"MAIVE!" I scream, she's not there! Loud footsteps echo around me yet I see nothing but then something grabs my shoulders and cuts my right arm deep with a knife. Blood pours out and drips down my arm. Ellica begins to scream and then whatever it is releases its grip on me and seizes Ellica.
"Shhhh," whispers something. A ghost for sure I think as Ellica's body shakes uncontrollably and she screams at the top of her lungs but shushes when it slice her left shoulder. She slumps back onto the wall. I run to her and hear a whoosh as a visible knife flies through the air before me and I run in the other direction, shouting for Maive. Bang! I hear it from upstairs so I thunder up the stairs and go room to room looking for her. I stop when I see a rocking chair- rocking but nothing is in it. I ask for whatever it is to stop but instead it rocks faster and harder and swings around. In front of me lays a dummy of Maive with a short and sharp slit across the neck.
"AHHHHHH!" my high pitched scream pierces my own ears as I am tapped roughly on the shoulder. Calming down I realise that Maive has tapped me on the shoulder.
"Oh god. Please Analise can we go? I'm so scared, it took me and I know what it was. A ghost, the ghost of the slasher that guy who went around killing people monthly in 2011 committed suicide in prison and has come back to our town. Why? Because our cops arrested him and now it's payback!" whispers Maive in a hurry. I notice the colour has drained from her cheeks, she's not lying but I have to get Ellica.
"You can go but I have to save Ellica, I'm sorry," I whisper in return. A box full of dolls with deep scratches in their eyes is thrown at us and that's when I know it's in here. I throw the box back at a moving curtain and I hear a low grunt as it thwacks him.
"Run!" I shout and race down the stairs to Ellica. Dragging her blood covered body out of the house I spot a note on the wall. The note reads: This ain't over yet.
