----------------------------------------------

also ngl probs a bit unrealistic in many regards and v much horror movie tropey im sure,, I mean I wouldn’t be dumb enough and im sure y’all wouldn’t to throw a halloween party knowing a serial killer is on the loose ...but shh horror movie tropes!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

You had just gotten up a few moments ago, opening your eyes slowly and then rubbing the sleep out of them, there was two more days until Halloween and you and your friends were planning a party on Halloween Night, they wanted to do it at your house and honestly it sounded like fun so you all had made plans a week or so ago and everything was set, you needed to go out and get some snacks and candy today and you had really hoped there was still some because you had kinda been too busy, you knew your friends had some candy and snacks they were bringing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

But considering just how many people seemed interested in going to this party, you would need a LOT of snacks and drinks too in order to accommodate your party guests. You had quickly begun getting ready, brushing your teeth, taking a shower, and then putting on your favorite clothes. You then walked to the kitchen and made yourself some breakfast. Instead of waiting another day and risking not being able to get any more candy, you’d do that today and save yourself future trouble and stress… After finishing your breakfast you then quickly grabbed your phone and headed out the door, nothing was too far away in this town which is what you liked about it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

You could walk to the candy store with the slightest of ease if you wanted to, but of course you knew you needed to get a lot of stuff and you uh couldn’t carry all of that so you got into your car and drove off, heading down to the candy store first and foremost, drinks would be easier to get and some snacks would too but considering how close it was to Halloween?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Candy might be a little more… Difficult, you probably should have done this weeks ago but oh well, you just had too much to do and couldn’t manage, at the very least on the very first day you got your decorations put up and went out to go get your costume so that was taken care of.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eventually you arrived at the Candy Club and parked your car, quickly hopping out and honestly you were hoping they still had stuff left, you really should’ve tried to do this sooner, sure your friends would also be bringing candy, snacks, and even drinks but you wanted to be prepared just in case so you headed inside and well from what you could see they still had… A fair amount of candy left, it’d be enough for you

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Hello! What can I get for you?” You looked at the man behind the counter, his name tag read ‘Kevin’ on it… You walked further into the shop and after looking around for a few minutes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You pointed and told him what all you wanted, he nodded and both his friend whose name tag read ‘Rick’ on it and he got to work, packing your stuff into some bags, it took them a good bit actually but you were waiting patiently, after all, the party wasn’t going to happen tonight or tomorrow, after a bit they finally finished and Kevin spoke up

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“You got a lot of candy, are you having a party?” You nodded and took the bags from him and oh man they were heavy but you managed “Yep! Anybody who really wants to come is welcome, so if you want, you are too!” Kevin smiled at that somewhat but shook his head “Ehh, too busy with work”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You nodded at that and thanked him and his friend and then headed out the door, you did take notice how tired he looked, poor guy… Must have a lot to do, you felt bad for him in all honesty and hoped he wouldn’t have too much to deal with in the next few days, you then walked out to your car and placed the bags in the trunk, after shutting the trunk you were about to hop into the car before you got a chill, not a chill from the wind or anything like that but you got a sudden feeling, that someone was watching you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You turned around and looked, scanning your surroundings for anyone who might look out of the ordinary, then again… Okay, there were a lot of… Strange beings here but someone MORE so out of the ordinary than others, you saw no one however, just people walking past each other, wishing each other a happy Halloween already and or talking about Spooky Month and okay some of them were doing a weird but funny little dance which you chuckled at and then turned around “...Just… My imagination, that’s all, it IS close to Halloween after all…” You then got into your car and headed to the grocery store.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You arrived there and got some snacks and drinks, no problem there which was nice, after getting what you thought was enough …And maybe a little more just in case, after finishing that you quickly headed back out with more heavy bags and then placed those in the trunk along with the candy and then closed it, okay, you took a deep breath and sighed, that was finally taken care of and tomorrow you’d have a free day to just relax before the party so you were honestly thankful… You got back into your car, that feeling of being watched never came back, you were just imagining things, this season could put anyone on edge it seemed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You then began driving home, you still couldn’t shake the thoughts of that random feeling you got though, sure, you didn’t have it now, but it was so strange… So strange and so sudden, you shuddered and shook your head, trying to just focus on the road, and eventually you made it home, you sighed and got out of your car, you had to haul all this stuff inside by yourself, which would be difficult but you figured you could manage, you quickly got to work in hauling the bags of candy inside first and foremost, quickly placing it in the fridge and then heading back outside to do the same with the drinks.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

After getting everything situated and in place you then closed and locked your door and sighed “Okay… That’s done now…” After that you walked over and plopped down on your couch, pulling out your phone and texting your friends, telling them you got the good stuff and a few minutes later, they all began responding with a hell yeah, fuck yeah, or you got that good good!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which you chuckled at and replied a yep, didn’t wanna be caught slacking on those snacks, drinks, or candy! You and your friends texted for a while, talking about the party and making sure everything is in order, and then of course just goofing off and having a laugh as well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

After a bit you told them you were just going to go and relax now that you got everything situated to which they all replied with hearts, you smiled at that and then got up, walking to your bedroom to go place your phone back on charge, you still thought about that strange feeling you got earlier but you sighed in frustration “It’s just the spooky month! C’mon, get yourself together” You gave yourself a little pep talk for a few minutes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Saying that there was no way there was someone actually watching you! Everyone had gotten a little jumpy this time of year, it always happened and you were no exception… You then went back into the living room to watch some of the scary movies that were on today which was probably not a good idea after that feeling earlier but you wanted to enjoy Halloween as much as you could! And that’s what you planned to do, you also needed to relax before party night got here, you had another full day to chill out though so you weren’t too worried on the bright side.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The rest of the day and into the next was uneventful, you just did your normal routine the next morning, getting up, brushing your teeth, taking a shower, etc… It was uneventful and normal, you were just chilling on the couch, watching some TV, not scary movies right now but just more so random shows, until… You heard something tap against your window, this caused you to immediately sit up straight, almost freezing in place, you slowly looked over to the window and you could feel your breath get caught in your throat, the curtain in front of it made you unable to see the figure in full detail but you saw someone…

----------------------------------------------------------------

Standing outside, the figure was big, and the only detail you could actually make out was just the shadow-y shape of… Horns…? Your eyes widened a bit as you watched the figure begin moving, it was heading toward the door or so it seemed… You waited a few moments before slowly getting up, you looked at the door and bit your lip, you definitely felt more nervous now, what if…

------------------------------------------------------------------

That feeling you had yesterday, what if this figure had been the reason you felt like someone was watching you? You didn’t hear a knock at the door or anything, you had really hoped it was just someone pranking you, after all, it WAS the day before Halloween.

