Fear is just a feeling and you can get over it.




The blue and red lights of the police cars flashed. People passed by the scene trying to get a look at what was going on. Nobody, not even the police, had a clue what happened.

Four teens stood in the middle of the commotion as another teen was loaded up on a stretcher and put in an ambulance. Its sirens turned on as it drove down the road.

Another police car drove up just as the ambulance left.

Sarah McWilliams parked her car and shut the engine off. Just as she climbed out of her car, another officer walked up to her.

What's the story Wally?” she asked. “Not sure. It was called in about half an hour ago. A couple of teenagers said they were attacked.” the male officer said. “Attacked? Attacked by what?” Sarah asked. Wally shrugged. “Won't say.”

Sarah saw the four teens standing by another cop car.

Is that them?” she asked. “No, the fifth one was taken to the Emergency Room just as you got here.” replied Wally.

I want to talk to them.” Sarah said.

The two officers walked up to the four teens who turned their attention to them.

Kids, this is Officer McWilliams. She's the town sheriff.” Wally said.

The four said nothing.

I'll take you four down to the station where we can talk. Do your parents know where you are?” Sarah told them.

Uh, none of them have a phone.” Wally said. “Perfect.” Sarah mumbled. “Once we get to the station I want you to find their parents and get a hold of them so they know where their kids are.”

Wally nodded and walked off talking into his radio.

Alright, you kids ready to come with me?” Sarah asked turning her attention back to the teens.

They followed her back to her car where three of them sat in the back and the other sat up in the front.

Before Sarah got in herself, she looked over at the island in the distance where the kids had come from.

Eerie mist settled around it but she could just barely see a dark and gloomy forest.

She finally turned her back and climbed into her car.



Before we get started, do you want anything to eat or drink?” Sarah asked.

I'll take a coffee.” a goth girl said. Her friends looked at her.

What? She offered.” the goth said.

Anything else?” Sarah asked.

The other three asked for a glass of water.

After their drinks came, Sarah pulled out a pen and a file of paper.

Alright,” she said. “Let's start with your names. First and last.”

The goth started.

Gwen David.”

Mike Rodriguez.”

Zoey Hansen.”

Noah Dempsy.”

And the boy in the ambulance?” Sarah asked.

Cody Anderson.” Zoey told her.

Sarah wrote down all their names. “Are you all the same age?” she asked.

Yeah we're all eighteen.” Noah answered.

Sarah banged on the door behind her and Officer Wally poked his head in. She handed him their names and he closed the door.

Okay, now do you want to tell me what happened?” she asked.

Nobody said anything.

I was told you all experienced something horrifying. The silent treatment and Cody in the ambulance proves that. But I need to hear what happened so we can help you.” Sarah told them. “Start at the beginning.”

At first nobody talked but then Zoey did.

Have you ever...heard of Total Drama?” she asked. “Yes, it's the reality show.” Sarah said. “Just finished Total Drama Horror Fest right?”

Zoey nodded. “All of us, Cody, too, were all on the same team. Chris McClain, the host, got the idea for season 7 to have challenges themed on horror. Like video games, movies, stories, things like that.”

Okay.” Sarah said.

One of our challenges was to find a key to a chest Chris had made. It had a prize we could use in the next event. Ours was hidden in the middle of the forest on the island.” Mike said.

How did you know it was yours?” Sarah asked. “It was our color. Anyways, once we found it we then noticed the trees. They had notes of some kind.” Mike continued.

What did they say?” Sarah asked.

Noah pulled out several lined papers and set them on the table.

Sarah looked them over.


Don't look or it takes you.”



Help me.”



Can't run.”



Always watches. No eyes.” with a drawing that had some kind of faceless person.



Leave me alone.”



No no no no no no no no no no no no.” with the creepy faceless man in the middle.



A drawing of a forest with the same faceless man in the center.



The last picture was a drawing of a tree with the same faceless man and it said “Follow.”



What the heck is this?” Sarah asked. “They're the notes that we saw on the trees. They were all over the place.” Noah said.

