Shadow of Death

Our Place

I ran to our bench in the woods, and found her sitting there with her laptop. "Ay! Why did you leave me earlier?" "Dang, I knew I should of found a better spot." She said, hitting the table with her fist. "Why would you wanna keep me "Safe" ? Or whatever." I said, needing answers. She told me to sit down, and said "I didn't want to tell you but.. I guess now is better then before something happens. My dad built that house years ago in 1947 and sold it to a kinda weird, and social awkward couple." "Like me and you?" I said expecting a laugh. I was wrong.. "Yeah, except we didn't kidnap kids and make them do sexual things to us, did we?" A moment of silence struck and I said "No.." "Anyway. My Dad lived next to them, and started to smell feces, and a strong odor." "Worst then feces?" I said, expecting another laugh. Which again failed. "Shut up." She said. "My Dad called the police, and when they investigated the house, they found over 11 kids Dead, and extremely skinny." "What does that have to do with me?" I said. "I was getting to that. The house was tore down and made into a cemetery for the children who died. Kinda like a place just for them. The house you live in now was rebuilt on the cemetery last year." "So that's why my Dad didn't want to freak me out!" "Exactly." She said.

We picked up our belongings and headed out of the woods. "Still wanna spend a night at my house?" I really was hoping for a yes because, I was terrified too. "Sure." YES! I thought in my head. "Okay." I said playing it cool. We headed back to my house, and as we walked through the door my Mom said "Dinner kids?" "No thank you, Mrs. Efron." "No, Mom." I said kinda embarrassed. We headed up to my room, and she took off her jacket, and shoes, and laid down, and I too laid down beside her. I wrapped my arm around her, and we started to make out. She grabbed me by my shirt and pulled me closer, as I grabbed her waist. She had me lift up, as she pulled off my shirt, and unbuckled my pants. Right before we did what we wanted to do, we heard a thump in our attic which freaked the crap out of us, because we thought It was my Mom, or Dad. She grabbed her shirt, and put it back on, and I buckled my pants back. "I'll be right back, I'm gonna see what that was." "No! I'm going with you." She said demanding a Yes. "Okay, then.." I grabbed the handle that pulls down the stairs, to the attic. I peeked up, and saw a Laptop with a video on it, which was unclear at the time. "I think It's safe, follow me." We were now in the attic, sitting at the laptop. I looked at her, and she looked back at me. As I pressed "Play" on the video. It was horrible quality as if it was recorded on a Potato. But, throughout the video it began to become more clear. It was a video of a family sitting at a dinner table, and then cut to a scene of them all in duct tape, and bloody. "So, the family wasn't killing the kids? Because, if they were wouldn't the kids just be tied up?" "I don't know let's continue to watch" I said. We saw hair sliding down the wall, and then as it reached the ground, a woman appeared out of it. We slammed the Laptop and headed towards the ladder of the attic. But, before we could reach it we saw hair coming down from the wall. We knew what was gonna happen next. The only other exit was the window, and we had to go one at a time. Her first of course. I helped her through the window, and as she got out I looked back and the lady had already formed, and was walking towards me. I climbed through the window, and before making it fully out she grabbed my leg. I pulled and pulled untill she let go. I looked at the distance from us to the ground, and knew it was a chance of someone breaking a leg, or arm. So I put her in front of me, and put my arms around her. As I jumped from the attic..
