Chapter 2
The next morning
Kane woke up feeling like he ran over 100 miles. He hardly had any strength to get up. He knew it had to do with that nightmare he had last night. He dreamed about this strange figure who seemed to have the face of a demon.
He saw this person watching a child running his family over with a lawn mower. It was scary. He had tried to scream but something covered his mouth and something wrapped around his waist, pinning his arms to the side. He realised that the demon looking person was not in front of him, but now behind him and was holding him.
Kane had felt his head being pulled to the side to expose his neck. He felt the person lick it before biting down hard, breaking the skin and making it bleed. He had tried to scream, but couldn't. He had begun to cry in pain. It was like that was what this person wanted him to do because he released his neck and leaned in to lick the tears away, leaving a trail of saliva and blood on his cheek. That was when Kane had woke up.
Kane sighed and got up, cracking his neck as he did. He then noticed that his sketchbook was open, which was strange because he had closed it before he went to bed. He walked over to it and saw that there was another note. It read,
"Hey there sleepy head,
Wakey wakey. I hope you enjoyed that nightmare last night. It was fun. I imagine you are thinking right now, 'how does he know about the nightmare?' Well I can't tell you that until you figure out who I am. Here is a clue. Go back and watch all the videos you found. Then find what is one thing that can be found in each one of them. If you do that, you might be able to figure it out. You might want to check your neck though. You wouldn't want anyone thinking that you were attacked by a rapist now. I can't wait to see you face to face.
From,
Mysterious Person
P.S. Don't tell anyone about this note or anything else, especially the videos. I would hate it if these people tried to take you away. It's been so long since I last had someone to play with."
Kane was really scared. Whoever this person was, they were obviously dangerous. He ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. He gasped at what he saw. Right where the person had bit him in his nightmare was a wound that was bleeding. Kane grabbed a med kit and ran back to his room, not noticing that someone was watching him run around like a mouse being chased by the cat.
A child appeared next to the person. The child asked, "Mr. Bughuul, are you alright?"
The figure, now identified as Bughuul, looked down at the child and said, "Yes. I was just thinking about how we would be having a new member around. Now how am I going to go through with this?"
The child asked, "Is this the one who was unresponsive to your manipulation when he first saw you?"
Bughuul said,"Yes. I have to admit I was surprised. That had never happened before. Then again. It makes this all the more interesting. I can't wait to see what makes this teen crack before I control him. Now Stephanie. Let's return home for now. When he gets back from school, I will have a job for you to do. I will explain later what it is."
Bughuul picked the child up and held her like he was holding a baby. He walked towards the shadows and disappeared.
After School
Kane Anderson was dead tired after school. He made no friends at all and was already being bullied by his brother and his new friends. His ribs were killing him because he had been punched and jabbed so many times. His back was also killing him because he had three textbooks in his backpack. What was worse was that his older brother was staying and hanging out with his new friends after school, so he had to walk 15 blocks to get back home.
It took about 20 minutes to get home by walking. By the time Kane got back, he was ready to drop down and pass out. He opened the front door using the key his mom made him and took off his socks and shoes. He then proceeded to to kitchen to get something to drink.
With Mysterious Figure(aka: Bughuul)
Bughuul had heard the front door open and knew that Kane was home. He smirked because his little plan to give poor Kane a good fright was about to start. He had left notes around the house. If Kane found the one in the kitchen, then he probably would try and find the others. That was when little Stephanie would come in. She would walk around the house, which would make Kane follow her. She would lead him to the other notes and when Kane found them all, would lead the poor frightened boy to him. This was going to be very entertaining.
'Now Kane. Let's see how long it will take you to start freaking out,' Bughuul thought.
Back to Kane
Kane was drinking a glass of ice cold water when he noticed a piece of paper pinned to the refrigerator. He walked over to it and yanked it off. His eyes widened as he read it. It said,
"Hello Kane. I decided that I wanted to meet you sooner that I wanted to. The urge was simply too strong for me. This is a scavenger hunt. Each note is a clue to where and who I am. If you are wondering how to find the other notes, just simply search."
Kane grabbed his jacket and shoved his shoes on. He wanted to get out of here very badly. Just before he reached the front door, he heard a noise coming from the dining room. He slowly walked back just in time to see something or someone move from the room. His curiosity got the best of him and he began to follow. He was lead to the office room, where whoever was there suddenly was gone.
