Five weeks earlier.......

Seth said goodbye to his girlfriend and his little brother. Lola had agreed to babysit Max while He went to have some fun with his friends.

"K kiddo. Let's go." Lola motioned for Max to get in the car.

"Where are we going?" He asked.

"I was thinking we could go for a stroll in the park, just the two of us. Whaddya say?" Lola tried infusing enthusiasm in her voice.

"Hmm. Okay." Max shrugged as he climbed in the backseat. He didn't suspect anything. Lola nearly laughed with pleasure of how this plan was working. Max would be gone and Seth would be hers. Nobody knew what had happened to his last girlfriend, except Lola. She had taken her to the very spot they were going to now and drowned her. Then she had stabbed out the poor girl's eyes. Lola got the idea after reading about a boy named Ben. He had died the exact same way.

"How long until we get there?" Max called.

"About twenty minutes. I have to stop at the gas station and get gas." Lola lied. She really needed to stop and get her supplies. The car pulled up to a Quick Stop. To make her lie seem believable, Lola put in the nozzle. It was a pay in the inside kinda gas station. It was the perfect excuse. Plus she could lure Max into a false sense of security with a candy bar.

Pocket knife, rag, bleach, chloroform, rope, a couple candy bars, and some lipstick. That was all she needed. Handing Max the candy bar, Lola drove off to the park. When she pulled up, her headlights caught something on the edge of the parking lot. Staring right at her was Seth's old girlfriend! But instead of the crystal green eyes Lola envied was the soulless blackness of evil.

"Max, see that girl?" She pushed him forward, " That's your new friend!" Lola jumped into her car, locked the doors, started the engine,and drove off. She ignored Max's cries for help as more of the Black Eyed Kids surrounded him. But at a last second thought, Lola turned around. Max ran to her. To Lola it all happened in slow motion, she took out the pocket knife. With a wild yell more animal than human, she thrust the knife into the boys throat. Max's eyes bulged as he clawed at the handle. The blood leaked out onto his clothes and onto the pavement. He writhed there until, finally, he closed his eyes, and died. Lola wrenched out the knife and climbed back in her car. When she passed a bridge she tossed out the bloody knife. It skidded across the road and off the edge into the creek that ran through town.

Lola pretended like Max had gone to bed when Seth came home. When Seth told her that Max had gone missing, she had to pretend to be distraught and not happy. It took all her energy not to prance around the room yelling, "I DID IT CAN'T YOU SEE? I HAD HIS BLOOD ALL OVER ME!" But for five weeks she said nothing. Until Max came back as a Black Eyed Kid, the most terrifying thing on the planet. Then Lola was no more. Seth was found in the similar fashion that Lola was found in when the cops discovered her. Only clutched in Seth's hand was a bloodstained note that read, LOLA DID IT.
