The Haunting Hour Alternate Endings

This is a 'what if' for the 'Best Friend Forever' by the haunting hour. At one point, I was considering doing the 'Dead Body', but then the sequel came and I thought it was perfect as is. Anyways, here we go. This takes place during the bathroom scene.


Jack stormed in. "No Cheeky!"

"Help! Please! Kill that thing!" Sally's panicked voice screamed out.

"I can't kill this thing. He's already dead," Jack replied.

"That's not possible!"

Jack took a second to think. "You're right, none of this is possible, which means no one will believe you if you try to tell them"

"Come on Cheeky," Jack said, tugging him out of the bathroom.

For a minute, Jack was about ready to ditch class and then meet Mitch, but in the last second, decided against it. He led Cheeky to the woods and then decided to go back to class.

"Jack, where did you go?" the teacher asked.

"Sorry sir, I was really thirsty," he replied.

"Don't do it again," the teacher stated. "Or else you're going to have a call to your parents"

Jack nodded. "Sorry". He went and sat beside Sally.

"You will be doing a project on insect digestion and I have already selected your partners," the teacher announced. There were some groans in the background. He announced some partners, until he heard his name.

"Sally and Jack"

"Mitch and Jane"

Jack watched Mitch move towards his partner. Suddenly, Jack felt a tug in his arm.

Sally went towards him and hissed quietly in his hear, 'What was that?'

Jack thought about feigning ignorance. "What was what? What are you talking about?"

"That thing," she hissed. "Don't play stupid with me"

"He's my friend" Jack replied.

Sally slapped him hard. "Your friend almost killed me"

In the corner of his eye, he could spot out Mitch laughing at him.

"You need to kill that thing," she quietly said.

"What happened to your rant about not killing and digesting? Remember the worm digestion and how it's like killing a dog. Yeah, well it's like the same thing," Jack answered.

"It's not the same thing"

Jack was done with the whole conversation. "If you're so determined, why don't you kill it," Jack challenged. He knew Cheeky was a zombie, so he can't die.

"I'm not killing anything," she turned away.

The bell rang and Jack got up. He was about done, he just wanted to go home and rest. When he arrived home, he forgot about Cheeky. Sighing, he went back out to search for him.

When he went to the woods, he was surprised to see a body lying down. It was Mitch. Suddenly, he saw blood. Suddenly, he remembered he asked Mitch to meet in the woods to see his zombie. He took a step back and felt something.

Panicked, he turned around to see Cheeky. Jack decided to make a run for it. Luckily, he was able to outrun the zombie, but he wasn't going that slow either.

Suddenly, he bumped into Sally.

"Watch where you're going. You could've hurt Phoebe," Sally said, pointing towards her dog.

"You got to help me. Cheeky killed Mitch and he's coming after me," Jack said.

Sally processed what he said and started running towards her home.

Jack felt abandoned, but decided to continue to run until he's same. He ran as fast as he could and when his house was in view, he opened the door and locked it.

"Phew," Jack sighed. He decided to go to bed and also tried to forget everything he saw.

The next day, Jack woke up. He opened his TV.

"Breaking news, a zombie was killed by the police. We are still investigating more about this case"

Jack blinked. 'So Cheeky got killed'. He shook himself out of those thoughts and prepared breakfast. Then, he left for school.

Halfway to school, he didn't notice a figure following him.

It was only when he felt something on his shoulder that he turned around and he couldn't believe what he saw. Sally was a zombie! She must have got bit or something.

"All…your…fault," she groaned.

Jack raised his arms and begged, "I'll do anything, don't eat my brain"

She looked up. "…Anything?"

"Yes! Anything! As long as it doesn't involve eating my brain! Or any other body parts!" Jack exclaimed.

"…Become…my…slave…for…the…rest…of…your…life," she answered.

"I will for the rest of my life! I swear on my life! Don't eat me though," Jack exclaimed.

Sally started to laugh.

'Huh? What was so funny?'

"It was a joke. I dressed up as a zombie. I heard that your friend got killed in the news," she replied.

"Yeah," he nodded.

Sally smirked. "Ah well, I guess, you're my slave now"

'Crud' Jack thought. "That was part of your joke though. It didn't really mean anything"

She turned around to face him. "You swore on your life and see, I'm not eating you at all, so now you're my slave". Sally stopped for a second, "Oh and you're doing the whole project, slave"

'Great'

As they walked towards school, they failed to notice a certain someone was looking over them.

Zombie Mitch groaned, "Re…ven…ge"
