steffanie.
"What's up with you Steff?" Karl punched her arm lightly, "You're not going to be a little chicken are you?" Steff just looked down in shame.
"I just don't know who the Bunny Man is." Steff stated.
"You gotta be kidding me!" Conan laughed and he couldn't believe that someone from Fairfax had never heard of the Bunny Man. That was like their bedtime stories when their parents wanted to give them a good scare. "Well Jack can tell you all about him. It's his parents favorite story."
Jack smiled and got closer to Steffanie. "It is said that there was an asylum near the bridge and the residents didn't like how close they were to the crazy people." Karl started to twitch and hysterically laugh making fun of the people in the asylum but it worked cause they all laughed. "Anyways back to the tale. So the people from the asylum were getting shipped off in a bus, but one of the buses crashed. Everyone died but 10 of them were able to escape. Out of all of the people only two of them were found: Marcus Wallster and Douglas J. Grifon. People kept finding dead bunnies everywhere-"
"They were skinned, half eaten, and hanging from the trees inside the forest." Conan interrupted.
"And when they did a search again they found Wallster skinned just like the bunnies and hanging from under the bridge." Karl finished what Conan was going to say.
"Then on Halloween night several teens were found hanging just like Wallster. So now people believe you are hanging out on this bridge on Halloween night you'll end up just like them." Jack finished the tale.
"You all are stupid. I'm not going." Steff yelled and turned around to walk herself back home.
"Bye Chicken don't let anyone or anything get you on the way home!" Karl yelled.
It wasn't long and the rest of the teens ended up on the very same bridge all of those horrible things had happened. It started off with all of them searching around. Then Karl started hopping around like a bunny. "Bunny Man come and get me!" Karl yelled as he continued to hop.
"You're really looking to die aren't you?" Jack laughed thinking that Karl was insane. Just as he finished saying that he heard the sound of a rock falling and echoing in the tunnel. He jumped and looked where the sound came from. All Jack could see was the dark silhouette of a man but they had a large bunny head. Everything went white.
Jack wakes up in his room covered in sweat. He thought to himself that it had to be a dream. He looked out his window from his bed and saw the same silhouette. Jack now believed in the Bunny Man and would never doubt his parents.
