The Raven, The Redskin, The Park
1983 Police department...
Radio: Atlantic Island Park, former theme park or a parents nightmare. Since It's opening the par has been mostly known for deaths and tragedies than fun and games. Even after it's closing, the park still has tragedies happening. With the latest disappearance of Callum Mallared and his mother's, Lorraine, recent mental breakdown, the police force has been hard at work to find the missing boy. Unfortunately, the force has hit a dead end into the mystery of the park. More details on the investigation at-
Radio tuned of by the Police Chief
Police Chief: I called you two here due to your experience and your skills for a task like this. As you know, multiple children have vanish inside the abandon Atlantic Island Park, recently a boy by the name of Callum. His mother said she had lost him, however due to the nature of this park, I suspect something much more sinister. Worst she has broken in multiple times to search for him, always ending leaving on of the rides in the end. Our force has been investigating and we have reached a dead end. Whoever is doing this wants nothing to do with us...*Turns to them* That's where you come in.
Sitting across from him are Scavenger and Chief, looks of seriousness and calmness on their faces.
Police Chief: We believe you two are qualified for the task of finding clues and evidence of these disappearance and Ms. Lorraine behavior. As of now, she must be heading there right now. So it would be best to try and beat her to the park to investigate.
Scavenger: We will do what we can sir to find out what's going on there and find out what happened to Callum.
Police Chief: You two are lifesavers, you can barrow one of our cars to get there...but be careful, there is not telling what goes on there at night.
Chief: Of course...we're head there right now.
The two Rusherz got off the Chairs, Scavenger grabbing his bag, and headed towards the door to find a vehicle and drive to the location.
Police Chief: *Worried* DON'T DRIVE MY CAR, IT'S A NICE- *Second guess* well...ummm
Chief: Didn't that car engine died last week.
Scavenger: Of course we might be doing you a favor by driving that.
Police Chief: Good point. Be careful.
They nodded and walked out.
Atlantic Island Park, Sunset...
A old car parked in the lot, as Scavenger and Chief got out, noticing the other car and then turning to the Park entrance and started walking.
Scavenger: *Looking around* Very dirty park.
Chief: Well, it has been abandon for a year
Scavenger: Why'd ya think the cops needed Rusherz for this.
Chief: Maybe they thought we could find something they couldn't.
Scavenger: Probably *Looks at the plaque* 1977, wasn't even here that long...*Looks back at Chief* Ya remember when they closed this place down.
Chief: Yeah, this place had a lot of accidents, deaths, and the vibe here is just..*Shiver, tugs at scarf* haunting. It feels like someone is watching us.
Scavenger: Still, we got a job to do, nothing that a raven and a champ can't handle.
Chief blushed, pushed down his hand band a bit and looked a a watch he was wearing. Instead of a ring, the team gave him a very special watch for his dedication to the team.
Chief: Your right, let's head in.
The two passed the gate and walked towards the escalator leading into the park. Getting on, Chief mused.
Chief: There's always something about amusement parks that makes me smile. The sites, the sounds, the smell, and the feeling in the air. The line between reality and fantasy...
Scavenger: Yeah, something that this place-*Earthquake starts*LLLLAAAAACCCCKKKSS!
Scavenger hugged Chief in a protected manor, both eyes closed.
The two opened there eyes, noticing they are at the top and dark out.
Chief: What just happened?
Scavenger: The sun went down and it became nighttime... but as for the earthquake-
Boy voice: *Laughing* You can't catch me!
Both froze.
Scavenger: I-IS THERE A KID HERE?
Chief: Why would a kid be here-
Women voice: Callium! Stay where you are!
Chief and Scavenger: *Double Take* CALLLUM!?
Scavenger and Chief started running, getting closer and closer to the child's sound. They were making great process until Chief tripped and fell to the ground.
Scavenger: *helps Chief up* You okay?
Chief: Y-Yeah, at least I didn't hit that ferret statue.
Scavenger: *Looks at the Saute* That's a chipmunk...'CHAD THE CHIPMUNK'*reads it* who was apparently disliked.
Chief: *Also reads* Yeesh...dark.
Unknown voice: *Monstrous noises*
Both of them went pale.
Chief and Scavenger: Nope!
They walked away from the statue towards a boat ride when Chief noticed something on one of the swan boats heading out.
Chief: H-HEY! CALLUM IS THAT YOU?!
They run over.
Scavenger: *Stern* GET OFF THAT SWAN BOAT YOU- GROANS- OHHH, I swear when we catch you, its gonna be five hours of sitting on a chair!
Scavenger runs down the stairs fallowing by Chief.
Women's voice: *echos* CALLUM WHERE DID YOU GO?
This quicken their pace as they jumped onto a swan boat and the ride started.
Chief: Sheesh, this is nuts.
Scavenger: I know, why would a kid go on a love boat?
Chief: Nono, why is he here in the first place, how did he get in and why didn't he leave.
