    Haunted By Death

    Is it possible to forget your past? Or

    0 does it haunt you forever? If you run fast enough can you escape it?

    Rachel thought she could escape her past, but she was wrong. Soon it will catchup with her.

    It was dark and Rachel Harris didnt know where she was. She could hear water running in the distance but she had no idea where it was coming from.

    Rachel thought she could hear someone calling her name, yet she never saw anyone, she was all alone.

    She was scared, she felt like there was something following her, something thatwasnt human. Rather than stand around and do nothing she started walking, hopingshe would come across something that she would recognize or someone that could help her.

    As she was walking she felt the thing following her, it was black and angry andit wanted to hurt Rachel, perhaps even kill her. Feeling more scared by the minute, Rachel began to run. She kept running until she reached what looked like a college.

    Stopping to take in the view, she realized that she wasnt outside just any college, she was outside her college, the same college where something very bad had happen.

    She didnt know why b

    0 ut before she could give it more thought, she started to walk inside. 0Walkingalong the dark creepy corridor she felt death coming closer and closer, wantingto take her. Rachel someone whispered Rachel, come and see this. Rachel saw her exboyfriend Dean further along the corridor. Rachel follow me he whispered. He turned right and disappeared, Rachel followed him.

    When Rachel realized Dean was heading towards the swimming pool, Rachel wanted to turn around and run away. Rachel turned around and prepared to 0

    run, but some unseen force stopped her and made her continue towards the pool.

    As she got closer to the pool she found it harder to breathe, she feared her lungs would give out.

    As Rachel got to the pool doors the moonlight disappeared and she was surroundedin complete darkness. She felt Dean grab her hand, you cant turn back Rachel, I have to show you what youve done.

    They went through the doors and Rachel was scared out of her mind. here you are.

    Rachel felt Dean place something it her hand, it was a flashlight.

    what am I supposed to do with this she whispered, you know what its for

    Dean replied.

    Rachel took a deep breath, turning on the flashlight she pointed it towards thepool. She really tried not to scream, she always tried not to scream but she couldnt help it. Instead of beautiful, clear water in the pool as 0

    0 he stepped closer to the pools edge and waited for what she knew would happen.She turned around to look at dean, only she couldnt see him anywhere, he had vani

    shed. She was all alone with the bloody pool, she didnt want to be alone. Suddenly a hand shot of the pool and pulled Rachel under.

    Rachel woke up in a panic and she could have sworn she was still dreaming because death was standing at the end of her bed. She half wanted to jump out screaming. Rachel couldn

    t, she could feel death closing in on her. She closed her eyesand willed for the Gr

    0 aper to go away. As it got closer it didn

    t just look like death anymore it looked like Amy.

    Amy didn

    t look pretty as she

    d once had. She now looked d 0 ecayed. Amy was

    now so close that Rachel could smell her and it was the most vile stench.

    Rachel could feel vomit rising in her throat. Amy wrapped her now skinless fingers around Rachel

    s neck and began choking the life out of her.

    Rachel bolted upright in bed gasping for air. It was a dream, it had all been adream. Her throat was drier than sand paper and she was drenched in sweat, withthe nightmare still fresh in her mind. Rachel dragged her tired limbs towards the bath, w

    ith guilt drowning her thoughts. The nightmares should have stopped by now but they hadn

    t, and maybe they never would. They would be an eternity of torment that she deserved. After all it was her fault that Amy was dead. Somedays Rachel felt like she shouldn

    t be alive, not while Amy was lying lifeless in the stone cold ground.

    Switching on the light Rachel had to cover her eyes to prevent herself from being b

    0 linded.

    0 After a few moments her eyes managed to adjust to the light.

    When she looked up she let out a horrifying scream. There on the bathroom mirror, written in what looked like blood were the words: You Will Join Me In Death. T

    he message shook Rachel to her very core, it hadn

    t been there last night. Thatmeant that someone had been in her house while she was asleep.

    Suddenly coming back to life she switched off the light, ran out of the bathroomand dove under her bed covers like a scared little child. She didn

    t sleep forthe rest of the night.

    Finally around 6.30am the sun started to rise and light poured into Rachel

    s dark world. Slowly Rachel crept out of her bed and sneaked into the bathroom. Taking a deep she looked at the mirror. She saw nothing but her own reflection. Thiscan

    t be happening she thought, it was there I saw it, didn

    t I? Maybe I

    m goingmad and I dreamt the whole thing. Then why did I stay up all night to scared to

    sleep?

    Rachel checked the bathroom several more times before finally starting to feel safe again. Although she was still a little scared to sleep in case she had morenightmares. Rachel couldn

    t remember the last time she had gotten a decent nights sleep and she wasn

    t sure how much more she could take.

    Tomorrow it would exactly one year since Amy

    s death. The police had called it atragic accident, but Rachel knew better. Amy

    s parents were holding a small remembrance ceremony, and as Amy

    s best friend her parents had asked her to help organize it. Rachel didn

    t want to but its not like she c 0 ould

    0

    decline, that would have seemed strange. She wanted things to appear normal as possible. Even though Rachel wasn

    t keen on attending, she knew it was the rightthing to do. Rachel thought about asking Dean to come with her, even though theyhadn

    t spoken since Amy

    s death.

    Rachel and Dean had been dating for almost two years when Rachel found out thathe and Amy had been having an affair. Rachel had been heartbroken, and felt likeshe had been stabbed in the back, especially by Amy. She was supposed to be herbest friend.

    Rachel had refused to speak to either of them ever again. Rachel had been swimming when Amy had come over to try to explain herself. They had ended up yelling at each other. In a fit of rage Rachel had pushed Amy into the pool forgetting that she couldn

    t swim. Once Rachel realized what she had done instead of jumpingin to save her she had decided to stand there and watch for a few minutes and enjoy Amy

    s fear.

    Rachel however had underestimated the strength of Amy

    s fear, she ended up having a panic attack and drowned before Rachel could save her. Well, that wasn

    t entirely true, she didn

    t even try to save Amy, she just left her there.

    Rachel then had dried her hair and swimsuit before franticly screaming for help.When the police had shown up Rachel told them she had come to the pool for a qu

  • 8/3/2019 Twisted Horror Volume 1

    7/97

    ick swim when she had found Amy floating lifeless in it. The police had believedher story, but Rachel wasn

    t sure that Dean did. She had seen the suspicion inhis eyes that night and they hadn

    t seen or spoken to each other since.

    Rachel had been feeling extremely guilty ever since that night but she couldn

    tbring herself to tell anyone what she had done. After much debate Rachel decidedto go and speak to Dean in person rather than over the phone, he might not spea

    k to her otherwise. Even though she had been hurt by his betrayal so also missedhim. She longed to have Dean hold her in his arms and kiss away the nightmares.Rachel wanted nothing more than for things to go back to the way they used to be before he cheated on her, before Amy

    s death.

    That meant having Dean back in her life.

    10

    After spending an hour and a half getting ready Rachel was standing outside Dean

    s house. She had yet to find the courage to knock on the door. Rachel hadn

    t realized until now how nerve-racking this was going to be. After standing there like an idiot for what seemed like forever she finally knocked.

    Dean answered the door looking very sexy in just a T-shirt and boxers. Rachel licked her lips, he looked yummy, he also looked shocked to see her.

    Rachel whatare you doing here?

    Rachel was now more nervous than before,

    its Amy ceremonytomorrow and I was wondering if you would go with me.

    Dean looked disgusted bythe idea.

    No way in hell, I still believe you had something to do with Amy

    s death. We both know that she was terrified of water, she wouldn

    t have gone anywhere near the pool by herself.

    For a moment Rachel was too stunned to speak, finally all she could say was,

    I told the truth that day,

    whatever

    dean spat and he slammed the door in herface. Rachel felt tears well up in her eyes, the happy reunion she had picturedwith Dean was now shattered. Amy was dead so why was she still coming between Dean and her. Rachel cried all the way home, by the time she got back she was e

    However Rachel had more than a quick nap, when she finally woke up it was dark outside and her bedroom was pitch black. Stumbling around in the dark she tried to find the light switch, but when she did the lights never came on.

