Chapter 1: In the Dead of Night

Cough... Cough

I could see my breath through the winter snow storm on a cold December evening. I trudged through the now piling layers of snow as the sky grew darker and darker. As I walked I saw no one who would dare to go out in this snowstorm. I barely made it inside and quickly slammed the door behind me, but it was no use a big gush of wind put a pile of snow now in my apartment complex's foyer. "Argh!" I thought as I brush the snow off my red jacket. My face was red and my thick wet brown hair was on my face in a complete mess. I breathed a sigh of relief as I felt the heat going in the building which was a warm welcome. As I was trying to get the snow in a little pile away from the entry door, I heard a quiet opening of a door across from where I was.

An old man maybe in his 70's or early 80's smiled and said," It must be cold out."

I replied, " yes, it is, about 20 degrees Fahrenheit last time I checked."

As I laid on the couch about ready to close my eyes, I hear a loud bang that came from the floors below.

Then following the bang I heard a scream...

I sprang to my feet as my heart was racing hoping it was nothing, but I had this feeling in my chest that something was wrong. Then headed downstairs, to my horror to see two bodies one of a man and one of woman on the ground barely clinging to life with the old man in a dark black cloak look at me with the bloody knife in his hand and say, " this was not my doing." His hair was long and wildly as he went my way, and passed me as he went out the door. He looked at me one last time and a tear came down from his face as he walked into the dark night.

Then I awoke in...
