An extract from the local newspaper.

Another victim has fallen to the hooded man, Detective John Smith has been murdered two weeks ago by a unknown hooded killer who broke into their house at night and cut his neck open while he was asleep. Little evidence was left behind by the hooded figure, but the detective’s son managed to escape the killer and phone the police before hoodie managed to get to him. This is his story.

“It happened a few weeks ago around nine o’ clock and I couldn’t get to sleep! So I went downstairs to see my dog scratching at the door, this usually meant he needed to go for a walk so I got the usual stuff together and took him out to walk around the park near my estate.”

“An hour later I started to walk back to my house when I saw that the window next to the front door was shattered all over the floor, I ran inside to check if my father was okay but when I got to his bedroom,It was too late.I saw my father’s corpse on the floor and blood all over his bed, then I looked across the other side of the room to see a teenage boy at least my age, he was laughing demonicly while he cleaned his knife with his hoodie, he looked at me with a wide evil grin across his face, he said to me”

“You have ten seconds,” he started to count down “10 , 9, 8.”

“I ran to my father’s desk,quickly grabbed his phone and ran out the house as fast as I could, there was nothing I could do to save my father!”

“Once I ran out of the street,I quickly glanced to see if he was chasing me, he wasn’t there.I quickly dialed my father’s co-worker and told him everything that just happened and to come help me!”

“They didn’t catch him,but I swear they will, and I hope he is reading this article knowing that he will rot in prison for what he has done!”

Police are still on the lookout for this hooded figure. If you see someone with the description below near your area contact your nearest police department immediatly.

Kallum was on his way to school with his friends taking their usual route through the forest when they came across something that was unfamiliar to them. They stared at it for a good ten seconds and then started to walk over towards it. “What the hell is this?” Thomas mumbled to himself. They were looking at an old fenced off house that looked pretty old and run down. It looked like a house out of a horror movie or something.

“Anyone else coming?” Connor was already climbing over the fence that was blocking the entrance to the house.

“We shouldn’t be here anyway guys, lets hurry the hell up before we get into trouble for trespassing!” Kallum looked at them with and gave them a nod saying they should go. Connor ignored him and said “It won’t take a minute now! Stop being a coward and help me get over here!” Before Kallum could say anything Tomas was already giving him a foot up over the fence. “Fine,but only a minute!” said Kallum. Connor unlocked the gate and lead them through to the house. “We shouldn’t be doing this guys.” Thomas and Connor could see that Kallum was worried but they ignored him. “Hey look the door’s already open, do you think someone lives here?” “Yeah, someone lives in the middle of a forest with no roads connecting to it whatsoever and is allergic to the sun.” Connor laughed to himself.

“Your jokes never seem to amaze us my friend, that is for certain.” They entered the house, it was dark so they gave their eyes time to adjust to it. It seemed like a normal house. As they were walking through the doors, they were surprised to see that the floor was still in one piece! Every time they took a step it felt like the ground was going to give way to their weight.

“Alright, your minute’s up, let’s go!” They all started to walk out of the house and just about when Kallum was going to walk out the door he heard something. He could barely make out what he just heard but it sounded like “Smile.” He thought nothing of it and continued to walk out of the broken building and carry on his way to school with his friends.

“What are you drawing?” Kallum looked beside him to see that Jenny was leaning over him, it was a little creepy but he ignored her and went back to his work. “I know you don’t want to talk to me after what happened with Joe and his friends.” Kallum stopped drawing and turned around to look at her, his face bright red.

“You had to tell him didn’t you? You couldn’t just keep your mouth shut?!”

“I didn’t know he would take it that far! I swear, if it helps you in any way we broke up earlier today.” She took a few steps back. “Kallum?” He turned around to see Thomas and Connor standing behind him.

“I don’t need any more of this ********, lets go!” Kallum started to walk off Connor and Thomas followed.

“She was just trying to help you man!” Kallum ignored Thomas and carried on walking, “We’re here.” Kallum started to climb over the fence, Thomas and Connor did the same. The house was the same as they left it, creaky floorboards, shattered glass across the floor and even the door was left open.

“We have no where else to meet up and this is the closest landmark to any of our houses an-” Connor was cut off by something crashing upstairs.

Thomas jumped, “What the hell was that!?” They all paused for a few seconds and then started to laugh, “Should we see what caused that?”

