Lakewood was a quite, peaceful town filled with joy and laughter that made this town remembered as a good one. But it all began on one mysterious night at Audrey Jensen's house with her two best friends Jasper Duval and Noah Foster. All unaware of tomorrow's events.

"Okay, no offence Jasper but the most iconic horror movie villian is hands down Freddy Kruger" The light brown haired boy known as Noah Foster said eagerly trying to change Jasper's opinion. He raised his arms up in defence "Can't agree with you there Foster" he said while looking down at his phone noticing it was now 11:03 he glanced away and up at the two who were looking across the table at him "Anthony Perkins, Psycho" He stated getting up from the chair he once sat on as the other two did the same. "Like serioulsy the shower scene is an absolute classic" Jasper said as he pretended to stab Audrey with a knife while making the intense famous psycho soundtrack with his voice making it high pitched. Audrey playfully pushed Jaspers arm who looked at her pouting sadly.

"Your no fun Jensen" Noah speaks up looking down at Audrey who was trying to contain her laughter "speaking of no fun where were you earlier?" Jasper nods in agreement as Audrey's smile begins to fade and looks down trying to hid the secret she has kept to herself for a while. "Yeah A, are we no fun?" the raven haired boy said while chuckling as did Noah. "I already told you guys I was at school collecting a few things" the two boys gave each other a concerned look but lose eye contact when Audrey looked up.

It was silent for a few moments, the only sound heard was Jasper's foot connecting to the ground lightly multiple times. "well, I gotta go" He said walking towards the wooden door as the others followed "or my mom will kill me" He swung the door open making his raven locks blow backwards and out of his face. He turned back to look at his two best friends, his best friends since kindergarten. Jasper smiled happily grateful for who and what he had in his life "see you tomorrow guys" he said while trotting down the stairs and onto the footpath looking back at the two who were waving back. Little did he know that everything he was once grateful for would turn into something else.

Lakewood was quiet, not the kind of town where major events would occur. The only sound heard through the dark deserted streets was the sound of Jasper's shoes scrapping against the gravel. His headphones blasting with music as he walked down the path that would soon lead to his house. Suddenly an eerie scream locked Jasper out of his thoughts, he immediately took of his headphones placing them around his neck glancing around. All he saw was the road lightened by the street lights, he shrugged thinking to himself that he was just imagining things. He slowly raised his headphones to his ears as he heard the scream once again, making his whole body shake he quickly snapped his head in the direction of Nina Patterson's house which happened to be right across the road from where the boy now stood. He didn't know weather to call the police or to try to help the screams that were now echoing through lakewood's deserted streets. He took a deep breath as he rushed across the road and towards Nina's house, he saw a side gate and reluctantly went towards it. He clasped onto the wooden handle and tried to open it with all his strength and sighed looking down at the locked door.....it was useless.

"Please don't" he heard the pleading voice of Nina Patterson. There was a sudden splash making him more worried of what was lurking behind the wooden door that stopped him from finding out. Jasper noticed a hole in the door and without a seconds thought looked through, his ocean blue eyes seeing something so horrific that he couldn't look away at the man with the mask looking down at the body in the pool, the body of Nina Patterson. She was dead. Not just dead but murdered.
