The Evil Within

Chapter 13

The cold breeze flows through the air as the leaves fly around into the air before slowly falling to the ground. The sun slowly goes down as the sky begins to get darker as the houses of Haddonfield lighten up with spooky Halloween decorations. Children get dressed in their colourful and scary costumes as they prepare their pillowcases for collecting sweets from the neighbouring houses. All the houses were brightly decorated and alive with colour except the old myers house that was dark and broken down, abandoned for years.

Maddey stared at the kids walking by, she could easily catch their attention and call for help but Michael was somewhere still in the house. Even with the silence and darkness in the house she could almost feel the presence of Michael, like he was somehow watching her from inside the room. She quietly takes the phone out of her pants and turns it on, the bright screen blinds her a bit making her squint at the screen. She tries opening the phone only for a passcode to stop her from proceeding.

"Shit....." She whispers. Her eyes scan the screen only to notice emergency on the bottom left making her tap it. Her fingers dial the number before looking at the door trying to stay quiet, she taps the call button and silently waits watching the door.

"911 what's your emergency?" A voice says comes from the other side of the phone making her breath out of relief.

" I n-need help I've been kidnapped...." She says shakily still watching the door.

" Can you tell me where you are?" The operator says typing into the computer.

"I'm in some kind of n-neighbourhood...I'm being held i-in a room...please just send someone..."She looks out the window quickly before looking back at the door. "Mam, do you see anyone outside you could possibly call out to for help?" The operator types more. "I can't otherwise he will h-here me...." The operator stops typing. " Who will mam?"

A low creak from behind the door causes Maddey to freeze abruptly staring at the door. "Mam?" The operators voice echoes from the other end as she stays frozen continuing to stare at the door. The doorknob turns as she quickly tries to hide the phone as the operator continues to call for her. The door is thrown open as Michael stands there watching her silently, she looks at the wall with her back to him staying silent holding the phone against her chest. The sound of Michael's heavy slow footsteps get closer as she shrinks at each step. He stops standing above her small frame as his muffled breathing fills the room, she moves the phone closer to her chest trying to hide it more.

Michael's large hand grabs her arm roughly turning him towards her as she screams in sheer panic. He hovers over her with his large hand tightly grasped around her smaller one in an iron grip. She shivers as she can feel his eyes trail over her face before slowly moving down to her hand, he stares longingly at the device in her grasp. Michael's grasp suddenly tightens as his other hand rips the phone from her hand making her flinch as the phone hits the ground. Michael's steps on the phone crushing it under his heavy boot, he looks up at her throwing her onto the bed as she quickly sits up as Michael stares at her breathing heavier with rage.

She looks at the door before quickly sprinting off the bed only for Michael to grasp her hair pulling her back into his chest as she screams. He holds her tightly as she struggles screaming and crying loudly, his anger rises. He pushes her against the wall before grabbing his knife stabbing it into the wall beside her making her flinch crying. Tears abruptly fall down her face as her whimpers and cries break, Michael's chest heaves with rage as he stares down at her before he slowly moves his hand to her face cupping it. She flinches making him roughly grab her chin making her look at him.

"Look...a-at....m-...m-me.." He says darkly. She ignores him as more tears fall. He pulls the knife out before pressing it against her neck making her freeze.

"L-Look...a-at m-me!" He yells breathing heavily. Her eyes open as tears continue to fall.

They stare at one another before Michael let's go of her chin but keeps the knife there reminding her he has the upper hand. " Y-Your..mine.." His low raspy voice says darkly. "N-No..one...can t-take...y-you away...f-from...me..." He moves the knife closer to her neck making her flinch as more tears fall down her face.
