Knock knock.

" Ok miss Sandra, I'll see you at midnight. If I need anything I'll call the number on the paper you gave me" I called out to the women who hired me as a babysitter. I looked at the cute boy and said " Alright kiddo, one more hour and you're off to bed" I said smiling as I heard her mother leave the garage. 

We played some games, grabbed some lunch and it was 10.30 pm already. " Time does move fast, off to bed now kiddo". " Okay sister Sarah". I guided him up to his room, tucked him in and wished him good night. I walked down stairs, switched on the TV, I watched some shows and accidentally dozed off. When I woke up, the TV was off. Maybe miss Sandra was back, no it shouldn't be. There's still 30 minutes till midnight. 

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

I stood there frozen in fear. What the hell was that? It came from the front door. I slowly got up and said " Kiddo if that's you it's not funny".

LET ME IN!

BLOOD! BLOOD!!!

I was so terrified, I just stood there doesn't know what to do. But in less than a minute, it became slow tapping on the door, then stopped. I slowly approached the front door. There was blood leaking in. No, the blood was coming towards me.

Let me in...

I quickly ran upstairs and locked myself in the bathroom. I quickly grabbed my phone out and try to dial the police. But due to my clumsiness, I dropped my phone and broke it. I tried to operate it but it was completely dead. I was beyond terrified, I opened the door slowly and peeked outside, directly down stairs. The blood was still there. I walked downstairs cautiously. Then there was a women screaming. I just fell back onto the stairs. Then kiddo came behind me and said

" What's going on?"

WHYYYYYY!!!!!, the women screamed.

" That's my mom!". He ran downstairs and was about to open the door. Before I could stop him, he opened it.

There on the floor lying was a man bled to death, it was mister Alex, the father. Beside him was a women, miss Sandra. At this point, I realized what I've done. 

There was a crazed man in the neighborhood. He was chasing after mister Alex. I was told that her husband will arrive before she comes back. So it must have been a unlucky night for him. He crazed guy was after him, so he knocked nervously, panicked me. When he got stabbed and was screaming let me in, blood, blood, I was terrified. The worst part was...

I could have saved him, but I let him get killed and bled to death.

Dusk till Dawn

It's almost dusk. I looked back at my car, which had died. I wasn't looking at the car exactly, I was checking on my son, I had rolled down the window and asked him to stay put. I hope so. I kept walking through the woods. It felt like forever, until I came across this cabin. It looked as if no one lived there for years. I went up onto the door. As I was about to knock on it, it opened ajar by itself. I do not believe in paranormal stuff so I just walked in and said " Hello? Is anybody here?". It was a simple cabin. One room, one bathroom and the living room I suppose. I walked in examining the living room with the remaining lights from the setting sun. The door closed behind me.

" Damn drafts." I whispered under my breath.

 I saw a light switch by the door, which have slammed on me earlier. I went on and interact with it. Surprisingly it still works, so there must be a generator somewhere.

Hello there.

I spun around immediately. " I do not mean to intrude your home, I just needed a place to stay for my son and myself." I waited for a minute. There was no answer. It was pin drop silence. I walked a few steps, cautiously. Then I saw this painting of this old lady. She was standing, smiling with her eyes closed. Hands crossed. On one of her hands, she had a emerald ring. Then something I realised something wrong, very wrong.

I had opened the lights earlier, so now I can see around the room better. But in the picture, something was wrong. Her ring was shining back at my eyes. Shining from the lights. Then her eyes opened.

I was shocked. It wasn't a picture at all. There wasn't any picture. It was a window. Her jaw dropped. But the side of her mouth started ripping blood was spilling onto the window. I was petrified. But I turned around and made the run for it. I ran for the door. It was locked. I tried pulling and tugging with all my might, nothing worked. I looked back, she's gone. I heard the door click and it opened. I pushed the door aside and ran, and there she was holding me, her eyes and mine met, just inches apart. She leaned closer and reached for my throat. I felt her inhumane fingernails dig deep into my shoulders. Everything was blur. My son... What's gonna happen to him?

" Dad?"

It was dawn, my father is no where to be found. Then in the distance, I can see someone. Was it my father? There was a lady, running towards my car. She screamed, "I'M SAVED, I'M SAVED". Repeatedly. Then suddenly she stopped. She looked at me and came towards my car side and said " Thank you so much, your father freed me". I looked back at the cabin, there was my father. I got down from the car, and ran to my father. Before I reached, I felt something was off. He was just there standing, smiling with his eyes closed, hands crossed and had a emerald ring on his finger.

Necklace

Jamie sat up on her bed upon hearing a soft breathing sound, holding her necklace which was given by her mom. It has always helped her to calm down. He turned on her table lamp, no one was there. She lives alone in the house, nobody should be there, not even pets or animals. After couple of minutes, she heard it again.She started to get paranoid. She kicked off her blankets, got to a kneeling position on her bed. She slowly peered down under her bed.

