Author's Note: I thought I'd take a shot at a horror story. I've written a creepypasta, but this will be a little better quality than that creepypasta. I've got to warn you, if you don't like gore, turn back. That's why I rated it M. No language or sex scenes. Just a little of the old ultraviolence. It gets decently graphic after a while. But if it doesn't bother you, enjoy the story. Sora's point of view this time.

October 31st, 2011.

Riku always threw the best Halloween parties. Everyone came dressed in their colorful costumes. I was dressed up as Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas. My girlfriend, Kairi was Sally from that same movie. Riku was Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist while his girlfriend, Namine, was Winry Rockbell from the same show. Roxas and his girlfriend, Xion, were Romeo and Juliet.

It wasn't all couples though. Axel was dressed up as a clown. Hayner was a cowboy, Pence was Jason Voorhees, and Olette was a princess. I thought I saw a tall man in a black suit standing outside, looking through the window, but when I looked again, he was gone.

"Come on Sora, dance with me!" Kairi said.

"Ok, but you know I can't dance," I said. Kairi had long, red hair and violet-blue eyes. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever known. We had been dating for 3 years now and we would be graduating together that year. Riku, Axel, and Xion had graduated last year. Roxas, Namine, Kairi, Olette, and I were going to be part of the last graduating class of Radiant Garden High before all of the small, local schools consolidated into Kingdom Hearts Central High. We were glad to be getting out of there before the switch to the new school because Radiant High, Neverland High, and Agrabah High were in a bitter football rivalry and we all knew the fights that were going to happen.

Kairi and I danced to the song, "Tonight", by Enrique Iglesias. I was surprised I didn't step on her feet. When the song was over, we went to the food table and got some pizza.

"This party is so awesome!" Kairi yelled over the music.

"Yeah, I know," Roxas yelled back. "Hey, have you guys seen Zexion and Larxene?"

"No, they're probably making out or something," I yelled. They would always disappear, no matter where we were. They always got in trouble at school for too much PDA (public display of affection). Roxas and I decided to go upstairs to Riku's room and check to see if they were there. Roxas knocked on the door a few times…no answer. He slowly turned the knob to open the door.

What I saw when Roxas opened the door made me want to puke my guts out. Zexion and Larxene had been skinned alive! Their skin lay in a heap next to a neatly-stacked pile of their bones and a pile of their organs. The only way we could tell it was them was because their heads were lying on the bed in a puddle of blood. The smell of death was thick in the air. Zexion's eye had been gouged out; it was actually the eye that was normally covered by his bangs. Their bloody, torn costumes were neatly hung in the open closet. Whoever had killed them tried to make the scene as theatrical as they could. It was almost like a calling card. Zexion and Larxene must have seen their killer coming because their faces were frozen in absolute terror.

"Oh my God!" Roxas screamed. "Who could have done something like this?" He turned and ran for Riku's bathroom to throw up in the toilet.

"I don't know, Roxas. What I'm wondering is how he could have gotten up here without being seen," I said. There were at least twenty people downstairs. Then again, we were all preoccupied with the party. Someone could have sneaked through the backdoor, walked up the stairs, and killed them without us noticing.

"You go tell everyone else. I don't feel so good," Roxas said as he turned back to the toilet for another heave of pizza, Pepsi, and stomach acid.

"Ok, I'll be back," I said. I was afraid to leave Roxas alone up here, but from the way the scene looked and how it smelled, the killer had to be long gone by now.

I practically jumped down the flight of stairs. I ran over to Riku's sound system and turned the music off. "Someone call 911! Zexion and Larxene have been murdered!" I yelled. Everyone went into a panic. They all dialed the police at the same time. Kairi and Namine ran over to me.

"What happened?" Kairi asked. "Who killed them?"

"Is the killer still here?" Namine said, her blue eyes stricken with fear.

"I don't know," I replied. "Their bodies have been completely mutilated." The thought of the scene made my stomach churn sickeningly. "Their organs, skin, and bones are all separated into piles and their heads are on Riku's bed!"

"Oh, man! We're all gonna die!" Axel screamed.

"We are not going to die, Axel," I said. "The killer is probably long gone by now because by the smell of it, they've been dead for a while."

"My brother is dead?" Kadaj screamed. Kadaj was Zexion's older brother. He looked a little like him, but his hair was silver while Zexion's was blue.

"I'm sorry, Kadaj," I said. He ran over to the corner and started crying. His younger brother was the only family he had left. Their mother was in a mental hospital and their father, Sephiroth, was on death row for killing our old teacher, Aerith Gainsborough. I felt sorry for him because he was all alone. We had to find out who killed Zexion and Larxene.

Riku called his parents and told them about what happened. They couldn't come home right away because they were both across the country on business. They were the owners of a large company. Riku's family was rich, but he never let it get to him. He was more down-to-earth than anyone I'd ever met. "They said for everyone to stay together," he said. "Wait until the police get here and then do as they say."

"I'm so scared, Riku!" Namine said. She buried her face into his long, red coat. We were all still in our costumes because we didn't have anything else to change into. Kairi walked over to me and wrapped her arms around my waist.

"Hold me, Sora!" she said. She cried into my chest. Larxene was her closest cousin. They always hung out together. If Kairi wasn't with me, she was with Larxene.