-------------------------------------------------------------

You slowly approached the door, shaking a little bit as you finally got to it. You reached out a hesitant hand but then paused when you finally heard a knock at the door, three heavy thunks… Before it stopped, all fell silent except for the sounds of your TV playing in the background, you looked up into the peephole but to your surprise, nobody was standing there to which you frowned at, you then swung open the door, you didn’t step outside however, just held the door open

----------------------------------------------------------------

“Hello?” You called out but there was no answer, until suddenly… Something jumped out in front of the doorway “RAH!” You screamed and fell backwards, falling right on your ass.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

And then suddenly you heard a burst of laughter, you looked up to see… It was just one of your friends, pointing at you and laughing “Oh man! I got you! Oh… Oh you should’ve seen the look on your face…!” They continued to laugh to which you glared at, you let them help you back up but then you punched them in the shoulder to which they held but were still laughing “Not funny you asshole! Ugh! You’re lucky I didn't call the cops on you for snooping around my house!”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 Your friend was grinning as they took the devil horns off their head “Oh c’monnnn (Y/N)~! Everyone’s entitled to ONE good scare, ya know?” You scoffed and then realized “Yeah right, ONE good scare my ass… if I didn’t know any better, it was probably YOU that gave me the feeling of someone watching me the other day”

----------------------------------------------------------------------

That’s when your friend’s laughter died down and they blinked in surprise “...Wait what?” You looked at them and huffed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

“While I was out getting the stuff the other day, I got a feeling suddenly, I-I dunno, it felt like someone was watching you, tch, lemme guess it WAS you wasn’t it?” Your friend blinked and looked you dead in the eye “I… (Y/N)... I was at home yesterday” You rolled your eyes and turned around to which they quickly responded

-------------------------------------------------------------------

“It’s true! I was at home all day yesterday, had no reason to go out so I just stayed at home, playing video games” You looked back to your friend, looking over their expression “...W-Wait… You… You’re serious?” Your friend nodded “I am deadass serious” You then tensed up slightly and looked down to the ground in thought.

------------------------------------------------------------------

But after a few moments your friend placed a hand on your shoulder “Hey… I-It’s probably fine…! It was probably nothing! Let’s just relax, and uh if you don’t mind, Imma help myself to some candy” Your friend then skedaddled past you to zoom to the fridge which you quickly chased after, repeating ‘no’ over and over until you slammed the fridge door shut

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Aww c’mon (Y/N)! Just a little piece, come onnnn~” You chuckled at that but it was a dry one “After the scare you just gave me? You don’t even deserve one! And besides, you’re waiting until tomorrow like everyone else!”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Your friend feigned a hurt expression, placing an arm to their head and posing dramatically “Oh you wound me so… You’re just n o fun…!” You laughed at that and began dragging them away from the fridge “Keep it up and I won’t even let you have any tomorrow either” Your friend gasped, mock hurt evident on their face but they groaned “Fiiiiineee…! I’ll behave” They laughed and then walked over, plopping down on your couch and you sat down beside them “Sooo, you excited for the big night tomorrow?”

----------------------------------------------------------------------

They asked to which you smiled and nodded “Yep! A… A lil nervous but it’ll… It’ll be fun” Your friend nodded at that and ruffled your hair “Of course it’ll be fun! You’ll forget all about that nervousness tomorrow night when you’re having fun! Halloween’s gonna be s o much fun, oh speaking of, since I’m not greedy unlike y o u~” Your friend reached into their pocket and handed you a piece of candy “Happy early Halloween, you lil scaredy cat~”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

You scoffed but took the candy nonetheless “...Thanks, and alright alright FINE… You can have o n e piece” Your friend grinned and hugged you tight “I KNEW you’d come around~!”

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Your friend then shot up from their spot and ran to the fridge, grabbing a piece of their favorite candy and then walking back over to plop down on the couch, they took a bite of the candy and then grabbed the remote, turning the television on, the first thing on was a news report, the first report talked about a guy named ‘Dexter Erotoph’ and that there was no information about his location.

----------------------------------------------------------------

And then the next report was breaking news, the anchor talked about a cannibal serial killer named Bob Velseb that had broken out of prison sometime yesterday, he and two other thieves were on the run it seemed.

------------------------------------------------------------------

After the news anchor told everyone it’d be best to stay inside tomorrow, keep all your doors locked and windows shut until the Police can capture him again, and then of course he went on to say if you DO see The Devil Butcher, to call the police IMMEDIATELY, do not try to engage as he’s extremely dangerous which was obvious but still, after that you and your friend slowly turned to each other, both of you looked nervous, that much was obvious after hearing THAT.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

You then thought back to yesterday when you got that feeling that someone had been watching you and you shuddered, you really hoped it hadn’t been that cannibal “...I… I… Okay, I… I really don’t think we should um, throw this party” Your friend huffed “Oh come on…! We planned this for so long! I mean, besides, tomorrow is HALLOWEEN… (Y/N), I don’t know if you know this but even with the anchor saying to stay inside, nobody is actually gonna, they are gonna take it as a suggestion…!”

-------------------------------------------------------------------

You frowned “...Yeah I know but, this is REALLY serious! People could get put in danger!” Your friend rolled their eyes “Oh p l e a s e… That creepy bastard isn’t going to come to a house full of people! Unless he’s dumb as hell of course” You opened your mouth to retort but your friend shook their head

------------------------------------------------------------------

“We planned this for sooo long, besides, the police don’t…. HAVE to know if they ask any questions, we’ll just lie to them” You sighed “...Alright alright, fine, fine… We did plan this party for a long time and even with trick or treaters if any show up, there’ll be a buncha candy still go to waste”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your friend grinned and placed an arm around you “That’s the spirit, it’ll be fine! Besides, another thing, that killer could literally be MILES from here by now, he could not even be in this town anymore so just relax…!” They paused, looking into your eyes, they could see the doubt in your eyes even then, the hesitation to throw this party now evident.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

“Don’t let it bother you too much, and hey, if you’re thinking about that feeling you got yesterday, I doubt it was him, too many people wandering out and I’m sure someone would recognize him” You sighed and nodded “...I guess you’re right” Your friend nodded.

