A Nightmare before Halloween

Chapter 3

Alex pushed his body against the door as the monster pushed to get in. As his body was giving out he saw a wood plank in the corner and extended his leg to scoot the wood plank towards him. Alex quickly took his pressure off the door and grabbed the wood plank and without a moment's hesitation he slammed the wood plank on the door. Alex walked away from the door and looked at the moon's dim light shining through the window. His mood changed from survival mode to frustration and anger as he took an old flower vase and chucked it at the wall. The sound of glass shattering beat the sound of the monster pounding on the door. He went up to the wall and hit it immediately rubbing his fist cause of the pain. Alex sat on the floor of the dark and dusty room. He didn't know what to do anymore, he didn't know what to think anymore. He started sobbing, covering it all up by burying his face in his arms. A few minutes pass and Alex quickly awakens after a large crash alerts him up. He didn't remember ever falling asleep all he remembered was the pain and frustration. Alex got up wiping the drool of his face and sees that the door is giving out, the monster was committed to getting in that room.

Alex panicked and looked all around and something caught his eye, an old dusty dresser covered in cobwebs sat in the dark corner camouflaging itself from plain sight. Alex quickly runs to the dresser and starts to rummage through the drawers. After the 2nd drawer he was in luck as he pulled a rusty old crowbar knowing it would be useful he took it out and held it proudly. Alex thought quick and started pushing the dresser into the doorway. With the doorway secured it gave him more time to find a way out. As Alex was searching top to bottom around the room he sees a crease in one of the stone walls he kneels down to take a closer look. He slips his fingers through the creases and hope floods his mind as he takes the crowbar and fits it through the crease and starts to pull. Alex pulls with all the strength he has left, he ached every part of him was aching. "Aagh" he groans as he tenses his muscles and the wall block falls loose. Alex's face went from a smile to a look of awe as he removed the block only to find another brick.
"Son of a bitch!" he yells Throwing the crowbar on the ground making a metallic sound as it hits the floor.

The pounding on the door starts to get more vicious and noisy, Alex flailed his hands in frustration, with every second passing his Sanity fading.

With time running out for Alex he had run out of ideas or plans the only thing left was something he had been dreading, "Fuuckk" Alex says he starts heading for the window. The cold breeze hit Alex's face instantly as he slides the window upwards. It felt as though his heart had sunk into his chest as he looked down the two stories between him and the ground. Alex gulps nervously as he starts to make his way out the window, securing his right foot onto a 1 ½ inch wide window ledge followed by his left foot.  Alex grips tightly into small stubs left by a damage old house, he didn't dare to look down, he knew doing that would make things way worse. 12ft to the left of him was a small roof underneath the picture windows that Alex could easily climb onto, but first he needed to get through the hardest part ...getting there.

*left foot scoots to the left, right foot follows*
*left foot scoots to the left, right foot follows*

Alex continued this pattern with only 5 ft. more to go, he started smiling into relief, he finally felt like he was going to make it this time. The feeling of calmness quickly faded away as a loud shriek filled the quiet night sky. "Shit!" Alex says as he starts rushing it to the rooftop, in a matter of 3 seconds Alex’s foot misses a step and catches him off balance subsequently falling off the ledge. *THUD!* as Alex hits the ground heard. Alex lay there breathless more shocked than hurt. After a few seconds he remembers his situation and knows he must continue. "Augh" Alex groans as he tries to get himself up only to fall down again. As he lay there his mind fighting a losing battle to stay awake, within a blink of an eye Alex falls into a deep sleep.  Droplets of water fall onto Alex’s face subsequently waking him up, he groans as he gets up, but to his surprise just fine. "What the hell?" Alex says as he looks around only to see deep dark emptiness. The only sound was the faucet above Alex and the sounds of Alex's footsteps as he hastily walks around. Alex goes to a complete stop as he hears something in the distance, closer he approached the sound making it easier to distinguish the sounds. As he walked towards the sound he can make out into the darkness a figure, the figure was wearing a dress and had pale skin.

As he gets closer he could see it was a little girl, the little girl had her knees tucked under her chin sitting down sobbing her eyes out. "Hello?" Alex says as he stops 7ft behind the crying child. "Hello?" Alex calls again louder than he expected. The emptiness grows still and silent as the child stops crying, after a minute of awkward silence Alex builds up the courage and starts to walk towards her but stops in his tracks as the little girl turns around to face him. Her eyes were a dull green, her skin was a light grey, she had cuts and scabs on her face followed by bruises on her arms. "Its coming for you, you know" the little girl says looking up at Alex.
"What?!" Alex asked startled by the haunting words that the child spoke, he felt a cold chill run through his spine.
"Its going to get you" the little girl says in a menacing voice followed by a chuckle

Alex starts to back away only to hear a voice behind him.

"You can't stop it we all tried" the voice behind Alex says.

Alex hastily turns around to see a boy in a white polo shirt. The little boy had matted down hair which looked like it hadn't been washed in years. The strangest thing about him was that he had no eyes. After the boy spoke other kids with the same features as the little boy appeared all around him

"It trapped us down here" a little girl in the crowd says in a whisper

"It won't let us leave" one said in a wine

"Who? Who won't let you leave?" Alex says horrified.

"It" the children say in unison as they point behind Alex. As he turns around he sees the monster 5 meters away from him, her teeth sharp and her demonic pale red eyes stared at him. Alex felt his heart drop as he looked behind only to see that the kids were gone, it was only him and the monster. Alex is startled when he looks back in the monster's direction only to see she was missing.

"Shit" Alex says as he starts to head the other way.

Without looking back Alex runs with all the energy he had, tears filled his eyes as he forced his aching body to push forward. Alex's thoughts were interrupted as the monster tackled him to the floor. Its wicked screams filled the emptiness.

Alex woke up fast with a jolt with a cold sweat, breathing heavily. "Fuuckk" Alex says as he starts to get up until a drop of blood hits the ground. "What the hell?" Alex says as he feels his head only to be greeted by more blood. He held onto a nearby tree branch to get up. Alex starts to tear up as he starts to feel a huge pain in his right leg. Alex walked around the house and found a door leading to the kitchen and walked in.
