GH4 17: Pumpkin-heads.
I tossed and turned in my sleep in bed in my dark bedroom as Olive laid sound asleep on the floor at the foot of the bed. I was having a nightmare.
In the nightmare, i stood in Justin's dark bedroom where i saw two figures dressed in costumes with Jack-o-Lanterns on their heads, standing on both sides of his bed as he struggled against the first one while it dragged him out of bed while the other one picked a struggling Max up off the floor. Both boys were wearing the same pajamas they had on tonight. And these creatures looked like the monsters 'The Haunting Hour: Pumpkin-heads'.
Justin and Max struggled until they managed to break free, followed by rushing out of Justin's room and the pumpkin-headed monsters chasing after them.
The nightmare instantly changed scenes, and the next thing i knew, i was downstairs in the living-room where i saw Justin and Max being chased around the room by the two pumpkin-heads and two more pumpkin-headed creatures, with one carrying white ropes and the other wielding duck-tape.
I watched on in horror as one of the pumpkin-headed monsters, holding a white rope, grabbed a screaming Justin, followed by the creature pinning him to the floor on his back before he it used the white rope to bind the 10-year old boy's hands and feet together by his wrists and ankles, tying his hands in front of him.
The second pumpkin-head, holding the duck-tape, grabbed the screaming Max, pinned him down to the floor on his stomach, put his hands behind his back, then jestered for the for the third pumpkin-head, wielding the white rope, to come over to where he was.
The third pumpkin-head ran over to where the second pumpkin-head was and handed him the ropes.
The second pumpkin-head used the ropes to tie Max's hands behind his back and his feet together by his ankles. He then reached inside his right costume pants pocket, got out some scissors, and used them to cut two strips of the duck-tape, followed by placing them over Max's eyes and mouth, muffling his screams and blindfolding him. The second pumpkin-head then went over to where the first one was with Justin where he cut two more strips of duck-tape with the scissors and placed them over the 10-year old's mouth and eyes, muffling his screams and blindfolding him as well.
The first pumpkin-head picked up the bound, muffled-screaming Justin while the fourth one picked up the bound and muffled-screaming Max and carried him over to where the first two pumpkin-heads were and laid him down on his stomach before the first pumpkin-head placed Justin on top of him on his back.
The fourth pumpkin-head got some more white rope out of his right costumed-pants pocket and tied it around Justin and Max, binding them together.
The second pumpkin-head placed the duck-tape and scissors back in his right costumed-pants pocket.
The first pumpkin-head picked up Justin and Max and he and the other three pumpkin-heads exited the living-room.
I ran to the entrance/exit of the living-room where i saw one of the pumpkin-heads open the door, followed by all four of them exiting the house with the two bound and blindfolded boys. I ran into the foyer and stopped at the door where i saw the first pumpkin-head load Justin and Max into the open double-doored trailer of an olf truck that looked like the Creeper's truck from the 2001 horror film, 'Jeepers Creepers', then two of the pumpkin-heads closed the double-doors. All four of them got inside the truck and drove off the property.
...
My eyes shot open and i sat up in my bed, breathing heavily. I looked at my surroundings and realized i was in my dark bedroom of the Keeble residence. The pumpkin-heads, the kidnappings of Justin and Max...it had only been a dream. Or had it? There was only one way to find out.
I got out of bed and made my way to the foot of it where Olive was sleeping and i kneeled down. "Hey." I said, placing my right hand on Olive and shaking her, trying to wake her up, to no avail. "Hey, wake up." I said, shaking Olive again. And this time she did wake up. "Come on. Let's go check on Justin and Max." I said before standing up.
Olive stood up and shook herself before we made our way over to the door. I opened it and we exited my room and went over to Justin's bedroom door.
"Justin?" I called. No answer. "Max?" No response.
Receiving no response from either party, i placed my hand on the door-knob...slowly turned it...and opened the door. When i looked inside the dark room...i saw that Justin's bed was empty. He was gone. Olive and i made our way inside the room and went over to the left side of the bed where i was sure Max would be sleeping on the floor in his sleeping-bag, and we saw that the blue sleeping-bag Max had once slept in was now empty also.
The nightmare had come true.
They were both gone.
Or were they?
Olive and i rushed out of the room and ran down the stairs, into the foyer, and stopped at the open front door where we saw the same truck i had seen in my dream driving off the house property and into the street.
"Oh, no." I said. I was certain the truck was being driven and occupied by the four pumpkin-heads i had seen in my dream and that they had Justin and Max in the trailer of the truck.
I knew we had to save the boys, so Olive and i rushed back upstairs to my room where i opened the closet and got out a pair of black boots and put them on, followed by getting the 90s cellphone off the night-stand and then rushing out of the room with Olive, back down the stairs, through the foyer, and outside the house where we stopped in the middle of the street to see the truck ahead of us.
I dialed 911 on the 90s cellphone and Olive and i took off running down the street after the truck, with me hoping that this old mobile-phone worked. Then again, why shouldn't it? After all, Miss Preston said she had had it reactivated before giving it to me. Also, the ghost of Brendyn had called me on it a few times, as did the ghost of Bobby one time. If it worked for two dead kids, it could work for me, right?
"You've reached 911, this is Heather Iola. How may i help you?" The female dispatcher known as Heather said.
"Hi, my name is Charlotte Web and i'm 10 years old. You gotta help me rescue my two friends, i think they've been kidnapped." I said, panting as Olive and i ran.
"Why do you sound so out of breath?" Heather asked.
"Because my dog and i are chasing after the truck my friends are in." I answered, panting.
"Okay, where are you?" Heather asked.
"I'm in the suburbs of Montana, but i don't know for how long 'cause i have no idea where the truck is headed. Could you stay on the line with me until my dog and i find out where it's headed?" I said.
"Sure." Heather said.
"Great. Thanks." I said.
"Olive and i kept running down the street after the truck, determined to catch up with it. Though the vehicle was far ahead of us, i knew we had to save those boys. We weren't going to lose that truck no matter what.