We didn't get what they were at first but Chris told us later that the island we were doing Total Drama on had its own legend. The Faceless Man of Black Forest.” Gwen replied. “Or some people call him Slenderman.” Mike said. “I think those papers are warnings.”

Like the game?” Sarah asked.

Yes, but a thousand times worse.” Zoey said.

So you're saying this...Slenderman, is real?” Sarah asked not believing what they said.

All four nodded.

Continue.” she said.

Well Total Drama Horror Fest ended. Noah won the million bucks and the series was done. But we five had become such good friends during the season so we decided to stay in touch.” Gwen said.

That's when it happened.” Mike suddenly burst out.

What happened?”

We all started to see him everywhere we went.” Gwen replied.

Who?”

Slenderman.”

Oh. Right.”

We saw him in our dreams and standing outside our houses peering in. Cody saw Slenderman's reflection behind him in the bathroom mirror once.” Mike said. “So...what did you do?” Sarah asked.

Well, we all contacted each other. Seeing that we all were having the same problem, we decided to meet up.” Zoey told her. “We all lived in different towns so it took a couple of hours to get together but once we all arrived, we all decided that we would go back to the island to find answers.” Noah said.

What did you find?” Sarah asked.

Well this is what happened,” Gwen said.



The beach of Black Forest

8:59 pm Last night



I can't believe I’m back on this island. I vowed I wouldn't have anything to do with places that Total Drama filmed in.” Noah mumbled.

Look, we just need to find out what's going on.” Cody said.

Cody, and Noah, along with three other former Total Drama contestants, Mike, Zoey, and Gwen, climbed out of the rowboat that they used to get to the shore.

They looked up at the dark woods looming in front of them.

Come on,” Mike said, “We've come this far.”

The five of them slowly stepped off the beach and onto the grass covered ground. The woods were cold and filled with an eerie mist. They all pulled out their flashlights.

Cody took the lead followed by Gwen, then Mike and Zoey, and finally, Noah.

Slowly and quietly, they moved through the woods.

I see something up ahead.” Cody whispered. “Don't say that!” Noah whispered back angrily.

I really do! Look!” Cody said.

The other four peered around Cody and saw a paper stuck to a tree.

What does it say?” Zoey asked. Mike grabbed it and shone it under his light.

Don't look or it takes you.” he read.

That's reassuring.” Noah mumbled.

What the heck does that mean?” Gwen asked.

Its like before. Remember our challenge? We found several papers like this.” Mike told her. “Yeah but those were put there by Chris. And every time we found one, Chef would show up as The Man with no Face and give us a scare.” Zoey said.

Everybody suddenly got quiet and looked around nervously.

Oh no!” Gwen gasped. “What?” Mike asked. “Do you see him?” Cody asked. “Where's Noah?” Gwen answered all their questions with a question of her own.

They all looked around. Noah really had vanished.

Oh my gosh.” Zoey gasped gripping Mike's hand.

Where is he?”



Where did Noah go to?” Sarah asked. Gwen, Zoey, and Mike gave Noah death glares. He tried to stifle his laughter but wasn't doing very well.

I still remember the looks on your faces!” he said. “Especially yours!” he pointed at Mike who was glaring daggers.

What did he do?” Sarah asked.



Out from the dark came a figure running and screaming.

All the teens screamed. Mike jumped behind a bush while Gwen and Zoey grasped each other and Cody straightened up with fear.

The figure started to laugh. Gwen shone her light on it only to find Noah.

I can't believe you fell for that!” he chuckled.

It wasn't funny Noah!” Gwen snapped. Zoey smacked his shoulder hard.

Mike poked his head out and came to stand by Cody.

What is wrong with you? You nearly gave all of us a heart attack!” Cody said. “I know and it was AWESOME!” Noah said still laughing.

They continued to snap out at Noah only to stop when thunder rumbled in the distance.

Looks like a storm's coming in.” Mike said. “Great. Just what we needed.” Gwen mumbled.

Guys come on. We need to keep going.” Zoey said walking deeper into the forest.



Did you find what you were looking for?” Sarah asked. “We did, but not in the way we thought.” Noah replied.

How so?” Sarah asked.

Well, we kept going deeper and deeper into the forest. Noah kept a look out for any other papers like those.” Gwen said pointing to the ones Sarah held.

