Alright guys, I know I should have posted this a month or two before Halloween, but I didn't get the idea to re-write it until Jack did his little "Say Goodbye" video on Halloween day. So, here is a story that should have been for said holiday. I am so behind the 8 ball on this. Sorry. Also, let me know if you felt creeped out with how I wrote the story between the song lyrics. I think I did pretty good, but I would like to know if you felt creeped out or if I could work on my horror writing. And if you are under 19 and younger...PLEASE DON'T READ (lol)! I don't want to scar your little minds for life! Anyway, enjoy the story!

The moon held high up in the night sky of beautiful Ireland, where everyone's favorite gamer JackSepticEye (Sean McLaughlin) lived his life in peace with his girlfriend by his side. But soon...his peace was taken away as strange things kept happening around him. Halloween was closing in, and Jack kept thinking he was seeing something sitting in his house, watching him. But then, it was most likely his mind playing tricks on him, and he was still making videos the way they were before the month of October. Last year he made it look like the subscribers' created character AntiSepticEye was coming to kill him and take over. But what a mistake that was.

Jack was on his computer, looking at the comments of his latest video, when all of a sudden, his computer started glitching in and out, like it had a virus of some kind.

"What the fuck?!" He declared, as a face started glitching onto his screen. Her eyes were completely black, and her teeth had fangs. There was blood on her face, as well as her neck. Her hands went out in front of her like she was reaching out for him, and there was blood on them as well. The thing around her neck, however, intrigued the young gamer. It was a purple-black pendant gem, glued inside a black metal crown, and hanging from a gold chain. It looked pretty, yet scary, just hanging there around her bloody neck.

("Do you want to build a snowman?" HALLOWEEN VER. – Frozen – Traci Hines cover)*

[Look up the video if you want, because OMG! It's freaky, and I love it!]

DEMON: [High pitched: Anti...] [Glitches on and off screen] (Giggles cutely/creepily) [Glitches on and off screen again] It's me!

The computer started to show a scene, with it still glitching in and out on him. The scene was of...his living room? It looked like his living room downstairs. But there was a definite difference about the room. "Is that blood?" He couldn't really see since it kept glitching on him, but it most definitely looked like blood.

"Signe!?" Jack yelled as he went to run to the door to leave when he stopped at the sound of a banging coming from the door to his recording room...and then a sweet, yet sad, voice came from the other side.

DEMON: Do you wanna build a snowman/come on let's go and play/I never see you anymore/come out the door/it's like you've gone away/we used to be best buddies/and now we're not/I wish you would tell me why/do you wanna build a snowman/it doesn't have to be a snowman...

Then, the door opened up by itself with a creak to it, revealing nothing there...except for darkness.

DEMON: ...okay/bye.

Jack ran out of his recording room quickly and went towards the stairs, before having this strange sense of fear wash over him as he stopped running, while he looked around. Someone had to be watching him. Or was it all in his head? He could just be paranoid because it was getting closer to Halloween, or maybe his mind was playing tricks on him, thinking that there was someone there, but in reality, no one was.

He went to run down the stairs, when heard the same voice from earlier come back to his ears like a tornado siren, making him stop in his tracks once more.

DEMON: Do you wanna build a snowman/or ride our bikes around the hall/I think some company is over due/I started talking to the pictures on the wall...

Jack spun around to see one of the photos he got framed from PAX had blood on it now, with the eyes of his girlfriend Xed off. "Signe?"

DEMON: ...it gets a little lonely/with all this empty space/just watching the hours tick by/tick tock/tick tock/tick tock/tick...

Jack gulped before he ran down the stairs, and stopping at the bottom when he noticed the blood trail leading to the living room. He gulped again as he slowly followed the trail of blood, only to find when he got there, Signe, on the ground...dead. Blood was everywhere, but it seemed to have originated from her neck, since there was more blood there then there was on her face or arms.

"SIGNE!" He screamed as he ran over to her, and kneeling by her side as her eyes showed no signs of life whatsoever, while Jack held her close to him with tears tempting his own eyes. "Signe...no..." He trembled with sobs as he started to cry heavy tears. This had to be a nightmare! There was going to be a moment of silence before he woke up and everything would be okay after this.

But what if he was wrong?

