Hi my name is James, I'm new to New Braunfels. So far I've made one new friend his name is Thomas.
He's a pretty cool dude. He tells me stories about an abandon house that he wants to check out, but whenever he does, he tries to bring me into the story and I tell him that I don't want to go. "What are you scared?" Said Thomas with a grin. "No I just don't think it's a good idea." I said trying to hold back the worry in my voice. He could probably tell that I was scared, and I was. I had every right to be scared. I mean look at that house! It's dark, no door and windows, it's all brown and moldy and there's a hole in the attic. When it got late I told him I was going home but I didn't see him. "Hey over here." I heard him but I couldn't see him. "Where are you?" I said. "By the house. Hurry up and get over hear. I want to show you something." His voice sounded very high pitched as if he was scared. "No I'm going home" Then I paused hearing a very high pitch scream. "HELP IT'S GOT ME! IT'S GOT ME!" I ran over there to see only a spider on him. "It's just a spider." I told him. When I got it off of him, he said that he wanted to go home.
The next day I saw him at school giving me the "don't tell anyone" look. I guess because he was trying to make friends here too, so I told him not to worry. School was fun, the only classes I didn't like were Math, reading, writing, science, and, PE. I guess you could say I really don't like school. I mean its ok but all you do is just sit around all day, why don't they just teach us the fine arts of sitting. After school we met up at my house. It's hardly a big house really. That is, if you count a two bed and one bath even a house. We just sat on the couch and watched SpongeBob. When we got bored, we rode our bikes by that house again, but something was different. This time, the house was gone! "Where could it be?" I asked. "Uhhhh right across the street." He said sounding sarcastic. But the house was not all brown and moldy, instead it was a very nice white color and there was no hole. And he noticed it too. "Thomas!" that is the fourth time I've called him. Why isn't he answering? "Thomas!" "What." "What's the matter?" "I thought I heard something." All of a sudden it got dark and it started to rain. Thomas started to lead me into the house, I asked him why he was doing it but he didn't answer and started to drag me into the house. Then he stopped and turned his head towards me and his eyes where pitch black, I couldn't stop looking all of a sudden I was blanked by darkness. I thought my eyes where shut because I saw nothing but darkness, that was until I stated to see something slowly move then I noticed I was awake. "Hello." I heard a soft voice almost like a child. "Who's there."She didn't answer.
"What is your name?"
"James."
"What's your name?"
"Do you want to play?" Why isn't she answering me?
"No I have to go."
"But I'm not supposed to let you leave. Come meet my family."
"No I'm."
Too late she already opened the door. "Mommy, Daddy this is my new friend James." Oh my god. Their faces look like as if they have been bashed in, and flesh is barley hanging on by a thread.
"Uhhh where's the bathroom."
"Down the hall to the left."
"Thank you." That was the creepiest thing I've ever seen. Where it is oh found it. Whoa! There was no bathroom but a big whole.
"Hello." "AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" she pushed me down the whole and then half way to the bottom I saw those black eyes again only one thought came to mind when I just saw those eyes......Death. "James you're going to be late for school." I'm in my bed? How did I get here?
CHAPTER 2
Today at school I didn't see Thomas. Where could he be the last time I saw him was by the house. I couldn't stop thinking about last night. It was so bazar. After school I walked by the house and I saw Thomas walking into it. I called out but he didn't look back instead he just kept walking. Then I heard a voice, it came from inside the house I called him again and when he look at me his eyes where filled with darkness. Something about those eyes seems familiar I somehow. OH great I'm in the freaking house again might as well play along. "Little girl, little girl." No answer. "Hello little girl." "Guess again." I heard a voice but couldn't locate where it was coming from." Thomas is that you?" "So much pain, so much..." "Hello." I could see the figure start to stand, it lifted it hands. It brought them down so fast I didn't have time to react. My mind went blank, I could hear faint screams getting louder, and louder. My head was throbbing, there were other people here, "Somebody please help us. Please we can't take it anymore. Please hel..." Now there was only silence, so silent you could hear a pen drop. I heard footsteps, followed by the sound of metal. I heard the footsteps again coming closer, then they stopped. Whoever was there I could hear there breathing. In the light coming through the cracks in the wall I could tell it was a man. He held up what looked like a bat. You could hear the sound of the bat being swung, then the crackling sound of bones being broken. "AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I heard a very high pitched screech coming from behind me. Then there was complete silence. Whoever this man is he sure loves to kill. And I'm next. He was muttering something no chanting whatever he was doing I knew it wasn't good. Then I heard nothing again silence. Another swing of the bat and this time it hit me in the gut. "oomph." I couldn't scream I wanted to find this guy and hurt him real bad. "C'mon old man is that all you got." Apparently, that was not a good idea. The bat hit me in the face and I was knocked out. While I was out I had this dream, in my dream I found that little girl and when I called out to her she ran. So I chased after her, but she disappeared in the darkness and I found Thomas. He looked at me with his pitch black eyes then his body started to float it floated until I couldn't see it anymore. I heard a chain drop then when I looked up I could see his body being thrown at me he opened his mouth to where I could see his razor sharp teeth and the darkness in his soul then I passed out. I woke up in my bed. "Ow!" my arm hurt. I looked at it and there where bite marks on it. It hurt really badly. It started to ooze black goo, it smelled like rotten egg. It had turned to a mist pouring out of my arm, it had cover the whole room in darkness. There was a fist in the darkness coming towards me hit me right in the gut the fist made a blade out of nothing, and sliced my arm then I saw someone, whoever this was he did like me. He started chanting, my head started to hurt as if I was turning inside out I wanted to scream but he had my throat and was gripping it tight, I managed to grab something but I didn't hesitate I smashed his head with it till he let me go then I ran for my life. No one was outside the whole neighborhood was deserted like no one has been here for years, a man started running at me with a pipe he swung it at me but just grazed my head I ran, but everywhere I only saw the one house so I held my breath a took a leap of faith an ran to the house slammed the door shut and all was calm. I was in the heart of the house....where all death is born. I walked to where I saw the little girl but all I found was a note."Dear James Cooper