    She then had to search the darkness for the torch that she knew she had, somewhere. After searching for what seemed like forever she finally found it.

    Rachel tried the light in the hallway with no luck, she figured the power must be out. She would have to reset the fuse box. The torch didn

    t give out nearly enough light.

    Rachel descended slowly down the stairs, she could see very far ahead. As she came to the bottom of the stairs she noticed a huge pool of water. Great she thought I

    ve got a leak as well as a power failure. The fuse box was in the basement,Rachel hated going down there at night so she wasn

    t looking forward to this. T

    he fuse box was at the far corner of the basement so Rachel had to step around and over all the junk she had collected over the years.

    There were her second and third place swimming medals. Rachel was a good swimmer

    but not good enough for first place. Rachel only competed for two years beforeshe realized she preferred swimming as a hobby rather than a sport. I really should come down here and clean more often Rachel thought, its getting far too dusty. Shining the light directly at the fuse box she turned off the main power source, pressed the reset button and the turned the switch and waiting for the lights to come back on. They didn

    t. Rachel tried not to panic but then things got worse, the torch light went out. It didn

    t take long for Rachel

    s fear to kick inand pump loudly throughout her whole body.

    Rachel thought she heard something, they sounded like footsteps. She also felt ice cold and the room began to fill up with the smell of death and decay. I needto get out of here, that was Rachel

    s last thought before skinless fingers wrapp

    ed themselves around her throat. Rachel

    s eyes flew open and she shot up in panic. Everything was okay she was safe in her bed. Looking at the clock on her bedside table she found that she had only gotten an hours sleep. Rachel was sick ofthese nightmares, so she was going to do something she hadn

    t done since Amy

    s death, she was going to swim in that pool. She was going to do it right now.

    It was only a twenty minute drive to the college, but in those twenty minutes Rachel nearly turned back five times. However she forced herself to continue towards the pool. It would be the only way to put an end to the nightmares that had been haunting her for the past year.

    Rachel took her time getting changed, she knew it was silly to be scared but shewas. Now that she

    d had more time to think about it, it seemed sick to swim in

    the same pool where your best friend had died. Especially since she was the onethat was responsible for her death. However she needed to stop being afraid, soafter getting her old swimsuit on she headed towards the pool.

    Since it was late she had the entire pool to herself and instead of the huge bloodbath she usually saw in her nightmares there was just clear water.

    Looking at it now Rachel felt surprisingly calm. Yet she didn

    t dive straight inlike she usually did, instead she dipped her toe in like she was afraid it would bite her. After testing the water she climbed to the top of the diving boarding.

    12

    As she prepared to dive she could feel her knees shaking. Before she could backout, Rachel jumped off the board.

    It wasn

    t her finest dive at least she didn

    t belly flop. She felt her skin hitthe water, it felt good. Rachel didn

    t know why she had been so scared. To her swimming was the most relaxing thing a person could do. As she did a few lengthsRachel had a feeling she would be getting a good nights sleep. Closing her eyes

    Rachel took in the feeling of the cool water and as she did she could feel all her guilt evaporating. It made her feel good.

    That was until something grabbed Rachel

    s ankle and dragged her under the water.Rachel was kept underwater by unseen hands. She reached the bottom of the pooland she could feel her lungs running out of oxygen. At this point Rachel believed that she was going to die, nothing would save her.

    Her lungs were crying out for air. Then she saw Amy swimming towards her beforeeverything went black.

    Rachel felt like she was floating, everything was light and fuzzy. She thought she heard voices calling her name, everything sounded so far away. Her thoughts were all disoriented and she couldn

    t make any sense of what was going on aroundher.

    The last thing she remembered was being in that pool. So she thought, does thatmean I

    m dead or alive? Rachel didn

    t have enough energy and she passed out again.

    Rachel awoke to the sound of beeping, it was getting on her nerves she wanted itto stop. After trying unsuccessfully to blocked it out she gave in and opened h

    er eyes. The bright light made it hard to see but she slowly managed to focus.

    Then she noticed the machine and realized she was attached to wires; she didn

    tlike it,

    honey your awake, I was so worried.

    She looked over and saw someone

    s mum; no her mum looking at her with concern.

    How are you feeling?

    She felt like laughing she felt like shit her head hurt, that was how she was feeling.

    I

    The Dream Man If you found your dream man would he be as perfect as you thoughthe would?

    Laura knew it was silly and stupid of her but she couldn

    t wait to see him again. He was perfect, gorgeous, and caring. She had found her perfect guy and he wasall hers. She meeting him tonight. First she had to get through the school day.

    Laura Knight isn t exactly what you would call the most popular girl in school.She can be painfully shy and often gets picked on for it. She has one close friend, Molly White who she has known since she was five years old, they also went to the same primary school and have stuck together ever since. She hadn

    t told Molly about Ash yet he had asked they keep their dates a secret, something that was just between them. Laura thought is was the most romantic thing ever, but shewas dying to tell Molly, she was her best friend after all, her only friend.

    As she walked to school she thought about what life would be like if Ash would just rescue her from her miserable life, they could run away together and never come back, they would be happy and content, never having to leave each other s si

    de ever again. Now that they had met, she couldn

    t imagine life without him.

    0

    As she approached the school she could feel herself getting that nervous feelingin the pit of her stomach, this happened every morning and didn

    t understand why. She did this every day, five days a week, she should be used it by now, but she wasn

    t and she probably never would be.

    Once inside she went straight to her locker, while trying to avoid as many people as possible. Luckily for Laura her locker was too far from the main entrance.

    When Laura opened the door the first thing she noticed was the large blood red rose that lay inside. Laura suddenly felt I little pale. The rose looked exactlylike the one Ash always gave her when they met. There was a note tape to it, itread: see you very soon, love A.

    How could that be? She never saw Ash during the day, and certainly not at school. This had to be some sort of sick joke, but who would do this, who would know?

    She had never uttered a single word to anyone, nobody could possibly know, yet she was staring at evidence in her locker. The bell rang telling the students itwas the beginning of first period.

    Laura jumped out of her skin completely startled. I couple of girls that were walking by started laughing and Laura could feel herself going a little red.

    Thats great she thought, the day hasn

    t even started yet and already I want to die.

    Grabbing the stuff she would need for Art class she slammed her locker shut andtried to forget about the rose and the stupid note, she had come to the conclusion that it was meant for someone else and they had put it in her locker by mistake. After all what other explanation could there be?

    She took her usual place next to Molly and tried to think no more about the rosewhile she waited for Miss Loren to begin the lesson. Miss Loren told them they

  • 8/3/2019 Twisted Horror Volume 1

    11/97

    could draw whatever they wanted, she wanted her class to be creative.

    Laura wasn

    t going to have any trouble deciding what to draw, there was only oneanswer, Ash. The whole time she was sketching she could feel Molly

    s eyes on her asking a million questions. Usually the two girls wouldn

    t shut up 16

    throughout the class, but this time Laura was so focused on her drawing she didn

    t even look in her friend

    s direction.

    Ash had been visiting Laura in her dreams for weeks now and she never wanted hisvisits to stop. Laura looked forward to going to sleep just so she could see him again.

    Laura had never met anyone like Ash, he was kind and sweet although he was a little secretive but a little mystery was good in a guy.

    The first time she had met Ash hed turned up in what Laura considered to me a normal dream. She had been walking through dark woods with Molly after they had takena different trail back home from school, they had ended up getting a little lost and before they knew it theyd gotten lost.

    Somewhere along the trail Molly and Laura had gotten separated so Laura had ended up walking alone, and even though in real life she would have been terrified for some reason she wasnt.

    After walking awhile Laura had ended up at a rundown abandoned house, somethinghad compelled her to go inside. When Laura had entered the house she could hearcrying, the crying was soft and faint at first but as Laura search through the h

    ouse the crying gradually got louder. Eventually the crying lead to the loft.

    Laura entered the loft, at first she couldnt see anything, it was dark and dirtyand Laura had a feeling she shouldnt be here, but when she had tried to leave Laura found she had no where to go, she was trapped. Then the crying had stopped and a voice whispered you found me.

    A beautiful looking boy had then revealed himself hello my name is Ash, whats yours?

    Ash had taken her hand and kissed it and she had melted, Im Laura.