Tomas looked worried but Connor and Kallum were still laughing. After a while they calmed down and started to investigate, it was surprising to see that this house may look big from the outside but was quite small within the house itself. There was a small hallway and two doors on each side, “You two take the two on the right.”

Kallum pointed to the doors, Tomas and Connor nodded. Kallum entered the room and shut the door behind him and then he started to look around. After a while looking in cupboards and closets and even under the bed, he noticed a black book that was sitting on the bedside table. Kallum exited the room and entered the next, It was pretty much the same as the last room but it felt different. The silence in the room was so quiet it started to hurt his ears. “Hello?”

Kallum felt stupid immediately after thinking he would get a reply. The closet on the opposite started to open Kallum froze with fear, the door stopped half way. Kallum slowly walked to the closet each step he took creaked making him feel more nervous. He stopped in front of the closet and as he was about to open it he paused, he took hold of the handle and then pulled it towards him, but before he could react the closet burst open. “Aarhhh!” Thomas and Connor jumped out at him and started laughing at him, “Jesus,what the hell!” After awhile, they calmed down and went downstairs. They sat down at the table in the kitchen and started to play on their iPods.

After a while they decided to go home but when Kallum got to his house he looked at his doorstep. The black book he saw on the table was at his doorstep. Kallum grabbed it and looked around in his street to see if anyone was watching him, maybe Connor or Thomas left it there as a joke to scare him, Kallum mumbled to himself “********…”The next day Kallum started to look into the book he found at his house the other day, “Some joke!”

The book just had a lot of drawings of what looked like smiley faces. “Is this what you were drawing yesterday?” Kallum turned to see Jenny leaning over him again, “What do you want?” Kallum closed the book and turned to her. “I don’t want us to split up not after what happened with Joe,ple-” Kallum stood up and walked off with the book between his arm, Jenny watched as he walked off into the school leaving her standing there alone. Kallum was at home watching Youtube videos on his computer since his parents were out he didn’t really have much to do. He heard the front door open downstairs.

“Hi!” Kallum shouted, but no reply, “Hi?”

Kallum still didn’t get a reply so he went downstairs to check it out. “Hello?” Kallum looked around but no one was anywhere to be found. Kallum walked over to the side of the kitchen and pulled out a kitchen knife.

He started to walk slowly through each of the rooms clutching the knife in his hand, as he entered the lounge the walls around him suddenly started to deteriorate as if it was happening before his eyes. Small drawings started to appear on the wall they looked like the smiley faces he saw in the book then suddenly his vision started to shake violently and heard a loud screech. It was getting louder and louder until he couldn’t take it anymore. He dropped to the floor and started rolling around violently. The screech was starting to become quieter.Then he saw a figure on the opposite side of the room.He couldn’t see it fully,but it wasn’t a person that was for sure.It was big and black on it’s four legs as he was about to look at its face the screeching became louder and then, it stopped, he blacked out.

Kallum woke up the next day in a hospital bed with his parents beside him,

“Are you okay, son?” his mother looked at him. With a worried smile across his face.

“W-where am I?”

“You’re in the hospital, we found you on floor unconscious.” After a while of talking to his family, they said their goodbyes and he laid there trying to sleep. Kallum’s eyes started to open, then something jumped onto his chest he tried to scream but it covered his mouth with its arm, that thing he saw before its face, it had that smile carved into it. He woke up breathing heavily like something was choking him, he looked to his right to see Jenny sitting next to him, “Are you okay?”

“Why are you he-”

“I’m here to apologize to you,but its pretty hard to when your being a ignorant *******.” Kallum laughed and they started to talk.

A few weeks later the hospital released him, he started seeing Jenny again and meeting up with his friends after school. Kallum got a text from Connor telling him to meet up at the house again, Kallum was a little annoyed at this because he just got back from there after walking home with him. He put on his black and gray hoodie and made his way to the house.

“Connor?” no one replied “Heeeelllloooooooo?” Kallum thought to himself that he made it here before him. Kallum walked into the kitchen when suddenly something sharp smashed across his head. He fell to the floor confused and turned to see what happened.

“Surprise!” Kallum knew instantly who it was. Joe. He kneeled down to him and pulled out a knife. “Did you think I wouldn’t know? Did you really think I wouldn’t know you’re trying to steal my girl away from me!?” He laughed and four more figures came out behind him, he knew two of them from school Troy and Daniel but the other two he didn’t.