------------------------------------------------------------------

“I know I am! Alright though, I gotta bounce, I’ll see you tomorrow night~! Can’t wait for the big party, and if some guests actually don’t show up, don’t worry, I’ll make sure to put the rest of the candy to good use by the end of the night~”

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You rolled your eyes and got up and began shoving them out “Alright alright, you candy hog… Get outta here” Your friend grinned and laughed, they hugged you and then you said your goodbyes to them and they closed the door on the way out, you then locked the door and sighed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

“...Maybe I should’ve just said no …But then again… All my friends, everyone seemed so excited for this party …I-I mean, I guess they’re right… Why WOULD a killer come to a house FULL of people? He’d… Get caught too easily here…” You shook your head, you decided to distract yourself as much as you could before nightfall finally came.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You headed to bed and slept somewhat peacefully, you still kept thinking about two days ago, that feeling you had gotten of someone watching you, then the news announces a serial killer cannibal is on the loose, saying he escaped the VERY day you had gotten that strange feeling… Then again surely you would’ve just kept getting that feeling, he would’ve kept following you, maybe, you didn’t know, you just hoped Halloween night would go smoothly…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eventually morning came, you got up, did everything you normally did in a day, your normal routine, and all that was left to do now was wait until nightfall tonight, you still felt nervous, on edge, you even wondered with yourself if you should just go ahead and cancel the party entirely.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you thought that, all your friends texted back, saying how excited they were for tonight. You faintly wondered if any of them even heard about the news report aside from the friend that visited you the other day… Either way you saw them all hyped and excited and it put a smile on your face.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

You texted them back in excitement too, hiding your nervousness… For a good half of the day, you spent it texting your friends, just goofing off and having a laugh, sending some funny videos.

------------------------------------------------------------------

After that you then let your phone charge up and just decided to sit and watch some horror movies for the next few hours, trying to get yourself in the spooky mood, you did look out your window by evening time and okay yeah, literally nobody had taken that into account.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

There were so many people out already… You sighed and decided not to worry about it anymore as you then went to get ready, you got the candies, snacks, and drinks out first and foremost and placed the drinks into a few coolers you had set up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Next you put on the costume you had picked out for yourself, after looking over yourself in the mirror you smiled, you looked so cool! And now all that was left to do was wait for it to get dark… Come 6:30 PM, your friends had arrived, all of them greeting you happily and giving you a hug to which you hugged back, your friends aka the bestest friend group you could ever ask for truth be told, you honestly had no idea what you’d do without them, they complimented your costume and you complimented theirs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

You helped them get their candies, snacks, and drinks out as well and then the rest of you just talked until it was time for the party to start. Some of your friends had brought their own music too, all spooky themed of course… And then at 7:00 PM, it had already become dark, there was a knock at the door and literally a lot of the guests had shown up right then and there which you welcomed happily, and that’s when the party started fully, now that there were enough guests, sure more would be arriving but you had plenty of candies, for guests and trick or treaters alike.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Your friends had put on some spooky music to set the mood and all was ready to go, this party was actually a costume party to be more specific so the guests that arrived had their costumes on of course, they all looked so cool, sure there were a few that had a similar costume on but oh well.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

That was to be expected! You had put the horror movie marathon on as well just as a little added effect, you mostly hung around your friend group because despite wanting to have this party… You were still… Rather awkward around strangers.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Eventually as time passed more and more guests showed up, and of course some trick or treaters which you happily handed candy out too and wished them a Happy Halloween, really it didn’t seem like anyone had listened to that news anchor so you didn’t worry about that anymore, besides, you didn’t have time to worry, what with all the guests that arrived, everyone had arrived by 8:45 PM, it wasn’t going to be the BIGGEST party ever as your house wasn’t the biggest, grandest sight but either way, after all the guests were here, you could relax more so.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your friends had helped you host the party, as they knew you couldn’t do it all yourself of course, they went around, asked if everyone was having a fun time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Which for the most part it seemed like it, but oh m a n was it still incredibly loud in here, what with all the music, movies playing, and of course people talking, it was… V e r y loud… You were the one to ask your friends if THEY were having a good time which they all responded with a very cheery yes, and then eventually you heard another knock at the door, it was more trick or treaters so you grabbed the bowl of candy and handed each of them a few pieces of candy, they thanked you and wished you a Happy Halloween, you smiled and wished them one as well.

------------------------------------------------------------------

You watched as they left, heading down the sidewalk to more houses and before you shut the door, something caught your eye… You looked to the other side of the street and you saw… Something? …No… No that was a person, there was someone standing, underneath a light post, your eyes widened as you noticed he were not only just standing there but he were staring directly at you, he had a red turtleneck on from what you could make out, black pants and boots, and then finally he had a red devil mask on…? You could see horns at the very least but what unnerved you the most…

----------------------------------------------------------------

Were those eyes and that grin, his grin was far too wide, it didn’t look natural at all… And his eyes bore into yours, you shivered uncomfortably, whenever you blinked however, you noticed the figure was no longer there, he had… Vanished…? …This made you question if you were just seeing things, you jumped and yelped when one of your friends came over and placed a hand on your shoulder, they quickly retracted their hand and put them up in defense “Woah woah! Hey hey… It’s me, it’s just me (Y/N)...! J-Jeez, you are… Jumpier than usual, what’s wrong…?”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

You looked at them, you were still noticeably shaking “T-There was a guy outside...!” Your friend raised a brow “Well duh, it’s Halloween, everyone’s out!” You groaned in frustration “No! I-I saw someone standing, by the light over there… He… He was huge, he had like a d-devil mask on and… And… That g-grin… His e y e s…”

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your friend gently held your shoulders and ushered you away from the door and closed it with one hand “Hey hey… It’s okay, it’s probably just someone trying to scare everyone, you know how people are on Halloween” You shook your head “N-No… This felt… Different, he… He” You then sighed “…N-Never mind…”

---------------------------------------------------------------

“Just um go, k-keep having fun… I’ll be fine” Your friend looked concerned “...Are you sure? Because I can stay with you if you need me to, you… You do look pretty shaken up after all” You smiled and shook your head “I’ll be fine… I promise, I just… Y-You’re probably right, it probably is just someone trying to uh… Scare others” Your friend smiled and nodded “Yeah, that’s all, you know how people get this time of year, it’ll be fine! I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about! But seriously uh if you need, you know where to find me” You nodded and thanked them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

And then your friend headed off and you looked down “...H-Heh, th… They’re probably right…” You then looked back at the door and peeked out of the peephole really quickly but there was nothing there, so you sighed and just tried to relax, to calm your nerves, you walked over to the fridge, greeting some of the guests as you walked past.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Who told you the party was awesome so far! They were having a lot of fun which you said you were glad they were, faking a smile so as to not let them see your nervousness, you then grabbed a drink from the fridge and took a few sips, it wasn’t alcohol of course although you all did stock up on that too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

You had sat down on the couch for a long while, just taking some sips of your drink, and looking down at the floor, no matter how hard you tried, you just couldn’t get that guy’s face out of your head… Those eyes, that grin… And then suddenly, the lights all went out, the music stopped, the power was… Completely out… And everything fell silent which didn’t help your nerves all that much, all the guests were asking what was going on and why the music stopped and everything and then one of your friends used their phone’s flashlight.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

“Ayo, chill out! I got this one! It’s probably just a breaker that switched off, I’ll be right back!” And then your friend quickly sped around one of the corners, they were heading down to your basement, you were going to offer to go with them but they had taken off before you could even say anything really, everyone had just been silent, waiting for the power to come back on.

