Candyman - K.T.H

7

With a wave of his hook, I heard screams of everyone within the hallway.

"Run to me Koko... Run to your savior..." He chuckled.

Running out of the room, I made my way down the stairs and into the lobby. Everyone was on the ground bleeding, but I didn't care at that point. I was going to be free...

I ran to the forest, past the trees, and up the stairs. Opening the door, I walked inside and it slammed shut.

"Welcome darling. Follow the light..." He called to me.

The light compelled me to walk up the grand staircase...

I followed the light, as if I was in a trance, and it turned the opposite way from last time I was there.

I went down a hallway, into the room all the way at the ending.

"Come to your savior, Koko."  He demanded.

Walking into the room, I observed an altar with candles lit around it, and photos.

I observed the photos, it was him..

Him with the woman... Sakura was her name?

"Welcome sweet Koko." He sang. I turned around to see him blocking the door.

"What is going on?..." I asked, scared.

He laughed. "You don't understand, do you Koko? Look at her... My darling Sakura..."

"She does look like me but..."

"Koko... You are her..." He whispered.

I turned around in shock.

"No way, she's dead!"

His face tensed for a moment.

"She died... But she came back to me through you..." He explained.

He forced me to sit in the chair that her picture was taken in.

"You humans forget I wasn't always the stupid Candyman. I have a damn name, and I had feelings. I HAVE FEELINGS!" He shouted.

He picked up a photo of them.

"She was my everything. She was carrying my baby. I was happy. But you people all ruined it. Now I take revenge for my baby and my Sakura." He put down the photo.

"But you've returned to me, dearest. And I'm not going to be away from you ever again." He stated smugly.

"What do you mean?..." I asked scared.

"Join me, Koko. Once you renounce your life to me, you'll be Sakura again, and we'll be happy." He explained.

I tried to get away but he grabbed my arm.

"Unless you'd like to go back to your life of torment, I suggest you take my offer."

His hook waved something in my face. A ring.

"Remember this, darling? I know you're in there, trapped in the body of a teenager. Come back to me." He whispered, his voice showing vulnerability.

But I couldn't sympathize.

"No! I'm not Sakura! She is dead and gone, and that's how it'll stay!"

I must have hit a nerve.

Because he snapped.
