HALLOWEEN - INFERNO

Chapter Thirteen

Cameron kicked a garbage can as hard as he could. It went flying into the street and onto it's side where it rolled and spilled all of the trash onto the road near a parked car. He turned to Allyson who had taken a step backwards and was holding one hand over her stomach, her eyes were wide after seeing the outburst from Cameron.

"Why didn't they tell us earlier!?" He asked loudly, his voice booming across the street.

"I don't know!" Allyson replied honestly. "Okay, I don't know why they didn't say anything!"

"Fuck!" He yelled. "They didn't tell me that Michael Myers is alive! After what he did!?"

Allyson didn't respond. She suffered because of Michael herself. She lost people. But he lost his father.

"I don't-"

"Just stop! Okay, Allyson. I need a minute!"

Allyson was shocked. "Cameron, I haven't done anything wrong!"

"You knew!" He stepped towards her and she stepped back. A sudden wave of fear had come over her.

"I didn't!"

"Yes you did! You had me out for dinner to keep me distracted so I didn't know that Michael was alive! God, you're so selfish Allyson!" He screamed.

She fought back the tears but stepped back, said goodbye and turned and walked across the street leaving Cameron standing there with tears in his eyes as everything he said had finally sunk into his own head. He pushed the girl he loved away. But his mind was racing about The Shape. Where was he? He thought that he might have an idea. He wanted to go back and tell Beth and Paul to lock up but he didn't have time. He had to act quickly.

He turned and ran off down the street towards Allyson's house before his next stop.

Allyson walked into the park. Cutting across would cut minutes off her trip to get back home. She was across from the Cartwright's house now, she glanced over and saw that all the lights were out. Guess everyone was finally tucked away and Paul and Beth were getting up to no good as always. She chuckled, at least someone was having a good time tonight. She continued walking into the park, several of the lamp posts were ignited providing her with enough light to see. As she walked down the slight hill to a more stable ground a twig snapped behind her and she sighed and stopped.

"Cameron, please just leave me alone" she pleaded. She didn't want to keep this fight going. "I'm tired and just want to go home, okay?"

She turned around and went to speak but a dirty bloodied hand grabbed her jaw and slammed her back into a tree with extreme force. She gasped in shock as she looked up into the eyes of the white half melted mask that was glaring down at her. She could feel the anger radiating from the eyes of the devil before her. The Shape looked down at her, seemingly unable to recognise her for a moment, he tilted his head sideways slowly and looked at her. Allyson's lip quivered uncontrollably as he held her against the trunk of the tree.

"M-Michael" she said and he tilted his head in the other direction.

She reached up and hooked her fingers into the helm of the mask and tore it up which made him release her.

Allyson ran into the park deeper. Her hair was flying in all directions as she ran from The Shape who started stalking after her. He walked a steady pace, but not once did he run. She didn't dare look back but she knew he was there. The park was open, but several pathways lead into other darker and more secluded area's of the park, she ran to the right and went down a small flight of concrete stairs and came to another pathway.

The Shape followed close behind. He came down the stairs and looked around and saw the silhouette of her in the distance running and followed, he never once looked away from her as his legs carried him after the girl who was desperately trying to keep ahead of him.

Everything was happening quickly for her. She couldn't hear herself screaming but she knew she was in fact screaming as loudly as humanly possible. She moved off the pathway and went into the bushes were she nearly tripped but caught herself on a tree and then went behind it as she heard the heavy footsteps coming up behind her. She looked back and saw The Shape standing several feet away looking directly at her. She moved on and went deeper off the track and he followed. She had gotten a cut on her forehead from where she knocked into a branch.

Going down another embankment and into a puddle of water she stopped and looked back. He stood up at the ledge of the drop looking down at her, she could hear the sound of him breathing through the mask.

"You're supposed to be dead" she said quietly, more to herself than anybody.

He stepped down and she stepped back. She slipped back and landed in the puddle of water and moved her hands around and got a grip on a rock and prepared to swing it as he walked towards her. He didn't have a weapon. He got closer and she lunged and smacked the rock into the side of his head which knocked him down and she ran off deeper into the park as he laid on the ground with water gushing in front of him stunned for a few moments. He casually sat up and looked around but he couldn't make out what direction she had gone off in. But he walked onwards. If he couldn't find her he'd move on somewhere else for another victim of tonights Halloween Massacre.

Cameron had left the front door open when he reached Allyson's. Karen wasn't home. She would be out searching for Allyson and himself or looking for Michael. He was able to get into the basement. Laurie's weapons were on display now and he searched for the right weapon. She had pistols, shotguns and even a crossbow but he grabbed the pistol and the ammo for it and loaded it and then grabbed a small knife and ran back upstairs. He was out the front door quickly and on his way to where he believed the Boogeyman would be stalking.