------------------------------------------------------------------

It took a little bit but eventually, suddenly, everything kicked back on, to which the guests and the rest of your friends cheered and the party resumed like normal, you just continued to sit there for a long while, just finishing your drink and then tossing it in the garbage bin.

----------------------------------------------------------------

You had eventually looked behind yourself, to see if your friend had returned from the basement, looking over to the group you then got up and walked over to them “Hey… Have they come back yet?” Your friends shook their heads, saying they hadn’t seen them, maybe they were just goofing off, or preparing to scare someone who went down there and then you sighed “You’re probably right …S-Should we wait for them then?” Your friends nodded and told you to wait a little bit longer and so you did…

-----------------------------------------------------------------

You waited… And waited… And waited… “A-Alright that’s it… I-I’m gonna go check, just in case” Your friends nodded, some offered to go with you but you shook your head and then proceeded down the hall, you grumbled “This is no time for pranks… A-Already on edge enough…”

-----------------------------------------------------------------

You continued heading down until you stopped and turned toward your right, you then reached out a hand, but for some reason you hesitated, you had a strange feeling in your stomach, not only was there a sense of nervousness but you felt… As if something were wrong, they hadn’t come out at all, and it had been maybe ten to fifteen minutes already, you took a deep breath and opened the door and called out “Are you alright down there?” …No response, which worried you even more

-------------------------------------------------------------------

“Hey! C’mon now, this is NO time for pranks…! I swear if you scare me, I WILL lock you in here…! Y-You know I’m already on edge…!”

-------------------------------------------------------------

…Once again, no response so you sighed and began walking down the stairs, grumbling to yourself and just ranting and raving really “You know you REALLY need to learn when to scare someone and when n- no… nahhh… n-nooo…”

-----------------------------------------------------------------

You began repeating as you got to the final step and fully looked into the basement, trying to get out the word ‘not’ but failing every time, your eyes widened in horror at what you saw and you let out a full on scream, nobody would hear you of course, as the music, movies, and everything blaring upstairs would prevent that…

--------------------------------------------------------------

What you saw made you feel absolutely sick to your stomach, there, on the ground… Lay your friend, blood was pooling out of several wounds… You rushed over as quickly as you could.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Shaking hands grabbing at them “O-Oh my god… O-Oh my fucking god…” From the looks of it, they had been stabbed several times, over and over again, you could see stray tears but their eyes were devoid of any sort of life, the blood was soaking your hands and clothes but you didn’t care

-----------------------------------------------------------------

“Oh god…” You called out your friend’s name over and over again, hugging them close “Nooo… No no no nonono… Wh-Who could’ve…” And before you could even finish that sentence, you looked over to the stairs leading into the basement, after all, this basement COULD lead outside.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You felt your breath hitch in your throat, eyes as wide as they could be at what you saw… On the bottom step… Was the exact same man you had seen not even that long ago, a pleased grin on his face, manic eyes looking over you and your dead friend, he had a knife in his hand and something else, he placed the knife against it and it made an awful sound, he was… Sharpening it and that’s when you released your friend and began to back up, terrified sounds leaving your throat involuntarily as the man began approaching, his heavy footsteps echoing loudly throughout the basement.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

You had tears pricking your eyes, especially when you saw him salivate, that’s when it hit you… This… This was… …O-Oh… Oh f u c k… This was that cannibal guy that had escaped from prison, this was that Bob Velseb guy… It had to be! He slowly approached you and you kept backing up, you heard something fall from your pocket and it was the piece of candy that your beloved friend had given you.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The one that lay cold and lifeless on the basement floor before you… You noticed the man’s eyes flickered to the candy and then he began walking normally, you screamed and began running up the stairs as he went for the candy, eating it, wrapper and all.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You scrambled up the stairs as fast as you could, once getting back up them, you slammed the door closed and locked it behind you “(Y/N)...? Wh-Wha… Oh my god…! I-IS THAT BLOOD?!” One of your friends cried and rushed over, checking over you for any injuries but you quickly shoved them aside “R-RUN! RUN NOW…! H-HE’S DOWNSTAIRS!”

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Your friend asked who but there question was quickly answered as the door was broken down in an instant, and before your friend even had time to run, the man grabbed them, they screamed and thrashed around as he held them in the air with o n e hand.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Your eyes widened and you screamed out your friend’s name but you couldn’t even rush over in time to do anything about it as the man sunk his knife right into them, they let out a yell of pain, mouth falling agape as they slowly looked him in the eyes, he locked eyes right back with them and then slammed them against the wall.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

They cried out in pain as he sliced open a part of their costume, he then looked back at you, a massive grin across his face before looking back and sinking his teeth into their arm, they screamed in pain again, trying everything in their power to fight against him, hitting and kicking with all their might.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You ran over and proceeded to kick him between the legs which he grunted at, he did shove you away and down before stumbling back and clutching his privates, your friend cried out for you to flee, to not worry about them, to save yourself and the others, you argued and bickered with them for a moment before Bob had stood back up fully and oh he looked… Angry more or less.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

He grabbed at your ankle to which you cried at “Nonononono!” You screamed and kicked at him, you managed to kick him away before scrambling back up and to your feet, it was clear he had no interest in even going back for your friend, he was fixated on you now, that much was clear as you fled down the hallway, tears in your eyes, you scanned the room, you noticed everyone’s gaze shifted to you and one guest even seemed confused.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

“Why… Are you covered in blood? Is this… Some kind of show? I don’t remember you tal-” Before they could finish their sentence…

------------------------------------------------------------------

You ran over to them and told them that they all needed to run, that there was a killer in the house! Everyone stiffened for a moment, if it weren’t for the music and movies blaring, it would have gone completely silent, it stayed this way for a few minutes, you heard pained sounds moving through the hall and you snapped your head over, you saw your friend struggling to crawl out of the hallway, they were crying in pain and trailing some blood everywhere.