“How did you find me?” Joe merely laughed at the question.

“We followed you after school and stole your friends phone as well, you’re stealing her from me and I can’t allow that to happen!”

“I wasn’t stealing her from you, she just doesn’t like you an-” Kallum was cut off by Joe stabbing his knife into Kallum’s leg. He screamed in pain but Joe’s friends including himself just laughed at him. Kallum started to breathe heavily, squeezed his eyes shut, and clutched at his leg where the knife remained buried in his flesh. Thomas and Connor came out from behind clutching the kitchen knives next to the door, Thomas bolted at Joe but Troy grabbed him and threw him across the floor. Connor ran at Troy and stabbed him in the arm, but Daniel pulled out a gun from under his jacket and started to shoot at him, and Connor’s lifeless body fell to the floor like a rag doll. He was dead before he hit the floorboards.

“You killed him…” Kallum whispered in disbelief, eyes wide.

Kallum started to stand up but Joe just kicked him back down. “He didn’t have to get involved into this but-” Joe jumped away from the knife that Thomas tried to swing at him from behind.

Joe took another one out of his pocket and stabbed Thomas in the neck. Kallum didn’t waste a second. He pulled out the knife from his leg and drop kicked Joe in the face and made it out of the door hearing gunshots behind him.

“Don’t let him get away!” Joe and his friends ran after him.

Kallum ran through the forest and ended up at his school, he ran to the first building he saw which was the D.T department. He could hear Joe and his friends not far behind him, shouting viciously. He tried opening the glass door but it wouldn’t budge it was locked. Suddenly, he was grabbed by Daniel and thrown up against the door. “Need a hand!?” he laughed and started beating him bloody against the glass door until it broke into shards. Daniel grabbed his knife but before he could do anything, Kallum stabbed a large shard of glass into his neck “Die you *****!”. But before Kallum could continue to stab him more, Joe and his friends were rushing towards him and Kallum ran into the first room he could see. He barricaded the door with the table and looked around for another weapon. They broke through the door and started to look around for him. “Where are you?!”

Joe kicked a chair out of his way. “I know your here somewhere!” Troy and the other hooded person looked around in the carpenter room, without any warning Kallum jumped onto the hooded man and twisted his neck. He could hear the sickening sound of the spine crack as he did it. Troy rushed Kallum and pinned him down against a machine and started it. The saw started to move and spin, it started to cut across Kallum’s cheek, almost touching his lips. He screamed, kicked Troy in the balls, and smashed his head across the wall. Kallum grabbed a hacksaw and started cutting into Troy’s neck, he screamed in terror but Kallum just laughed crazily.

Three down two to go! Kallum thought. Joe’s other friend came in and saw what Kallum was doing to Troy, but before he could react, Kallum threw Troy’s knife at his stomach. He yelped, trying to scream, but Kallum was to fast. He grabbed the knife from his stomach and slit his neck.

“Where are you, Joe!? Hahahaha, I want to play!” Kallum’s lost his sanity long ago at the house and was bleeding heavily as he walked through the hallways, waiting for his rival to appear. He turned around to see Joe standing on the opposite side of hallway that was splattered with his blood.

“Troy, Mike, Phil! He’s up here!”

“Oh don’t worry, they wont be coming up here anytime soon. Hahahaha!”

“You *******! I’ll kill you!” Joe ran at Kallum but slipped on the blood and fell head first on the floor, “Didn’t you read the sign? Caution, floor is wet! Hahahahaha!”

Kallum grabbed Joe’s hands and pinned him across the floor like he did to Troy. Kallum started to cut through his wrist with the hacksaw, torturing him slowly. “Aaahhhhhh”

Joe screamed in agony, “Stop screaming otherwise we won’t hear the bone snap! HAHAHAHAHA!”

As Kallum was about to do the same to his foot, Joe cut his knife across Kallum’s bottom jaw but Kallum grabbed his wrist twisted it, pulled the knife out of his hand and stabbed it into Joe’s neck. As Joe’s eyes were closing, he could see behind Kallum, a black humanoid figure stood behind Kallum and his scarred face.

“Sshhhhhh,don’t cry. She will be joining you soon. After all, it’s her fault.”
