It's drizzling and the whole race track is covered in mist. Everyone in town sits on the sidelines on the dump grass covering themselves with umbrellas and hoodies as the riders get on the bikes. Anyone was allowed to participate given that you had your own bike and you were willing to place a bet on yourself.
"I wish they could have chosen a better night to race I mean I can't feel my face," Shantel complains cuddling up to Sam as Matt rubs his arms together.
"I know why he had to come but why do we have to? We could be sitting at home watching a movie."Sam complains but before anyone replies a gun goes off and the riders are off in their bikes.
Shantel gets up holding her wooden board which reads 'Go, Jen!Go!' And cheers for Jenna who is lagging behind heading towards the forest. The only thing the racers can see is the lights from their bikes.
"You're going down Jen!"The racer in the all green glowing bike shouts taking off her helmet and riding faster. As everyone headed deeper into the forest towards where the river was.
Jenna takes a sharp turn and turns to the right towards the cliff and jumps off it leading her towards the end of the forest. It was her shortcut, and even though it wasn't the route, they were supposed to use it was her shortcut and the reason she always won. But as she was riding she saw someone in the forest with a weird yellow mustard mask on with a frown knitted into the area where the mouth would be.
The person was a bit far from her, so she didn't clearly see what was going so she ignored it and kept riding out of the forest, glided over some water, and got to the finish line.
Everyone cheered and other bikes followed. Jenna got off her bike and removed her helmet. Gina gave her money as she walked to the guys.
"That was so awesome!"Shantel shrieked in delight."Congrats Jen!"Matt said as Shantel hugged her. Sam was indifferent and kept checking his phone."Thanks, guys for coming even your wet blanket."Jenna replied punching Sam in the shoulder.
"We should celebrate!"Shantel suggested.
"Sounds great but I want to look for my stepdad first. Matt could you help me out?" she answered winking at Matt who went with her.
"Should we wait up for them?"Shantel asked Sam who looked at her smiling and took her hand in his."I think we'd be wasting our time if we did. Let us go home and..."
But before he could finish his statement they heard a loud bloodcurdling scream.
Matt and Jenna ran towards the screams which were near the forest and there three of the racers' bodies were found with their ears chopped off and their throats slit are lying with blood dripping from the ears and neck. And there goes the peaceful town of Chestnut.