--------------------------------------------------------------

“Y-You all need to r-run…! O-Or call th-the police… O-Or something… H-Hurry before he get- Glk!” They were cut off, you heard the sound of a knife being stabbed into their back…

----------------------------------------------------------

And then they went completely limp, and then you heard the footsteps coming out… And you saw… H i m, your eyes widening, especially when his found you, a grin creeping on his face “You’re Next!” He pointed his knife at you, and honestly it was clear he was adding a…

--------------------------------------------------------------

Dramatic undertone to his voice…? You were confused until you heard the crowd clapping “Wow! That looks so real…! Man, we didn’t know you had a show planned for us…!” Your eyes widened, you realized what that bastard was trying to do.

-----------------------------------------------------------

“N-NO! NO! T-THIS ISN’T A SHOW…! H-He’s killed t-two of my friends! H-He’s going to kill us if we don’t call the cops!” Most of the guests just clapped and some critiqued your acting, you yelled out in frustration but then began running, you scanned around and spotted your two remaining friends and grabbed their hands “C-C’mon! We have to go!”

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Your friends were completely confused before you began dragging them along, heading out the door quickly, you could hear the loud booming footsteps coming your way before they stopped…

------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile… Back at your own house, Bob was in the doorway, watching you and your remaining friends flee before he quickly turned toward everyone “Now now, don’t y’all worry consider this an… Intermission of sorts… The… S h o w… Will continue momentarily~” The guests cheered and clapped and he just chuckled, how easily fooled they were.

. . .

“W-Wait! (Y/N)! S-SLOW DOWN…! JEEZ!” One of your friends spoke “Y-Yeah you’re hurting o-our arms…! Wh-What is going on?!” You sighed in frustration and stopped, you hadn’t heard the footsteps but you HAD got a long way from your house “W-We don’t have time for this…! T-That man…! H-He’s the cannibal serial killer! Bob Velseb! H-He killed… O-Oh god…”

------------------------------------------------------------------------

You collapsed to your knees and said he killed the others, he even took a chunk out of one of their a r m s… Your friends’ eyes widened at this, while you had broken down in full on tears, sobbing wildly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

While the guests might’ve been fooled, your friends sure weren’t, their eyes widening…

---------------------------------------------------------------

Filling with tears “H…H… W-What…?” You groaned and pulled out your phone, you were lucky you had grabbed it before the party started earlier and pulled up the news article that talked about his escape, showing it to them, they read over it and they gasped “O-Oh fuck… H…He killed our friends…?!” One of them cried, the other looking angry “Th… That bastard…!” You sniffled, clutching your phone tightly in hand, wiping tears away from your eyes as you tried to stand.

---------------------------------------------------------------

You were trembling like crazy, one of your friends was standing there crying, sobbing away in their hands, while the other consoled them “W-What do we do now…?” You looked down at your phone “I-I’m gonna call the police really quick…” Your friends nodded as you began dialing the number and then put the phone up to your ear.

----------------------------------------------------------------

You waited, and waited, and waited, and waited… And waited some more… …The phone just kept ringing, now here’s the thing, you KNEW there were only t w o officers on duty, that was a big issue in the town but the Mayor didn’t seem to care about fixing said issue.

----------------------------------------------------------------

…There was no answer, they must’ve been out… You yelled out profanities and just hung up and tried again, and again, and again and again and again… You tried so many times, your fingers typing against your phone in such desperation, t r y i n g to reach the officers but it was no use, that prompted your friends to panic more.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

You eventually just made a frustrated sound and shook your head “I-It’s no use…! Fuck! I-I can’t get a hold of them…!” Your friends shook their heads “W-Well how far are we from the police station?! M-Maybe we can walk!”

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Your eyes had widened again, your friends waiting for an answer until one of them looked up at you, they saw you began trembling worse than before and then their eyes widened as well as they heard the sounds of a knife… Getting sharpened, they looked to where you were looking at and then they two started to tremble, there, under another source of light, was The Devil Butcher himself… Same manic grin, hungry eyes, and sharpening his knife, after getting it nice and sharpened, he then flipped it before holding it in a stabbing motion and beginning to approach.

-----------------------------------------------------------

You quickly grabbed your friends and booked it out of there, the two actually running with you this time, you ran down the sidewalk in a panic, it had gotten super late so there wasn’t anyone out now, the trick or treaters had gone home, even so you and your friends did scream out for help, even despite knowing nobody was going to come to your rescue, the three of you continued down the sidewalk, not really paying any attention to where you were running, you all booked it behind an alleyway of sorts, you saw a door that said ‘Personnel Only’ you tried to push the door open yourself but it wouldn’t budge.

------------------------------------------------------

Your friends began trying to help, desperately pushing at the heavy door, after a bit you had eventually begun to hear footsteps in the distance, loud, echoing and thunderous footsteps, but they weren’t running… No, he didn’t seem to care much about running, after a few more moments with some crying and panicking, the footsteps getting closer and closer with each passing second, you had all managed to successfully push the door open and then quickly…

------------------------------------------------------------

You all closed the door as well, hoping he hadn’t rounded the corner in time to see you all do that, and after that you all tore out in different directions, not caring w h e r e you went just that you found a suitable hiding spot, one of your friends had ran and hidden in a room full of hanging meat, even despite finding it as gross as could be, the meat was big enough to hide them and they hadn’t had much time to figure out another hiding spot they supposed.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Your other friend had just run into a room and was looking frantically around, there weren’t many hiding spots except for some boxes by the corner so they took it, they hid behind the stack of boxes, and then finally you… You had run into a room that was probably one of the worst for hiding spots, it had a bunch of meat shaped like…

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Children? But… With a pumpkin and a skeleton head, you muttered profanities underneath your breath but you didn’t have any more time to try and find another hiding spot. You quickly stepped to the farthest part of the room, way in the back and stepped behind a bunch of those weirdly shaped… Meat things…

---------------------------------------------------------------

There were enough of them placed next to each other to at LEAST hide you if you laid down, so that’s what you did, you got in behind them and laid fully down, as flat as you could manage, the piles of meat were close enough together and tall enough to hide you, or at least you hoped… But oh man did it make you gag, the smell was atrocious…

--------------------------------------------------------------

You had hoped your friends had a good hiding spot too, meanwhile… Bob was approaching the door after sharpening his knife some more, he eventually pushed open the door and listened as it creaked, he stepped inside, knowing his footsteps had probably alerted his prey to his presence.