    Ash had smileda sweet smile well Laura, you and I are going to be seeing a lot more of each other from now on.

    Then Laura had woken up.

    When Laura had finished sketching Ash she stopped to admire his perfect face. Sowas Molly,

    wow, who is that?

    Laura slowly tore her away from her angel to look at Molly,

    just a friend of mine

    she replied trying to sound 0

    casual.

    oh really, Molly replied with a slight smirk, and when do I get to meethim

    ?

    Laura tried not to blush with embarrassment. How could she explain to Molly thatshe could never meet Ash because she only existed in her dreams?

    It sounded crazy even to her.

    s very shy about meeting new people, so probably not for a while.

    Molly looked a little hurt and Laura felt guilty about lying to her, but Laura didn

    t really want to tell anyone about Ash. She liked the fact that he was her little secret.

    Both girls sat in silence for the rest of the class, and when the bell rang Laura ran out the door. She wanted to avoid any more questions from Molly, Laura could tell she had lots.

    The rest of the day passed by in a blur. She and Molly didn

    t have anymore class

    es together so Laura could daydream about Ash without being interrupted. She kept trying to imagine what it would be like to kiss him. Ash had a nice smile andhis lips looked soft, like rose petals.

    Then her thoughts were interrupted,

    Hi Laura, how are you?

    Laura wasn

    t happywhen she noticed who it was. It was Jimmy, her own personal stalker.

    I am good

    0

    thanks Jimmy, and really busy so I have to go now.

    Laura didn

    t like being meanto Jimmy since she knew all too well what it was like to be on the other side of it, but she didn

    t like him that much, and he had a huge crush on her.H

    0 e made her feel sick. He had braces and he always got food stuck in them, plushis skin was very greasy. Laura would much rather be looking at Ash,

    okay byethen

    Jimmy called after her.

    Just before she headed home Laura decided to check her locker again to make surethe rose and the note was still there. Sure enough when she opened the door itwas lying there exactly as she had left it this morning. Laura quickly put the items in her bag before anyone could see.

    The day was finally over and she could go home, and for once she actually wantedto walk home alone, but she would feel bad if she just abandoned Molly. Laura just hoped she wouldn

    t ask too many questions.

    18

    Her prayers were not answered throughout the whole way home. Molly would not shut up about Ash for one-second, she wanted to know everything.

    How old was he?

    Where did he go to school?

    How did he and Laura meet?

  • 8/3/2019 Twisted Horror Volume 1

    13/97

    Had they kissed yet?

    Did he have a brother she could go out with?

    Usually the two friends talked non stop on the way home, but right now Laura would have given anything for silence. When they got to Laura

    s house she quickly said goodbye to her friend and then ran upstairs to her bedroom, without even say

    ing hello to her mother. Laura finally had a flower to put in the vase her father had given her when he went to china.

    After spending all day thinking about Ash she wanted nothing more to go to sleepso she could see him. It was only 3.30pm but a little nap wouldn

    t hurt.

    Laying down on her bed she put a small blanket around herself and was soon fastasleep. 0

    When she feel asleep Ash was by her side,

    Hello cutie.

    Laura blushed, she wasstill very shy around him.

    Hey,

    she replied.

    I missed you

    Ash said bluntly.Laura blushed even more

    I missed you too.

    Ash then leaned in and kissed her, a

    nd Laura felt her body go into shock.

    She thought she had died and gone to heaven, this moment was so perfect she never wanted it to end. Ash trailed his hands up and down her back making her shiverwith pleasure. When Ash broke the kiss Laura couldn

    t hide her disappointment.Then he faded from view and Laura was back in her room.

    Laura wanted to be with Ash as much as she could, so when she wasn

    t at school or doing homework she would crawl into bed and dream of Ash. They were spending increasingly more time together. Laura was spending more time sleeping than she was awake. S

    0 he knew her mother and Molly were

    worried about her, but they didn

    t need to be. She was happy. Ash also seemed towant to spend more time with her, and he got very upset when she had to leave.

    0

    Laura never wanted to leave him either but she couldn

    t very well sleep for therest of her life now could she? Ash would ask her many questions about herself,but he was very reluctant to answer any of Laura

    s questions about himself. Justwhen Laura was about to go to bed she heard her mother coming up the stairs shouting her name.

    Her mother came in without knocking and she looked a l 0

    ittle angry,

    you

    better not have been sleeping again.

    I wasn

    t,

    she insisted but Laura could tell my the look on her mother

    s face that she didn

    Mrs Wright s

    0 miled at her daughter

    good, I

    ll be calling in to check on you and I

    ll beingleaving contact details on the fridge in case there are problems

    .

    Laura hugged her mother.

    0I

    ll be fine mum dont worry, I

    ll have Molly over to keep me company.

    Her mother smiled

    that

    s a great idea.

    In other words you d 0 ont w

    0

    ant me sleeping

    all day Laura thought.

    She was glad her mother was going away for a few days it would be nice to have the house to herself, without her mother

    s worried gaze following her everywhere.She meant what she said she wouldn

    t sleep all the time. Just all day Sunday, nobody ever did anything on Sundays anyway.

    When her mother left the room Laura did all her homework for the week so she wouldn

    t fall behind. After all the work was completed she ended up watching this crime show on TV where some boy murdered his girlfriend and then chopped up her body with an axe. Once it had finished she yawned and looked at her watch, but was disappointed to find that it had only just gone 9.00pm. Her mother had alreadyleft for her trip so she didn

    t see the harm in going to sleep early.I

    0 nstead of going up to her room she decided to sleep right there on the sofa. Laura lay down and closed her eyes.

    Before she knew it Ash was right in front of her, it was like he appeared out ofnowhere.

    20

    He made Laura jump out of her skin in fright and All Ash did was laugh.

    Sorry, didn

    t mean to scare you.

    She would have believed him if it wasn

    t forhuge grin plastered on his face.

    Why do you keep doing that?

    Its fun, I likescaring you

    .

    Well, I don

    t like it so please stop

    . Ash just laughed,

    I

    ll th

    ink about it.

    Laura tried to laugh,

    I have to ask you something, did you puta rose and note in my locker?

    oh good you got it.

    Laura thought he would deny it and tell her not to be silly, that it was impossible.

    How did you do that? Your not real, you only exist because I dreamt you up.

    Ash suddenly looked serious,

    I existed long before we met you silly girl.

    Laura felt hurt being called a silly girl, She wanted to be a woman in Ash

    s eyes, not a child. Ash sighed,

    come on I

    ve got something to show you.

    Ash took h

    0 er hand and suddenly they were in the woods,

    Ash were are you taking me?

    Tomy house

    he replied simply. Laura didn

    t understand it she made him up, how could he possibly have a house. Then she saw it.

    The house was huge, it was almost the size of a mansion.

    Who else lives here?

    Laura asked, al0most afraid of his answer, how many more people had she createdin this dream world of hers?

    No one, I live here by myself.

    When she heard this Laura felt sorry for him,

    that must be very lonely for you.

    It is

    he saidwith sadness in his eyes, he looked like he was trying not to cry.

    Laura wrapped her arms around him and pulled him close to her. Ash hugged her ba

    ck for a moment before pulling away, he was smiling again,

    let me show you inside.

    The house was as amazing on the inside as it was on the outside Laura had neverseen anything like it.

    Do you want to see my bedroom?

    Ash asked her.

    Laura could feel herself going red,

    okay

    she said quietly. As Ash lead her upthe stairs Laura could feel her whole body shaking with nerves.

    As he opened the bedroom door Laura didn

    t think she had been so nervous in herentire life, she was afraid she

    d pass out.

    Ash

    s bed was huge, bigger than a king size and yet it didn

    t even take up half

    the room. Ash lead her to it and they sat down. Laura couldn

    t think of 0

    anything to say, the only thing she could hear was the sound of her own breathing. She looked at Ash, staring into his deep green eyes like an idiot.

    Suddenly Ash pounced on her like a tiger, and before she could figure out what was going on she felt his lips on hers. He felt so warm on top on her, Laura would have stayed here forever if she could. Then as if he had read her mind he said,

    if you could would you stay with me? I hate being alone.

