Okay, so most of you know EJ's story but the one I'm going off of may not be the one you know. I can't find the original but I know it goes something like this.

In the year of 1888 there was a young boy named Jack. Jack was a young boy living with his family. His family was part of a cult that sacrificed their first born son and another family's daughter when they turn 18 once every two years. Jack was the firs born and he had just turned 18. He knew what was coming but he didn't know what they did or that he would be the sacrifice. He had never seen it happen before. He didn't quite know anyone because he preferred to stay inside and study medical. He wanted to become a doctor because his father was one. He loved dissecting animals. Eventually, his father decided to bring the patients that didn't make it home and teach his son how the body worked. Jack was fascinated by the human body and was able to locate any organ in the body almost immediately. But unfortunately, his parents had other ideas for their son. The day had arrived, Jack was 18 years and 9 months old. They brought him out to a circle by a lake. They blindfolded him and tied his hands behind his back. They brought him out and tied him back to back with a girl around his age. Once the blindfold was taken off, the leader of their cult dug his fingers into his scull, scooping out his eyes as he screamed, ordering and pleading him to stop. Once Jack was done, they moved to the girl. Jack could do nothing but listen the girls screams and pleas for help, feel her thrashing body behind him, wish he could save her. They untied the teenagers and lied them side by side, pacing up at the sky on a small slope towards the sea. Within his last fading moments, Jack drew up the last of his strength, felt around, and grabbed the girls hand, whispering, "I will come back and avenge our deaths, I promise. I will eat them alive, make sure they suffer just as much as we did." He was able to feel the girl squeeze his hand and whisper "And I'll be by your side, I promise." As he died, he smiled and tears streamed down his face. He may not have known the girl, but he knew, they would be together in immortality for ever. Though Jack had been presumably dead, he rose again the next night and looked down at the dead girl, remembering his promise. He walked over to the lake, seeing his grayed skin and empty sockets, dripping a black gooey substance. He and the girl were left with masks held in their hands. He took the mask and proceeded to the small village, killing half and eating their organs. Jack had never forgotten that promise he made, and he probably never will.

I plan on changing some things, like Jack knowing the girl and the girl being you. Just simple things like that. But other than that, I'm not changing anything else.
