Chapter 4. (40 years later)

There is a legend in my neighborhood about a humanoid creature that moves into the houses of old people and cut them up when they least expect it. But, im pretty sure that the story is just made up so that children wont annoy the old people in my neighborhood.

Anyway, my name is Jorge, im 14 years old, and i really want to prove to everyone that the story about the humanoid creature is just made up.

- Jorge!!! The food is getting cold! My mom yells at me from downstairs.

- I'm coming! I yelled to mom as I head for the stairs. I was almost down when I missed the last step and collapse onto the floor. When i hit the concrete floor i felt intense pain in my ankle, i had twisted it again.

- are you okay?!

- yeah, im fine, lets just eat...

- are you sure you're ok?

- yeah, what is it for dinner?

- oh, its taco today! My mom said exited

- on a Friday? Don't we usually eat taco at Tuesday's?

- yup! I know you like tacos, so i decided it wont hurt to have taco's two times a week!

- hm, thank you.

While we are eating i notice that my ankle is really starting to hurt quite a lot, so i say im full and leave the table. I walk to the bathroom and put a bandage around my ankle so that it wont hurt so much. After I'm finished with that i walk upstairs to my room and text my only 3 friends if they want to see if the legend of the humanoid murderers is true. At first they all said no, but i talked them into it.

We decided to meet up at my friend jack place, because he lives the closest to the house where the incident happened.

On my way there I was thinking... what would happen if the legend is true? Would we get cut up like the old man? Or will we prove that the legend isn't true, and everything will be ok? But... what if there was more than one... and we will see two of the creatures? Actually, I shouldn't think about that. I should think that the legend is fake, and me and my friends will prove it. If we see any strange things, it's probably our parents trying to scare us out of the abandoned house.

- HEY!!! Someone yelled at me

I turned around and saw that I had walked past our meeting place, all of my friends were there waiting for me.

- hi, i was just thinking about something, so I didn't see you.

- Oh ok, should we go to the house right away? said jack

- I think we should. Said Alex

- ok lets go then. I said as I tried to sound eager to go.

- Ill get there first!!! Said Olivia As she ran away in the direction of the house.

I ran after her as fast as i could, but she was just way too fast, and i get exhausted way too quickly since I almost never run. All my friends passed me as they wanted to get there before Olivia. I gave up on getting there first and started to jog, while jogging to the house thinking about if this is a good idea or not... when i was at the house, i saw that all my friends was just standing there, looking at something.

- whats wrong? I asked them

- Look.... there is something looking at us..... jack said, his voice was shaking of fear. When i looked up i saw two completely black eyes on a completely white face, with gray hair. staring down on us from the attic window.

- its probably just our parents messing with us. I said trying to cheer up the group.

- None of our parents have gray hair.... Olivia said, she actually sounded really calm.

- Don't worry, it's probably just a wig. I said

- Let's just block the door to the attic... Olivia can do that, while we make sure this person stays in the attic. Alex said

- Why me!? Olivia almost screamed.

- Because you seem to be very calm. Jack said

- Sure... but tell me if that thing moves, OK? Olivia said, she seemed to be way more scared now.

- Ok! Alex yelled

When Olivia walked into the house, the person in the attic wasn't there anymore. But we were all too scared to tell her, we just watched her walk up to the attic door. We were all just watching her... not doing anything, not making a sound... we just watched, while the person was right behind her. Mimicking all her movements so that she wouldn't hear it walk behind her.

When she was by the attic door, the person... this completely white person with no clothes on other that a pair of old pants, put his hand in in his pocket. And pulled out a big kitchen knife... while we... well... we were all to scared to say anything to her, to Olivia. We watched as this person held its knife with both hands, and lifted it. Lifted it over Olivias head.

-NO! Alex almost whispered to Olivia. But it was too late.

Before Olivia could turn around, we all witnessed this person putting its knife deep into Olivias head. There was blood everywhere, and this person then started to cut her head off. Slowly and careful, as if he was making art. While all of us others just stood there, too scared to do a thing. Until this person finally had cut her head clean off. And looked at us, looked at us with bottomless black eyes.

- Oh HElLo? This person, no, this thing said with a horrible scraping voice.

- H-h-hi? Alex said, trembling with fear

- i WsNT EXpeCtING viSiToRS.... SorRY fOR tHE MesS. It said with the same horrible, deep scraping voice.

- S-sorry? I managed to force myself to say.

- doNt tALK!! This thing said, now screaming with a high pitch scraping voice.

- w-why shouldn't h-he talk? Alex said, thinking it was only talking to me.

- HEHEHEEE!!! I WaRNeD YOU HAHA!!! It said with a dark murderous voice

Before alex got to do anything, he had the knife that was used to brutally murder Olivia deep in his chest. The person, no that creature had thrown the knife straight into his chest.

Alex just stood there for some seconds, but then he fell. And blood was flowing out of his wound and mouth...

now it was only me and my last friend left, jack. When i looked around for jack, i saw him running in the direction of his home. When i saw him i immediately started to run after him. But i was too late, that creature had already killed two of my friends. And there was nothing i could do about it.
