So this is a short story I did back in 2010 haha.. Don't hate on it to much please.
It was another gulmy day, when the wind blew due south- east, you could still smell the blood from that night on june 18th. The night that the town of Canso all remember so well, it was the night they lost 5 teens from Canso Academy. Just weeks after their graduation Kandace, Amanda, John, Adam, Michael and Kate where beaten, seen their loved one die and burtly murderd.
It was June 17 when John decided to have a party at his parents house while they where away. He called Amanda, Kate, Adam, Michael and I. We where the partyers in our class. Just a few days ago, I got this letter in the mail saying "we will be watching you" , I thought it was a joke from John and Adam. Turns out, it was from the two men who killed my friends.
We arived at Johns around 6:45, the music was already blearing. We started drinking, not long after the phone rang. John walked over and anwered " Hello" he said. Their was no sound, then a faint voice said "Lets play a game". John put the phone on speeker so we could all hear. " what kind of game", john said. "I'm not interrupting anything am I. You six look deep in thought. Have you ever felt a knife cut through human flesh and scrape the bone beneath" said the man. I ran over and hung up the phone. We all looked at each other for a few minutes. " I'm scared you guys" said Kate, It was just someone pulling a prank, right? I said. Micheal ran to lock the front and back door, "just incase", he said, I walked over to Michael and he put his arm around me. John went up to his room, then came back down with something that looked like a gun. We might need this if where dealing with someone, who wasnt kidding. By this time it was 11:11pm, and we where all getting very tired. John set the alram, so no one could get in. We went to bed, not knowning what was next.
It was 3Am, when the phone rang. I hured Kate, wake up John, by the time we all got to the phone it stoped ringing. "Crash" We all turned around to see the frount window broken in a goshtly looking face stearing at us. John ran over and grabed the gun, by the time he got back the face was gone.
I ran up to the bathroom, Michael ran after me, by the time I hit the top step he had me in his arms. "Its going to be alright sweetheart, I swear", Michael said. I was crying, I new that this would end badly.Someone was going to die, that someone was going to be one of my close friends.
The next thing I know I hear Amanda and Kate screaming and a gun going off. Michael and I ran down stears to find Adam with a knife in his back, laying face down in his own blood, dead. "What happend" said Michael. I went over to Kate and helped her up, she was so up set, Adam was her boyfriend of 3 years, she was covered in his blood. " Adam was walking in to the kitchen, then he fell, the man through his knife and hit Adam in the back, I tryed to shoot him", said John.
Amanda and I took Kate up-stears to get in the shower, while the two boys went out in the gurage for wood to fix the window. They gave me the gun, incase the man got in. While Kate was in the shower, Amanda and I where talking about Kate thinking she was pregnate and not wanting to tell Adam, "he would of been a good father", said Amanda. "I wish she had of told him, we wouldnt of been partying tonight" I said. The shower stoped and Kate got out, a few seconds later she screamed. Amanda and I ran in the bathroom to find " Where comming for you" on the marror in blood. "That wasnt their when I got in the shower", said Kate. "No one got in, we would of seen", I said. "Unless they came in from the window", said Amanda. We all looked at the window, it was wide open. Lets get the boys, I yelled to Michael.
I hured Michael and John running up the steps, "Whats wrong", said John. We pointed to the merror, Michael put his arm around me, "This is some messed up, what did we ever do to anyone?", said John. We all went quit, we hured foot steps comming up from the kitchen. Amanda ran to close the door and lock it, Michael ran to close the window. We all stood their quit, from under the door we could see black, it was him it was the man who killed Adam, he wanted us. Kate screamed, John covered her mouth. "Its no use to hid from us, will get you sooner or latter", said the man. I looked at Amanda, "we", I said, in only a voice that amanda, Michael, John and Kate could hear.
