Prologue: Charlie

19 2 13
                                    

A 12 year old boy sat in his room and had looked out the window.

He saw something.

A tall slender and faceless entity called out to him.

"Chaaaaarrrlllllliiieee my child, come to me!"

Charlie had gotten up off of his bed that he sat on and had exited his room, and he went downstairs saying nothing.

Soon he entered to the kitchen.

Soon Charlie had seen the faceless entity in the kitchen point over to the knife block on the counter that it sat on.

"Grab the knife!!!"

For of course about 7 weeks or so Charlie Woodsmith kept seeing this creature everywhere he had went not knowing where it had come from but had assumed that it had came from the woods itself.

Charlie went over the knife block and reached up and grabbed the largest knife from the block, he pulled it out revealing the shiny sharp and pointy dangerous blade as it had casted a faded reflection of his face on the blade.

He heard his mother's panic from upstairs.

"Charlie?" He first heard.

"CHARLIE!!!" His mother shouted and followed by running footsteps down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Charlie." The mother said.

"Oh god you're sleep walking again, please put the knife down sweetheart!" The mother calmly said.

"Let's get you back to bed!" The mom said.

Charlie had a history of sleepwalking but this wasn't that to him.

Charlie looked up at the faceless entity and it spoke to Charlie.

"Kill her, child!!!" The entity had said.

Charlie had apologized to his mother for what was about to happen and soon of course the mother being confused and all had seen Charlie run towards her pointing the knife outwards at his mother and his mother retracted in fear as Charlie had charged at her screaming and stabbed the knife into his mother's stomach, she fell over in shock and Charlie had gotten on top of her began stabbing her to death apologizing for what was happening and Charlie's mother begging for him to stop.

But he didn't he kept stabbing her as then the mother died from her wounds and accepted death to be hers.

Charlie had gotten up and dropped the knife and a pale bony hand dropped itself onto Charlie's shoulder and Charlie himself looked up, he saw the faceless entity at a closer angle.

It has no face.

It stood around 16ft in length of height and it's skin looked like it had a suit but it wasn't actually a suit, it was tall and slender, and black slimy tendrils sprouted from it's back they moved like water but they were solid, the skin on it's h...

It stood around 16ft in length of height and it's skin looked like it had a suit but it wasn't actually a suit, it was tall and slender, and black slimy tendrils sprouted from it's back they moved like water but they were solid, the skin on it's hand was soft and fleshy like how skin would feel but the arms and the rest of it's body felt hard and rough like tree bark.

Each movement it made had made the entity look like it moved in and out of the human reality, like as if it glitched in and out and the movement itself was unsettling but the sound of it's joints as it placed it's hand on Charlie's shoulder it sounded like wood being stepped on and splintering and breaking away and creaking.

"Let's go Charlie, it's time to leave!!!" The entity said.

As Charlie had stepped out side and was greeted by the faceless entity outside and disappeared off into the night never to be seen again.

*Static*

A TV comes on flipping through multiple channels and voices of news station channels flipped through them.

"A grizzly murder happened today just last night!"

"Local boy Charlie Woodsmith disappeared just last night, only the bloody scene of a stabbing had taken place."

"Multiple reports of a faceless entity taking children has yet to be found."

The TV turns off and glitched out and the TV had exploded into sparks, glass, and metal.
