Chapter 1: First Victim
The night began as Lifty & Shifty were both settling down after a night of breaking-and-entering to a movie on the TV.
Everyone at Happy Tree Town knew it was getting close to Halloween and that they must have some fun before that day.
But no-one could expect the possibilities of so many bad people in this world.
Nor could they have expected the following: Fear, Horror and possibly Manslaughter.
The two were focused on the film in their TVs when a soft, foreboding voice sung.
"Meurent mon chéri
Meurent mon chéri
Pouvez vous se reposer dans la paix"
"Meurent mon chéri
Meurent mon chéri
Mai votre coeur commencent à cesser"
Lifty And Shifty looked around.
No response.
They took it as nothing.
Yet after a pause, the voice continued.
"Meurent mon chéri
Meurent mon chéri
Laissez votre sang briller sous la lune"
"Meurent mon chéri
Meurent mon chéri
Espérez-vous jamais éveillé bientôt"
It was then they got nervous.
"Who's there?" shifty asked.
The voice responded.
"Meurent mon chéri
Meurent mon chéri
Pouvez vous se reposer dans la paix"
"Meurent mon chéri
Meurent mon chéri
Mai votre coeur commencent à cesser"
Without any pause, it continued to recite the whole song.
"Meurent mon chéri
Meurent mon chéri
Laissez votre sang briller sous la lune"
"Meurent mon chéri
Meurent mon chéri
Espérez-vous jamais éveillé bientôt"
The noise sounded like it was coming from outside.
"Alright, there is defiantly someone out there. Shifty, you want to check it out?" asked Lifty.
"Only if you go out there." Shifty replied.
Lifty got up, grabbed a near-by torch and said "Fine, I'll go. I'll be right back."
Lifty went through the back door into the long stretching garden.
Shifty stayed inside, sweating like hell.
10 minutes later, Shifty was still in the living room and Lifty hadn't returned.
Was he still looking for the source of the sound he and his brother heard?
He then took up some courage to get off the couch and go out the back where Lifty disappeared to.
There was no moon that night.
There were no streetlights because they didn't live near any roads.
In fact, there was no light source to be found.
Eventually, Shifty found a small source of light.
When he went to investigate, it was the same torch Lifty picked up before he went out.
He picked it up and noticed a thin trail of blood going out of the back gate into small woodland.
He followed the trail into the woods.
Shifty then started to notice something in-between the trees where the blood trail ended.
Some kind of figure.
Something, hanging.
He went up to it and almost screamed in horror.
There was Lifty, bleeding at the head, hanging by his neck, on a noose made of vine.
The foreboding song was heard again.
"Meurent mon chéri
Meurent mon chéri
Pouvez vous se reposer dans la paix"
"Meurent mon chéri
Meurent mon chéri
Mai votre coeur commencent à cesser"
"Meurent mon chéri
Meurent mon chéri
Laissez votre sang briller sous la lune"
"Meurent mon chéri
Meurent mon chéri
Espérez-vous jamais éveillé bientôt"
In a panic, Shifty took off down the path he came.
He raced through the back gate, locked it, ran back inside and locked the door.
Breathing heavily, he walked into the kitchen, picked up a near-by phone and dialled a number.
"Hello? Is this the emergency services?"
There was a pause.
"I need the police. Somebody just murdered my brother and I'm pretty sure it's coming for me next!"
Pause.
"Address? Um, 24 Oak Way. Happy Tree Town."
Shifty didn't know this but as he spoke the address, a figure wearing a long black robe and a Grim Reaper mask came in through an open window, picked up a knife and walked towards Shifty.
"Please hurry! I'm not sure how long I can-."
He turned around as he said this.
He then came face to face with a skull mask.
He then screamed before the figure ledged the knife into his stomach.
He immediately stopped, looked at the knife and dropped the phone on the ground.
The figure pulled the knife back and left the same way he came in as Shifty slumped over the draining board.
His blood flowing into the sink and down the drain.
On the phone, the operator was still talking.
"Hello? What happened? Is anyone there? If you can hear me, answer me!"