It was real dark. But nothing was there. Then she heard it again, the soft breathing noises. She shot up straight and looked across her bed, the closet. She got down and wore her slippers. She slowly approached the closet. She reached for the closet door handle, hands shaking. She grabbed onto it, while the other holding onto her necklace. She swung the door open. Nothing was there.

Now, she heard the noises behind her.

She spun around with all her might. Nothing was there as well. She stood there, waited for a couple of minutes. She then decides to brush it off quickly and get some sleep. She got back into her bed, switched off the table lamp and laid down. Then she realises she forgot one last place she didn't check. The last thing she saw was a pair of red eyes.

A year later, another girl moved in. Later that night, she as well heard the soft breathing noises. She checked everywhere Jamie checked. Under the bed, the closet. As she got back to her bed. She took out her phone like what all teenagers do nowadays. She heard it. She then realises the last place she didn't check.

The ceiling.

The last thing this girl saw was a pair of red eyes, and a necklace hanging from the creature.

Right Behind You

Back in the 1800's, there was this girl named Jose. She lived in a nice and quite place quite far from town. She had a nice perfect little family until her mom passed and married a sly and mean woman, Amy. When her dad, Scott was not around. She would just slap her or hit her head against the wall. When her father notices it, Amy says she under depression because of her mom, her real mom.

One day, her father needed to leave the country for a week for work. Jose however, refused desperately. Scott then gave her the diamond ring of her real mom. She was calmed down. But Amy was jealous since she just got a gold ring for the marriage.

Later that night when her father had already left for work. Jose was in her bedroom looking at her diamond ring. All of a sudden, Amy rushed in her bedroom and stabbed Jose in the stomach with a kitchen knife. Amy pulled her up-close, she then used her long nails and clawed out Jose eyes. She bled to death. There was a sudden gust of cold wind blew against Amy. But all the windows were locked.

Amy then tries take her ring, but for some reason it wouldn't come off. She then cuts off her index finger to get the ring. But the ring still won't come off her finger. She got so frustrated with the ring and decided the bury Jose, with her finger and the ring. She burried her out at the back of the garden.
She stayed up all night long cleaning up the mess and getting rid of the evidence. She then decided to take a shower. She then hears "1... 2... I'm at the door" in the voice of Jose. She brushed it off easily. "3... 4... I'm at the kitchen floor". She got out of shower and changed to her PJ's.

"5... 6... Coming up the stairs"

 Amy is now getting scared and is trying to calm herself down.

"7... 8... I've got my eyes on you"

"9... 10... I'm right behind you!"

The week has passed. Scott has returned back from home and doesn't find either Amy or Jose in the house. All of their belongings are still in the house. He worries and calls the police. The police notices different colored dirt at the back of the garden, they know it has been dug up recently. The dug up that spot and find Amy's dead body. Her eyes were missing, there was 10 stabs in her chest and all her fingers has been cut off. But there was 11 fingers. One of them has a diamond ring on it.

Omnious voice

I'm just walking. I see a red door, I just went through it. I felt the hot sun on my skin and the wind in the air. I relized that I'm in a alley, I saw a woman walking pass talking on the phone. I asked " May I use your phone? I need to call my wife". She just stared at me, with a terrified look. She screamed at the top of her lungs and droped her phone, she ran.

I was shocked by her reaction. I picked up her phone and dialled our house number. Nobody picked up. I called my wife's office, the secretary picked up. " May I speak to Mrs. Smith?". The secretary replied " Sorry, but Mrs. Smith is at the hospital, her husband got into a horrible car crash.".

I was shocked, dropping the phone. I picked it up and quickly turned on the phone and switched to camera, self potrait. I see myself, but I was different. There was blood all over my head and face. Several deep scars and burned marks. " You're dead" a omnious voice is heard. I spun around and see a guy dressed like the Grim Reaper. He pointed at my feet, I looked down and saw a red trapdoor.

It opened, resulting me falling into it. I feel into a pool of water. The water on waist-level. The water was thick and I soon realized it's actually blood. Fire ignited around me. I can see the pool of blood around and the Grim Reaper in the pool of blood with me. " I can bring you back but it'll cost you". The blood caught on fire and started burning. I felt pain, but it wasn't the fire burning. It was electric jolting my chest. I then passed out.

I woke up in a hospital bed. There was a mirror beside, I looked into it and I'm covered in bandages. I was relieved it was all a dream. " 1517 lives will be taken" said in the same omnious voice. I scanned around the room and don't see the Grim Reaper or any sort. My wife came in and said " The doctor said you almost died, I knew you wouldn't give up". as she hugged me. It was relieving to know that it was a dream. I still remembered what was said. 1517 lives will be taken.

The next few days on the news it is said that the R.M.S Titanic sunk with 2223 passengers, 1517 died. I was shocked, knowing it wasn't a dream. I never told anyone about it and lived like I don't know about it.

