Chapter 3 - Odd occurrences.

My senior year of high school had just started, I was actually taking things seriously and tried my hardest. Usually I had trouble trying to keep up with my grades but this year was different. I would stay after school to study with a teacher individually to retain what I had learned throughout my day. It was a great method of keeping my grades up as I would no longer be wasting my time studying from books. Staying late after school would mean I wouldn't get to take the bus home as usual, so I would just walk home. I didn't mind it because it gave me time to clear my head after a long, stressful day at school. My walks home would go normal and it'd take me about 30 minutes to get home depending on how fast I walked. Today was different. So different that it would completely change my life from here on out. I left school around 4:30 that day which was a little more early than usual because I was very tired. I had stayed up late the night before watching TV and playing games. The route I took home lead me past downtown and through the rural area till arriving at my house. As I was approaching downtown, which was never crowded as it was a small town, I heard the faint scream of a woman. This scream sounded like they needed help. No way I could just ignore a violent scream like that. I tried to pinpoint where the sound was coming from till I determined it was coming from the alley behind the book store. I rushed to the alley way to see the most brutal, mutilated body of what was once a young woman laying on the ground with a man standing over her. This man was not normal. I couldn't see his face just yet as he was hunched over feeding apon the body of this poor, helpless girl. My knees locked, my heart sank, and my hands began to shake as this mysterious man turned around to me revealing his face. It was like nothing I've even seen before. Half of his face was that of a human , a man to be specific. The other half resembling that of a monster right out of a horror movie. We made eye contact and the man began to laugh. "Seems like you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time kid" the man said while laughing. " He can talk?!" I though to myself. He started to slowly approach me. His arms began to mold into something else. Blades. They started shifting into blades. It was at that moment I realized he was going to kill me too.