    Laura didn

    t hesitate to answer,

    If I could I

    d stay here with you always

    .

    Ash smiled, that then his beautiful green eyes turned black. He had a weird smile on his face.

    That

    s all I needed to hear, now you will be here forever.

    Laura would have laughed, but he looked completely serious.

    Your kidding right?

    not I

    m not.

    Laura was suddenly very afraid, and before she it Ash

    s nice warm room but changing before her eyes. It was now a stone cold dungeon, and the bed Laura had beenlying on was now a rack, that she was now chained to.

    Laura couldn

    t fight her fear,

    Ash what

    s going on?

    He flashed her a sadisticsmile

    like I said I

    m lonely, so I find girls like you to play with. I come tothem in dreams and make them mine forever. You

    ll be here for as long as I want,

  • 8/3/2019 Twisted Horror Volume 1

    16/97

    I

    ll torture you physically and mentally until you beg for death.

    Ash stoppedtalking and pulled out a sharp knife.

    Please let me go

    Laura begged,

    Why would I do that?

    You said you wanted to be with me and now you will.

    Ash then sliced Laura

    s armand watched with utter joy as the blood poured out. Laura kept screaming wake up, wake up in her head. Finally Ash began to disappear.

    Laura was still screaming when she woke up. She was lying on the sofa in the living room. For a moment Laura felt relief but the she saw her arm, it was bleeding. She quickly ran to the kitchen to get the first aid kit her mother kept underthe sink.

    Laura rinsed her arm under the cold tap before wrapping it tightly in bandages praying it would stop the bleeding. Her legs then suddenly gave way and Laura collapsed on the floor sobbing. What the hell had happened, what she ever be able to sleep again?

    22

    Laura didn

    t want to be alone tonight so she called Molly. Molly was more than happy to, she even sounded excited. Laura didn

    t want to about Ash, she would bevery happy if she never saw him again. An hour later Molly was at her door, andin that time Laura had consumed two cups of coffee and taken anti sleeping tablets in the hope that she would be able to stay awake all night.

    Just as she had dreaded Molly wanted to talk about Ash. The only thing Laura could do was sit there shaking in fear.

    Eventually Molly shut up long enough to notice that something was wrong with herfriend.

    Laura are you okay? You

    ve barely said a word.

    Laura couldn

    t even get one word out before she burst into tears for the second time that night. She broke down and told Molly everything, not caring if she believed her not. She just needed to tell someone, maybe Molly could help her fix it.

    By the time Laura finished telling her friend everything Molly looked at her like she was insane, but like a good friend was supposed to do Molly held Laura inher arms while she cried her eyes out.

    A few hours later Molly was exhausted and headed up to bed in Laura

    s spare room. Molly made Laura promise that she was get some sleep, but when Molly went to her room she crept downstairs.

    Laura made herself a fresh cup of coffee while she tried to figure out a way toget rid of Ash and stop him from entering her dreams. After staying up all nightthe only thing she had come up with was a stupid dream catcher. She wasn

    t evensure it would work, they were toys, nothing more.

    However wh

    0 at else could she do? Laura couldn

    t stay awake for the rest of her life, it j

    17/97

    ust wasn

    t possible.

    Just before 9.00AM Laura sneaked back upstairs and into bed so Molly would thinkshe

    d slept. Half an hour later she heard Molly had aw 0

    akened. She

    immediately came into Laura

    s room,

    are you awake?

    Yea I am

    . Laura hadn

    t looked in the mirror but she hoped she didn

    t look like she had been up all night.

    0

    They headed downstairs for breakfast. Molly poured herself some cereal, while Laura made herself some toast and black coffee. They had school i 0 n one

    hour and Laura was dreading it more than usual. She just hoped she would make itthrough the day alive.

    Before the day was over Laura planned to buy a dream catcher, it was the only thing that might save her.

    Both of the girls w

    ere silent w

    0 hile they ate, neither of them knowing what to say to each other. When Molly went upstairs to get dressed Laura made a flask full of coffee to get her throughthe day. She put it straight in her bag so Molly wouldnt s

    0 ee it, she didn

    t want her friend giving her the same look that she had last night.

    Laura had never really been one for make-up but before she headed out to schoolshe put on some of her mother

    s concealer under her eyes.

    As they walked to school Molly was the first to speak,

    you feeling better?

    She0

    asked awkwardly.

    I

    m okay for now.

    You 0

    18/97

    know there just dreams right they

    can

    t hurt you.

    Laura was getting upset

    What about the cut on my arm, how canyou explain that?

    I can

    t but dreams don

    t kill you.

    Molly replied. Laura didn

    t see the point in arguing Molly just wasn

    t going to believe her.

    Before they went their separate ways Molly gave Laura a tight hug.

    Laura waited until Molly disappeared from view before heading out of school ground and into town. She would never have normally skipped school but it was life or death. She needed to fi

    0

    nd a dreamcatcher and soon, it was her only hope. Laura thought it was going tobe easy to find one but she was wrong.

    Finally she came across an antique store that had several of them in the window.Lau

    0

    ra half expected to be old and musty, but it was surprisingly clean and fresh.

    Laura wasn

    t sure what a good dreamcatcher was supposed to look like, She hopedthe salesperson behind the counter would have the answer.

    She wasn

    t sure what to ask him.

    He

    0 y I need a dream catcher to stop this

    psycho that I dreamt up from trapping me in my dreams with him forever

    .

    Laura doubted it would go down well, instead she went with

    excuse me which 24

    dream catcher would you recommend to keep out nightmares or even stop dreaming completely?

    The man looked a little surprised

    you shouldn

    t want to stop dreaming, dreams are what keep you sane. However for nightmares I would suggest this

    .H

    0 e went to the back of the shop and returned a few moments later with a complicated looking dreamcatcher.

    It had weird looking symbols, and crystals hanging from it.

    This should do thetrick it was supposedly created by a witch to keep demons away.

    That 0

    sounds like exactly what I

    m looking for, how much is it?

    Thirty pounds

    he said shamelessly.

    Under normal circumstances Laura would have found it a complete ripoff but not when it could save her life,

    I

    ll take it.

    When she got outside Laura held thedream catcher up to the light.

    As she stared at it she already began to feel safer. Laura went straight home and hung the catcher above her bed. She wanted to try it out immediately so she set her alarm on her phone to go off in half an hour just in case the catcher didn

    19/97

    t work.

    She really needed to sleep she hadn

    t gotten any sleep in also twenty-four hours. Laura threw herself onto the bed, not bothering to get under the covers or even take off her shoes. She was fast asleep in less than five minutes. The next thing Laura heard was a loud ringing, she woke up in confusion and looked around soon realizing that it was just her alarm. She was lying on her bed safe in her r

    oom. Laura could

    t believe the dream catcher had actually worked, usually Ash appeared the minute she fell asleep. Now for the first time in weeks he hadn

    t appeared, Laura smiled and went back to sleep.

    When Laura woke up it was dark, she looked at her phone and found that she had ten missed calls and two voice messages from Molly. Laura looked at the clock, itread just after six.

    She sent Molly a quick text message saying that she was okay and that she

    d explain everything tomorrow. Laura was hungry it was dinner time, Laura wasn

    t the worlds best cook so she pulled a pizza out of the freezer. Just as Laura closed the oven there was a loud banging at the front door. When she opened it Molly bur

    st through.

    Where the hell have you been? I

    ve been so worried about you.

    I

    m fine I justwent to buy a dream catcher and then I went to sleep.

    Molly just stared at her friend

    Are you kidding? Laura I told you they are justdreams, they won

    t hurt you.

    Molly if you had the same dream I had you wouldn

    t be saying that.

    Molly deflated

    I

    m just worried about you

    I know, but don

    t worry about me I

    ll be okay.

    Molly had a lot of homework to do so she did stay long. Once Molly left Laura began to wonder, had she overreacted?

    The dream had seemed so real, and how did she explain the knife slash on her arm? They didn

    t get there by themselves

    you won

    t keep me away forever Laura others have tried, none had succeeded

    . Laura looked behind her, Ash was standing there.

    His once beautiful green eyes were still black. Laura felt like death had just entered the house. Ash moved closer towards her, Laura tried to move but her feetwere firmly frozen in there place.