DEMON: Please/I know you're in here/I have been asking where you've been/they said "have courage"/and I'm trying to/but I'm right out here for you/just let me in/we only had each other/but now you left too/what am I going to do...(we used to be best buddies...)

At that moment, Jack felt a hand on his shoulder, making him look up to see the same girl from his glitching computer looking right at him. The only difference was her eyes, they had color and held sorrow in them as she knelt down next to him. She then opened her mouth to speak, showing that her fangs were still present.

DEMON: ...do you wanna build a snowman...(it doesn't have to be a snowman...)

JACK: Get AWAY FROM ME!

The girl's eyes changed in an instant right then and there, as they turned completely black once again.

DEMON: Okay/bye...

She then vanished into thin air as Jack let the tears fall down his face, while he found it harder, and harder, to breathe. It was like his lungs were cut off from any sort of oxygen. He was losing himself. He was becoming a shell of his former identity, not knowing...this would awaken a greater power inside of him.

Then...

(End of song)

Jack woke up with a jolt as he sat up straight in his bed, as cold sweat dripped down his face. "Just a nightmare. Just a fucking nightmare. Alright." He said under his breath, while taking deep breathes before looking at the time on his phone, and saw that it said 12:00pm. He over slept. "Fuck!" He shouted as he got out of bed and got dressed quickly.

"Damn it! Why did I fucking over sleep?!" He screamed as he quickly brushed his dark green hair and ran out of the room, only to see Signe sitting at the kitchen table, reading a book while eating her lunch. He breathed in a sigh of relief before walking up to her and giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Hey, babe."

"Hey Jack. You slept in late." Signe stated as she put the bookmark inside her book, and looking at her boyfriend.

"Yeah, I know. I'll just grab a little something from the fridge, and then..." Jack began, as he went to the fridge, when the sense of fear entered his veins once more. He looked to his right, not seeing anything there, then his left, and again, he saw nothing there.

"You okay?" Signe asked, sounding a bit concerned.

"Uh, yeah." Jack began as he changed his mind and went to cabinet, grabbing a bag of potato chips instead. "For a moment there, I thought I felt something watching me."

"Oh, if this is another Anti trick, I'm going to slap the shit out of you!" Signe yelled.

"It's not, I swear!" He began. "And I don't remember playing that prank on you...just my subscribers."

"I watched those." Signe stated as she went to open up her book.

"Really?"

"Hell yeah! You know I support everything you do."

"Oh, baby." Jack stated as he walked up to her and kissed the top of her head. He then hesitated before bending down to have his face in hers, as he said the 3 words he has been wanting to tell her for the longest time now. "I love you."

Signe looked up at him surprised. He finally said it. He finally said the words she has been dying to hear fall from his pink lips for months now, and he finally said them. "I-I love you too, Jack." And then they shared a long and sweet kiss, before Signe stood up and hugged him. Jack hugged back, with a smile on his face. Nothing could ruin this for him in this moment. Oh, but was he so wrong.

When he looked straight ahead, he saw the same girl from his dream. He stared in surprise and fear, before he blinked and saw that she was gone. What the fuck is going on with me right now? He thought to himself as Signe pulled away and smiled at him. He looked at her and smiled back before he kissed her forehead.

"Well, I'll let you go do some videos, and then we'll hang out afterwards." Signe said as she touched Jack's cheek, and before she sat back down.

"Yeah...I'll talk to you later, babe." He said before kissing her head, and then walking up the stairs to his recording room. When he made to the top of the stairs, he looked at the photo he had of him and Signe hanging on the wall. He stared, and was grateful to see that there wasn't any blood on it, or Signe's beautiful deep blue eyes crossed out.

He smiled at this before he walked into his recording room, closed and locked the door, and then sat down at his computer. He went to turn it on, when he noticed a note on his desk. He picked it up, and unfolded it. And what it said...freaked him out.

NOTE: I'm watching. [Think of the text that Jack used for Halloween this year on this note.]

"Hang in there, Avalon!" A black haired girl yelled at her friend who was laying on the floor, looking like she was having a seizure. But her eyes were turning on and off black, and her teeth were getting pointed as well. "Hang on!"

