It is a cold and stormy night. A loud crash wakes me.

I look over to the clock and find out that it is 3:00 in the morning. I was just getting back to sleep when the phone next to my bed rang. I decided to answer it, as I was help awake anyway. The caller was a guy.

" Hello, who are you and why are you calling at 3:oo in the morning?"

" I am the person who made the loud noise, I am calling as I have a mission to complete."

"What is this mission about?"

" That information I can not give you"

" Okay, I have had enough, I am hanging up know"

" Don't you dare h…"

* To late I have already hung up *

I decide that I won't be able to sleep any more so I decide to go downstairs and have a cup of strong tea. The day before I had gone to the movies and hired out scream1. I am only about 20 minutes into the movie when there is a knock at the door. I decide to ignore it. It did not work because who every it was at the did not want to go. I finally got up and went to answer the door.

" Hello, who is it?"

" I am the one that phoned earlier"

* I SLOWLY HEAD TOWARD THE KITCHEN *

I have grabbed the butcher knife of the kitchen bench. Slowly heading towards the door I see a dark figure in the window. I slowly move backwards and hide behind the couch. There is another knock at the door and I decided to crawl and turn on the porch light, to see who was there.

Standing at the door is a tall guy dressed in black clothing with a mask hiding his face. I decide to go back up stairs to the storage room, still carrying the knife. Here I find many unpacked boxes from when I moved in. I start looking through on of the boxes and find a book titled " Rules to live buy in DANGEROUS situations"

I opened the book and read the first few pages.

It read:

|With death about it is worthwhile to remember a few | |simple rules to help keep yourself, healthy, happy and | |SAFE! Please use these helpful hints this and every year.| | | | | |1. When it appears that you have killed the monster, | |NEVER check to see if it is dead. | | | |2. Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a | |joke. | | | |3. Do not search the basement, especially if the power | |has gone out. | | | |4. If your children speak to you in Latin or any other | |language which they should not know, shoot them | |immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the end. | |However, it will probably take several rounds to kill | |them, so be prepared. This also applies to kids who speak| |with somebody else's voice. | | | |5. When you have the benefit of numbers, NEVER pair off | |and go alone. | | | |6. As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open | |portals to Hell. | | | |7. Never stand in, on, or above a grave, tomb, or crypt. | |This would apply to any other house of the dead as well. | | | | | |8. If you are searching for something which caused a loud| |noise and find out that it is just the cat, GET THE HELL | |OUT! | | | |9. If appliances start operating by themselves, do not | |check for short circuits; just get out. | | | |10. Do not take ANYTHING from the dead. | | | |11. If you find a town which looks deserted, there's | |probably a good reason for it. Don't stop and look | |around. |

I was enjoying what I was reading and had not heard for the weird guy again. The last few pages went like this:



|12. Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless | |you're sure you know what you're doing. | | | |13. If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or| |fall down at east twice, more if you are female. Also | |note that, despite the fact that you are running and the | |monster is merely shambling along, it's still moving fast| |enough to catch up with you. | | | |14. If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit | |uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination | |for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on,| |kill them immediately. | | | |15. Stay away from certain geographical locations, some | |of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, | |Transylvania, Nilbog (you're in trouble if you recognize | |this one), anywhere in Texas where chainsaws are sold, | |the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine. | | | |16. If your car runs out of gas at night on a lonely | |road, do not go to he nearby deserted-looking house to | |phone for help. If you think that it is strange you ran | |out of gas because you thought you had most of a tank, | |hoot yourself instead. You are going to die anyway, and | |most likely be eaten. | | | |17. Beware of strangers bearing tools. For example: | |chainsaws, staple uns, hedge trimmers, electric carving | |knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches, soldering | |irons, band saws, or any devices made from deceased | |companions. | | | |18. If you find that your house is built upon a cemetery,| |now is the time to move in with the in-laws. This also | |applies to houses that had previous inhabitants who went | |mad or committed suicide or died in some horrible | |fashion, or had inhabitants who performed satanic | |practices. | | | |19. Dress appropriately. When investigating a noise | |downstairs in an old house, women should not wear a | |flimsy negligee. And carry a flashlight, not a candle. | | | |20. Do not mention the names of demons around open | |flames, as these can flare suddenly. Be especially | |careful of fireplaces in this regard. | | | |21. Do not go looking for witches in the Maryland | |countryside. | | | |HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY AFTER LIFE!!!! | | | |I decide to phone a friend and tell her to come over. | |" Hello Kitty? | |" Hi Snoopy. | |( snoopy) " Kitty are you busy?" | |" No, not really. | |(Snoopy) " Would you like to come to my place right | |know and have a look at the book that I found. | |" Yeah, sure." | |" See you soon then, bye" | |" Bye" | |I am waiting around for Kitty to arrive, I slowly make my| |way down to the living room carrying the book and knife, | |and the movie is still playing. There is a knock at the | |door. | |" Kitty, is that you?" | |" Yes." | |I open the door and let my friend enter but before | |closing the door, I looked around to see if there was | |anything in the yard. I notice that it is strangely quite| |outside. I quickly close the door. | |Kitty asked " Is something wrong?" | |I reply, " yes, there was this weird guy out there | |before. | |(Kitty) " I did not see anyone out there" | |Kitty and I both look out the window and see that our | |other friends are walking up the driveway along with a | |few of our guy friends. | |I call out to them and invite them in, even though I | |remember that Liz has always been frightened of my | |mansion thinking it's haunted because the previous | |owners had violently murdered themselves, however the | |rest of my friends (spyro, chicken, and Cherrie) thought | |it was pretty cool. The guys (Larry, Troll, Elvis and | |Honey) who had never before visited my house but knew the| |story were looking around the house in wonder. Usually I | |probably would have been embared with them there but I | |was more worried about the creepy caller. | |Larry: so, what is up? | |Me: Oh, not much. Creepy caller violently threatening me,| |not much difference from every other night. | |Larry: seriously? Are you all right? | |Me: I am now that you…all of you are here. | |Elvis: Can we have a tour of your famed home? | |Me: I guess, but we should stick together I do not want | |to find one of you decapitated in one of the rooms. | |Kitty: I could argue | |Me: Not funny! | |I notice that Honey and the Troll were laughing | |uncontrollably to themselves; I turn and glare at them. | |I take them through the rooms starting with the | |downstairs but when we started going upstairs, I hear a | |strange buzzing noise from the basement. | |Me: Can any of you guys hear that noise. | |All reply: " No, | |I think that I have heard something. | |Suddenly………….. | |Will continue. | | | | |