He spotted another piece of paper on the keyboard to the computer. He walked over to it and picked it up. It read,
"Great job on finding the first clue. I am very proud of you. So here it is. I am not what you think I am."
Kane read the note over again. What did this person mean that they were not what he thought they were? He was dragged out of his thoughts when he heard a noise again from the hallway. He quickly ran out and saw a glimpse of a small person. He ran after that person and soon found himself in his older brother's room. On the bed was another piece of paper. He grabbed it and read it,
"Good job. You are doing great. Next clue, I am where you would least expect me to be."
Kane wanted to start crying right there and then. Someone was playing a mind game with him and he didn't like it. It was really scaring him. He turned and saw the same small person run past the door. He ran out and began to go after this person once more. This time he found himself in one of the bathrooms. A note was taped to the mirror. He yanked it and read it,
"Getting closer. Next clue, I love to mess with a person's head."
Kane ripped the note up and threw it into the trash can. He saw in the mirror the person again. He followed this person until he found himself in the basement. He turned on the light and saw a note on top of a box of tools. He picked it up and read,
"You are doing wonderful. Next clue, people avoid this place in the house."
Kane wanted to scream. These clues made no sense! He began to chew on his bottom lip in a nervous habit. He heard something again in the dining room. He went back upstairs and went to the dining room. He saw another note on the table. He walked over and picked it up. It said,
"So close now. Here is the next clue, I am called something that is not human and is found in hell. Only three more clues. Keep going."
Kane was shivering now. Why was this happening to him? What did he mean only found in hell? He so desperately wanted to run and hide up in his... Wait a minute. A place that people avoid and where he would least expect the person to be.
'Don't tell me...,' Kane thought. Oh god. This person was in his room in the attic! Kane wanted to go up there and see if it was true, but it would be best to get the other clues first. He saw a shadow move quickly and realized it was the small person. He walked after the person and ended up in his younger brother's bedroom, which had a lot of toys. He spotted the note taped to one of the windows and went over to it to read it. It said,
"Almost done. Just a bit more to go. Next clue, it can get really dusty up here if you don't clean it."
Kane began to feel butterflies in his stomach. He then figured that the second to last note would be in his parent's bedroom so he went there next. He was right because on his dad's nightstand was a note. It read,
"One more to go. You have done so well. Here is the second to last clue. Think back to your nightmare. Who did you see?"
Kane wanted to smack himself for not realizing it sooner. There was no other explanation. How else did this person know about the nightmare or the wound on his neck if he wasn't the one who caused them. Damn him for not figuring it out.
He heard laughter and quickly turned just in time to see a figure of a little girl go past the room. He ran after her and saw that she disappeared into the attic. He then saw that on the ladder, there was the final note. It said,
"Congratulations! You have completed the scavenger hunt. Now all that's left is to climb up the ladder. Oh, but wait. There is still one clue left. The final clue is, if you watched the 'pool party' video, then you would know who I am."
Kane gulped when he finished reading it. He now knew that the person he saw in the video, the person in his nightmare and the person who was writing these notes were all the same person. He thought about calling the police, but there was no telling what would happen. So Kane plucked up whatever courage he had inside of him and slowly climbed up the ladder.
Kane entered the attic and looked around. There was no one there. He noticed that the camera was on and a film was playing. It was a family that was caught in their car which was on fire. He gulped at the scene. Kane walked over to his bed and found his sketchbook. He opened it to the picture he drew the night before. He ran his fingers over the drawing. He smiled gently. Poor Kane was so caught up with the picture, that he didn't notice a certain someone coming up behind him.
Bughuul smirked when he saw Kane with his back towards him looking at the picture he drew. He quietly walked up until he was directly behind him. He leaned in until his head was almost leaning on Kane's shoulder.
He turned his head so his mask was a hairs breadth away from Kane's ear then whispered, "Boo."
Kane jerked away and quickly turned around. He gasped when he saw the same figure that he drew right behind him. He took a few steps back and ended up falling back onto his bed. Bughuul let out a laugh. That was the best reaction he ever had. He walked over to where Kane was and stood there, looking down at him.
Kane could only stare at the mask, not that he knew it was one. The person was much more terrifying up close then far away or in the film he saw. He gulped and began to tremble. He now knew that this person was not human, but a demon.
