The Dark Figure

Jack walked to his car and unlocked it. Suddenly, he heard a stick break in half coming from the dark woods. A dark figure walked slowly to Detective Jack, Jack tries to get a glimpse of the figure but, he sees only black. Jack looks away and moves his hand to the car door to open it, he gets a glimps at the reflection of the window and the Dark Figure is right there! Jack calls for help but no one responds as he quickly turns around to hit the figure.

Unfortunately, the dark figure grabs Jack's wrist, lifts it's hands up over Jack's head and knocks him out with the end of the knife. A little while later, The dark figure splashes water on Jack's face, Jack opens his eyes weakly and tried to look around but he only saw darkness. He realised that he is in a dark basement, he tries to get up and move his hands but he can't. He feels a tight and hard texture around his hands and feet. He's tied up!

Jack screams with fear "W... Who's there!?" But there was no response just, silence. He focuses his eyes and sees a figure sitting on a chair, he sees the difference between the darkness and the dark figure. The dark figure knew that Jack could see it, so, the dark figure beats Jack up until he passes out from the pain, the figure left Jack to his sleep. Later, Jack wakes up to a cold feeling on his right cheek, he opens his eyes to find the dead girl, Maggy, glowing white. It was her spirit/ghost!

They were staring at each other in the eyes. Jack had a frightened look on his face. No one spoke or moved until Maggy's ghost looks over his head to get away from his frightened stare, gets up, floats behind Jack, unties the rope on his hands, and fades away. Jack moved his hands and fingers around, sits up straight, moves his shoulders around in a circular position, bends down, and unties the rope on his feet. Then, the stairs started to creak and Jack could hear footsteps coming down the stairs slowly.

Jack knew it was the dark figure so he stayed on the chair and hid his hands behind his back. The dark figure stares at Jack without saying a word, it walks up to him slowly and stops in front of Jack. Jack spits on the dark figures shoe, the figure throws a punch but Jack dodges it and holds the dark figure's wrist. The figure becomes surprised trying to figure out how Jack got untied, Jack throws a punch at the figure's stomach and they fight until the figure passes out. Later on, Jack runs through the basement and into the house to get out, while he ran he found and picked up his tools/weapons.
