Halloween: Blood Bath- Chapter 2

The full moon light guided Leigh down the deserted street. She knew that if she didn't e it home before 10:00, her parents were going to kill her. Leigh was returning from her boyfriend's house. Her parents didn't like Matt (her boyfriend) very much because he was a Goth. 'If you continue to hang out with him, he will turn you into a Satanist.' her mother once said to her. 'He's not a Satanist! He's Christian! Haven't you seen the cross around his neck?' Leigh shouted in reply to her mother's statement. Her mother couldn't understand that even if he was a Satanist, she would still love him.

She saw her mail box and sprinted towards it. She tuned into her driveway and noticed that her parent's cars weren't in the driveway. She then, however, stopped dead in her tracks. The front door to her house was wide open. 'I thought I closed the door when I left.' She muttered under her breath. This she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Michael! If you're out of bed, I'm going to kill you!"

She ran into her house and up the stairs. Her brother was fast asleep in his bed. She checked the rest of the rooms upstairs and went to check downstairs. When Leigh was checking the downstairs bathroom, she heard footsteps above her. "Michael!" The footsteps stopped. "If you're out of bed when I get up there, I'll be sure you get grounded for a month!"

The footsteps continued across the floor. "Whew," Leigh though to herself. "If I got Michael in trouble, he'd probably tell where I was." Leigh went out of the bathroom and across the hall to the phone. She wanted to call her mom's cell phone and see when she was going to be home. Her plan was ruined when she put the phone to her ear and didn't hear a tone. She set the phone down and picked it up again, hoping that the tone would be back. She again heard no tone. She stood there for a while and thought about why there wasn't a tone. She looked under the desk on which the phone sat on and saw the problem: the line had been cut. "Oh shit!" Leigh thought to herself. Suddenly, Leigh heard her brother scream at the top of his lungs. She got up and ran up stairs. She looked down the hallway towards Michael's door.

"Michael!" Leigh screamed. A person emerged from Michael's room, but it wasn't the Michael Leigh was expecting. A man walked into the hallway and looked at Leigh. She looked straight into his deep black eyes. She saw his pale mask. She starred at his blood-stained jumpsuit.

"Michael..." That's all Leigh could say. Michael Meyers walked up to her. He was about 5 inches taller than Leigh. She felt something cool touch her hand. She looked down and saw that his knife was dripping blood. "My brother's blood" Leigh said out loud. She heard her brother whimper from the other room. Michael Meyers turned his head towards the direction of the sound, walked towards it and stopped at the door. Leigh wanted to run at him and knock him down, maybe even kill him. She never got the chance. Michael ran into the room and Leigh heard her brother scream in agony. Leigh screamed so loud, she couldn't even hear her brother's screams for help.

Presently, Leigh woke from her horrible dream to the sound of her Michael's screams. "Oh fuck!" Leigh said to herself. She grabbed the gun from her bedside table and ran to her brother's room. She opened the door, turned on the light and aimed the gun. Her brother stopped screaming and seeing that no one else was in the room, Leigh walked over to her brother's side. She looked at her Michael's left arm and saw that it was cut in several places.

"What the hell happened?" Leigh asked.

"The boogeyman did it." Michael said.

Leigh couldn't believe it, but seeing the truth in her brother's eyes, gave in. She looked in the room for proof. And the window was it. The window next to her brother's bed was wide open. Bloody hand prints were all around it and on the floor, next to the bed, was a large, bloody knife.

"Michael," Leigh started, but realized that telling her brother the truth might be horrifying for him, she instead said, "It was just a dream. Go back to bed. I'm going to go call mom and see where she is. Michael nodded and rolled over. Leigh left the room and went down to the stairs and over to the phone. She picked it up and heard no dial tone.

"No!" Leigh screamed. But she wasn't the only one who screamed. She heard Michael scream from upstairs.

"No. this can't be real. This is only a dream. It's all a horrible dream. A nightmare." Michael screamed again and Leigh pulled the gun out of her pants pocket as she ran upstairs. She moved quickly and screamed at the top of her lungs as she saw the knife plunge into her brother's chest.

"Mother fucker!" Leigh screamed at Michael Meyers as she pulled the trigger of her pistol five times. She missed every single shot. Michael quickly moved to the window. With only one shot left, Leigh shot at Michael and hit him square in the forehead. He fell out the window and hit the ground. Leigh looked out the window and saw Michael Meyer's lifeless body sprawled out on the lawn. She turned and walked over to her brother. She looked into his beautiful blue eyes. A tear ran down the side of his face.

"I'm sorry I wasn't fast enough, but don't worry, he's dead. I killed him." She gripped his hand tightly. And with his dying breath, gave Leigh the most important lesson of her life

"You can't kill the boogeyman." His arm went limp. Leigh ran to the window and looked at the grass below. Michael Meyers's body was gone. All that was left was a bloody patch of grass where his head had lain. Leigh looked everywhere outside, but could not find her brother's killer. Michael Meyers had once more escaped.
