"So, what do you think?" I asked once the Cenobites appeared in my room.

"He's becoming quite influenced in the mind," Female replied to Pinhead, "Don't you think?"

"I believe he has. It's becoming a little more easier for him to cooperate."

"So, does this mean we're going to do it?" I asked.

"If you can find your own way of escaping and not getting caught." I thought of it for awhile. I can't just sneak out of my window and make it appear that I'm asleep. Not at 6:30pm I can't. I could try to rely on Samantha but I'm afraid she'll get pulled into this as well. That or she'll end up dead. It seemed like my only option at this point.

I could call her and tell her we can go to the game to make up for our ruined date. But that would be suspicious to her because I hate going to school games. But again, it looks like I have no other choice.

"I think I have an idea."

"We already know." Then, they disappeared. I looked at my clock to see that it was 6:03pm. Almost time for that game to start.

I picked up my phone and called Samantha.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Samantha."

"Oh hey! What's up?"

"I've been thinking a lot about messing up our date and I wanted to make up for it."

"What do you want to do?"

"I wanted to know if you'll go to the school game with me."

"I thought you didn't like those?" Okay, there's just something about being in a big crowd that makes me uncomfortable. I haven't told her this yet but I'm hoping she agrees right now. This is my only chance to get to April before the weekend starts.

"I did but I think I'll give it a shot."

"Oh Korey! I'm so proud of you! I'll get ready and meet you at your house."

"Don't worry about that. I'll come over and wait for you."

"Awww, you're such a nice guy. I'll be waiting then."

"Okay. I'm coming over now." I hung up and put my phone in my pocket. I walked out and told my parents where I was going.

"Why tonight?" my mom asked, "The police said to stay home for awhile."

"Besides, aren't you supose to heal that cut of yours?" my dad included.

"I'll be all right. My hand is doing better anyways. Also, I already promised Samantha I'd take her. If I skip out on another date, she'll get really mad."

"But why did it have to be tonight?" my mom asked again.

"I don't know. But, I promise I'll be safe. And if something happens, I'll call you to know I'm safe." My mom came over to me and hugged me tightly.

"I don't want people to think you're the killer after what's been happening."

"I know." I glanced over at the clock to see it read 6:08pm.

"Samantha's waiting, Mom. I've got to go."

"Okay. Be safe."

"I will." I walked outside the door with a tear in my eye. I hated lying to my parents. I never wanted them to know about this. Well, there were other things I'd rather not tell them. Not bad things but stuff I'm afraid they wouldn't understand.

I continued my walk until I came upon Samantha's house. I heard some yelling coming from it, so I walked close to the door. I heard, almost clearly, an arguement between Samantha and her mother.

"No! I forbid you to see that boy tonight!"

"But Mom! You don't understand!"

"I don't understand what? That my own daughter is in love with a serial killer? Why do you like him?"

"He's normal Mom! He's just like you or me!"

"Oh, so we all wear black, keep our skin icey white, and wear collars on our necks like animals?"

"No! That's not what I mean!"

"What are you trying to say?"

"He's so nice and kind and respectful! He's nothing like you would think!"

"So, the boy you hated because he forced you to sit through a two hour horror movie is the boy you want to be with forever?"

"It was one time! He doesn't do that anymore!"

"Next thing you know, I'm going to hear about you marrying and having his demented children!"

"Mom!" I heard her voice crack and a short pause.

"I-I love Korey! Why won't you accept that!" That's when I heard a loud sound. I couldn't tell what it was but I soon figured it out from Samantha's crying. Her mother just slapped her.

I knocked at the door and everything stopped. The arguing, the screaming, the crying. It was so quiet.

Then, Samantha's mother answered the door.

"Oh, hello Korey. I don't think Samantha can join you tonight. Sorry."

"It's okay, Ma'am. I'll just go home now."

"That would be nice of you." I turned around and was almost out of the yard when I heard her mom faintly utter the words, "Faggot." When I turned my head around, the door closed. I couldn't hear any more screaming or yelling so I walked away.

Now, with no date or excuse, I was left with nothing again. Samantha just had a fight with her mom that she'll cry to me about later. My parents believe I'm probably be at the game with her right now. I don't know where the cops are exactly, but they weren't following me. But I still had to please these blood-thirsty demons before it was my sins they were after.

That's when I saw April walking by herself. She was on the other sidewalk across from me and was ahead of me by several feet.

How could this be? Was Fate finally giving a chance tonight? I'm actually going to be able to get this bitch even without an excuse or a girlfriend.

She turned the corner to my street and walked four houses down to...What the hell is she doing at my house? She was standing there under my window, watching it. Is she stalking me? Why? That's when she took out a bottle and started shaking it. I saw her spray the words The murderer on my house and instantly lost it.

I pulled at Pinhead's chain and he appeared in front of me.

"Is that her?"

"Yes. Kill that bitch."

"I do more than kill, Korey." That's when he made a hook come and stick itself in April's lower back. She tried to scream but she couldn't for some reason. Pinhead pulled at the hook and it started to tear up her back slightly. I heard her whimper and drop the spray can. Pinhead then made the hook rise up in the air, making April rise as well. The hook was lodged deeply in her back and she was above the ground like a dead cow in the meat factory.

I tried to stifle my insane laughter but was half way succeeding. I loved seeing her finally taken care of. This was what she deserved! Crap, I'm acting like a Cenobite again.

The light in my room came on and I saw my dad looking through my night stand. So, I guess they really suspect me. Pinhead wrapped the chain around a tree and left April hanging there, bleeding to death. Then, he took out a kife and came towards me.

"Wh-what are you doing?" I asked in a worried tone.

"This will only hurt for a moment," Pinhead said with that emotionless face again.

He took the knife and stabbed my right side. I screamed out in pain and fell to the ground. All I could see was the afternoon sky fading into night and Pinhead above me.

"We'll be seeing you pretty shortly," I heard him say silently. Then, I fell into blackness.