Minutes turned to hours. By the time we found the clearing in the middle of the woods it was 11:50 and there wasn't anything there.” Mike said. “As time went on we still didn't see anything. All of us started to think that Chris and Chef had just been playing some kind of sick joke that had gone too far. Or just our imagination getting the best of us.”

We were wrong. We were dead wrong.” Zoey said.



We should get back to town. Its midnight. My parents will be getting worried.” Cody said. “Yeah mine too.” Mike said.

This was a big fat waste of time.” Noah mumbled.

The five turned and headed back the way they'd come.

Rain started to pour after a flash of lightining.

Suddenly Noah stopped walking.

Did you hear that?” he gasped. “Noah, don't even.” Gwen said. “No I'm serious!” he exclaimed. “So am I.” Gwen snapped.

No no, I hear it too.” Mike said stopping. “Not you too, Mike.” Zoey said.

Shh, listen.” Noah said.

At first there was no sound then they heard it.

Footsteps. And they were getting closer.

What is it?” Zoey whispered. “Don't you mean who?” Noah answered. “Shut up both of you!” Gwen snapped.

Silence.

Whatever it was, it's gone now.” Mike said.

Oh my gosh!” Cody suddenly gasped. “Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh.”

What?” the others asked.

Something moved up there.” he replied. “Where?” Zoey asked. “Up there between those two trees.” Cody answered.

The five all shone their flashlights up ahead where Cody had pointed.

They all held their breath when a twig snapped.

Oh my god. Oh my god.” Gwen whispered, her voice shaking.

From behind a tree, a tall dark figure peered out then quickly vanished behind the trunk again.

Did you see that?” Mike gasped. “It was him! The Man with no Face!”

Cody, let's get out of here.” Noah said, slowly backing up.

Suddenly to their horror, the figure appeared again and this time, it slowly walked towards them.

Run! Back this way!” Cody shouted.

The five teens ran as fast as their legs would carry them. The lights from their flashlights flashed all around as they sped away from the approaching figure.

Have we lost it?” Mike called. Cody looked over his shoulder just as the figure appeared through the trees still in pursuit.

It's still coming!” he exclaimed.

Through the dark forest they ran. Their lights showing the way and their fear making them run.

Just when they thought they were safe, Noah tripped. And before he could get up, something wrapped around his ankle and pulled him back. Back towards the figure.

Help! Somebody help! It's got me!” Noah screamed. His friends stopped running at the sound of his cries and saw his situation.

Keep running! I'll get him.” Cody said. Mike, Gwen, and Zoey nodded and ran off.

Cody ran back and grabbed Noah's hand.

I got ya buddy.” he said. “Get me away from this thing!” Noah screamed, tears of fear filling his eyes.

The figure advanced.

It was close enough now that Cody could see that it really didn't have a face at all.

Holy shit.” he said under his breath. He pulled one more really hard tug and Noah came free. Cody helped his friend stand and the two boys ran after their friends.

They found them waiting by a sign.

What are you doing?” Cody asked. “Waiting for you. We should head back for the campsite. The cabin we stayed in for Total Drama is there. Maybe we can find a phone or just hide.” Gwen said.

Footsteps and snapping told them The Man with no Face was still on their trail.

Okay we'll head there but we need to shut off our flashlights.” Zoey said.

What?” Mike asked.

Are you crazy? No!” Gwen snapped.

The footsteps got closer.

Shut them off! That way he won't be able to see us.” Zoey answered.

Closer.

Neither will we!” Noah snapped. “Just shut them off! The cabin is just ahead. We should get there in no time.” Zoey said harshly.

They all finally shut their lights off, grabbed hands and ran.

Cody looked over his shoulder just as the faceless man appeared where they had been moments before. It looked around and finally headed in their direction.

He's still coming!” Cody told them. “How?” Noah asked.

Doesn't matter. Look the cabin!” Gwen said.

A few feet ahead was the two story cabin. They all let out relieved sighs as they climbed the stairs and closed the door behind them.

Lock everything, quickly and quietly.” Mike whispered.

They locked the door, all the windows then closed the drapes and hid behind the furniture.