---------------------------------------------------------------

The friend that hid in the room full of large hanging meat had heard his footsteps finally, their eyes widening as they clasped a hand over their mouth and nose to stifle any noise, however as they moved, they had accidentally made a chain rattle, it echoed, very clearly which made their eyes widened and they stiffened up, not daring to move even a MUSCLE this time… They could hear it, growing closer, those god awful footsteps… They were walking right to this room… The closer he got, the louder they echoed, and then they heard those weird little tassels get swept, the footsteps stopping.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The only sound they could hear now was heavy breathing, it chilled them to the bone and they had tears in their eyes, they still tried to keep still, their body stiff as could be and honestly if they ever unstiffened from their position it’d hurt like hell later, they heard the footsteps slowly making their way into the room now, heavy breathing accompanying them, after he got presumably half way into the room, the footsteps stopped altogether …The only thing heard now was heavy breathing and it continued this way for a few moments more, until…

-------------------------------------------------------------

They heard the sound of meat being stabbed at first, their eyes widening, they heard a bunch of meat get stabbed a bunch of times, some getting sliced, and before they even knew it, the meat they had hidden behind unfortunately got selected, bad luck… They could feel the knife pierce right through their back and they couldn’t hold the scream that escaped their throat.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

This caused them to get down from the spot and they immediately tried to flee, calling out for help only to be caught by a massive arm, it choked them and they tried desperately to claw at it, to pry it from their throat.

-------------------------------------------------------------

They heard the man chuckle and he just squeezed tighter before placing his knife back in his toolbelt, they had managed to rear their leg back and kick him, again, right in the dick, he released them and they had fallen onto the hard floor with a resounding oof before trying to scramble to get away, before they could even get up, they immediately felt his boot slam down on their back and that took the breath out of them

---------------------------------------------------------------------

“I’m gettin’ REAL tired of y’all doin’ that!” He yelled at them, watching them try to squirm out from under him, he then looked toward their legs and got an idea, a wicked grin crossing his features.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Bob kept them pinned down under his boot before gripping at one of their legs, they screamed and cried out for help, their cries echoing throughout the building, they could feel him beginning to pull at their leg and they began screaming out in pain, thrashing around wildly, he... He was really trying to tear their leg off!

------------------------------------------------------------------

“S-Stop! Stop…! Y-You sick fuck…! You’re g-gonna-” And sure enough, the most god awful sound of bone being ripped along with flesh and tendons resounded through the building, their scream being the loudest it had ever been so far, in fact it might’ve even damaged their vocal chords they cried out so loud.

------------------------------------------------------------------

They couldn’t even speak at this point, they just kept crying, and screaming, the pain was unbearable and blood was quickly pooling out of the wound, tears were flowing down their face, they were still squirming trying to desperately get away as Bob grinned down at them, he did the same with their other leg with the slightest of ease, tearing it right from its space, they tried to scream again but it just came out hoarsely, nowhere near as loud as the first, they probably couldn’t have screamed that loud again anyways… Blood now flowing from two wounds as Bob then lifted his boot from their back.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Did you know… Many cultures consume blood for food and that includes humans!” He reached down, cupping his hands together near where their leg used to be, catching some blood in his hands as if it were water and then bringing them up to his face, he greedily guzzled the blood down, some of it getting on him, his clothes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

And then splattering on the floor and even on the other… Who was convulsing from the pain right now but trying desperately to crawl away, tears flowing down their face “H…He…” They tried to speak, only for their voice to catch in their throat, using their arms to try and claw their way out of the room.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Blood trailing behind them every inch of the way, and it hurt, it hurt so badly… The convulsions didn’t help and made it that much more difficult to crawl away but Bob watched this, tilting his head, a wide grin on his face, he watched with a sick sort of amusement as the victim tried to crawl away, they were slowly but surely making it out of the room

-------------------------------------------------------------

“Here, lemme help ya out” He walked over and picked them up, they couldn’t thrash around as much as any sort of major movement caused them more pain but they were still struggling to try and get out of his grasp as he carried them near the back door they came through and then he dropped them down.

---------------------------------------------------------------

They gasped in pain as they hit the floor with a harsh thud and then Bob backed off “...Let’s see if you can even crawl outta here, at least if you can make it out the door before blood loss takes ya” He chuckled and walked over “I’ll even hold the door for ya~” He held the door open, like he said, an amused look on his face, they glared up at him “G…G… Ggk… Go…” They began.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

“G…Go… t-t.. To… H e l l…” The victim scoffed, trying desperately to claw their way out, they could see it, maybe if they could at least get outside, they could call for help! The victim thought about you, and the other… Their friends… They just hoped the others had found some way out of here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

They struggled for a bit longer and as they neared the door, their vision had begun blurring, fading in and out… The amount of blood they had lost was beginning to affect them now, their struggles were slowing and hell they were even struggling to stay upright enough to crawl.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

They had only made it halfway out the door, not even being able to call out loud enough for help before they fell to the ground with a thunk, this made Bob chuckle as he picked their lifeless body up and then slammed the door shut again, he dragged them back to the room they had hidden in.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Blood was still pooling out of the wounds and creating quite the mess on the floor, and then he took the slab of meat down they had been hiding in and hung them up on the hook, he looked over his handiwork for a few moments before looking back at one of the other rooms…

---------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile your final friend, the only one left, had heard the screams, they were sure you did too… And they had to keep a hand clasped over their mouth to stifle their cries and from hyperventilating… They were already trembling as they pressed themselves as far back into the corner as they could, keeping as low as they could physically manage behind the boxes. They were trying hard not to sob or cry right now, they heard the loud thunderous footsteps and their eyes widened.

--------------------------------------------------------------

They were trying so hard to keep as quiet as they could, hearing the footsteps grow louder with each passing second made their heart rate gradually speed up, at one point they were convinced that their heart was going to rip out of their chest but then again, if he found them, it probably would quite literally be ripped out. The haunting footsteps drew closer and closer until finally, he entered the room they were in, he was literally right there by the boxes but he was looking elsewhere, they made sure to keep as low as they could, hand still clasped over their mouth, tears flowing down their face.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Bob stalked around the room, not as slow as before, eyes scanning over the room for any potential movement as he walked, knife in hand and ready… The last remaining friend eventually slowly got onto their stomach, making sure not to knock the boxes around or anything, and very much making sure they didn’t let out a sob or anything like that.