    Ash got very close then leaned in and kissed her, his once warm soft lips were now hard and cold.

    I will own you Laura no matter how long it takes

    . He then shoved her hard on the floor, when Laura got back up he was gone.

    Suddenly the smoke alarm went off, and Laura r 0 emembered the pizza in the

    oven. The pizza was too badly burnt to eat, not that Laura cared she didn

    t feellike eating anymore. Laura couldn

    t bare to be in the house alone, so she phoned Molly and begged her to let hers

    agreed and suggested that Laura see a doctor, Laura tr 0 ied not to be

    offended.S

    0 he packed an overnight bag also taking the dreamcatcher. Molly had asked Laurato give her an hour so she could finish her homework.

    Laura didn

    t want to stay in the house by herself a moment longer so she went for a walk, the fresh air would do her good. She decided to go to the park, it always made her happy when she was a child. Laura went straight on the swings, thesimple movements made her feel free.

    You can run but you can

    t hide

    Ash was now pushing the swing. Laura was trembling

    What is it going to take for you to leave me alone?

    I just want some company whats wrong with that?

    Laura needed a way to get rid of him, 26

    she just could not cope any longer suddenly had an idea, and even when the thought entered her head she hated herself but didnt feel like she had any other choice. Sh

    0 e prayed Ash would agree to it, if he didn

    t she didn

    t know what would happento her.

    Molly woke up dazed and confused, she had no idea where she was. Molly slowly lifted her head and then regretted it when the pain hit. All she wanted to do waslie back down but she had to figure out where she was. Slowly getting up her legs just about managed to hold her up. Look 0

    S

    0 he thought about calling out for help then decided against it, someone put herhere and they were probably still in the house. Walking through the hallway Molly saw several doors, none of which she wanted to enter.

    The thing that scared Molly the most was how deadly silent th 0

    e whole place

    was she couldn

    t hear a single voice. The only sounds she hear was her own breathing and footsteps. She couldn

    t remember how she had gotten here, the last thing she remembered was going to bed. Maybe I

    m dreaming she thought, she pinched herself to check

    ouch

    nope this was real. I

    ll be okay she thought I just needto find a way out of here. Maybe I

    ll find a phone, that would be a huge plus.

    As she got to the end of the hallway Molly found herself facing a wall. She hadno choice but to head back the way she came. She decided to try one of the doorsafter all maybe one of them would have a phone.

    Molly tried the biggest door first hoping it would hold the most luck. When sheopened it she was disappointed, it was someone

    s bedroom. There was a huge bed in the even bigger room, Molly had never seen a room so big. Molly could hear water running and against her better judgment she decided to take a look. When sheopened the door her mouth fell open in the shower was the most beautiful man shehad ever seen.

    Then he turned around and smiled at her, that smile made Molly

    s blood run cold.

    Laura wished her mother would drive faster, Molly had been in an accident and was seriously hurt. She couldn

    t believe this had happened to her best friend.

    The drive to the hospital seemed to be taking forever. Laura hoped Molly would be okay. When they finally arrived at the hospital Laura

    s heart was pounding allthe way to her friend

    s room. Laura could hear the sound of the machine even before she entered the room.

    For a moment Laura felt sadness stab at her heart, Molly was lying in the bed lifeless. Doctors said she would probably never wake up.

    Laura looked at her friend who looked like she was sleeping peacefully

    I

    m sorry but better you than me

    she whispered.

    Blood Lust

    28

    He walks up to me without saying a word. He has short blonde hair and striking blue eyes, his white shirt is open revealing a white smooth chest that almost looks like marble.

    He is the most beautiful man I have ever seen. At first glance he looks like an

    angel. When he smiles showing white razor sharp teeth and I realize with fear that he is anything but.

    I should have run away screaming at that moment for all my life is worth, instead I take a step closer to him to get a better look. His fangs are about an inchlong and could easily kill me within a spilt second. I press my thumb up againsthis sharp tooth and feel it pierce my skin.

    I pull it back and see tiny drops of blood. Of course he notices and gently takes my thumb and puts it in his mouth.

    Keeping his eyes locked with mine he slowly and gently sucks it. His cool tonguefeels good on my skin, I cant help but moan. Suddenly he takes my thumb out and

    runs his tongue along his fangs.

    Im scared again, but I still dont move away from him. He goes to bite my neck. I dont want him to do this, so I catch his lips with my own. I can tell this move has shocked him and his body stiffens a little, although it doesnt take him long torelax and he starts to kiss me passionately.

    I pull his shirt out from his pants and run my hands up his back. I feel him grow hard against me in response.

    He slowly pulls away from me and rips open my shirt in one go and then unhooks my bra in one smooth motion. Before I can stop him he brings his mouth to my breast and begins to suck my nipple.

    I can feel myself growing wet. Suddenly he bites my breast hard and I struggle not to scream. I look down and see blood coming out of the wound.

    He starts licking the bite marks and doesnt stop until they close.

    He then looks up and are eyes lock, I thought his eyes would be hard and cold, instead I found them warm and almost loving. He continues to stare at me and I start to feel uncomfortable.

    Taking my eyes off his I take of his shirt and throw it on my living room floor.

    I admire his torso, every inch of it is perfect muscle and pale skin.

    on me. He kisses

    me fiercely while undoing my trousers and starts to rub me.

    He keeps changing the speed from fast to slow and then back again driving me insane. Just when I cant take it anymore he stops to pull my bottoms off and to freehis cock. 0

    I cant do anything except start at his cock, its huge and Im worried he will hurtme. He senses my fear and doesnt go straight in, instead his kisses my inner thighs. Then he did something shocking, he spoke. May I. Stunned, I can only nod.

    The bite this time didnt hurt as much as the bite on her breast, in fact he was sucking so gently that I started to enjoy it. When he did withdraw his fangs I si

    ghed at the loss.

    Now I am dripping wet from pleasure and he knows Im ready for him. In one quick motion he slides inside me.

    I wince at the entry and try to stay relaxed. He trails kisses down my neck until he reaches his bite mark on my breast and licks it. All while thrusting in andout of me. After adjusting to his length I manage to match his pace and soon all that matters to us is each other.

    I bring my lips up to his and our ton

    0

    gues dance with each other. Before I even know what Im doing I bite his lip drawing his blood, its cold and tastes sweet.

    This sends him over the edge and I feel his cold seed filling my hot body.

    Hes not finished yet and hes flips us both over so that Im now riding him.

    He takes this opportunity to play with my breasts squeezing my sensitive nipplesbetween his fingers.

    I ride him hard and fast, before going slow and sensual. I can feel my orgasm bu

    ilding and I can tell he feels it, he grabs me and pulls me further down towardshim and buries his fangs in my neck just as I reach my peek. The powerful rushoverwhelms me and I almost pass out.

    Forever Friends

    Scarlett awoke dead on midnight as always, she could never figure out what roused her from her sleep. Every night at midnight her eyes flew open and then she wouldn

    t be able to go back to sleep for the rest of the night. This had 0

    been the nightly routine for the past month and sadly tonight was no different.

    Scarlett knew sleep would not return tonight no matter how much she tried, so she got out of bed to begin her new routine, doing her homework.

    Scarlett had a very faint memory of going through the same thing before but shecouldn

    t remember when. Scarlett didn

    t like to think about it too much it made

  • 8/3/2019 Twisted Horror Volume 1

    25/97

    her uncomfortable.

    Scarlett would love to have someone to talk to but everyone was asleep like a normal person. She had tried to call her best friend Katherine once but all she got was a few sleepy mumbles of

    don

    t worry

    and

    everything will be okay.

    Scarlett always tried to go back to sleep but once twelve rolled around even clo

    sing her eyes was a struggle.

    For the last three weeks Scarlett had decided to use her new situation to her advantage, she used the time to get homework done and study.

    She hoped this situation wouldn

    t last forever, Scarlett was having to go to bedat six every night just so she could get a decent nights sleep. It was creatinghuge cracks in her social life, She couldn

    t remember the last time she

    d wentto a party or had a sleepover.

    Scarlett had to write an essay on Shakespeare

    s Macbeth 0she wasn

    t looking forward to writing it, it was so depressing.

