Prologue

The sound of running feet almost seems to echo in the dark night. The three teens have been running since their friend has been caught and probably killed by the thing that has been following them. The only thing that is helping them find their way are their flash lights. The three teens are made of one girl and two boys, the girls is only holding a folder inside a plastic bag, the two boys are holding guns to protect themselves. One of the boys is holding a shotgun and the other is holding a pistol, they're both on the girl's sides watching. They maneuver through the trees trying to make is to the abandoned warehouse in the middle of the woods.

"Are we almost there?" asks the girl not bothering to hide her fear

"Almost" says the boy on her right

"You got all the pieces?" asks the boy on her lest

"Yeah, I got all of them" says the girl

As they continue their run the rain starts to pick up. The winds blow against them and howl above their heads. The rain becomes colder and heaver. They finally break through an opening and in the is the middle abandoned warehouse of the clearing. The warehouse used to be filled with workers during the Second World War. It was surrounded by other building of the old town that once existed. Now the town is now in ruins. After a few moments the small group sees a shadow about twenty feet to their right in the tree line. They turn and see a white spot. They freeze at the sight of the figure looking back at them.

"Move you idiots!" shouts the boy with the pistol

They sprint to the warehouse and get inside, the inside of the warehouse is filled with old machines and some parts of the ceiling are caved in. Some machines are tipped over, burned or part all over the floor.

"We have to find the spot they burned him, right?" asked the girl

"Yeah, so let's go" said the boy with the pistol

"You guys find the spot. I'll keep that ting busy and buy you guys sometime" said the other

"Are you insane?!" asked the pistol boy

"If you guys can make it then no one else has to live through this hell ever again" he said back

They both stood there staring at each other until they pulled each other into a tight hug and release after a minute. "You better not die, alright?" he said rubbing away tears starting to form

"You got it" He said

"You better make it, alright? Or ill never forgive you" said the girl as he hug shot gun boy

They released each other and the girl and pistol boy started to run the other direction through the machines and fallen pipes. They glance one last time at their friend as they leave him to hold back the thing that is following them. The warehouse is one of the oldest and biggest building in the area. It's a two story house but since it's old it's falling apart. They enter some old hallways as they make their way to the center of the building, the place that could stop the thing. Going through the hall is like going through a giant maze, the couple keep ending up in dead ends and have to go back.

"I think it's this way" says the girl as she turns left pulling the boy with her

"I don't think it's here…" says the boy as until he looks in the huge room

"Its here, look, the large ditch on the floor" she point at what looks like a dent on the floor

Right then they hear a gun go off. Screams follow it as more shots echo through the walls. Their bodies go cold with fear and fright as they recognize the voice, it belongs to their friend that they left. He yells their names but can't do anything to help him; they have to do the ritual to end it. The screams end and silents follows for what seem like hours, until they hear faint footsteps, each one louder than the last. The boy pulls the girl through the rows of machines head for the ditch. The girl puts her hands to her ears as a loud screeching sound bounces off the walls, the boy knows what's making the noise.

He pulls her hands away as makes her look at him," Look, I need you to do the ritual, ok?"

"What, what are you talking about?"

"I'm going to try and kill that thing; I need you to do the ritual and save yourself, alright?" He shots her a weak smile

"No, you can't, please!" Tears start to flow from her eyes to her cheeks

"It's going to be ok, I promise" He cups her cheek his hand and darts way from where they entered.

She quickly rips off the bag and takes the folder out. If she can do the ritual quick enough maybe she can save the boy. She takes out eight pieces of paper that have writing and weird pictures on them. She puts them in a circle connecting them by the two top edges. In the middle she places a black powder and the outer she makes two outer circles with a white powder and signs with chalk in the middle. She throws the bag that contained the items and then takes and matches from her pocket. She was about to light the black powder until gun shots echoed. Screams followed after four fires and then more gun shots. The girl is paralyzed by fear and can't move. She was her eyes at the door as a black figure is staggering towards her.

The girl calls the boys name ready to throw her arms around him until he drops to the floor. She gets up until her stops her.

"Finish it, hurry its coming" he yells

The girl doesn't move, she just wants to be with him until the end but can't decide what to do. When she does make up her mind she's about to continue until the boy yells in pain, she turns as sees the thing is behind the boy. Its tentacles are through the boys all over his body.

"NO!" She yells. The thing flings the boy's body to a wall and slides to the floor. It then slowly turns its faceless head towards her almost looking into her soul without having eyes. She runs to the boy's body and trying to comfort him. She gently places him head on her lap. The thing is making its way towards the couple; he stops and looks at the circles the girl made. With one swipe of its tentacles, the thing destroys the circle.

"I'm sorry" says the girl tears flow from her eyes again and drop on the boys face

"Don't be, I'm the one that should be sorry" he softly chuckles

"So I guess this is it, huh?" she sniffs knowing it is the end

"I guess it is," He says "But I wouldn't want it any different…except our situation" he says making the girl smile

They lock hands and stare at each other trying to ignore that their deaths are near. The boy's grip starts to slip but tries to fight it. She girl reaches down and presses her lips to the boys, when she pulls back he has a small smile on his lips. The boy slips and the girl knows he's gone by the glaze look in his eyes. The girl closes his eyes and feels a presence in front of her. She lifts here head until she's face-to-face with the things. Its body bent forward so their faces are inches away. She sees its tentacles ready to strike her body ending her life and taking her away to never to be seen again. She tries to hide her fear but loses control, she screams as the tentacles shot forward.

The scream echoes through the warehouse ending after a few seconds. The rain stopped and the woods winds have stopped howling. Only the sound of footsteps and something dragging are present.
