You go to a haunted house party, with your friends and everything goes horribly wrong, the blood didn't look fake...
You, and your friends are in the room with a serial killer, that's been all over the news lately,
Your friends shoved you towards the killer, run out the room and locked the only exit, you just sit there shocked your asshole friends left you for dead.
After a few minutes of him watching you like a eagle watches it's prey.
He speaks, well that's fucking messed up, he approaches and to what makes you think it's your last breath.
He starts to help you up and hands you the knife. So want revenge, he says with a evil smile, that would make anyone piss themselves.
but I'm not anyone.
He's about to find out who the real psycho is.
Anyway when you first read it would be set before she goes to the party. The date is obviously on Halloween night 👻.