    Scarlett quietly made her way downstairs, careful not to wake her father he wasa light sleeper. Going into the kitchen she made herself some tea and toast. While she waited for the kettle to boil Scarlett stared out the window into the night sky. At first glance the night looked peaceful and beautiful, it 32

    was like time itself stood still. However the more Scarlett looked the scarier the night seemed.

    Anything could happen in the shadows of darkness where no one could see.

    Evil crawled around at night waiting for its prey.

    The kettle finished boiling and switched itself off making Scarlett jump. She liked her tea milky and her toast well done. Scarlett hadn

    t planned to do the whole essay in one night but before she knew it she

    d completed the whole thing. She looked at the clock, she still have five hours until she

    d have to get ready for school. Scarlett didn

    t have anymore homework to do, so she decide to go fora walk even though it could be dangerous to be out alone at this time.

    Quietly going back upstairs she quickly got dressed. When she was outside in thefresh air Scarlett felt so free, like she could do anything. Scarlett started walking, and she kept walking. Suddenly Scarlett was standing at someone

    s gravesite, it read: Mary Stuart Born 1975 died 1992. Scarlett blinked several times,she felt like she had just woken from a daze.

    She remember leaving her house and taking a walk, but she couldn

    t remember wanting to head to a graveyard or why she would. Scarlett had no idea who Mary Stuart was or why she would be standing at her grave. Feeling freaked out she ran home and got straight back into bed, even though she knew their was no chance of sleep. Scarlett lay wide awake in her bed until the sun came up, by the time Scarlett needed to get ready for school she was feeling a little better about what happened, from now on she wasn

    t going out in the middle of the night, simple.

    When Scarlett got to c

    s events.

    Now she would have to until tomorrow, and just when she thought things couldn

    tget worse a strange girl, who Scarlett had never seen before sat down in Katherine

    s chair.

    Scarlett was having none of it. She wasn

    The girl just smiled

    you must be Scarlett,

    she held 0

    s it to you?

    Scarlett replied coldly,

    Mr Green said that you would show me around, I just started here.

    Oh great Scarlett though, I

    m stuck babysitting the new kid.

    Sure

    Scarlett said sweetly

    I

    d love nothing more than to show you around.

    Scarlett could hear the sarcasm in her voice loud and clear, she never used to be this bitchy, it came with the sleeping problems.

    The girl was still standing there, staring at Scarlett like an idiot,

    I

    m Katieby the way.

    Scarlett shot her a cold look,

    good for you

    she said icily. Finally Katie took the hint and returned to her seat.

    When Mr Green walked into the classroom he was straight down to business as usual,

    today I want you to write about an important event in your whether it be good or bad.

    Scarlett had to hold back a laugh, this assessment would be easy, thetopic would be her sleeping problems.

    It had been a Friday night and it had started out like any other day. Scarlett had been waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up, and as usual he

    d been late.

    When he did turn up he had a stupid grin on his face and that meant he was up tosomething.

    It wasn

    t long be she found out why, they were going to leave school a little early that day so they could get set up.

    Party they did people had brought enough alcohol to last them a week. The partyhad started at three and just half an hour later the party was in full swing.

    That night Scarlett had consumed more alcohol that she ever had in her entire life, to this day she was still surprised she didn

    t get alcohol poisoning.

    The next day she have woken up in a bathtub with the hangover from hell, the last thing she had remembered was doing shots with Katherine.

    Scarlett had gone straight home and climbed into bed, but she couldn

    t sleep even though she felt wrecked.S

    0 carlett couldnt remember much from that night and neither could anyone else.S

    0 carlett had tried to eat breakfast but

    every time she took a mouthful it threaten to reappear again.

    34

    Scarlett had to stop writing Katie was staring at her. She was starting to get on Scarletts nerves. Do you need something? Katie continued staring and it was creeping Scarlett out I feel like weve met before.

    Is she nuts? Scarlett thought, I definitely would have remembered this freak,

    no I dont think so.

    Katie smiled thats strange I feel like I know you.

    Scarlett really wanted this girl to go back to go back to where ever the hell sh

    e came from well you dont so stop staring at me.

    For a moment Scarlett saw hurt in the girls eyes but it faded quickly.

    Katie turned away and Scarlett almost felt guilty for hurting the girls feelings.Scarlett couldnt bring herself to apologize. For some reason she didnt like Katie, she stirred up bad feelings inside her. Scarlett felt sick. She got up and bolted from the classroom.

    She made it to the bathroom just in a nick of time. The feeling had sprung out of nowhere, Scarlett didn

    t know what could have caused it. Once she had cleanedherself up she decided to just head home, she couldn

    t face going back to classand having to sit next to Katie.

    Scarlett really wasn

    t one to skip school but every so often she made an exception. On the way Scarlett paid another visit Mary

    s grave. Scarlett needed to seeit in daylight, maybe then it would make more sense. She also needed to figure out who Mary Stuart was.

    Staring at Mary

    s tombstone however didn

    t bring Scarlett any answers, she wasn

    t even sure what questions she had, or why she would have any at all.

    The once clear blue sky was turning grey and rain was fast approaching. Still Scarlett stood there staring at this grave,

    who is she?

    A voice asked from behind making Scarlett jump out of her skin. She turned around and for a moment didn

    t believe who she was seeing, it was Katie.

    Scarlett was furious,

    what are the hell are you doing here? She screamed.

    Katie looked a little frightened

    I followed you here, I wanted to make sure youwere okay.

    Scarlett couldn

    t believe her this girl was insane, either that orshe had a death wish.

    I

    m fine, now please leave

    Scarlett snapped.

    0

    Every time she was near Katie, Scarlett got this weird feeling inside her and she didn

    t like it, she didn

    t like it one bit. Scarlett began walking away from t

  • 8/3/2019 Twisted Horror Volume 1

    28/97

    he gravesite, and Katie without saying another word.

    She waited until she was out of Katie

    s sight before she broke into a run. She wanted to get as far away from Katie as possible. That girl made her very uncomfortable.

    When Scarlett got home she tried calling Katherine, she let the phone ring a ful

    l minute before giving up and hanging up.

    Scarlett thought about ringing her ex boyfriend, Daniel. He had always been there for her when they were together, but they hadn

    t parted on good terms.

    She gave him a black eye after she found out he

    d cheated on her.

    As Scarlett put down the phone she felt very lonely, no one could understand hersleeping order. Scarlett felt a little tired and she

    d had a weird day, even for her. She headed upstairs, threw off her boots and fell on the bed still fullyclothed.

    At first Scarlett struggled to even relax, she had too many thoughts running around her head. It was making her dizzy, her mind kept spinning faster and faster.

    The main thing on Scarlett

    s mind was Mary Stuart. Who was she? A why do I keepending up at her grave? It seemed stupid and probably useless but Scarlett decided to Google the girl, it might provide some useful information.

    Scarlett typed in the girl

    s name, birthday and date of death. Taking a deep breath she clicked search.

    The first result not only caught her eye, it sent chills through her entire body.

    The headline said:

    Two local girls brutally murdered,

    under the headline was the names of two girls, Mary Stuart and Sarah Reid.

    Scarlett clicked on the article for more information. Scarlett found out that these poor girls had been murdered in their ow 0

    n homes, the one place your

    meant to be safe, the killer had never been found.

    Scarlett decided bother reading more, it would only give her more questions thatwould haunt her for the rest of the night. There was a photo of the two 36

    girls together, they looked so happy with their arms around each other. They must have been close Scarlett thought.

    The photo filled Scarlett with a deep sadness. Scarlett couldn

    t imagine what itmust be like to have your life cut short like that. The only comforting thing was that they died together, at least they weren

    t alone. Now they

    ll be togetherforever she thought.

    Her thoughts were interrupted by the doorbell ringing. Scarlett planned to ignoring it, but the ringing continued. It seemed Scarlett had no choice but to answer it. When she opened the door Scarlett was close to outrage Katie was standing

    29/97

    on the other side.

    What the hell are you doing here, and how did you know whereI lived?

    I know many things

    Katie replied strangely.

    I have something to show you please come with me

    . Scarlett wanted to slap the crazy bitch right there and then,but she had a feeling even that wouldn

    t get rid of her.

