Hello again, my Cookiez and Creem. I'm had with one more story. It's kind of long, so enjoy.

I don't own the story, I found it online.

There once was a family of five. 3 kids and 2 parents who loved their kids with all their hearts. The family lived in a small town called Bakerston. Bakerston was known for it's lack of crime and everything was usually peaceful there.

The eldest child, Felicity, was known all over town for being great with kids. She would says look after her brothers, Raymond and Rory. They liked to play hide and seek with their own special twist!

The boys would hide around the house while Felicity stood in a corner and chanted: "Children, children all around. Run before you can be found. For I am on the loose today. Run before I can say..." then she would wait, listening to the shuffling of their feet, trying to find a hiding spot. When she knew where the kids were hiding, she would say, "BOO!"

If she was correct, the boy would say, "Hello Felicity!" If they heard her say this, but she didn't find them, they would run to another hiding spot.

The children absolutely LOVED this game and insisted they'd play it all the time. One night when the parents went out, they left Felicity in charge. They played the game all might. Suddenly, there was a knocking on the door.

"I think it's Mother and Father," Felicity said. "Get in bed and pretend you're asleep." Raymond and Rory slid across the floor and jumped into the covers. They then heard the intercom turn on. The intercom connected to all the rooms in the house. Felicity began speaking.

"Children, children all around..." she was talking in a frightened whisper that sent a shiver up the kids' backs. "Run before you can be found..." another voice said. "For he is on the loose today, hide before he can say..."

"She wants to play," Rory whispered. It came on again.

"Children, children all around..." Silence. "Run before you can be found..." Silence. "For it is on the loose today, hide before I can say..."

Raymond giggled and pulled Rory into the closet; their favorite hiding spot. A new sound filled the air.

THUD *shuffle, shuffle* THUD THUD *shuffle, bang* *shuffle, shuffle, boom* THUD, THUD THUD!

"Children, children all around. Run before you can be found. For I am on the loose today. Run before I can say..." the silence. It was quiet for a very long time.

Then, quiet as a mouse, they heard from right outside the closet, "boo..." Rory was about to yell, "HELLO FELICITY!" but Raymond clapped a hand over his out.

Then somewhere in the closet, a different voice whispered, "Hello Felicity..." The boys froze in horror. Felicity started crying outside.

"New game," she sobbed. "Rory is it."

****

The parents came home to a horrible sight. They found a letter (opened by Felicity) saying: "I want to play your game. I'm in the kids' room"

The next day, they found Raymond. His eyes were sewn shut and he was smashed under the sink. The day after, they found Rory. His eyes were sewn shut and he was shoved under his bed. The third day, they found Felicity. Her eyes were sewn shut and she was stuffed inside a cupboard. The parents grieved and the bodies were buried.

A week later, though, a man's body was found in the boys' closet. He had a sewing kit in his cold, dead hands. The thuds and shuffle noises Raymond and Rory heard were Felicity bumping into walls, looking for them. She couldn't see, for her eyes were sewn shut.

Some say you can still hear Felicity's voice.

Children, children all around,

Run before you can be found,

For I am on the loose today,

Run before I can say,

"BOO!"

[Tell the story to your friends. At the last second, have a friend jump out with makeup to make her eyes look sewed shut and shout BOO! You're welcome!]
