Rani and sky had now returned from trick or treating, to find an empty number 13.
"We're back" she called.
But she got no answer.
"Sarah Jane" She continued as she walked into the lounge with sky.
She was then stated by a loud bang from a cupboard in the corner of the room. Rani and sky slowly walked towards it.
Suddenly a figure that appeared to be some sort of zombie burst out of the cupboard.
"Brains" the figure said as it lunged at Rani.
Then a werewolf jumped out from behind the sofa making sky jump, then the zombie and the werewolf began to laugh.
"Nice outfits guys" Rani said sounding a little annoyed.
"So did we get you" Clyde asked who was dressed in an old ripped school shirt cover in tomato sauce.
"Yes you got me" Rani replied.
Clyde high fived the werewolf, who had lifted his mask up to reveal it was Sanjay.
"So where's Luke" Sky asked.
"Boo" Luke shouted from behind sky.
Luke then appeared dressed a white sheet with eye holes cut out.
"Wow check out Casper" Rani said with a grin.
"Couldn't really think of anything else to be" Luke replied.
"Well I think you all look great," Sarah Jane told them as she walked into the room.
"So is everyone ready to party" Clyde yelled.
The party was soon in full swing, and Sarah Jane's house was now quickly filled, with all different creatures of the night as her other guests arrived.
Rani's parents had come as mr and Mrs Frankenstein; Clyde's mum was dressed, as Morticia Adams, and even professor rivers had come dressed as a goblin.
"You enjoying your self sky" Luke asked his sister.
"Yeah, this is just brilliant" She replied with a playful grin.
Luke began to smile to himself, Clyde and Sanjay were right sky was just like him, but luke was then snapped out of his thoughts when he saw someone he didn't expect.
"It can't be," He said to himself.
Luke couldn't believe his eyes, but there in the room was the man that had walked out in front of his car at the supermarket.
"What is it Luke" Sky asked.
"It's that man again," he answered as he turned to her.
"What man" Sky continued.
But when Luke turned back to point the man out, he was gone.
"You wait here ok" Luke told sky.
"Sure" the 13 year old answered with a nod.
Luke then headed over to where the man had been, and then he walked into the hall and noticed the front door was open, so he headed outside.
"Little late to be out on your own"
Luke turned and saw the man in the shadows, with his back to the garden wall.
"Who are you" Luke asked.
"Who I am is unimportant, why I'm here is," the man told Luke.
Luke slowly walked towards him.
"There's something coming Luke smith, and you have to be ready" the man warned.
"Wait how do you know my name, and what do you mean something's coming" Luke demanded.
"Luke" Sanjay's voice called.
Luke turned to see him walking towards him.
"What you doing out here" He asked.
"I'm just," Luke said as he turned back to the man, but yet again he was gone.
Sanjay joined him.
"That man was here, the one in the car park, he said something's coming and I have to be ready," Luke explained.
Not to far away Philip was quickly heading though the streets.
"Almost there" he said to himself.
But then he heard it behind him and felt the overwhelming presents of evil,
"You can't escape Philip, you belong to me " it's chilling voice hissed.
Philip didn't dare look behind him instead he just ran and ran and ran.
He soon came to forest road at the end of it he could see it bannerman road was just a few 100 yards away now.
As the party continued at number 13, there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it" Luke shouted as he ran into the hall, as he knew there was only one person this could be.
Luke flung the door open to revile Maria who was dressed as a vampire, and he dad who wore a red cape, with flashing devil horns on his head.
"Sorry were late" Maria said.
"Yeah traffic was a nightmare," Alan Jackson added.
"It doesn't matter I'm just glad you were able to make it" Luke told them.
They were about to head inside when they heard someone running, the sound of there feet pounded into the pavement, until the figure of a man appeared in the drive.
"Please help me," The man said as he collapsed.
Luke and Alan quickly ran to the man's aid but he was now out cold.
"Looks like he's collapsed from exhaustion" Alan said.
"We better get him inside" Luke told him.
Luke and Alan picked the man up and headed inside with him, but none of them saw the dark shape of a figure stood in the driveway.
Luke and Alan carried the man to one of the bedrooms while Maria got Sarah Jane.
"So what happened" Sarah Jane asked as she came into the room.
But then she stopped dead when she saw the man on the bed.
"Jonesy" she said.
"You know him mum" Luke asked.
"Yes we were at university together," She explained.
The man started to come round.