    I wouldn

    t go anywherewith you, now fuck off.

    Scarlett slammed the door in Katie

    s face.

    She felt very angry. Scarlett had barely made in to the living room before she felt a sharp pain in her head and then she blacked out.

    It seemed like forever before Scarlett regained consciousness and when she cameround the first thing she was aware of was feeling cold, very cold. Then the pain in her head came back with a vengeance.

    Scarlett tried to get up but her hands and feet were bound together making it impossible. Scarlett tried to figure out where she was but all she could see was dark sky. Well, at least I know I

    m outside Scarlett thought.

    Oh good your awake

    . Scarletts blood went cold at the sound of her voice,

    Katie what do you want with me? Why am I here?

    Katie pulled Scarlett to her feet and turned her around. Scarlett came face to face with two grave stones, onewas Mary Stuart

    s and the other, which she hadn

    t noticed before was Sarah Reid

    s grave.

    Scarlett looked at Katie with confusion,

    I don

    t understand why would you showme this?

    Scarlett saw tears appear in Katie

    s eyes.

    How could you 0

    forget me Sarah? You promised you would never leave me, no matter what happened.

    You

    re crazy, I

    m not Sarah.

    My name is Scarlett and you know that.

    Scarlett suddenly gasped in horror.

    Katie was now covered in blood and had several stab wounds, more than Sc

    0 arlett could count.

    Her hair was matted with dried in blood, her eyes were sullen and her skin was deathly pale.

    You

    re dead

    Scarlett whispered. She couldnt understand what she was seeing.

    Ye

    0 s, and you should be too, its not fair that you get to have another life and I

    m left to wonder the earth alone without my best friend.

    Katie, or whoever thehell she was then produced a knife.

    Don

    t worry Sarah this will only hurt fora little while and then we

    ll be together again.

    HELP! HELP!

    Scarlett started screaming. Katie just laughed

    no one is going to hear you.

    Scarletts instincts were to run but she was still tied up, she could only watch helplessly as Katie came closer and closer. Katie stabbed Scarlett straight in th

    e stomach and then began slashing her arms and legs with deep cuts.

    Scarlett screamed even louder, more from pure terror than pain. She was in too m

    Once Bitten You

    re Dead Just before she killed herself Krista thought back to the first day she had meet Dylan and how she

    d always regret that day even after her death. If only she had decided not to go to that stupid party.

    It all started when she got this weird email, it had read:

    Hello Krista,

    You don

    t know me but I know you. I have recently moved here and it would

    make me very happy if you would agree to come to my house warming party this

    Friday. See you there.

    -D

    He had included his address, Krista was shocked to discover that she knew the place pretty well. It was this massive mansion that had been abandoned for years,it was less than a mile from her house.

    At first Krista had no intention of going, she wasn

    t the type of girl that justshowed up a stranger

    s house. She

    d had no idea who Dylan was but she planned t

    31/97

    o find out.

    Hello,

    Excuse me but who are you?

    - Krista

    Krista was stunned when she got an instant reply.

    0

    You

    ll find out on Friday

    -D

    If you don

    t tell me who you are I won

    t come

    - Krista

    He replied instantly.

    Yes, you Will

    -D

    Krista could believe the nerve of him, who did this guy think he was?

    However it turned out he would be right, she would turn up at the party. The daybefore the party Krista got something in the mail. Krista wasn

    t exactly pleased when she discovered what it was.

    An official invitation to the weird guy

    s party, along with it was a letter, itread:

    Its almost time

    -D

    Krista Sighed she didn

    t understand why this guy had to be so cryptic, was he not capable of giving a straight answer? Apparently not. Right there and then Krista decided to go to his house right down and demand to know who he was.

    She didn

    t have anything better to do anyway.

    Besides her dog Blake could do with a walk,

    Blake wanna go for a walk?

  • 8/3/2019 Twisted Horror Volume 1

    32/97

    Stupid question really the dog immediately began barking and wagging his tale inhappiness.

    40

    Blake walked slow and steady for most of the way but as they neared the mansionthe dog started barking and broke into a run. When she caught up with Blake he was barking furiously at the door.

    Blake be quiet. .

    0

    The dog stared at her and started whimpering. Krista knocked on the door and waited. She waited a moment longer, she still got no answer. She tried the door herself.

    She was surprised when it opened, whoever lived here didn

    t believe in locks.

    You coming in boy?

    The dog whined in response, Krista took that as a no.

    There wasn

    t much light in the house,

    hello is anyone home?

    Krista didn

    t geta response and from the looks of the house she hadn

    t be expecting one.

    This place is completely dead Krista though, how can there possibly be a party here tomorrow night? It was a little dirty with lots of dust.

    Krista entered what must have been the living room but there wasn

    t one piece offurniture in there, not even a rug. She could hear Bl 0

    ake barking

    loudly outside.

    She headed upstairs, maybe she

    d have better luck up there. When she got upstairs she got a shock, there were at least ten rooms. The hallway seemed like it would go on forever, as Krista opened each door she saw nothing but empty space, Krista was left disappointed.

    She

    d hope coming here would provide her with answers, but it only gave her morequestions.

    This guy was really getting on her nerves and she still didn

    t know who he was.Yet he seemed to know her, but how? I will be here tomorrow night she thought.

    Curiosity had finally got the better of her. There was nothing left to see heretonight so Krista would head home and look through her closet to find somethingto wear to this party.

    When she got outside Blake looked very happy to see her and very eager to go 0

    home.

    Later that night Krista checked her email and wasn

    t totally surprised to see she had a new email from her strange friend.

    0 When she read it her heart

    stopped beating for a moment.

    Dear Krista,

    Its not very nice to enter a person

    s home uninvited, don

    t do it again. You will

    regret it.

    -D

    Oh my God he was spying on me, how did he know I was even there. I checked the whole place there was no one in there but me, wasn

    t there? She decided to ask him.

    How did you know I was there?

    - Krista

    He instantly replied to her message again and she found it a little creepy. He didn

    t answer her question, just like he never answered the others.

    See you tomorrow

    r that night Krista was lying in bed thinking about the upcoming party, for which she was half excited and the other half of her was frighten, but she didn

    t know why.

    42

    Krista was surprised at herself, usually when there was a party the first thingshe did was go out and buy a new dress but right now shopping was the last thingon her mind. She still wasn

    t sure if she was even going or not. Besides she had a nice little red dress that would do just fine.

    Krista wondered who would be attending the party anyway, none of her friends seemed to know who he was so they can

    t have invited. Will I know a single person there? Krista thought. That was her last thought before she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

    The next morning things didn

    t seemed any clearer. She emailed her stranger asking him if she could bring some of her friends with her to the party. She was stunned by his reply.

    No, do so and I

    ll be very angry.

    -D

    He really needs to chill Krista thought. Even though she really didnt want to goto the party she would go anyway just to give this guy a piece of her mind, he needed to be put in his place.

    Did he really think her friends were trashy party animals? S

    0 he knew she

    should have asked her friends for advice but she knew they would try to talk herout of it, and with reason.

    The day had just begun but she too nervous to eat anything, she didn

    t what to expect from the party or what to expect from him. Krista wasn

    t a big fan of theunknown, she liked to know so she could plan, some might say she was a bit of acontrol freak.

    Krista knew she had been warned once already but couldn

    t help herself, she would go back to the house to see if she could spot anyone coming in or out.

    This time she wasn

    t taking Blake with her, the lovable but silly dog wouldn

    t be useful anyway. Krista was feeling confident as she walked, she would beat thisguy at his own game.

  • 8/3/2019 Twisted Horror Volume 1

    35/97

    When she arrived she sneaked into the bushes so she wouldn

    t be spotted and nowall she had to do was wait, she didn

    t plan to stay more than an hour at the most.

    Krista checked her mobile, the party was only a few hours away

    0 If he wants

    to throw a decent party by tonight he should be getting it ready now

    Krista muttered to herself. After half an hour of waiting and getting nothing Krista was close to becoming bored to death.

    She hadn

    t had a single sign that were was life in that house let alone if anyone would coming out. Nobody else had come anywhere near the place let alone knocked on the bloody door.

