I wanted to run, to get as far away as possible. I wanted to leave and never come back. I wanted to forget everything. But fate is cruel and harsh, never forgiving and never forgetting. And now fate has chosen me to be it's next victim. I was standing 4 feet away from the person I hated most in my life. My mother. Clockwork. I turn and push past slender and walked down the hall towards the stairs. I heard someone run after me and I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turn and came face to face with Clockwork.

"Stay away from me!" I say harshly to her.

"Ace please, don't be this way." She says trying to place her hand on me again.

I quickly take a step back. "No! You abandoned me! You left me all alone! My whole life was a lie cause of you! I wouldn't have become the monster I am now! Sarah would still be alive right now if you had just stayed!"

Our argument was loud enough that everyone had gathered to watch. I saw Kayla in the crowd and it gave me more anger. I turn to walk away and Clockwork grabs my arm. I quickly pull it away from her.

"Don't touch me." I say in a dead serious tone. My hand reached to my back pockets and rested on the tips of my knifes.

Apparently this had caught her eye, for Clockwork reached behind her back too. We both locked eyes for a long moment, then we pulled out our knifes and attacked each other. I swung at her face, but she parried it with ease. I spin and strike at her chest and knees, but this time she dodged by flipping over me. I quickly spun again and parried a swing from her knifes. They were almost twice the size of my pocket knifes, but thankfully my knifes were made from surgical steel and don't break unless under extreme pressure. I went to swing again but a hand had caught my arm. I turn to find Toby holding my arm, to which I try to free my arm but he wouldn't let go. I struggle to get free and continue to fight Clockwork, but then the other guys joined Toby to hold me down. Toby held my right arm, while Laughing Jack(LJ) held my left arm, Jeff had wrapped his arms around my shoulders in an attempt to put me in a choke hold, and Masky and Hoodie were in front of me pushing against my chest. Slender had appeared behind Clockwork and was holding her in the air with his tentacles. I still struggled against the force of the guys holding me, and the whole pile shrugged forward. Finally after Sally ran up and clung to my leg did I finally stop struggling. Once the guys had let go I pried Sally from my leg and walked out the front door. Toby walked out after me.

"Where are you going?!" He asked loudly.

"To blow off some steam! Don't follow me Toby!" I scream at him.

I ran as fast as I could into the forest. I didn't stop till I got to the edge of town. I noticed that Shadow had followed me the whole way here. I reached down and patted his head. I didn't mind him tagging along, I liked his company when I was angry. I scanned the town until I found what I was looking for, a victim. A lone person was walking down a street, and no one else was in sight. I quickly pulled my hood on and put my sunglasses over my eyes and headed down the hill towards the town. I reached the street and hid in the shadows and stalked my prey. I had trained Shadow to move quietly like I do, and he was dead silent to the point where I had to turn around to make sure he was still with me. We followed the victim to his house, and waited till he went inside. I quickly went around to the back of the house and watched him through a window. Once his back was turned I quickly went up to the window and slid my knife under the latch. Slowly moving the knife sideways I unlocked the latch and opened the window without making a sound. I crawled inside and stood up. I pulled out my other knife and flicked it open. The sound had made the guy turn around, and that's when I lunged and stabbed him in his heart. Then I quickly covered his mouth so he wouldn't scream. The knife hadn't killed him immediately, so he was bleeding to death. I quickly gaged his mouth with a nearby towel and sat him in a chair. I started to cut him open like I did with Sarah's father. I ripped open his ribs and pulled his heart completely out. I went and found the fireplace and grabbed the lighter fluid and sprayed his body, then the walls and the furniture. I made a trail to the window and crawled back outside. I pull my lighter from my front pocket and sparked a flame. I lower it to the fluid and it bursts to life. I walk away making sure Shadow is with me before I walk out onto the street and watch as the house catches ablaze. I walk away and find another victim. This goes on for almost 3 hours before I steal a car and drive to another town and continue this killing spree. After I finished in that town a few hours later, I went and drove to another town in a different car. I did another spree in that town then I drove home. By the end of the night I had gone to 3 different towns, killing over 15 people in each town, and burned down their houses along with them. I stumble inside the mansion, covered in blood and ash/soot. Toby comes out of the main room and sees me and freezes in his spot. He looks me up and down, taking notice to the blood stained hoodie and boots. He can see the soot covering my face and arms which were also caked in dried blood. I take 2 steps inside and fall to my knees. I had used up all my strength and stamina, I was completely drained. Toby rushes over and kneels down beside me.

"I'm ok, just tired that's all." I reassure him.

Toby shakes his head and helps me to my feet. I see Clockwork walk out of the main room followed by Kayla. I feel angry swell inside me, but I was too tired to fight anymore. Soon more of the Creepypastas walk out from different rooms and they start to murmur to others when they see me. Toby helps me to my feet, and I nod to him as he lets me walk upstairs by myself. Shadow walks beside me, guiding me to our room. I flung the door open and stumble a few steps inside and stop when Shadow stopped walking and started to growl loudly. I looked and froze in place. Standing in the middle of my room, facing towards me was some from my past. She shouldn't have been here. She couldn't be here. She couldn't be standing right in front of me. Her ocean blue eyes pierced my multicolored eyes. Her shirt had 3 bloody bullet holes. I feel to my knees and a tear streamed down my cheek before I passed out from exhaust.

The last image I saw was of Sarah, standing in my room and running towards me as I fell.