"I...am...trying...Toria!" The girl, known as Avalon, yelled. "You...are not...HELPING!"

Another girl, with lighter blond hair, ran in with a doctor needle in her hand, and immediately stabbed it into Avalon's left leg, making the young girl stop twitching on the floor, and her eyes go back to their normal hazel blue. Her teeth also have stopped growing their points and were her normal again, cueing the lighter blond girl to pull out the needle. Thankfully, she didn't need a bandaid for her needle mark.

Avalon was breathing heavily as she sat up slightly and looked at the two girls. "Thank you guys. I owe you one."

"You owe us none. We'll always be there for you, Ava." Toria said.

"She's getting stronger, Yvette. I hope what you gave me will last."

"It should for a while. Longer than before." The lighter blond, known as Yvette, stated back. "But it won't last forever."

"Forever would have been nice."

"Girl, I am dying over here! I've tried everything to make it be where you are normal, and nothing has worked!"

"Well, keep trying! I'm tired of this...thing, taking over my life! I've lived with it for too long!" Avalon yelled as she stood up from the ground and went to the front door, as she grabbed her black leather jacket.

"Where you going?" Toria asked as she stood up as well.

"For a walk. I need to clear my head." Avalon answered before she walked out the front door, while putting on her jacket.

"Come on, Yvette. Let's get back to work." Toria said as she walked to her computer and started typing up formulas.

"I don't get her, Toria! Why does she have to be...?!"

"A bitch?" Toria finished, making Yvette sigh as she nodded her head yes. "Yeah, she was like that back in California. But don't be fooled, under that hard surface, there's a soft core waiting to come out."

"What is she doing then? Waiting to be free from the "curse" that she was born with?"

"Well, what she told me, and I quote: 'I'll help people out, be Christ to them, and do the plan the way He wants me to do it, but until the monster is gone, I won't be myself'." Toria said as she looked over at Yvette. "She's scared, sweetie."

"So am I!"

"But she's lived with this for her entire life of 21 years! Give her time. She'll come through."

Yvette sighed again before walking over to her computer and sat down to do some work, but instead, just sat there, swiveling in her seat as she thought about Avalon.

Jack walked down the stairs and went into the kitchen as he yawned with exhausion. He went to the fridge and got a bottled water, before noticing he felt the sense of being watched again. He turned around and looked around, not seeing anything, until he noticed a bit of blood on the kitchen table. "Signe?!" He called out in fear, hoping his dream wasn't coming true.

"Yeah, Sean?" Signe called back from upstairs, making the young gamer sigh with relief as he walked up the stairs to see her holding a cloth to her thumb.

"What did you do?!"

"I cut myself with scissors while doing a craft."

"Oh, you silly." Jack then grabbed a bandaid from the drawer in the bathroom, and looked at his girlfriend's hand. It was now only bleeding a short bit, making it easier for Jack place the bandaid on the wound, and then kissing the bandaid with a smile, making Signe smile as well.

"Thank you." She said.

"What is a boyfriend for if he can't take care of his girlfriend?" Jack stated before hearing a bang on their front door. "The fuck!"

"I'll go get it." Signe said before pecking Jack's lips, and then ran down the stairs. Jack followed close behind, and watched as Signe opened the front door, revealing a skinny, pale white girl, who had shoulder length brown hair with red highlights and black low-lights, and no bangs. Seeing this girl made Jack's heart almost leap out of his chest.

No way...that's the girl from my nightmare! He thought to himself. Her outfit consisted of a red mini-dress that had a lacy turtle neck sleeveless top, black netting tights, and black leather high-heeled boots. Even a black leather jacket was placed on her back. But the one thing that grabbed Jack's attention, was her necklace...it was the exact same one that he saw in his nightmare!

Fear started coursing through his veins as Signe stared in surprise at the young girl standing at their door.

"Avalon, what brings you here?" Signe asked with a grin.

"I'm sorry to do this to you, but..." Avalon began. "...I could really use an old friend right now."

~END OF CHAPTER~

Well, I hope you enjoyed Chapter 1 of the rewrite of The Demon inside ME. Also, I changed my mind. The original is going to be staying up on the site so people can see how that one went, and then can read this one to see how this one is different. But I really hope you liked it. Thanks for reading and God bless!