They held their breath and waited. And waited. Thunder rumbled making Gwen jump. Cody who was beside her held her hand tightly.

Then came the footsteps. Up the front stairs they came. Step. Step. Step. Closer and closer.

Mike and Zoey held each other tightly as they lay on the ground in front of the couch. Noah held his breath as he hid in the seat of the recliner. Gwen who now had tears streaming heavily down her face hid with Cody on top of the couch cushions. She squeezed Cody's hand as the door started to rattle.

This isn't real.” she whispered. “This isn't real. This isn't real.”

Hey hey hey. It's okay. Look at me.” Cody said quietly. Gwen shook her head and closed her eyes.

Gwen, look at me.” Cody whispered putting both of his hands on her tear streaked face.

We're going to be okay. We're going to get off this island. I promise.” he said. Gwen looked into his eyes and nodded slowly.

Okay.” she said.

I mean it.” he said, smiling. Gwen smiled back but then her gaze moved to something behind Cody.

Cody, that window isn't locked.” she whispered. Cody looked over his shoulder and sure enough, the window closest to the door wasn't locked. Cody looked at her.

I'm going to lock it.” he whispered. “Are you crazy?” she replied. “He's still out there!”

The door stopped rattling. He probably left.” Cody said. He then slowly and quietly slid off the couch and made his way to the window.

Cody come back!” Gwen said.

Dude, what are you doing?” Noah asked.

Come back!” Zoey said.

Cody ignored them and slowly came up to the window. He reached out and clicked shut the lock.

Just as he turned around to come back, there was a flash of lightning and Zoey screamed.

The window shattered.

All five screamed as black tentacle like things came from The Man with no Face's back and wrapped around Cody. They pulled him out of the cabin.

His screams continued and faded into the night. And in another flash of lightning, Cody and The Man with no Face were gone.



Silence followed Gwen's words. Sarah looked at each of their faces. They were all pale with fear. Noah was trembling. Gwen held her arms and hid behind her hair. Zoey had curled up in her chair. Mike had hunched his shoulders and was biting his thumbnail.”

What happened next?” Wally asked.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Sorry, I popped in about fifteen minutes ago just to say I phoned all of your parents and they're on their way. Then I heard your story and got side tracked.” he said.

Silence again.

Sarah rolled her eyes and turned back to the scared teens.

So what did happen next?” she asked.

I can't tell this anymore. Noah you tell it.” Gwen said.

Noah cleared his throat.



Cody!” Gwen screamed. She jumped up from her hiding spot and ran out the door.

Gwen wait!” Zoey's voice called after her. Gwen ignored her friend and ran down the steps and into the rain.

In the distance, she could still hear Cody screaming. It was then quiet except for the sound of the rain.

Guys, come on! This way!” Gwen said pointing in the direction Cody's screams had come from.

There is no way I'm going in there.” Noah said. “Noah, Cody needs help.” Gwen said.

He's probably already-” Noah started. “Don't even.” Gwen snapped. “As I recall, Cody went back for you when The Man with No Face was dragging you away.”

Noah looked away.

Now let's go.” Gwen said.

They all cautiously stepped into the forest. They couldn't see anything so Mike and Noah turned on their flashlights.

Thunder boomed shaking the trees and making the frightened teens jump.

Cody?” Gwen called quielty.

Slenderman?” Mike called also. Zoey whacked his shoulder.

Keep quiet!” she snapped.

Bats flew over their heads. They all screamed.

Gwen finally shushed them.

It was just a bunch of bats.” Noah breathed. “Yeah that's all it was.” Mike said.

What was that?” Zoey asked. “What? What was what?” Gwen asked.

Listen.” Zoey said.

Silence.

I don't-” Noah started to say but broke off when a scream split through the air.

Cody! This way!” Gwen said taking the lead again as they ran through the trees.

Wet leaves and branches hit them as they followed the sound of Cody's screams.

Cody!” Gwen called.

Nothing answered. His screams went silent once more.

They pushed passed two thick trunks and came out onto the edge of a steep cliff. Lightning flashed illuminating Slenderman just ahead of them.

The teens screamed.

