A person wearing an old, chequered pattern, a torn brown suit revealing gross, almost burnt looking skin walks with an axe with blood, wearing a mask that is shaped weird, a pumpkin to us but in this world, no such plant matches. The mask was brown, green and even white because of the mould, with some plant life growing on the side.

The face of this mask forms a large, creepy smile, the holes that represent the eyes are pitch black but look to be somewhat metallic, the carved mouth having grey, really sharp teeth like a closed bear trap.

They walked through an eerie hallway, lights flashing and the walls were so dull-looking and even had streaks of blood.

It looks like some abandoned old hotel that hadn't been destroyed, but why is this anonymous person here?

They saw a little girl running away to the hallway as fast as she could, "I'll.. Make sure.. That you're gone forever!" The person was excited, but clearly exhausted.

This person then started sprinting towards them, laughing with an axe on their left hand.

The girl then hid in one of the doors in this abandoned hotel, in which this person didn't see which door.

The mouth of the mask opens, revealing the mouth of the person, "Now, now.. Hide and seek isn't my favourite game."

They were slowly dragging the axe, scraping the floor. Intentionally doing this noise to make the girl scared.

As they itched closer and closer to the door on the right, they bashed their axe causing the door to get severely damaged. Another bash, and one more, the door came crashing down.

The mask once again opens its jaws, "Anyone in here?" they say menacingly, as they grab the axe and are prepared to strike the bed frame.

They swung the axe and the bed withstood the first strike, but the planks that were on top broke easily, they took the axe and swung again, this time the axe broke the thick wooden part of the bed. Another and another until the bed collapsed.

"Aww, they're not here.. I told you I hated hide and seek!" from a calm to very aggressive tone.

The little girl hiding in the room beside the house the person broke through was absolutely horrified.

If she ran now, she'd easily be caught and murdered. Hoping for the person to get exhausted and give up, they continued to hide.

The person then went to the room on the left, a weird shadow-like figure behind the person walked away from them, as if their shadow became alive and went straight to the door the girl was in.

The girl saw the darker figure simply phase through the door, she quickly went inside the wooden closet.

This shadow was a darker version from the person with shades ranging from dark grey to black, their eyes being blood red, the smile still metallic and they may even look scarier than the person chasing the girl.

This shadow went to the closet and phased through it. The girl nearly yelled, but the shadow figure closed their mouth, blocking the noise as if they were really there.

The shadow quickly held their mouth shut until they calmed a little,"You're not allowed to cry. If you do, you'll die." The voice being like the person's but much deeper and soothing, menacing even.

After a short struggle, the girl stopped struggling and started to whisper, "W,what are you!?" her voice so timid and afraid, her vision so blurry due to her tears.

The shadow wiped their tears away, "Those doors will open soon." staring at them with horrifying eyes.

She whimpered, "W,what can I do?!" as she starts tearing up more.
