A Fate Worse Than Death

A Fate Worse Than Death 5

Slender Sights
( As Officer Banks drives them to the station he can't help but peer into his rear facing mirror to ocassionally glance at the seemingly petrified and startled young adults that sat behind him. Most notably Thomas.  He wanted to interrogate them more but couldn't help but feel this overwhelming sense of dread and discomfort . He couldn't believe the amount of it he felt brought on by just this boy's prescence . Not just any feeling of dread or your occasional paranoia but that feeling you get before a situation turns bad . Before it goes horribly wrong ...)
(Precinct)

(Officer Banks brings them inside. Upon entering though...They get brought to three different interrogation rooms . Rachel speaks to Officers Banks and Jones . Mark goes to the second room with Dunlap and Boils and last Thomas is taken with Detective White and the Chief Josiah Walters. )
Good Evening Ms. Everdean this is Officer Eris Jones . (Eris gives nod.) You wanna tell us your version of this ? As you know Mr.Powell is dead and quite frankly we need some answers ... Answers ? But we told you what happened.... Could you enlighten us more ? Perhaps give us a bit more detail ? ... (Eris chimes in at this point .)  Let's start with what brought you to Mr. Powell's apartment in the first place ? ... We were there to talk to him about that Slender man thing .... Like the one that caused those two young girls to murder their friend ?... Yes that thing.... What made you want to discuss it ? ... It was Mark and Simon . They believed it could help Thomas get over that encounter with that man who attacked him .... How so ? ... We were going to watch a documentary on it. After all Thomas enjoys a good horror movie .... Yes , well what happened then ? We were ...(The horrors of that moment came writhing back up into Rachel's mind . Filling her with the horrifying experience as if she was reliving it.)   We were attacked .... (Simulataneously Mark is elaborating the attack .)
All I know is we were chilling one moment and talking about Simon's favorite monster thing and then... (  Mark begins to think to himself on the truth behind Simon's death.) When what son?... When that man came in there and killed him!... The homeless man ?.. Yeah him!... He killed Simon.  Me and Rachel heard it as we ran out ... What about your friend? Thomas? .. I don't know what he was doing to him in there . .. This homeless man has been pretty active young man and he's beyond dangerous . Did you manage to get a good look at him this time ?... Yeah but he had on this mask that made him seem like he had no face.... Right .. I believe we have our suspect again... He seems to be after your friend in there . You all should have been obeying the curfew ... (Mark agrees as the Chief and White interrogate Thomas further down the corridor.) Mr.Delaney now you said this man or "IT" , attacked and killed Simon?... It was him , that .. That thing ! ... Now calm down son he's just a man . A sick one but just a man .... No . NO . No he isn't just a man . How do you explain his faceless appearance and how that he killed Simon and held me hostage ?!.. Try and remain calm young man now tell me what did he tell you ? Did you get a name or anything ?... Slender man... Oh not this shit. (Muttered The Chief)... I am serious he told me that was his name and he killed Simon !.. Now about Simon . Officers Dunlap and Banks said on initial entry they didn't see you or this killer or even the body . Only after Banks found the blood on the ceiling and the note did they find the body on the ceiling and you in the corner ... I'm telling you the truth I didn't kill Simon , look it gave me these! ( Thomas shows them his wrists .) Oh man son don't you know these symbols have been at every crime scene this killer's been at ? ..

HE SEES YOU !
( Before Thomas could answer the radios and tech throughout the precinct began to go static and as Detective White listens to the chatter on radio he hears the phrases "HE SEES YOU" and "YOUR NEXT". Thomas begins to cry as does Rachel and Mark says ...) .. It's here.... ( By then a darkness consumes the precinct and the entire place goes dead silent . Officers desperately try to figure out what happened and Detective White grabs his flashlight in the chaos he looks down back at Thomas . He notices the boy gone and a dark mass emanating from the corner . Far darker than the rest of the room. Afraid White opens fire on the shadowy figure as does The Chief and like that the precinct goes on lock down.. Rachel and Mark are locked in with the officers as they await for dispatch.)