Startled, the faceless man disappeared from view and then peered out from behind the trees.

Zoey, Noah, keep an eye on him.” Gwen said. The two nodded and pointed the light in his direction.

Cody?” Mike and Gwen called.

They could barely hear him at first but after a crash of thunder, Mike and Gwen heard Cody's voice calling for help.

Where is he?” Mike asked looking around.

I'm down here!” came Cody's voice over the edge.

Gwen and Mike peered over and saw Cody at least thirty feet down.

Cody, are you okay?” Mike asked.

No, I- I can't move my arm or leg. I think they're broken! And I- I think I have a cut or something somewhere. There's a lot of blood.” Cody's weak voice called back up.

Hang on, we'll pull you up!” Gwen told him.

Hurry! It hurts and Slenderman is still out there!” Cody said back.

How close is he?” Gwen asked Noah. “Uh, he's disappeared. He could be anywhere!” Noah answered.

Keep watching for him.” Gwen said.

How do we get Cody up here?” Mike asked. “I don't know yet.” Gwen said.

Guys, he's back!” Noah called.

Gwen and Mike looked. Sure enough Slenderman was peering behind the trees again.

You better think of something fast.” Noah said. “He's vanished again.”

Look! Those vines over there! We can tie them together and make a harness to pull Cody up.” Mike said pointing to the roots of the trees.

Great. Let's hurry.” Gwen said.

She and Mike quickly grabbed a bunch of thick roots and tied them into a harness.

Noah and Zoey both cried out as Slenderman appeared again. They threw rocks and twigs at him hoping to keep him back.

He's getting closer!” Zoey called.

Almost got him!” Gwen called as Mike lowered her down to the ledge where Cody was stuck.

She finally reached it and helped him stand.

Hang on, we'll get you up.” she said.

When they both were in the harness safely, she tugged on the vine to signal she was ready to be pulled back up.

Cody gritted his teeth to stop him from screaming with pain but he still grunted.

When Gwen and Cody reached the top, Mike helped pull both of them onto the edge.

Guys, we gotta go now.” Noah said running over with Zoey.

Noah, help me carry him.” Gwen said. Noah nodded and put Cody's other arm around his neck. Cody yelped.

I'd grit your teeth. This is gonna hurt.” Gwen said.

He's coming!” Zoey cried.

Run for the beach!” Gwen shouted.

They all took off running as fast as their tired legs would carry them.

Thunder rumbled. Lightning flashed illuminating the entire forest.

A strange yet creepy noise sounded behind them. Mike looked back over his shoulder.

Slenderman was in pursuit. Black tentacles grew from his back. He moved through the brush as if he was floating.

The rain poured heavily then it was earlier.

Wet branches and leaves smacked their arms and faces. Rain fell into their eyes blinding them. The wind picked up making an eerie moaning noise.

Gasping for air, the teens left the thick brush of the forest and ran out onto the beach.

The waves crashed up onto the shore.

There is no possible way we're gonna get back to the other side. Our boat is gone.” Zoey said.

What now?” Noah asked.

The strange noise got closer. Slenderman came through the trees.

Guys, he's right there!” Zoey cried out.

Over there, look!” Gwen called out pointing over at the shore where a large piece of wood lay on the beach.

Come on, hurry!” she said carrying Cody over with Noah.

Cody grunted with pain as his two friends laid him down on the giant piece of wood.

We'll have to push him to the other side.” Gwen said. “Are you crazy? We'll drown if we go out on the water.” Zoey said.

The water's calm enough to make it but we have to go now!” Mike said.

I can't do this.” Noah said.

Either come with us or stay here with Slenderman.” Gwen said.

Noah gulped.

Thunder rumbled.

The four teens pushed Cody out onto the water and swam for the other side.

The Man with no Face stood on the beach. He didn't follow. He didn't move. Just watched.



And then?” Wally asked. His question made Sarah jump and open her eyes.

We made it to shore and the first thing we did was call the cops and an ambulance for Cody.” Noah said.

What about Slenderman?” Wally asked. “We haven't seen him since least night.” Zoey said. “He's vanished.”