"I'm here for you, baby," I said reassuringly. I was beginning to get a bad feeling about all of this. Something told me that it wasn't an ordinary human that killed them. I thought back on what had happened just before the party.

"Come on guys, let's hurry up and do this," Kairi said. She had bought a Ouija board and wanted to try it out. I wasn't too sure about it, but I went with her anyway. Larxene, Zexion, Riku, Roxas, Xion, Namine, and Axel came with us. We went into the basement of an old, abandoned house in our neighborhood. Rumors were that a witch lived there, but died eighteen years ago. There were drawings all over the basement walls. There were strange symbols all over the walls. Some of them were pentagrams, but I didn't recognize some of the others.

"What should we ask it first?" Namine said. Her voice was very shaky and she was breathing heavily. I could tell she was afraid. Riku wrapped his arms around her tightly. She relaxed in his embrace.

"How about we ask if there's anyone there first," Kairi said. We all placed our hands on the little magnifying glass thing and Kairi asked if someone was there. The magnifying glass shifted to "Yes". I was seriously freaked out. I normally didn't believe in that kind of thing, but I knew that none of us had pushed it. "Ok, who is there?" she asked. It spelled out "I'm not telling". We all took our hands off of it and Kairi said, "Let's go guys, I'm getting scared!" The thing started moving on its own. It spelled, "No escape, you will all die."

"I think we should get out of here, Kairi!" Namine said.

"Yeah, let's go," she said. We all practically ran home and got dressed in our costumes for the party.

The police arrived soon and questioned each of us about what we saw. None of us saw anything so we were let go pretty early. But the memories of that party would haunt us forever, and our troubles were just beginning.

Kairi asked if she could spend the night with me because her parents were out of town and she was scared. I said yes and she grabbed a few things from her house. Riku was staying with me too because his house was now a crime scene. We ordered a few pizzas and watched a few movies on Netflix. It felt comforting to have my best friend and my girlfriend there with me. My parents were on a second honeymoon and wouldn't be home for another few days. They told me they would try to get home as soon as possible when I called them and told them about Zexion and Larxene.

Kairi fell asleep on my shoulder after a few episodes of the Devil May Cry anime. She didn't really like it, but Riku and I were really into it. We had played and beaten all of the games. I carried Kairi up to the guest room that she would be staying in. She woke up when I placed her on the bed.

"Sora, where am I?" she asked.

"I brought you to your room. You fell asleep in the middle of the show," I said. "Goodnight, Kairi. I love you."

"Goodnight," she said. "Love you too." She fell back asleep as soon as she finished her sentence. I walked back downstairs to Riku and sat on the couch next to him while we finished the anime.

"What do you think happened to them, Riku?" I asked.

"I don't know," he said. "It just doesn't make sense. Who would want to kill Zexion and Larxene?"

"Riku, you remember the Ouija board? It said, 'you will all die'. I wonder if whatever we contacted is what killed them," I said.

"Maybe," he said. I decided that I would research it the next day.

The rest of the night was a blur. We finished all of the episodes of Devil May Cry. Riku went to bed at around 2 AM. I stayed up a little longer to clean up and went up to my room afterward. I still had my bunk bed from when I was little and I slept on the top bunk while Riku slept on the bottom bunk. I didn't fall asleep until about 4. My mind kept racing. Two of my friends had been brutally murdered. I couldn't help but think about the haunting message the Ouija board said. "No escape, you will all die." I wondered who would be next. Two of us were already dead. That just left me, Riku, Kairi, Xion, Roxas, Namine, and Axel. My worried mind finally gave in to its desire to sleep, but I didn't sleep peacefully.

I had the worst nightmare I had ever had in my life. I was standing in the middle of a forest with Riku and Kairi. At the end of the trail that led out of the forest, there was a very tall man in a black suit blocking our way out. He had no face from what I could tell. Dozens of black tentacles were squirming from his back. Riku charged at the man before I could stop him. Riku tried to jump up and grab the man's face, but many of his tentacles impaled Riku through the chest and stomach. Blood was pouring from his mortal wounds like a dozen crimson waterfalls. The monster tossed Riku's dead body off to the side and teleported over to Kairi. It picked her up by her neck with one tentacle. The thing started to squeeze her neck, cutting off her air supply. Kairi struggled to get free, but suddenly just stopped. Her face was purple, her body went limp, and her fingers were twitching. She was dead. The monster then grabbed her arms with two of its other tentacles, ripped her head off with the one that was around her neck, and then ripped her body in half right before my eyes! I tried to turn and run, but my body wouldn't move! I was trapped. The man plunged a tentacle into my stomach and I reeled back in pain. It was just about to finish me off when I woke up.

Author's Note: hey, guys. How do you like it so far? Riku dressing up as Edward Elric for the party comes from how if I ever went to an anime convention, I'd dress up as either him or Ed because they're both my favorite characters from their respective franchises. I also thought it would be cool to include Kadaj from Advent Children. I keep wishing that he would be in a Kingdom Hearts game :). And finally, they are watching Devil May Cry because that's what I was watching when I typed this. I hadn't decided on what they would watch before I started typing it out. I could actually see Sora and Riku enjoying Devil May Cry. If you haven't watched it, it's great. It only lasted for 12 episodes though :(. I hope you enjoyed this and be patient for the next chapter. Until next time, friends...

I own none of the characters. Slenderman was a popular creepypasta long before I ever heard of him.