The two sat in silence till they reached the cave entrance, a chilled wind blowed as a light with a shadow scene on came to life.
Narrator: Near a great forest there lived a poor wood cutter, his wife and his two children
a boy named Hansel and a girl named Gretel
they were very poor and had very little to bite or sup.
Scavenger: *Confused* Hansel and Gretel?
Chief: *Confused* Why is this story playing...-sighs- oh well, at least the music is nice.
Narrator: `what will become of us?` the wood cutter asked his wife one night
`I tell you what husband. we will take the children into the thickest part of the forest tomorrow and abandon them there`
`no my wife, I cannot do that` said the man
`then we will all starve, you fool.`
Chief: I've always hated the mothers in these types of stories, their just so cruel.
Scavenger: Amen to that.
Narrator: Hansel and Gretel overheard their parents talking and gretel began to weep
`do not fret Gretel` Hansel said.
he crept out of the hut and gathered white stones from the ground to fill his pockets
Scavenger: Smart boy. Smart boy.
Narrator: the next morning, the wood cutter leads the children in to the forest
before they leave their mother gives them a slice of bread
and warns them that they will get no more food that day
clever Hansel leaves a trail of white stones behind them
as they pass in to the woods
when their father leaves them, the children wait a while
then follow the trail back to their parents house
Chief: Have you every wonder if either of the kids are older sibling to the other or twins?
Scavenger: Yes, multiple times to be honest.
Narrator: after receiving a through scolding from their parents for getting lost in the woods
the children are sent to bed without any supper
Hansel tried to sneak out and collect more white stones but found that the door was locked.
`tomorrow I will take them into the woods myself` the wife told the wood cutter
Scavenger: *Bit angry* It was your fault in the first place! Your wife planed it!
Chief: Is she a step-mother...or a abusive parent?
Scavenger: *Bit angry* Heck if I know.
Narrator: in the morning their mother gave them a slice of bread and led them deep into the forest once again
Hansel broke his bread into pieces and left the trail of bread crumbs to lead them safety home
but hungry eyed birds snatched up the bread crumbs and the trail was destroyed
Scavenger and Chief: *Fuming in anger*
Narrator: abandoned by their parents and unable to find the trail home
the children wondered in the forest for three days
Scavenger: THREE DAYS! *Echoes and startles Chief*
Chief: Please don't do tha*eyes widden; stares and points*aaaaaaaaaaaaat.
Scavenger also turns to see the very same Chipmunk mascot, decay and eyes glowing red staring at them, then both stared at each other, then turned back to the ride.
Narrator: the children stumbled into a clearing with an exceedingly strange house
its walls were made of gingerbread and its windows were panes of clear sugar
Hansel desperately hungry, ran forward and began to nibble on the walls
Chief: Hey! Ask before you go and eat someones house.
Narrator: `nibble nibble little mouse who is nibbling at my house?`
an old woman emerged from the house sniffing the air and peering around with cloudy eyes
`oh you dear children who brought you here? just come in and stay with me. no harm will come to you.`
but Hansel and Gretel stayed back. for the old woman reminded them of their cruel mother.
`come children don`t be afraid. I have something for you.`
the old woman offered them two enormous lollipops, the children took them and began to eat
`you see? nothing to fear here. come inside.`
the old woman urged and the children still licking their sweets followed
Scavenger: Have these children never heard of stranger danger?
Narrator: once inside the house the old woman changed
she stuffed Hansel in to a cage and put Gretel to work. sweeping and clearing her hut
`your brother will make a good mouthful` the old witch told gretel
`once he is fattened up I shall feast upon him`
Chief: Cannibalism, ya know, FOR KIDS!
Narrator: time passed and poor Hansel refused to eat fearing the day that the witch would eat him
the witch for her part grew impatient
`today I will cook and eat your brother. Gretel climb inside and light the oven`
but Gretel pretended not to understand
`I do not know how. where is the opening?`
`fool` the old witch said `the opening is here.` and she moved to show Gretel
seizing her courage, brave Gretel gave the witch a shove
and the old crone tumbled forward into the oven
Gretel slid a large iron bolt over the door to the oven
Gretel freed her brother Hansel and together they lit a fire beneath the oven
and though she screamed and begged
the children sat by the oven until her screams had stilled and the witch was cooked
Scavenger: Yeah yeah and they escape the house and find their way home.
Chief: Yep. That's what all the ending are in this sto-
Their faces went pale, as they saw the last picture...
Narrator: and then… because even children can`t survive on sweets
they divided up the body of the old witch and ate her...
...*monstrous voice, from behind* Some say those two witches haught this park to this day, and what luck for them, a Raven and a Redskin have fallen to their trap.
A shadowy figure appeared behind them, reaching out to grab them.
Chief: *Frighten* S-Sc-Scavenger...
Scavenger: -Gulps-
A glowing spirit passed though them quickly and a scream of pain was heard from the narrator...then silence...