------------------------------------------------------------------

They stilled all movements when they suddenly heard running footsteps, their eyes wide in horror, had he found them? …They heard… Something getting stabbed on the other side of the room, over and over again so no, they took this opportunity to crawl out from behind the boxes, crawling to the other room where the exit door stood.

--------------------------------------------------------

Freedom is so close… Yet so far… They had really hoped at the very least that you had made it out already, that maybe you found another exit point, at some point they had stood up because he was still stabbing away, they tried to be as careful as they could as they stood fully up but their foot had winded up gently shoving a box, their eyes widening as they looked back and they saw the boxes moving and that’s when they booked it into the other room, they got in there just in time as the boxes crashed to the floor, hiding behind the wall momentarily.

-------------------------------------------------------

They didn’t want to be spotted just yet, but they knew at some point they’d have to make a break for the door, and they would be spotted then but they merely listened as the killer drew closer this time, walking directly over to where the boxes were and stopping, that’s when all fell silent, no sounds at all this time… The silence was deafening and the final friend h a t e d it even more so than hearing the footsteps… It lasted for a few moments and they were about to try tip-toeing toward the exit before suddenly, they felt something grab their arm and they screamed.

-------------------------------------------------

Thrashing and struggling around as the killer pulled them back into the room and threw them down in the corner, they let out a pained sound before looking up, locking eyes with Bob who was grinning down at them “Y’all are really bad at hiding… Ya know that? I could see the shadow, of your f o o t sticking out in the doorway~” They trembled and began hyperventilating, tears flowing down their face as they slowly stood up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

They tried to sidestep him on the left but he moved that way, and then repeated the same pattern on the right, the final friend was full on sobbing at this point “P-Please… P l e a s e…” They began, they could barely even get the words out but they started begging, desperately pleading with him to let them go.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Bob was grinning at them as he tilted his head, cutting off their movements anytime they tried, until at some point they just backed themselves as far into the corner as they could, anything to not be this close to him as they were now, he placed his knife away and then grabbed them by the arm.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

His claws digging into their sleeves and piercing through their flesh which they cried out at, he then began dragging them to where the exit was but then walked over and slammed them down onto the table where a meat slicer sat, he then switched it on and their thrashing becoming increasingly more violent.

------------------------------------------------------------------

“N-No!” They cried out over and over again, not caring that them pulling and tugging away only made his grip tighten and claws sink in further. That wide demented grin plastered onto his face couldn’t get any wide as he watched over their struggles before repositioning himself and then beginning to slowly drag their arm over to the spinning blade.

--------------------------------------------------------------

They screamed and cried out, trying desperately to tug their arm away, even trying to kick at him to get him to release them but he just wouldn’t, he was even purposefully dragging their arm slowly toward the spinning blade that could easily slice off their fingers.

------------------------------------------------------------------

“S-Stop! Stop stop! Please stop! PLEASE!” They tried to plead with him once more, even trying to bargain with him, offer him things but he still kept dragging them toward the blade, and then finally… Their fingers were the first to make contact, they screamed the loudest they had this time, the pain was excruciating and he made it so much worse when he began moving their arm side to side, they wailed and cried.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Thrashing and convulsing due to the sudden and intense pain they were in, tears pouring down their face as they just kept screaming, he continued this pattern until their hand was pretty much gone, stopping before the blade caught any clothing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

He then surprisingly enough let them go, they shot up from the table and clutched at their bleeding wound where their hand used to be, still screaming and crying, looking absolutely mortified by the sight of their own missing hand.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

They quickly hopped down from the table and tried to bolt for the exit only to get grabbed again which they cried out at “L-Let me g-go…! Y-You f-fucking m…. Mo… muh… Monster…!” Bob only brought them over to the other table and grabbed their other arm “Aww, now you’ve just gone and hurt my feelin’s~”

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The final friend’s eyes widened, on this table was a meat grinder of sorts and they tried desperately to pull back and away, apologizing profusely to him only to hear him laugh, a cruel laugh of course, he didn’t go as slow this time, they tried to fight him as hard as they could physically manage.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Trying to prevent him from sticking their hand in the meat grinder but it did no good, he was clearly stronger than them and he shoved it into there, keeping a tight and secure grip on their other arm, their hand was shoved into there, and then with his other hand, he grabbed the crank, the final friend begged one final time, even more desperation in their dying voice, they were already in agony.

---------------------------------------------------------------

“P-Please d-don’t… Pleeease… Please please…” And then he began turning the crank and the pain hit them immediately, they couldn’t scream any louder as their voice was growing more hoarse just like the last.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Not even a few minutes after getting their hand grinded, the final friend suddenly fell unconscious, their body going limp and this made Bob look down at them and he scoffed “...Goddammit… You were weaker than the others…!” All that pain and panic from having one hand sliced off practically and then another ground up must’ve sent them into shock.

---------------------------------------------------------------

…And cardiac arrest because when Bob pulled them away from the meat grinder and actually held their chest close to his ear, he hadn’t heard their heart beating anymore “...Fuckin’ pathetic…” He then tossed the final friend’s body to the ground but then grinned, feeling a sensation of pure excitement course through his veins “...Only o n e left now…” Bob then pulled out his knife and headed toward the back again.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile you had been laying there, crying, you had felt like such a coward… You heard your friends screaming and crying, their screams echoing throughout the building, and yet you just hid here… Listening to them, you sobbed as softly as you could manage and placed your hands over your face, you muttered out apologies to them, over and over again.

