The Dangerous Game

Chapter Seven

A/N:okay so just to prepare you guys...shit is about to get intense. So prepare yourselves.

Jesse's POV
I knew things were going to go bad.

After that day Tyler died things were quiet. And even though I knew it wasn't over I got comfortable. Too comfortable.

It was Halloween and I was dressed in a jedi costume. Ashley was in a ninja costume and Anthony was dressed as a samurai master.

We were going to go to a Halloween party that we were invited to. My gut was telling me not to go. Telling me that shit was going to go wrong. But I didn't pay attention to the signs.

On our way there we ran into a couple stranded on the side of the road. Their car had broken down and I had offered to help.

That was where everything went wrong.

As I'm leaning over the hood, taking a look at the engine I feel the guy shift behind me and I hear Anthony yell my name.

"Jesse!"

I frowned and spun around. The guy has a wrench and I ducked out of the way as he tries to hit me with it. I scramble away from him.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" I say. I look around frantically. There's no sign of his alleged girlfriend. Looking closer at the wrench, I see fresh blood on the end. And there was blood all over his clothes.

Oh God. He killed her.

I scramble to my feet turning around and running for the car. Anthony was there urging me to hurry. I pull the keys out and slide across the hood to my side of the car, jumping in. I placed the key in ignition and tried to start the car.

Nothing happened. "Come on. Come on." I keep trying to start the car and I look out the window and saw him coming towards the car. He now had on a clown mask and I said,

"Fuck this! Get out and run!" I jump out the car and start running in the direction we were headed before we stopped to help this lunatic. I can hear Anthony and Ashley behind me and I'm sprinting as fast as I can.

Over my own labored breathing I can hear the guy behind us. I'm becoming short of breath and I knew I couldn't keep running forever. None of us could.

The road was dark, with only street lamps to light it up. Up ahead I saw a hotel. The closer we got I saw that it was the hotel where the Halloween bash was being held. I could hear the music and I sped up.

Then out of no where, a clown came out of the shadows and rammed into me. I went down hard, landing on my side, with the clown on top of me. I gasp as the wind was knocked out of me and struggle underneath him.

"Get the fuck off me!" I shout and try to kick the guy off me. I hear Ashley scream and I turn my head to see her get hit in the head with a bat. She looks dazed and the clown hit her again. I watch as he bashed her skull in, the sound of cracking filling my ears.

"ASHLEY!" I screamed. I watch unable to do anything as he killed her. He turns to me, a sick smile on his face. I feel tears well in my eyes and I struggle more than ever. I admit, I'm fucking terrified.

"JESSE!" I heard Anthony call out to me. I'm staring at Ashley's bloody body. "Jesse look at me!"

I slowly turn to look at Anthony. I'm crying and I know a look of pure terror resides on my face.

"You're gonna be okay." Was the only thing I heard before the guy on top of me swings a pipe at my head and everything goes black.

**********
I wake up with a gasp and I sit up fast, making the room spin around me. I'm lying on a stone cold floor in the middle of the room, with a metal door on the other side.
