Chapter 1 - The Mysterious Box

January 14th 2023

"Guys check out this box I found!" A boy yells out to his friend group while holding a box covered in bones, blood, and rusting metal as he walks to them on the sidewalk. He then runs to his friends fastly. "What is it Kaden?" One of the friends says with a small bit of irritation in his voice.

Kaden spins and holds out the box infront of them after getting done spinning. "I found this weird looking box!" Kaden says while holding it. Kaden's friends look at them while being in digust. "Kaden- that thing looks like- possessed..." That same friend from earlier says. "Come on Matthew, it looks so cool! How about we open it?" Kaden asked.

"FUCK NO!" Matthew said, quickly turning the idea down. "Me, Zane, and Damien really don't wanna do this, ain't that right yall?" Matthew asked while turning to them. "Yeah Kaden, this honestly sounds stupidly like a horror movie and we're not white." Zane says while snickering a bit. "Kaden I swear to whatever God there is- if you open that box I'm gonna hurt you" Damien says.

Kaden gets mad after getting his idea to open the mysterious box rejected and then sighed. "Fine, I won't open the box..." Kaden says sadly. "Thank you for not being dumb this time. Now Dieko and Tofumi want us to hurry up to their house to play some Minecraft." Matthew says while starting to walk off.

As Damien and Zane follow Matthew to their friends house, Kaden holds out the box he has and thinks. "Guys, I'm gonna go home. My mom just called me saying she wants me home." Kaden says. They all look at Kaden and gives him a thumbs up. "Better come play tomorrow then!" Damien exclaims while walking off with the others. Kaden then gives an awkward smile. "M-most definitely." He says awkwardly then runs off. "He's going to open the box." Says Matthew. "No shit he's gonna open the box." Said Damien with a quick reply.

Kaden starts running faster and faster up the road until he reaches his house. Then he starts walking up to his front door then opens it. "Aunt Shamina? Are you here?" Kaden asked in a bit of confusion then he goes to the kitchen to see a note. "'Gone to China with your cousins, sorry we left you but your not on break, love Auntie ShaSha♡.' Really- she left me here, BY MYSELF!" Kaden states in a rage.

He then calms down by breathing in and out a few times. "Ok..." Kaden says to himself. "Let's open this box!" Kaden exclaims while going to sit down at the kitchen table. He takes a few deep breaths and then opens the box. "HUH nothing happene-" Kaden tries to finish his sentence until getting interrupted by a giant Gust of wind in his house. "What the hell-" Kaden says in confusion. Kaden then looks down at the box as it starts to shake. "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!" Kaden yells in shock.

The box leaps out of Kaden's hands as words come out of it. "Freedom..." the voice from the box says. A giant hand comes out the box as a giant black figure pulls itself out. With horns as sharp as a blade, arms as buff as an ox, claws as pointy as the tip of a knife. It creeps towards Kaden and starts dragging it's finger on Kaden's cheek. "Hello child...." It says while dragging it's finger on his cheek. Kaden starts feeling scared as the mysterious black figure proceeds to caress his face. The black figure starts opening and unhinging it's already wide jaw. "I haven't had human flesh in a while...." It says while drooling as it looks at Kaden. "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME YOU FREAK!" Kaden says while clenching his fist.

Kaden suddenly punches the black figure in the face, trying to get it to leave him alone. The black figure starts growing as he opens his mouth wider and wider until they here a weird sound behind the monster. The monster like creature turns and Kaden looks in his direction to see a black smoke emerge from the box. "Ohhhh- the fuck is that?" Kaden asked. "How am I supposed to know?" The black figure responded. The black smoke ends up filling the room as it creeps out of the house. "WHAT THE HEL-" Kaden says but soon gets interrupted with a "BOOM!"
