Right Around The Corner

Chapter 2:

Blasting Music, flashing lights, teens drinking, killer on the loose what a great way to start.
The teens slowly started to pour into the house and yard of Isabelle Eastle.
Luke and Keith went straight to the bar...
"Dude how can Isabelle afford all this?" Luke questioned.
"I don't care the real question is how are we gonna drink all these!" Keith Celebrated.
Paige and Isabelle stood on the balcony looking for guys to hit on.
"What about him?" Paige asked.
"Seriously he looks like an off-brand Jonas brother. No way." Isabelle stated.
The girls both giggled at the comment.
Ivy and James walked In together but they both went their separate ways.
"I'm gonna go dip my feet in the pool." Ivy explained leaving James on his own.
He stood there watching the party carefully.
Kyle stayed at the party for a good 10 minutes before getting bored and going home or wandering off.
Julie walked in alone and began searching the party for her friends.
"HeEeEeEeeey Julie." An already drunk Luke said.
"Luke you're drunk go sit down." She said pushing him away.
"Come with meEeEeEee."
"No, go find someone else to bug."
He huffed as he stumbled off to go find another girl to flirt with.
Julie and Luke were the "it" couple back in when they were sophomores then over the summer they drifted apart and decided to be friends instead.
Julie watched as Luke stumbled over to Ivy and before he could say a word ivy pushed him in the pool and she stormed off.
Julie let out a laugh as did someone else nearby.
She looked over and saw James laughing hysterically.
James looked over and saw Julie.
"Hello." He said shyly.
"Hi, tell me I wasn't the only one to see that coming." Julie asked.
"Of course not, it was obvious, drunk jock stumbled over to a girl he usually has no interest in but since he's intoxicated he doesn't know any better and then of course the girl dose something in her defense to get the drunk away basic movie move." He shrugged
Julie gave the boy a confused look.
"You really know your movies don't you?"
"I'm more of a horror movie type person like, Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Halloween."
"So you're more of a slasher horror type movie rather than a creepy child gets possessed movie?" She questioned
He let out a laugh "Of course slashers are the best type of movies." He explained.
While James explained all the reasons why slasher movies are the best Isabelle and Paige made their way downstairs.
"I call that one." Paige said pointing to a new kid she noticed.
Paige danced her way over there trying to impress the new guy. He noticed what she was doing and decided to ask her,
"You're Paige right?"
Paige gave him a confused look "Yeah that's me how'd you know?"
"I asked someone who was the pretty redhead on the balcony and they gave me your name."
She felt her cheeks blush to the color of her hair.
"T-thanks." She said nervous, it was weird Paige usually was never nervous around guys but the new kid definitely was different.
"So new kid what's your name?" She asked.
"Andrew Stickle."
"Well Andrew Stickle lets go dance!" She said dragging him over to the dance floor.
Meanwhile Isabelle announced that the house is officially off limits and that everyone needs to stay outside due to the fact that she found throw up in her moms favorite vase.
Isabelle was just telling the last little amount of people that they need to go outside when she saw the light upstairs turn on.
"Upstairs has always been off limits get down here now!" She yelled. But when no one came she decided to go upstairs to investigate.
She looked around and noticed nothing out of the ordinary.
Then something caught her eye in the bathroom a note on the mirror.
End the party or I will!
-GS
"Gs?" She mumbled.
Isabelle felt threatened by the note as she looked around to see who could of possibly put that there.
It was probably Keith she thought as she began walking away but something stopped her, she began hearing whispers all around.
"Stop the party." A faint voice whispered.
"Or what?" She yelled.
She looked everywhere and wondered where the voice was coming from when all of a sudden she saw a face in the mirror.
There standing in her shower was a person wearing a skull mask that was to dark to show any part of his eyes, all black clothes so that you couldn't see his skin.
Isabelle let out a loud ear piercing scream as she began running away.
She heard the person walking behind her, her legs gave out and she was now crawling for her life.
She heard the man behind the mask drag his knife against the wall to make a screeching sound.
The tears left her eyes as she yelled for help.
Since everyone was outside no one heard her.
