. TAG YOU'RE IT.

Part 1

I woke up for school and the first thing I heard was the news channel blaring from the living room. I quickly put on my clothes, brush my hair and rush out of my room to watch what's happened in the past few days.
"Breaking news! People have reported seeing clowns walking around at night and terrorizing their children. Who are they, and why are they doing this? We have a special guest with us who said they've seen a clown. So Andrew what happened the night you saw these creepy things?"

"Well, I ride my bike a lot and had decided to ride the midnight rodes before I went to bed. I had just turned on Mary's Road and saw a figure walking along the side walk..I just brushed it off and rode around them. But when I did pass the strange figure all the sudden I heard a laugh...laugh that you'd hear from a clown, so I turned back to see what it was and staring right back at me was a clown."

"How strange! We'll update you on this investigation next week, stay tuned and be safe!"
I honestly didn't think much of it, we don't believe what's on TV. So I rolled my eyes and skipped out the door as usual, when I finally got to my bus stop I got a eerie feeling. And I swear that I heard something, it was coming from the woods that were beside my house.
"Probably just Walter the cat." I said shrugging my shoulders
After I got to school and pushed myself through the damned halls. Most of the time all you'd hear is pity drama that made you sigh because it annoyed you. Not this time...today everyone was talking about the news report. I even heard people talking about their 'experience' themselves. But ignored it and walked in a fast past to class. I sat next to my best friend named Bradley, he seemed to have a worried look upon his face..
After poking him a few times he turned to me and had blood shot eyes. Chapped lips and bags under his eyes.
"What the fuck is wrong with you, looks like you've seen a ghost."

"Emma..I'm scared. Listen this whole clown situation is no fucking joke. Like..I use to live in Louisiana and the same thing had happened there, and let me tell you I was just like you. I thought it was shit, but then after seeing videos of it, etc. I couldn't leave my room for months, and m-my.."

"W-what?"

"My girlfriend was murdered by one of these fucks, of course I'd love revenge but damn it. I'm to scared to face these things . They have the widest grin you'll ever lay your eyes on. Please...stay safe."
After hearing that my heart dropped and I started to panic a little. That ruined my whole day, I couldn't stop thinking about it all day. Of course I had to walk home that day, what a perfect timing for this to happen..I go to my locker and grab my stuff slowly. I didn't want to walk home, I was terrified..but I finally was brave enough to leave the school. On my way home I couldn't think straight, constantly looking all directions around me. I even looked up at the dark, gray sky above. And the soggy and wet ground that my hurried feet walked on. I heard a stick break in the woods and I fell to my feet giving myself a bloody nose and scrapped knee. I hit my head on the ground below leaving me pasted out on the grassy side.
"Hello? Darling are you okay?? Honey??"
I wake up to see my mom in my face with pale white tone. She seemed to be crying...for quite awhile. Then it hit me..oh..the pain. Oh God the pain, make it stop please!
"OH MY PETE YOU'RE OKAY MY SWEET MARSHMALLOW!!"

"Y-yes..I'm fine, w-what happened..? What happened to me, why does it hurt everywhere?" I Said starting to cry

"Well you kind of tripped over like, some kind of clown horn? It was rusted, you just didn't see it...anyways you have a bloody nose, scrapped knee and a broke ankle so you'll be out for a few days."

"YES!! And um...strange?"
I was so happy to hear that I wouldn't have to go, for two reasons. First of all, I just..hate school and I wouldn't have to add on to the fear I had of these..clowns. After limping to my room I dived into my bed and turned on the TV once again.
"BREAKING NEWS!! CLOWNS SEEN ON BLUE CIRCLE ROAD!"
The second I heard that I let out a quiet scream and turned off the TV.
"That's my r-road.."
To comfort myself I turned my phone on and scrolled through my instagram feed.
* DING *
My notifications caught my attention, someone sent me a DM. I opened it and couldn't breath. I started to sweat and fear filled inside me as I panic. Someone called "Killer_clown_420" had messaged me.
"Tag you're it."
I obviously didn't respond, who would. I blocked the user assuming it was just a fake account and fell asleep after the eventful night.
*TAP...TAP...TAP......BANG*
I swung myself out of bed and let out a scream to find someone Breaking in through my window. I quickly run into my mom's room to see her missing, probably out, I take her phone and called 911 in the bathroom with the door locked.
"911 what's your emergency?"

"U-UM I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING. I THINK SOMEONE IS BREAKING IN P-PLEASE HURRY"

"Okay, we're on our way, our tracking device has your area. Stay in there until we get there."

7 minutes exactly had pasted before the cops showed up, turns out it was a clown..I got lucky they said. He was carrying a knife with him and he'd obviously murder me.

It's been a year since all that's happened and this whole nightmare has passed..I'm walking home from school through the woods since it was faster. The sun was out, but there was a breeze..just enough to keep myself cool. Birds are singing, kids are laughing, and.. a strange laugh is heard..
Behind me?
*creepy clown giggle*
