Hey everyone. The sequel to HalloNatutal has finally arrived. First chapter is up and ready to read. :)


"Time for bed soldier."

"But I don't wanna go to bed."

"Sorry Max but I can't let you stay up. If I do your mommy will kill me."

"But Nora. Mommy will not know. She is not here."

"Oh trust me Max she will find out. Moms always find out." Nora puts the covers over him. "If I get in trouble, your mommy will not let me baby sit again. We don't want that, do we?" Max shakes his head. Nora nods. "Good. Now night, night."

Nora goes to the door.

"Wait " The boy yells.

Nora turns.

"What?"

"Can you check my room please."

"Uh...why?"

"Bogeyman."

The teenager laughs. "Bogeyman. Oh Max there is no such thing as a bogeyman."

"Yeah there is."

"Who told you that? Hmm...your friends?" Fear remained on the boy's face. Nora sighs. "Will it make you feel better if I check?"

"Yes."

"Alright." Nora looks under the bed. "Nothing here." She goes to the closet and opens it. "Nope."

"He could be hiding behind the clothes."

"Max."

"Please."

The teenager searches through the clothing. Again there is nothing.

"See. No bogeyman."

"Can you leave the door open?" Max asks.

Nora steps out of the room and closes the door slightly leaving a gap.

"This okay?"

"Yes."

"Alright. Now good night."

"Night Nora."

Nora smiles at the child. She then walks downstairs as quietly as possible not wanting to disturb the boy. She gets out her phone and texts.

Kid is in bed.

She presses send and waits.

Seconds later the door knocks. Nora answers it. At the door is a man similar age to her with blonde hair and a piercing on his eyebrow. In his hand is a pack of beer and his phone.

The man frowned.

"You took your time."

"Sorry. Had to check his room."

Nora let's him in and closes the door.

"For what?" He asked.

"The bogeyman."

The man snorted.

"The bogeyman."

"Uh huh."

"Ah man. Kids still believe in that crap."

"Hmm."

The man shakes his head.

"Oh wow just wow."

"Hey um...how did you manage to get the beer?"

"Oh this. Stole it from my dad's secret stash."

"Secret stash?"

"Yeb. Has his own little fridge down in the basement. Went and got it while he was out at work."

Nora raises her eyebrow.

"Bones."

"Relax. He will probably think he drank it. My old man can't remember what he does from one day to the next. Now..." He places the six-pack down and grins "What shall we do first?"

The two teenagers grin at each both having the same thought. Bones was the first to make a move. He kisses the young woman and wraps his arms round her. Nora responses and pulls him in close.

They take it to the sofa and continue kissing passionately. Bones trails his fingers down Nora's shirt going straight for the jeans. He was about to put his hand in when suddenly a loud bang makes the couple jump.

"What was that?" Nora asks.

"Eh it was probably nothing."

"It came from upstairs."

"I don't know it was probably the kid."

"I should go and check."

"No. No stay. I'm sure it's fine."

Nora pushes him away and gets off the sofa.

"I just gotta make sure."

"Just shout up to him. Here allow me." Bones stands at the end of the stairs. "HEY KID YOU ALRIGHT UP THERE."

"Shh" Nora pulls her boyfriend by the arm and glares at him. "He could be asleep."

"If he slept through that noise then damm he must be a heavy sleeper."

"Just wait here. I'll be right back."

Nora walks up the stairs.

"Alright. I'll just wait right here. Don't take too long. I get impatient when I'm horny."

Bones decides to go in the kitchen to get himself a snack. He opens the fridge and sticks his head in.

"Twinkies. Now we're talking." He gets one out and opens it. "Haven't had one of these babies for a long time." He bites it and swallows. He let out an ah. "Just like how I remember it."

Bones closes the door and turns round.

Standing in front of him was a figure. A tall figure. On its face was a mask. The intruder raises his knife. Bones's eyes widen when he sees his reflection on the knife.

"Holy shit."

The intruder stabs Bones in the head. The knife going through his head into the wall. Blood pours down the young man's head.

The teenager's mouth drops open and his body limps. The masked figure removes the knife causing the body to fall on to the ground.

The killer eyes the stairs. He then takes his first step

Nora peers in the bedroom.

"Max?"

She sees the bed is empty.

"Max?"

Nora walks in.

"Down here." A voice whispers coming from under the bed.

Nora goes down on her knees and raises the cover.

"Max. What you doing?"

"Hiding." The boy whispers.

"From who?"

"The bogeyman."

The teenager sighs.

"Max."

" I saw it. I saw the bogeyman. I swear. "

"It was probably a nightmare."

"No it wasn't. I saw it. It's real. It came out of the closet. "

"Did it do anything to you?" Nora asks not looking interested.

"I hid under my bed. It didn't find me. "

"Oh well that's great."

"It's in the house." Max looks at his babysitter looking terrified. "The bogeyman is coming for us all."

"Look Max just stop okay." Nora snaps. "For the last time, there us no such thing as the..."

Suddenly the teenager gets dragged across the floor.

"BONES." Nora yells assuming it was him messing around.

She gets dragged out into the hallway. Nora looks up. Looking down at her the masked killer raises his knife.

Nora's eyes widen. This isn't a prank. This is real.

"BONES!" The teenager cries out. She looks into the bedroom. "MAX!"

Max remained under the bed. Frozen with fear .

The intruder pins the young woman down.

"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" She screams.

No help or response came.

Nora opens her mouth to scream again but suddenly the knife slashes across her neck causing blood to splatter everywhere. The intruder stabs the woman again and again until she couldn't take another breath.

Nora turns to the side blood pouring out of her like a waterfall.

Then her heart stopped.

"NORA." Max cries out.

The intruder goes back up and looks in the kid's direction.

Max covers his mouth realizing what he has done. The intruder stood staring at the boy for a few seconds doing nothing.

Then he turns and walks downstairs letting the boy live.

Max comes out of his hiding spot after hearing the door shut. He runs over to Nora.

"Nora. Nora wake up."

Deep down the boy knew she was gone. Max sobs his tears falling on to the woman's blood stained shirt.

He had a thought.

Police

The boy grabs the phone and dials the emergency number.

"911 what's your emergency."

"My babysitter, she's dead. She was killed by the bogeyman."

The kid trembles. The phone shaking in his hand.

"There is gonna be more. More are gonna die. The bogeyman is coming for us all."
