It was a dark and stormy night, fog was covering the vision of a boy riding his bike down the street. All he could see was the road in front of him and the streetlamps above him. It was terrifying for this boy. He took shelter under a bridge and waited for the heavy rain to end.
He looked at his phone while waiting, suddenly he felt the presence of someone... Or something. Whatever it was, it was looking straight at him. His heart was racing at this point. The boy was stranded under a bridge in the heavy storm. He had nowhere to go. It was at this moment, he heard footsteps. Footsteps heading towards him. He panicked, the boy then jumped onto his bike and sped off.
He raced back to his house. The boy was out of breath but he couldn't stop. He knew that whatever that thing was.. It won't stop chasing him until it gets its hands on his flesh. The footsteps were getting closer to him, the creature was growling. The boy described those sounds as jarring. It was piercing through the boy's ears. He knew that the creature was getting closer and closer to him. His house was still miles away. He had to think of somewhere else to go.
"Alvin!" a girl shouted. The boy looked into the direction where the voice came from. It was his friend, Mimi. His girlfriend to be exact. Alvin rushed over to her. "What are you doing here!?" he asked. Mimi replied with: "I was looking for y-" as Mimi finishes her sentence, Alvin grabbed her and pulled her up onto his bike. "We gotta go!" he shouted.
"Why are we speeding off?" asked Mimi. Alvin explained that something was chasing him for the past thirty or so minutes. Mimi was shocked. "Did you see what it looked like?" she asked. Alvin could not answer clearly. He said: "I have no idea... It looked big. It had glowing eyes, they looked straight at me with a killing intent.." he looked back and swallowed his saliva. "It's coming.."
Alvin glanced around for shelters to hide in. Mimi pointed out to a mansion nearby. "This will have to do.. For now." said Alvin as he sighed. He turned into the pathway of the mansion and they walked in.. Without knowing what could be inside. Mimi knocked on the door. No replies. "Nobody is in there... I think." said Mimi. The two pushed open the door and entered the mansion. Surprisingly, the lights turned on when they walked in. Alvin asked: "Did we trigger the lights..?" he looked all around the mansion. The mansion was ambient, they felt calm inside the building. "This mansion is glorious, probably from the Victorian Era..." Alvin thought to himself.
Alvin sat down on the couch. Tired from the events that happened in the past hour. Mimi took a nap on his shoulders while he studied the paintings that were hung everywhere throughout the mansion walls. He smiled and slowly doze off. But at that moment, the front door swung open. Startled, Alvin gently put Mimi down while he walked towards the door. He reached for his back pocket and pulled out his switchblade.
Alvin stood in front of the door. His vision locked onto whatever that opened the door. All he saw was a man in dressed in black, his hands covered in what seemed like blood. The man had no facial features, his face was completely blank. He said in a deep voice: "Hello. What brings you here.." Alvin stood back. He thought: "This is physically impossible... He has no face. H-How is he talking..?" the man looked at him. Alvin felt the same bloodthirsty aura that he felt when the creature chased him.
"You came into my house without my permission.. That's called trespassing." the man said. Alvin apologized and woke Mimi up. He said that they'll be taking their leave now. The man then opened the door and the two of them left. The man growled and said: "They saw... They saw me. Those two cannot live with the knowledge of what I look like."
He took off his gloves and black liquid started dripping out from his fingers. He called this substance "FEAR". He looked up at the trees behind his mansion. There was an owl there. He called out to the owl, it landed onto his arm. The man was a merciless killer. He stabbed the owl and injected his "FEAR" into it. The owl deformed and changed its appearance. The owl then sped off and chased after the two.