He spoke in a scared voice, "Were you the one writing all those notes to me?"
Bughuul spoke in an amused tone, "Yes. It was quite fun seeing the way you reacted. You were just so... frightened."
Kane suddenly grew angry when he heard what the person said to him. He replied in a angry tone, "Is that why you did it? To see me scared out of my mind? What the hell is wrong with you!? Was it really that entertaining seeing someone freak out because they think someone is stalking them!? Is that a really good feeling..."
Kane didn't get to finish what he was saying because Bughuul had leaned down and place a finger on his lips, silencing him.
Bughuul said, "Yes. It was fun to see you like that. It has been a while since I ever got to scare someone. You cannot expect me not to do something like this. After all," he leaned in closer so that he could whisper into Kane's ear, "I am a demon."
Bughuul felt Kane flinch when he said that. Kane let out a whimper of fear. He didn't want to die yet. Bughuul pulled back and gently placed his hand on Kane's cheek, cupping it lightly. Bughuul could tell that the teen was frightened of him. He could smell the fear rolling off of him.
He gently pulled Kane's head the the side, revealing the bandages he had put on the wound that Bughuul had given him in his nightmare. He smirked at the sight of it. Did the teen really think that covering the wound would make it better? He raised his other hand and placed it on the bandages. He could feel Kane trembling before he gripped the white stripes and ripped them off, causing Kane to let out a yelp of pain because Bughuul's nails had scratched his neck in the process.
Kane was about to push the demon away when Bughuul leaned down, slid his mask off just enough so his mouth was uncovered, and bit the wound, causing it to reopen. Kane let out a cry of pain as he felt the demon's teeth tear apart the sensitive skin. Kane suddenly pushed back so he was lying down on the bed. Bughuul grabbed both his wrists and pinned them beside his head and then continued to bite and chew on the wound.
Kane began to struggle, trying hard to get the demon off of him. He tried to kick Bughuul, but said person straddled Kane's waist, making sure he had no room to struggle. Bughuul pulled away after a minute or two. Kane's neck was a mess. The wound that was not as big or as bad from the nightmare was now worse than before. Blood poured from the wound like a small river. That was going to leave a big stain on the sheets.
Kane himself was not in good shape. He had tears pouring from his eyes and his body was shaking so hard that you would think that an earthquake was happening inside of him. His eyes were closed as if he wanted to block out all the things that just happened. Bughuul thought it was cute. He leaned down once more and gently began to lick the wound clean. He could feel Kane's pulse speed up really fast.
Once that was done, he pulled away for good and slid his mask back on completely. He didn't want the teen to see what he truly looked like right now. He slid off Kane and went downstairs to one of the bathrooms, picking up a first-aid kit and bringing it back upstairs. When he got there, Kane had moved so he was curled up in a ball. Bughuul sighed at that.
He walked over to the bed and sat down. He felt Kane flinch at the sudden movement. He gently pulled Kane's arms apart and away from his head and pulled him to him. Kane immediately began to struggle to get away, but Bughuul had a strong grip on his arms and was soon sitting in the demon's lap. When he tried to get up, the demon wrapped his legs around Kane's to prevent him from getting up.
Kane screamed out, "Let me go! Get off me!"
Bughuul didn't reply as he opened the first-aid kit and took out some gauze and poured some rubbing alcohol on it. He wrapped his free arm around Kane's upper chest, pinning his arms to the side before he placed the gauze on his neck. Kane let out a scream when he felt the alcohol come in contact with the open began to struggle even more, wanting to get away from everything.
Kane screamed out, "Stop it! It burns! Please stop!"
He was in so much pain. Finally his body became numb from all the pain. He could see black spots appear in his vision. Kane could feel himself losing conscious fast. He welcomed the darkness with open arms.
Bughuul felt Kane relax in his grip. He looked down and saw that Kane had passed out most likely due to the pain of the alcohol coming in contact with the bite wound. He simply continued to clean the wound until there was no more blood. He got out a clean gauze and gently placed it onto the wound before getting out a roll of bandages and wrapping it around Kane's neck. He casted a spell on the bed to get rid of the blood on the sheets before gently laying Kane down. He covered the passed out boy with the blanket and stroked his hair for a bit before walking over and into the film.