Not that bad

It was a usual night where everybody was doing their usual stuff. Mom and dad was still out with their friends. I was laying down on my bed, I picked up my phone and started looking through the news. "Zombie breakout video", etc. I let out a sigh, then my brother Zack came rushing into my room telling me about the zombie breakout. I told him it was a fake video that went viral as news. He's a believer in supernatural stuff. He then showed me this video. There's people running around with blood on them and biting others. I can't tell what they are really doing since the video was blur. "See, it's zombies. This place is not so far from here! Isn't this awesome?" My brother said. I looked at him with a confused look, " You do know nowadays people are good with acting and special FX right? It's all fake." That's where I was wrong.

Then I asked my brother to go to my room to sleep since it's quite late and I was feeling sleepy. I locked my door and went to sleep, note that I'm a heavy sleeper. I woke up at six o'clock, which was the usual time I wake up for school. I changed my clothes and was going downstairs when I was shocked. My family was in the living room, their faces showed worried expressions. My mom was sitting on the sofa with my brother. There were barricades like chairs and table on the door and windows. My dad is sitting in front of the barricade with a hatchet in a hand. I looked at my mom but my mom just gave me a keep quite hint, like one finger in front of the mouth.

I looked out the window, they were people standing outside. All covered in blood, just standing doing nothing. This is when everything goes wrong. My phone started ringing at the full volume. The people outside went crazed and started banging on the door and window. My brother ran to me and said, "I told you zombies were real, but these are attracted to sound like they are blind". My dad ask us to go hide, seeing the barricade failing. I just stood there still confused. My mother and brother went upstairs while I stood there numb. The door finally broke and one of them charged in, my dad gave it a swing and blood was splattered on the ceiling. That's when I started running.

I ran up stairs, ran into attic. Since I didn't think zombies could be that smart. My dad's scream was heard. It echoed in my head. Fear was getting to me. I hear multiples footsteps running up the stairs, doors breaking and my mom and brother screaming. I was the only one left, and terrified. Then I heard someone say "I know you are somewhere here... It's not that bad being one of us". I was shocked, I didn't know zombies could talk. I opened the attic door slightly and they were all covered in blood, " It'll just hurt for a while, and all the pain goes away". I can see one of the living dead woman talking, it's so human like.

It's been two days, I'm struggling without food and water. I am very exhausted and whispered under my breath and said " Maybe it's not that bad after all".

John

Back in 1998, a silent cold night. Adam, a 13 years old kid was watching the television. " John the Killer has already committed a murder today, will he strike again?" said the reporter on the screen. Then Adam hears his dad yelling at him to sleep. He yelled back saying yes as he turned off the television in his bedroom. He switch off the lights and hopped into his bed.

While trying to sleep, he thought he heard a slight giggle. He just brushed it off. He thens heard his parents scream. Adam was terrified thinking it is John the Killer. He then decided to pretend to be asleep. That's when he heard his door creaks and opens.

A teenage looking boy walked in, with hair of shoulder length. Adam's eyes are adjusted to the darkness and can see him. He can see his left eye socket empty. He can see a huge smile on his face. John's head started twitching, then the whole body. Adam was horrified by the twitching, accidentally letting out a gasp. All the twitching stopped, but the head is pointing directly at Adam.

John's hand then reach for the lights and switched it on. Adam quickly shuts his eyes. The lights then switched off. John then starts writing something on the wall, which Adam thinks its blood. Then John crawled under his bed. Adam is curious for the writing on the walls and tries to read it. When his eyes finally adjusted to the dark. The writing on the wall wrote "I know your awake". That's before everything went black.

Going back 10 years ago in 1988, there was a group of psychologist and scientist who planned to clone extra ordinary human. After five years later, in 1993. The clone was five years old and they've discovered that he has better hearing, sight and intelligence then normal human. They named him Subject B.

They named him Subject B because there was Subject A. Who is diagnosed with the Wendigo syndrome. The Wendigo syndrome causes an individual to crave for human flesh and blood desperately. At the same time also diagnosed with Happy Puppet syndrome. Happy Puppet syndrome causes an individual to twitch uncontrollably for a short period of time, which looks like puppet and they can never stop smiling. Subject A is locked away in chamber.

Then until one unfortunate December night in 1997, the scientist accidentally left the chamber of Subject B door open. By that time Subject B was already very smart, but was also diagnosed Wendingo and Happy Puppet syndrome. When Subject B started to charge at the members of the experiment, a scientist tried giving his sedative, which failed resulting accidental stab into Subject B's left eye.

He pulled the needle out, with his eyeball attached to it, still smiling. He saw a glimpse of one of the members name on the coat, which was John. "John the Killer" he said with a slight giggle. He then starts ripping their throats, blood spewing everywhere. He enjoyed it. He killed everyone accept one last scientist who was "John". John the Killer then says "I'll spare you, if you lead me out here." John runs out of the underground facility and went to the nearest safe place, which is a bar. John the Killer was following behind in the shadows.

The next day everyone in the bar is murdered brutally and "John the Killer was here" is written on the walls with blood. That's how he got infamous. John the Killer can be recognized for his incredibly twitching and his smile. If you ever do meet him, you should be dead.
