Author's Note: Hey guys, welcome to my Halloween HuniePop story. I had planned on getting another chapter of TLAB out before this but all I could think about was what I wanted to do for this. Hope you guys enjoy this, I'll be returning to TLAB once this is finished. This story isn't necessarily Halloween related, but it's still more of a horror story.

Chapter 1: Closing Time

Friday, 10:58PM. Just two more minutes and Nikki's shift would finally be over. The last of the customers were leaving the café, the clean dishes were being put away, tables and floors being swept and cleaned. Nikki couldn't wait to finally get out of this hellhole to finally go home and play her video games. All the customers were nothing but douchebags today and her coworkers were completely useless of course. As the clock finally showed 11:00PM, Nikki wasted no time as she immediately proceeded to clock out and head to the back door. She made sure to get out before any of her managers could even breath in the same area as her.

Exiting the building and entering the dark city, Nikki put her headphones in, and made her way to her apartment. The only light shining was from the moon and the street lamps, most buildings were dark and unoccupied, and there were no cars in sight anywhere, which was very unusual for a Friday night, but Nikki just assumed that people finally started realizing that staying at home on a Friday night is a lot more fun than going out and getting drunk, doing drugs, having unprotected sex and partying. As she kept walking, she noticed a strange figure leaning against a street light. They were dressed in a black, baggy coat with black gloves, baggy black pants, black shoes and a black ski mask covering their face. They almost looked like a shadow. The figure wasn't moving at all, it didn't even seem like it was alive, it was so still it could've almost been a statue. Nikki could not tell whether the figure was male or a female, but she could tell that it was probably best to ignore them. She decided she would take a detour home to avoid encountering them. She turned around to find a different route, looking back every few steps to make sure she wouldn't be followed.

As she kept walking, she could feel as if she was being watched. All she could think about that was that strange figure she saw. Maybe she was just being paranoid, but something didn't feel right and she no longer felt safe walking home. She almost wished that she had continued her normal path and ignored the figure. Shaking off this feeling of paranoia, she continued to walk, but then suddenly felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, causing her to jump. She pulled it out and saw that she had gotten a text message from an unknown number:

834-995-4824

TURN AROUND

Nikki felt like she was about to throw up. She didn't know if this was a prank or if this was real, but she did not want to turn around, but she also couldn't shake off this feeling that she needed to turn around, just to confirm that whoever this person texting her was, was just a prankster trying to scare her. Bracing herself, she slowly began to turn around, but before she could even look at what was behind her, she was met with a hard fist right to the jaw. The impact was so sudden and so shocking, that Nikki immediately fell to the ground, hitting her head hard on the pavement below. Her vision became blurry and she felt dizzy, but she was still trying her best to make out what had hit her. All she could see was a black blur getting closer and closer. At first Nikki didn't even know what was happening, but then it finally clicked, it was the same figure that she had saw earlier.

Nikki attempted to get up, but she was slow and dizzy that it almost pointless to try. The figure gave Nikki a quick kick to the face and Nikki once again fell backwards. Her face had become a broken and bloody mess and her mouth had slightly filled with blood as a couple teeth had been knocked out. All she wanted was for it to be over, but then she felt a sharp object penetrate her stomach. She looked down and saw a knife being pulled out of her own body, and she attempted to let out a scream for help, but it was no use. She was not able to make even a single peep. She could feel her life fading away as warm blood kept pumping out of her stomach wound, her face still in excruciating pain. The figure moved closer until both Nikki and it were staring at each other dead in the eyes. Nikki tried her best to make out the eye colour of this person, as it was the only thing she could do at this point, but was interrupted by a blade being pushed right into her eye. Her vision immediately became red and she became completely overrun by shock. She no longer had any clue as to what was happening, but one thing she did know, was that she was about to die. The figure kept pushing the blade farther and Nikki eventually stopped all movement. There was not a trace of life left in her body as she laid there, an empty shell of what used to be Nikki Ann-Marie, was now just a lifeless, bloody, goopy corpse.

The figure pulled the knife out of Nikki's eye, and the eye came right out of the socket. Blood came pouring out, making an even bigger mess of the already messy body that once belonged to Nikki. The figure stood up, pulled a notebook out of it's pocket, and scratched Nikki's name off a list. It then walked away into the shadow of the night, leaving the pile of blood and guts that is now Nikki behind, open for anybody to come and see.

Author's Note: So that's the end of the first chapter. A short one, but I felt like this was a good place to stop. Hope you guys enjoyed it anyways, I'll be trying to update this regularly as I'm full of ideas for this!