Wally looked at Sarah and cleared his throat. She looked at him and sighed. She stood up and ran a hand through her hair.

Well, that certainly was a nice story, but I think some parts were unbelievable.” she said.

Like what?” Mike asked.

The whole thing. Sorry kids but I don't believe in ghost stories.” Sarah told them.

What?” Gwen gasped.

You're not serious!” Mike exclaimed.

We didn't make this up.” Noah said.

Sarah shrugged.

What about Cody? That's proof right there!” Zoey said. “No, its proof that you kids were out late last night and your friend got hurt.” Sarah replied. “The usual story with teens these days.”

Gwen stood up and slammed her hands down on the table. “We're not on drugs and we didn't make this up.”

Sarah turned and got in her face.

Watch your tone kid.” she said. Gwen glared at her.

Sarah turned away and opened the door. Just before she left, she faced them again.

By the way, your parents are here. They're waiting just outside.” she said then she left.

Wally looked at the four teens.

I swear, we're not lying.” Zoey said.

I know, and I believe you.” Wally said then he left the room also.


Sarah stood on the steps of the police station talking to one of the kid's parents. By the time he came up to her, the parents went inside.

So what do you want me to do?” Wally asked. Sarah gave him a weird look. “What do you mean?” she asked.

Do you want me to check out the island?”

Why would you?”

Slenderman is still out there.”

Sarah gave him another weird look.

Oh my god, you believe them don't you?” she said. “I do, yes. They aren't the first kids to report this 'faceless man.” Wally said. “We need to do something.”

Sarah shook her head and mumbled something under her breath.

Wally, they said themselves that it was a prank.” she told him. “No, they said they thought it was a prank but they were wrong.” he corrected.

I can't believe you're buying this.” Sarah chuckled.

Something happened on that island. Something scared those kids. Something put that kid in the hospital. And like I said, this isn't the first case. My niece went missing from there two years ago.” Wally said.

Sarah rolled her eyes. “Wow.” she said.

Just then, Mike, Gwen, Zoey, and Noah walked out of the station.

Gwen stopped by Sarah. She looked at her, anger and fear in her eyes.

You say you don't believe in ghost stories. But my friends and I lived through one. And that thing is still out there.” she said, then her parents pulled her away. Sarah watched her leave then turned away from Wally and headed for her car.

You want something to do? Bring in that Chris McClain guy and Chef Hatchet. Ask them about this Slenderman.” she said. Then she got into her car and she left.

Wally shook his head in disgust. He turned and walked back to the station doors. Just before he opened them, he saw something in the reflection of the glass. Wally turned around and looked into the woods on the other side of the road.

Between two trees further in, stood a man.

Wally blinked. He was still there.

The Man with no Face.” he whispered.

Hey Wally, what you lookin at?” Officer Lewis asked scaring Wally.

Wha-? Oh nothing. Nothing.” Wally answered. Lewis shrugged then walked inside.

Wally looked at the woods again but now there was nothing there. He finally turned away and went inside.



Sarah mumbled to herself as she pulled into her driveway.

Yeah right. A man with no face. Pfft. Its a whole bunch of baloney.” she said climbing out of her car.

She walked around to her front door and unlocked it. She walked inside and wet her keys down on the counter. Letting out a frustrated sigh she walked into the bathroom and locked the door.

She turned on the water in the shower and undressed.

After her shower, she put on her pajamas. Sarah then went into the kitchen and made some popcorn. She poured herself a glass of milk and sat down in front of the TV.

There was nothing good on this late at night. Nothing, except maybe the news.

Why not?” Sarah sighed and kept it on the news.

...of teens who were attacked by a faceless man who....” the news reporter was cut off because Sarah changed the channel. She didn't want to hear anything else of that stupid man or those kids. They had made the whole thing up.

Sarah flipped through the channels until she found a good movie.

It Came From the Woods.”

Klunk.

A noise came from her garage. Sarah ignored it. Probably just the cat chasing another mouse.

Klunk. Klunk.

It came again.

Klunk. Klunk. Klunk.

Louder and louder.

Letting out a frustrated sigh, Sarah got up and went to the back door which led to the garage.

