The Entity
It all began on that cold winter's day. You and a group of 4 friends were out playing. You aged around 15 to 17. You being 17. It was a simple game of tag or something, you find it hard to remember. What you do remember is that... that thing standing watching. It looked around 6ft and 6 inches tall. It's arms abnormally long with what looked like claws at the end. It's skin tone pale white. It looked Humanoid for the most part but there was so much off with it. You seemed to be the only one to spot it and when you mentioned it to your friends, it was gone. They called you crazy and to chill. But how could you. What you saw was so clear. You tried to clear your head and go back with your friends. You played for a bit longer. You constantly shooting looks around, seeing if that Thing was still around. One of your friends had to go and you were reluctant to let him go but didn't voice your opinion. He went off. A few minutes passed and a horrifying scream was heard. It sounded like your friend. All of you rushed to the rough sound of the location but nothing was to be found. Some began looking around and that's when in the corner of your eye you notice a faint trail of some red liquid. It was behind a bin, so you moved it and what saw you haunts your dreams. Your friend. In several, bloody, clawed up pieces. All you could do was walk back unable to speak. That's when another friend saw you and came up and they instantly saw what you saw. They shouted for everyone to come here quickly. Nobody knew what to say or to do. Few were crying. Someone was being sick. The rest silent. Horrified. One of you finally used their heads to phone the police. In the wait for the police you began to explain that it was that Thing you saw. A few dismissed this saying it was a sick person who done this. Only 1 agreed. The police arrived and took you all away from that scene. They asked if you saw anything but all you heard was the scream. But you explained what you saw earlier and the police man looked at you dismissively. He asked everyone else but no-one had any information. The remains of your friend were taken away by an Ambulance and you were all escorted home.
You talked to your friends over the phone about it. You desperately trying to get through that it was that Thing. That's when one of your friends who didn't agree earlier said they saw something outside their house just now. They said it was similar to what you described. You were closest so you told them to lock the doors and hide. You were going to come over. They chuckled and thought it was an animal. You insisted. They did as you said and you raced over. Wielding a pipe, you found. You got there in 5 minutes and their seemed to be nothing about. There were no signs of forced entry or anything. You knocked on their door. A minute passed and you were about to knock again and that's when you heard noise behind the door. The door opened and it was your friend. You came in and found they were fine. The Thing had seemed to just disappear. It was now evident that something was stalking you and your friends. That's when a text into the group chat of your friends came through. A picture. It was the Thing you were describing. Everyone now knew it was real. You made everyone do a check in every 10 minutes to see if they were alright. You said you had to get back home to your friend and asked if they be okay. They said they would be. You left and quickly ran home. Just in time for the first check in.
2 hours passed and no-one missed a check in. The next check in was different. One person missed it. You all franticly sent messages. One person was near enough and would get there in 20 minutes. You waited and the response was horrific. Your friend who went to check found a bloodbath. Body parts and a red sea everywhere. They phoned and you all listened. They then went dark. Only 2 remained. You and that friend that was near. It turned out their parents wouldn't be home. So, you decided to go over and stay the night. You made it safely and you hugged your friend tighter than ever. You both have just lost so much so quickly. They seemed tired and you told them to sleep or rest at the least. You would stay awake and watch out. The quickly feel asleep but you could tell it wasn't pleasant dreams. They were thrashing and mumbling. This went on and on. 20 minutes passed and no signs of the Thing hunting us. Your friend still thrashing. You woke them up, disturbed by what they were doing. They woke startled and breathing heavily. They explained it was horrific. You gave them a reassuring hug.
A loud bang came from the garden. You told your friend to stay there as you went to check. More banging and a low moan. It wasn't human. You looked out the blinds and saw the Thing. Standing there. It had knocked bins over and seemed to be crying. It looked up and noticed you. It rushed to the window. You ran back and a large bang hit the window. Repeatedly. It kept hitting the window. You stood ready with the pipe but shaking. You told your friend to get upstairs. They ran up when a loud smash came. It had broken in. It creeped in and stood straight up. It loomed over you. A wave of adrenaline hit you and you hit at the Things legs. Over and over again. It did nothing. It raised a hand and you ran for it. It barely got your back. But you ran and slammed a door behind you. You raced upstairs and found your friend cowering. You had a helpless look on your face. You sat with your friend. Both crying slowly. The thing creeped up the stairs and entered the room. It's low moan, drowned the room. It raised a hand and you put yourself in front of your friend and closed your eyes.