    Krista was really annoyed, especially with herself for thinking this was a goodidea. Krista decided to just give up, it was useless she would just have waited

    until tonight.

    As she walked home a girl walked passed Krista, if she had been paying attentionKrista would have seen the girl enter the house. That girl would never come outagain.

    When Krista back she checked her email and breathed a sigh of relief when she found her inbox empty. He hadn

    t spotted her, Krista wondered if he even been in the house while she was there stalking him.

    Finally 9:00pm was almost here. Krista checked her reflection one last time to make sure she looked perfect, she might not know anyone or like the party host but that didn

    t mean she shouldn

    t make a good impression. The further she got to

    the house the tighter her stomach got.

    When the mansion was in sight she actually thought she would throw up, she rubbed her stomach to calm her nerves.

    She wasn

    t sure whether to knock on the door or just walk right in, she listenedcarefully she couldn

    t hear any music playing. Someone suddenly opened the door.

    Krista was a little stunned, before her was a seriously insane gorgeous man, helooked like an angel and devil at the same time. He smiled at her

    glad you 44

    made it Krista.

    Dylan

    she whispered. He laughed

    the one and only, please come in.

    When Krista stepped inside her mouth fell open in amazement. The empty mansion had been completely transformed it wasn

    t just full of people but furniture as well. Krista couldn

    t believe it, she looked around but didn

    t recognize one single person. Dylan laughed

    the look on your face is priceless, bet you

    re wondering how I did it.

    Krista nodded,

    well too bad because I

    m not going to tell you.

    Krista didn

    t know how to respond to that, she didn

    t know how to respond to this whole situation.

  • 8/3/2019 Twisted Horror Volume 1

    36/97

    Are you finally going to tell me who you are and why you invited me here?

    Before he answered Krista saw something in his eyes but she wasn

    t sure what

    I

    ve just moved here, I

    ve seen you around and wanted to get to know you better.

    Well, if you

    ve seen me how come I

    ve never seen you?

    You weren

    t looking hard enough.

    Music started playing, Krista didn

    t recognize any of that either, this whole place was strange Krista felt like she

    d entered a different world.

    oh I almost forgot, stop sneaking around my house and hiding in the bushes, if it happens again I won

    t be nice about it.

    Krista felt the blood drain from her face, how thehell did he spot her. Krista looked at Dylan, he looked angry. His warm eyes had turned cold.

    I

    m sorry, I would do it again.

    Just like that Dylan

    s anger disappeared

    good.

    Krista had seen enough

    I think I

    m going home now, thanks for the invite.

    As K

    rista turned to leave Dylan grabbed her arm his grip was strong,

    stay

    he ordered.

    The tone in his voice scared her but she refused to show him any fear. They werein a house full of people he wouldn

    t hurt her.

    why should I?

    Krista hoped her voice sounded strong and angry.

    Well, you

    ve seen the house at its worst why not see it as its best?

    Krista didn

    t even consider this, there was no way she would leave the safe crowd of people.

    No thanks, maybe later.

    0

    She thought her response would make Dylan angry again but he stayed calm,

    suit yourself.

    Someone came up to Dylan and Whispered something in his ear.

    Krista will you excuse me something has come up c

    0 ome up, feel free to make yourself at

    home.

    When he turned his back to her Krista smiled, this was perfect she wouldask a few people for information about Dylan and then leave. Krista walked through the crowds trying to find a friendly face, it wasn

    t going to be easy everyone seemed to know each other.

    Krista spotted a small dark haired girl sitting alone in the corner as Krista approached her the girl looked up and gave Krista a small smile.

    Mind if I talk to you?

    Krista asked

    guess so.

    The girl didn

    t seem to happy about it. Krista cut straight to the chase

    so howwell do you do know Dylan?

    An expression came over the girl

    s face, fear mixedwith something else,

    you shouldn

    t be asking questions about him.

    Its dangerous

    . With that the girl walked away leaving Krista standing there stunned. She

    d had enough she was leaving right now.

  • 8/3/2019 Twisted Horror Volume 1

    37/97

    When she stepped outside she couldn

    t believe how cold the night air had becomein less than an hour, if Krista didn

    t run home she

    d freeze. Krista hated beingout at night by herself it made her feel unsafe. Krista didn

    t like the shadows. The whole way home Krista had a creepy feeling that she was being watched.

    When she walked through her door she expected Blake to come running but Krista h

    eard nothing, he was probably asleep. Krista was fed up, despite the night stillbeing young she was heading up to bed. After a crazy night tomorrow would be abetter day.

    When She woke up the next morning she didn

    t feel better, she felt worse.

    Krista felt like she had a hangover. I must be coming down with flu, after hanging out with Dylan the creep she wasn

    t surprised she

    d caught something.

    46

    Her head was pounding and her neck hurt. Krista decide right there and then thatshe would have nothing more to do with Dylan, She wouldn

    t respond to any moreof his weird emails or go anywhere near his creepy house.

    Krista liked guys with a little mystery about them but Dylan was far too much.

    After finishing her coffee and three pieces of toast Krista was feeling a littlebetter. She planned to get dressed and take Blake for a walk,

    Blakey wanna gowalks?

    Krista got no response

    Blake want to go for a walk?!

    she shouted, again therewas no answer.

    Blake where are you? Krista checked upstairs maybe Blake had sneaked upstairs to lie on her parents bed, he knew he wasn

    t allowed up there butsometimes went anyway.

    Krista found their room completely empty. Checking her room she also came up empty. Krista wasn

    t worried, Blake often went wandering on his own but he soon came back when he was hungry. Krista was disappoint she

    d been hoping to go for a walk with her furry friend.

    She didn

    t want to go out without Blake incase she ran into Dylan, she didn

    t feel brave enough to face him yet.

    It was Saturday morning usually by now she

    d be walking Blake before heading outshopping with her friends, but this Saturday she didn

    t feel like shopping.

    She wanted nothing more than to sit her butt in front of the TV and pig out, despite still feeling like she had the flu she was starving. Several cheese and pickle sandwiches sounded like heaven.

    Krista didn

    t care what she watched as long as it made her laugh, switching offher phone she settled for a quiet afte 0

    rnoon.

  • 8/3/2019 Twisted Horror Volume 1

    38/97

    An hour later Krista had almost devoured all the food in the fridge, she was still hungry but forced herself not to consume any more food. Usually Krista didn

    teat much but today she couldn

    t seem to stop. Blake still hadn

    t 0

    returned she decided to go out and look for him, she should probably walk off all the food she had eaten anyway.

    As Krista walked she noticed how simple everything seemed in daylight, even herDylan situation. Krista walked the same routine she usually did with Blake, thedog must be around somewhere. She went through their route twice, still no sign.Krista gave up obviously the silly mutt wasn

    t ready to be found. She

    d give him until tonight then she

    d start asking around. For now Krista needed to get outof the sun, the light was hurting her eyes and she was beginning to feel light

    headed. When Krista got in her head was spinning so badly she went straight up stairs to bed.

    The girl kept running she couldn

    t afford not to, she didn

    t want to die, she didn

    t

    him to kill her. The poor girl was too busy looking behind her when she should

    have been looking where she was going. By the time she saw him it was too late,

    there was no escape. She never even had a chance to scream.

    As she slept Krista was tormented by demons, they ripped her flesh and drank her

    blood hungrily as it came rushing out. Every time she tried to run they blockedher path. She ran up the stairs, straight into Dylan. For a moment she was relieved to see him, until he smiled revealing sharp fangs. He tore at her throat and drained every drop of blood from her body.

    When Krista awoke her hand went straight to her neck, there was there except smooth skin. It was just a dream. Krista checked the time - 2.30, it was far too early to change into her nightclothes. Krista didn

    t know what to do for the restof the day, she didn

    t have much energy despite her nap, she felt like the lifehad been drained out of her.

    She needed coffee, badly.

    She was going to head straight to the kitchen until something in the living madeher stop. Dylan was sitting on her sofa, Krista was furious he was taking his creepiness too far and he couldn

    t just show up and break into her house wheneverhe liked. Krista waited for him to start explaining himself.

    48

    He didn

    t say a word, he just walked towards her with a strange look in his eyes

    ,

    Dylan what are you.