She stumbled to her feet and began running down the stairs she turned around for a split second to see if the person was still walking behind her but he was gone she turned forward only to be slammed into Keith.
"Hey I heard a scream you alright?" He asked
"No- Someone's up there he- he had a knife!" She panicked.
"Why don't you sit down and catch your breath you're going crazy." He said taking her hand and leading her to the couch.
"I'm gonna go get a drink, you want anything?" He asked
She only shook her head no.
He nodded and walked off leaving her alone in the house with the masked man.
She sat up and looked around hoping for dear life that the man was only a trick her eyes had played.
"So what did you say you saw?" Keith asked while coming back scaring Isabelle.
She sighed in relief when it was only Keith.
"Nothing let's just go have fun." She said trying to forgot the events that just happened.
While walking away she looked back once more to make sure she didn't see the skull man.
The two headed to the dance floor as Ivy sat by herself by the foldout chairs writing in her journal as James approached her.
"Hey. Whatcha doing out here by yourself?"
"Avoiding Luke. What are you doing over here I thought you were talking to Julie."
As soon as the name Julie escaped her mouth James began smiling like a fool.
"Oh wow I just found out some serious news does my best friend have a crush on popular girl-" James quickly covered her mouth as she began saying it louder and louder.
As people stared he said "Heh of course not Ivy don't be ridiculous."
"Hey James so you never told me, what's your all time favorite slasher movie?" Julie asked as she walked over.
James began smiling and blushing like crazy, he looked at Ivy for a look of approval and when she smiled and nodded he began talking as Ivy walked off.
The night went by quick teens were drinking and would obviously not remember tonight and have a major hangover tomorrow morning at school.
Slowly people started going home...
Ivy walked home by herself.
Andrew and Paige stumbled to his car and did who knows what.
Luke passed out on the patio deck.
James decided to drive home Julie.
Keith stumbled home because he only lived right around the corner and Isabelle was left alone with an sleeping Luke.
She felt the nervousness began to build as the party cleared.
She looked at Luke who was sleeping and then back at her house.
She hasn't dared stepped inside since the "incident."
She opened the back door slowly to avoid any loud noises and walked inside closing the back door behind her.
She grabbed a kitchen knife and began walking to the stairs.
The lights were off so she turned her phone flashlight on, she began walking up slowly knife locked in to her hand.
When she reached the top of the stairs she saw a shadow in the bathroom as well as knife marks on the wall meaning that the skull man wasn't a trick her eyes had played.
The same shadow she saw before.
She clenched her knife and turned the corner fast and raised her knife ready to attack.
Expecting to see the masked person she was fooled by this time it was only a journal close to a light making it seem like a large shadow.
A journal. A journal that read "Property of Ivy Kitle"
"Ivy." She whispered to herself
"I knew it!"
All of a sudden she felt a burst of pain in her lower back.
She screamed as she noticed the skull masked man right behind her.
Meanwhile...
"Thanks for driving me home." Julie said while grabbing her stuff
"Yeah of course."
"Wait quick question Scream or Halloween?" She asked
"Hmm that's a hard one they both are classics."
"I can't choose either."
They both laughed.
Just then Julie gave James a quick kiss on the cheek before smiling and walking inside.
"I am so glad I didn't drink and will remember this moment forever!" he sighed as he was stunned at what just happened.
His phone went off...
One unread message from Ivy.
He slid his phone open and read over the text.
I have some serious bad news, I just did something so bad!!!
At the same time Luke began waking up.
He rubbed his head to try and stop the pounding.
"Ugh!!!!" He sighed regretting his decisions of drinking.
"Hello!" He called out confused as to where everyone went.
"Isabelle? Keith? Julie?" He yelled.
"I need to pee." He mumbled as he walked inside to do his business.
He was washing up his hands when he noticed something leaking from the ceiling, Isabelle's roofs were being remodeled so they weren't in the best shape at the moment.
The red substance fell flat on his face.
He tried rubbing it off but it only smeared.
"What is this!" He yelled.
He began walking upstairs to see what substance has leaked through the roof.
His heart dropped as to what he saw.
He let out a terrified cry for help when he saw Isabelle lying on the floor, blood pouring out of her stomach.
