{disclaimer This is based on a real story that happened to my friends and I. Names have been changed due to obvious reasons. This is a semi horror story or whatever. Oh by the way Steph is fifteen,Leo is thirteen,Brian is 12,Franco is six, Victoria is eight,and Oasis is fourteen. }

Stephanie's POV

It had been a simple day well sort of my father had awoken me with a sudden spray from his bottle sprayer. Then interrogated me if I had used all of the cellular data the previous day. Of course I admitted that I had and he suspended me and my sister from the internet. My sister Victoria and I spent the day watching old movies on the television as we waited for the late afternoon. When our friend Leo and his father arrived. I was thankful that Leo didn't bring along his good for nothing sister. God she irritated me with her stupid girly ways and bipolar attitude.

Leo's POV

It was a Saturday and my fucking sister was preparing for the home coming dance or whatever. I wasn't going because I just didn't feel like it. To be honest I don't know who even asked her. Oh that's right no one because she was going with her lame friends. My dad was going to a barbecue that was being hosted by two girls's father. The girls I had known for some time now plus my other friend and his younger brother were coming too. So I tagged along when I arrived however I was greeted slowly by the girls as they showed me their new pets. A cat and a puppy. Both were cute I guess but since we had nothing to do we just sat and watched a T.v.

Victoria's POV

After watching t.v for awhile we went outside and asked if we could go to the infamous swinging bridge that was near the firehouse/police station. As we walked though there was an eerie feeling in the air. I didn't like it but when we arrived at the swinging bridge there was an odd man on the bridge. He gave me the creeps as we passed by him the bridge swinging slightly by the wind.

{narrative}

When the children had returned home the adults were still chatting and their other friends not yet arrived so they decided to go and play soccer for a bit. After twenty minutes they returned inside and watched a bit more television. Until they were shot at by a nerf gun bullet that hit and bounced off Stephanie's right boob.

Brain's POV

I was excited to see my friends again I had brought along two nerf guns for me and Leo. When i arrived however I never thought that I would hit my friend Stephanie in her right boob. Of course we all died of laughter even Stephanie. We all decided to go out and play in the abandoned lot that was near her and Victoria's house.

Oasis's POV

So before going to Steph's house I was at a fest called The Fall Fest i was with all my friends. Of course time flies when your having fun. By the time I had arrived it was 8:00 pm everyone surrounded me with greetings and heys. We all sat on the steps of Steph's and Vicky's house as we discussed what we would do. We all had agreed to go check out the train tracks. It was dangerous yes but hey we're kids we're wild and free plus we're safe as long we stayed by an adult...even if said adult was ''young'' even the little kids tagged along. When we arrived however we all noticed a creepy looking car in the alley that lead to the lot. The street lamps illuminated the lot well enough for all of us to see. We quickly left the lot to go walk on the train tracks I walked straight in the middle of them while everyone stayed on the side for fear of a train suddenly coming and running them over.

Stephanie's POV

As we walked along the train tracks I kept looking back as if I was expecting the car to sudden get on to the tracks and chase us. But it never happened I couldn't help but think back to the creepy guy from the bridge. Was he some kind of creeper ? I don't know Brian's little brother Franco kept crying out that he was scared but we all told him to shush and that we were going to be fine. When we reached the other parking lot that was owned by a state farm building we high tailed it back to my house that was just three houses down.

As we sat back on the steps we were breathless,scared and shaky. Especially Victoria and Franco. So when they went back into the house for something we left them behind going back to the abandoned lot. Well it wasn't really abandoned it was just empty at night because of the new towing rule for all cars. During the day however it was occupied by teachers from the school across the street. But by night it was kind of creepy next to the lot was two small businesses one owned but rarely used. The other was jewelry shop next to the two little companies were multiple shops with upstair apartments .

Brian's POV

When we arrived back at the lot the car was still there. We all pretended to be brave well at least some of us tried since Oasis tried to persuade us to go back to Steph's house. But in the end we ended up following the tracks again as we felt the hair on the back of our necks stand up. When I looked back there was man following us. I screamed but a manly one not a girly one mind you. {it was totally girly} the moonlight shined against something metal....a knife oh my god he had a knife. When I screamed again the man lunged at us. We all ran away quickly as we passed Stephanie's backyard we could hear Victoria and Franco call for us. We were all relieved that they weren't with us it would had been much worse. As the man chased us we kept screaming hoping to gain our parents's attention. Why was it that every time somebody was in huge danger the only person/people play heavy metal. When we all finally reached Steph's house the man had disappeared. We were all shaking like dogs we entered the house to discuss what had happened after two hours. Even the little kids went to the lot again there was fence that went on to the neighbor's property. We hide behind there as Leo and I went to end of fence and checked it out. The car was no longer there. But instead a large white van was parked there we all stared at it. Shocked and scared

Fraco's POV

I saw a big man standing next to the van. He was really scary with this large grin on his face. I looked at Sophia as I ran back to the house. Everyone else followed quickly passing by me. I heard the scary man call out to us that he had candy. We ran even faster after he said that. When we arrived back at the house we all sat down and talked about who the scary man could be.

{time skip one hour }

Victoria's POV

We were all still pretty shaken from the encounter but we foolishly never said a word to our parents. ''One last time come on !" Brian said Oasis shook her head "No way man I'm too scared I'm staying here you fools can all go if you want too though." Oasis said stubbornly no one said anything as we all put on our shoes and left.

Leo's POV

When we went back to the lot the van was still there but the man was not. That's when we all heard his creepy voice coming from the shadows. "I've got you now !" Holy shit holy shit holy shit HOLY SHIT ! I ran I just ran I didn't even look back to see if the others were behind me. I didn't stop running until i reached Steph's house. I was short of breathe and scared I looked and soon the others joined me. The guy almost got Brian but he narrowly escaped. After that we never went back to that stupid lot again. And to this day we swear whenever we pass it we can still hear that guy's creepy fucking voice. We swore to never tell our parents.

The end.
