In the summer of 1998, A boy named Caleb Cartstetter was walking home one day from school.
He walked parts loads of missing posters but stopped when he saw a poster for a kid he never met.
On the poster it read:

EDWARD MYERS
AGE 16
Description: big brown hair, brown eyes, glasses, yellow shirt with green and red patterns, jeans and black shoes
Last seen: at home
If found please call wolferton police department

Caleb blinked and the poster had completely changed to a different person.
Now it read:

CAMERON MCQUEEN
AGE 18
Description: long brown hair, blue eyes, green striped t-shirt, black trousers and gray trainers
Last seen: dead man's lake
If found please call wolferton police department

"What the fuck?" Caleb muttered before shrugging it off.
Caleb was walking along when he saw a ice cream van pull up next to him.
A man got out the ice cream van.
"Hey kid do you want some ice cream?" The man asked.
"Um My mum told me not to talk to strangers" Caleb told him.
"But don't you want some ice cream?" The man asked.
He was in a ice cream man uniform and had a creepy grin on his face.
He was a middle aged man with round frame glasses.
He had brown hair combed to the side and green eyes.
"Um what's your name?" Caleb asked.
"Oh it's Carter, Carter fields" The man told him smiling.
"Ok um I'm gonna tell the police your name now" Caleb laughed.
The man's smile faded.
"I'm joking dude" Caleb told him.
The man stood there staring at him with a serious tone.
Caleb turned and started walking away.
The man quickly ran at him and grabbed him from behind, covering his mouth.
Caleb kicked and screamed as Carter threw him into the back of the ice cream van before driving off.

Caleb woke up tied down to the floor with his mouth covered.
Caleb started shaking and screaming but his screams were muffled.
"SHUT UP" Carter screamed at Caleb.
Caleb's eyes were wide and filled with tears as he watched Carter pick up a saw.
Caleb turned his head and screamed as he saw a dead boy next to him.
Caleb was apart of a ring of dead kids with a pentagram with the middle.
On the wall was missing posters with blood smeared on them except one poster was clean.
It was a missing poster of Caleb.
Caleb started shaking as tears poured from his eyes and sweat dripped off his skin.
His heart was beating really fast and his breath was quickly going in and out his nose as he freaked out.
"Don't be scared Caleb your sacrifice will be appreciated greatly" Carter told Caleb as stood over him with the saw.
Carter crouched down to cut Caleb's leg off when he heard banging and shouting.
"THIS IS THE POLICE OPEN UP!" Carter heard a bunch of people shout outside.
"Fuck" Carter muttered.
Carter quickly injected Caleb with something before he sat in the middle of circle and slit his wrists with a knife off the floor.
The police burst in and found Carter dead.

"So why did he do it?" Maxine asked.
"Carter believed that if the ritual worked then he could become a supernatural cold creature of great power" Caleb explained.
"But the ritual failed...right?" Maxine questioned looking really concerned.
"The thing he injected me with...caused me to die for 5 minutes...I was brought back at the hospital but...I was killed" Caleb revealed to Maxine.
"The circle was complete" Jason muttered.
"Thank you for your time" Maxine told Caleb before getting up and quickly running out the door.
Everyone jumped up and followed.
"Wait ur name is mr Frederickson tho?" Angelica asked.
"Changed it" Caleb responded.