Sarah turned on the lights and saw nothing. The only thing was that the door leading to the outside was open. She shut it and went back inside, turning off the light as she went.

She sat back down on the couch and turned up the volume.

Suddenly there came a loud crash from down the hallway. Sarah jumped and whirled around.

Creeeaaak.

Somewhere down the hallway, a door opened. Sarah stood up, grabbed her gun, and tiptoed down the hall.

Her bedroom door was open as was the window. As she turned away and walked back down the hallway, she couldn't help but feel like she was being watched.

She laughed at herself after she looked over her shoulder and had seen nothing.

Wait a second. She knew what was going on. It was those kids who made up the story. They were trying to scare her into believing Slenderman was real.

All right kids, I caught you.” she called out.

No answer. Duh, of course they wouldn't answer now that she had caught them.

Putting her gun down, Sarah wandered through the house searching in every hiding place she could think of.

Nothing. She found nothing.

Now she was starting to worry.

Suddenly a cold rush of brushed along her back. Gasping, she spun around.

Nothing.

She got quiet hoping she would hear something. She didn't and that's what scared her.

Then her power went out.

Now feeling terrified, Sarah ran for the door only to find it locked.

She ran and tried every door and window. All locked. How was this possible? How could she be locked inside her own home?

Feeling more scared and terrified then ever, she went to try the front door again. Still locked.

Her house suddenly got so cold she could see her breath.

Sarah was frightened. Oh man, was she frightened.

Then she heard the footsteps.

Slow and quiet at first.

Down the hall they came.

Sarah didn't dare turn around.

Closer and closer they came.

Sarah's heart raced.

Closer. Closer.

Then they stopped.

Sarah's breath shuddered. Her breath came out in puffs.

Slowly she turned around to face whatever had come up behind her. She almost screamed when she saw it was nothing.

Sarah tried to catch her breath. “It must have been my imagination.” she gasped.

She turned and suddenly came face to face with a faceless man. She backed up against the door and tried to scream. She could only watch as a sunken skeletal face appeared where no face had been moments before.

Sarah screamed louder then she had ever before.

Then everything went black.


Fog covered the entire valley as Gwen, Noah, Zoey, and Mike walked into the hospital. Cody was awake now so they were going to see him.

They entered his room just as his parents left.

Hey guys.” Cody's weak voice gasped.

The four teens sat around his bed.

Hey Cody, how are you feeling?” Gwen asked. “I feel like horse shit.” he said.

What's the news on your injuries?” Mike asked.

A broken wrist, broken leg, stitches under my eye, stitches in my cheek and mouth.” Cody told him.

Lucky you.” Noah said.

What about you guys, are you okay?” Cody asked.

None of us slept last night if that's what you mean.” Zoey said.

Join the club. (ow.)” Cody grunted.

We're just glad you're okay.” Gwen said. “What did you tell your parents?”

The truth but they didn't believe me.” Cody told her.

Same with the police.” Mike said.

Figures.” Cody mumbled.

Where did your parents go?” Zoey asked. “They went to get some food for themselves. They should be back any minute.” Cody answered.

We were gonna run to get some ice cream down at Beau’s Parlor. You want us to get you the root beer shake you always get?” Noah asked.

Sure, if you want to.” Cody shrugged. “Thanks.”

Okay, we'll be right back.” Gwen said. “We wanted to quickly see if you wanted anything first.”

Okay.” Cody said.

See ya in a sec.” Gwen said smiling and kissing him on the cheek.

Then they left.



I'm glad he's okay.” Zoey said as they walked down the street.

I know. That was quite the scare.” Mike replied.

Be thankful it's over.” Noah said.

I don't think it is or ever will be. I'll be having nightmares forever.” Gwen said.

The others nodded in agreement.

They got their ice cream and headed back for the hospital.

By that time, the sun was just beginning to rise above the mountains. It was still foggy but it was starting to lift.

Suddenly the four stopped in their tracks. In front of them, they saw a figure the fog.

The figure was dragging something that looked like another person.

The figure stopped and turned towards them. The four teens held in their screams when they saw it had no face.

The figure turned away and soon vanished into the fog and was gone.

Silence.