"Sarah" The man said sounding very weak.
Sarah Jane went over to him and grabbed his hand.
"I'm here Philip, what's happened," she asked.
Philip Jones turned to her and Sarah Jane could see nothing but fear in his eyes.
"He's come back Sarah Jane, and he's coming for me, he's coming for both of us" Philip told her.
"No" Sarah Jane simply said.
Luke saw the colour drain from his mums face; he had never see her look so afraid.
"Only you can stop him Sarah Jane, you're the only one who can" Philip continued.
As he spoke all the lights went out, and plunging the house into darkness.
"He's here" Sarah Jane added.
Down stairs Rani was busy lighting candles.
"Typical the first party we've had in ages, and the power goes" Clyde complained.
"That's odd" Haresh said as he looked out of the window.
"What is my darling" Gita asked.
"The street lights are still on, in fact it looks we're the only ones affected" Haresh continued.
"I'll check the breakers" Rani told him.
As Rani headed into the hall, there were 3 loud knocks on the front door.
"Hello" Rani called out.
But there was no answer, just 3 more loud knocks
"Who's there" Rani demanded as she slowly headed to the front door.
Once again there was no answer apart from 3 more knocks, Rani walked up to the front door and was about to open it when Sarah Jane appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Don't open that door Rani," She warned.
But it was too late she had already turned the handle. Suddenly a black fog rushed though the door, Engulfing Rani and the rest of the house in total darkness.
The darkness soon cleared and Sarah Jane was still stood at the top of the stairs, but now she appeared to be alone.
"Luke, Maria" She called as she went into the bedroom.
But the room was empty, Sarah Jane quickly headed down stairs.
"Rani, Sky, Clyde," She continued.
There was no answer; she walked into the front room to find that it was also empty.
"Where is everyone?" She said to herself.
Sarah Jane then heard the sound someone sobbing, and turned to see a small boy sat in the corner his head buried in his arms his knees hugged to his chest.
"Hello" Sarah Jane said as she walked towards the boy.
"Leave me alone" The boy sobbed.
"Hey it's ok" Sarah Jane told him as she moved closer.
The boy then looked up and Sarah Jane couldn't believe he eyes.
"Ryan?" Sarah Jane said sounding shocked.
"Stay away from me" The boy replied as he turned away.
"Ryan it's me" Sarah Jane continued.
Ryan then turned to face her and she could see anger through the boy's tears.
"I said stay away Sarah Jane" The boy snapped.
"Ryan please" Sarah Jane added.
"The bad man came for me Sarah Jane, you said he couldn't hurt me," The boy said.
Sarah Jane now looked ashamed with herself.
"I know" Sarah Jane answered.
"You told me there was no such thing as monsters, that the bad man it was just a nightmare" Ryan continued.
"I was wrong and I'm sorry," Sarah Jane replied.
"It was all your fault Sarah Jane, you and your friends, you made the monster real," The boy sobbed.
"We were all fools" Sarah Jane said tears began to form in her eyes.
"Your friends deserved to die and now the bad mans coming for you" Ryan added.
The boy suddenly looked afraid, something was behind Sarah Jane.
"He's here," Ryan said as he hid his face in fear.
"Sarah Jane" A voice whispered.
Sarah Jane froze she knew that voice, a voice she still heard in her nightmares.
"So your back" She said.
"Yesssss, you thought you'd escaped me, but you've never been free you belong to me Sarah Jane like all the others" the voice hissed.
Sarah Jane then slowly turned to see a dark shape, which formed into a hooded figure.
"Soon I will be free once again, and this time nothing can stop me, not even you my sweet Sarah Jane" the figure continued.
"I've defeated you before, and I will do again" Sarah Jane answered.
"But I'm a lot stronger now, I have already taken the others and Philips time is almost up, then only you will be left my sweet Sarah Jane" The figure replied.
"Where are my kids and everyone else, what have you done with them" Sarah Jane Demanded.
"Nothing, there all exactly where they were" The figure answered.
"I'm asleep, I'm in a dream" Sarah Jane said.
The figure began to laugh.
"Oh no Sarah Jane, this is a nightmare, one you shall never wake from" The figure told her.
Suddenly there was the sound of glass smashing, Sarah Jane ran into the hall to see a
Group of giant spiders, running down the hall towards her.
"Run Sarah Jane, Run for your life" The figure added.
Sarah Jane quickly ran out of the house, with the figures laughter echoing behind her.
