The Evil Within

Halloween

The neighbourhoods of haddonfield is littered with trick or treaters as they run around to each house collecting their mouth-watering sweets. The happy voices of children fill the streets, the cold October breeze howls as the night sky is dark and calming.

" How much candy do you got so far Alec?" The young boy dressed up as a pirate says. " A lot but I want more, at least until my bag is piled all the way to the top with candy!" The younger boy said wearing a skeleton costume. They both continue walking only to stumble into someone. They both look up.

"S-sorry mister." Alec says as they stare up at the man. The shape stares ahead at the streets of Haddonfield, his heavy breathing being silenced over the children going to each house with their trick or treat bags. The boys look at each other before walking around him simply confused and a bit freaked out. The shape slowly makes his way through the street silently as children run past him simply ignoring him. The shape silently slips down the side of a house walking to the back as the lights of the house illuminates his shadow on the fence.

His heavy footsteps make their way to the backdoor before he stops staring in through the screen door. A woman lays on the couch dressed in a large t-shirt with her bare legs showing, her hand reaching into the pile of candies as she takes one opening it and popping it in her mouth. The shape stares silently before opening the door quietly and slipping into the house before slowly making his way behind her.

The loud tv screen illuminates the room as the girl continues watching dipping her hand into the tasty sweets, Michael stares down at her silently before looking up at the tv. He watches as her hand grabs the remote and clicks a button before the screen goes black, her eyes widen.

The shapes large hand grabs her by the back of her head as she screams and flail making the bowl of candy fall to the ground. The knife pierces through her neck as blood spurts out flowing down to her chest, her struggles get weaker as gurgles and coughs are the only sounds coming from her bloody lips. She slowly looks up at him as he stares down at her before ripping the knife out dropping her from his grasp. Her body hits the floor as she lays limp, the house is dark and silent. The shape stares down at her before making his way out of the house and back onto the street.

Loud bangs come from inside the Myers house, Maddey's body collides with the door as her heavy breathing fills the room. She looks around for any type of weapon she could use, her small frame moves the bed looking under it but nothing. She turns towards the closet before noticing an old clothes hanger. She grabs it before straightening it walking over to the door before putting it through the lock, her hands shake as she turns it. A small click is heard making her eyes widen before she grabs the knob turning it making the door open creaking.

She grabs the hanger and quickly runs out of the room making her way towards the stairs. A door from downstairs creaks open before closing making her freeze. Her heart picks up more as she listens to the footsteps moving around downstairs before slowly making their way up the stairs. She backs up into a room quietly holding the hanger tightly as she tries to silence her breathing.

She freezes as a tan coat with a smaller man walks by her, making her quickly go to him. The man turns around as his eyes widen with shock as well as hers.

"...D-Dr Loomis...." Her eyes blurry up with tears as she quickly hugs him out of relief. He holds her tightly as he looks around the house for Michael. "Where is he?" She shutters and shakes her head. He looks around before leading her out of the house quietly before putting her into the passenger seat of his car. He gets in after her and they drive off, he looks at her from the corner of his eye as she lays against the seat looking out the window silently. "Your safe now Maddey you don't need to worry anymore." He says reassuringly, she continues looking out the window before glaring.

"....It's not until I kill him...."
