I woke up from bed to the sound of Toby barking. I looked around to see everything okay. I guess it was all a dream.

Walking out of the room, I head to kitchen for breakfast. Dad and mom were watching the news. Dad was holding mom, she was terrified on what she is watching.

"There has been a murder here sleeping hollow, cameras show a place man with black hair entering a home and exiting 30 minutes later all bloody.

"What's happening?".

"They say that fella has killed a family and kidnapped a teenage girl, it happened last night".

He looks very familiar, wait a minute! I ran towards my room and called Thomas.

"Bro, I need your help".

"What?".

"Some dude just killed this family and kidnapped a girl".

"Why are you telling me this then?".

"Does Jeffrey Woods sound familiar?".

Thomas went silent for a couple seconds before the sound of clicking on a keyboard. He then turned on his webcam, showing a face of pure terror. His face was pale and and all the color was practically drained from him.

"Jeffrey Woods....What did he look like!?".

"He had black hair, no eyelids, and a carved smile".

"One more question, how did know his name?".

"He tried to kill me, but as always, I have to show that you don't mess with the bull".

Thomas then clicked with his mouse, and my inbox ringed. He had sent me something.

"I'll read it with you bro".

Both of us began reading through the article, saying that a boy lived in this town. He was bleached and set on fire, he then killed his family and escaped into the forest.

"Look man, you better watch yourself tonight. Get Toby to sleep with you".

"No, I can defend myself dude, remember...The Bull...".

"I know you're one of the strongest people I know, but these guys are like supernatural and stuff".

"I'll be fine, mess with the bull, get the horns".

"Just be careful homie, you don't know what they can do".

Thomas left the chat, I decided to continue investigating on Jeffrey Woods.

Hollow Woods
10:30 PM

B

oth Mom and Dad will be at their date night. They won't be back till 2:00 in the morning. Probably having sex on the beach or a night on the town. That leaves me to investigate the story of Jeffrey Woods.

I took my great grandfather's old service revolver and trench knife. I could've used my dad's old faithful, but I didn't dare touch any of his old military equipment. He would be livid if he found out.

This gun never failed my great grandfather in the war, he gave it to my grandfather as a hand me down. Now he gave it to my dad, and soon in a few years...Me.

I entered the forest, the sounds of crows and buzzards are heard. The wind stabbed my cheeks, the only thing keeping me warm is my windbreaker and joggers. I scrolled through my phone, reading the story of Jeffrey Woods.

It then ringed, Thomas wanted to talk.
"Dude, don't tell me your doing what I think your doing".

"Yes....".

"You must have a death wish or something!".

A

twig snapped behind me, I turned around and pulled out the service revolver. I placed the phone in my pocket.

"Who's there!".

A girl's laughter is heard, it got closer and closer. Finally a branch fell down, startling me.

"What tha...".

A knife flew near my face, leaving a small cut on my cheek. A girl in jumped from the trees and pounced towards me. She was so fast, I could barely keep up with her.

"Hello my prince 😈!".

She then tackled me to the ground and pulled out a second knife and raised it.

"Go to sleep my prince 😈!".