--------------------------------------------------------------

…Even if you had gone out there, you had nothing to defend yourself with, this guy was massive and clearly stronger than all of you had been, but did that make you feel any better even thinking that? No, you still felt terribly guilty.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

You regretted going through with that damned party, you should have just told your friends that it was off, that you all needed to just cancel it, you shouldn’t have given in so easily, you should have tried to argue, but you didn’t, and now… Now…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

You then went completely still and froze, eyes widening when you finally heard those footsteps approaching this room, after all, this was the last room he hadn’t checked yet, you kept repeating ‘no’ over in your head, you slapped a hand over your mouth and stifled any noise the could’ve came out, looking around from where you lay for something, ANYTHING to maybe use against him… You then got an idea and grabbed a handful of meat with your free hand, it was mushy and gooey and it felt so nasty to hold but you’d take ANYTHING at this point and you kept as flat as you could against the floor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

You heard the large iron door open and then close, you tried your hardest not to tremble, you didn’t want to risk the piles of meat falling over or anything, you heard him walk into the room and then stop.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Ya know… All yer friends are dead already, you’re the only one left now, and I k n o w ya gotta be here in here somewhere~” There was a pause before he chuckled.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

“You were m i g h t y cowardly, to just let them die like that, ya could’ve came outta hiding and t r i e d to save ‘em but you didn’t… You just hid, while your friends s c r e a m e d and c r i e d out for help~”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

His words cut deep, sure, not as deep as that knife would if he found you but still, you already had tears rolling down your face and this situation was helping, in all honesty, you had wished this was just some nightmare that you’d wake up from any second and things would be normal again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

That your friends weren’t dead, that you were just at home, sleeping in, and having a horrible nightmare but this wasn’t just happening in your head, no, your friends had been butchered and you were next on the chopping block.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Bob began walking closer, you could hear him getting closer so you readied your hand, ready to throw this disgusting stuff right into his eyes, you didn’t have to wait long as this room wasn’t big at all, he crept over to exactly where you were hiding “There’s nowhere else for you to go~ This room’s a dead end, more specifically… YOUR dead end”

------------------------------------------------------------------

He then leaned over, looming over you, his shadow engulfing your entire frame “...FOUND YOU!” And then before he knew it, you had tossed the meat directly at his face, it got into his eyes and he yelled, stumbling backwards slightly.

----------------------------------------------------------------

This allowed you to get up while he was wiping at his eyes, he was swinging his knife randomly, trying to hit you despite not being able to see at the moment, you had managed to get past him for the moment, you quickly began prying open the door, it was so much heavier than the wooden door had been which made things difficult but you did manage to get it cracked open before he grabbed you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Trying to pull you away from the door, you kicked and thrashed at him “Fuck you! Let me go! You sick fuck!” You screamed and yelled profanities at him, even when he had pulled you off of the door, you began trying to bite at him, claw at him even, it was clear you weren’t going to go down without a fight.

-------------------------------------------------------------

You had managed to knock his knife out of his hand at the very least, and you could tell he was getting very frustrated with you, using both hands to grip at your throat now, you gasped for air, clawing at his hands and arms, you were going to try and kick him again like you had the previous times but he seemed to catch onto that before you managed and he threw you back against the wall.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

You leaned your head forward and your back connected against the wall which you cried out in pain at, you had slumped down for a moment, the pain becoming very intense very rapidly in your back but you couldn’t just lay here, you slowly and wobbly stood up despite how much pain you were feeling.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Your eyes widened however when you saw a shadow engulf your frame once more, you eyes slowly trailed up toward large man looming over you, you felt yourself trembling even more so as he pushed you up further against the wall.

--------------------------------------------------------------

He was going to make sure you had no chances to slip past him, not this time, and he placed the knife against your throat “Kick me, and I’ll slit your throat right now” He warned but it probably wasn’t necessary considering that you didn’t even think you could kick right now, not this time, you felt like a deer frozen in headlights, just staring up at him…

----------------------------------------------------------------------

That wicked grin crossing his features and you could see him beginning to drool, the drool dripped down from his chin and onto you which you cringed at, he had fallen silent after the threat, just staring down at you with a hungry look.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

You could hear his heavy breathing and he reeked, he smelled of blood and death and it nearly made you gag right then and there, but you had to remember to be as still as you could so the knife didn’t cut into your throat, after a few moments he took the knife away and you had accidentally slumped down now, your trembling legs had just buckled from underneath you but he only followed, proceeding to kneel down, practically hovering over you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Drool just piling onto your costume at this point, it felt disgusting, you felt disgusting… You couldn’t help the heavy sob that escaped your throat, it was just so sudden, you couldn’t even control it as you looked down, trying to look anywhere BUT him, you had even squeezed your eyes shut.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

“P-Please… J-Just let me go… P-Please don’t ki… Kill m… a-ah…!” You were startled when you felt a claw underneath your chin, your eyes immediately shooting open when the claw dug into your skin which had also made you wince but you were forced to look up again, forced to look at him, demented grin, hungry eyes, and all…

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You whimpered slightly when he opened his mouth, hot breath ghosting across your face which made your stomach turn “Aah… There’s a reason I haven’t eaten any of your friends yet, only had a bite of one of ‘em to tie me over… ‘Til I got the m a i n course~ I’ve been wantin’ to get a taste of y o u for the last few days now~” You only continued trembling at that to which he tilted his head at.

------------------------------------------------------------------

“Aww, nothin’ more to say, darlin’~? Where’s all that energy ya just had a moment ago, where’s all that desperation, that fight gone off to? Yer just shakin’ like a leaf now and I ain’t even done nothin’ to ya yet! Haven’t sliced any bits of you off, haven’t torn any limbs off, bit into ya, nothin’!”

------------------------------------------------------------------

And then he chuckled, leaning in closer which made you whimper again and you tried to back away, trying desperately to just sink into the wall but there was nowhere left for you to go, you just wanted to get away from him in any way you could but this time, there WAS no escaping him, there was NO way out of this one, you couldn’t even get up with him hovering over you like this.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

“Heh… Did you know if you eat a human brain you’ll get a disease similar to Mad Cow?” You were confused by that, what the hell was the point of telling yo- Before you could finish that thought he suddenly grabbed your arm, you cried out when you felt his claws digging in, he wrenched your arm in a painful position to which you cried out at and then placed the knife against your skin.

------------------------------------------------------------

Your eyes widened and you squirmed a little but he just laughed “The more ya squirm, the more it’ll hurt~ But by all means, go right ahead~” Bob then wasted little time in cutting deep into the flesh which you screamed out at, you knew it caused you more pain but you couldn’t help but thrash about.

--------------------------------------------------------------

You could feel the knife slicing through your skin with the slightest of ease and it was excruciating, it was a burning kind of pain, your blood flowing out of the gaping wound by the time he was finished slicing off a good chunk, he then placed the knife against your throat again.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Just to make sure you wouldn’t move while he indulged himself, his drool dripping onto the floor as he held your flesh to his lips, taking a slow bite and he shuddered which almost caused the knife to pierce your throat, you were just crying and sobbing uncontrollably at this point, looking at your open wound with a mortified expression.

----------------------------------------------------------

You heard the gross sounds as he chowed down on the chunk of flesh he had taken out of you, and that nearly made you vomit right then and there, a combination of drool and blood now mixing onto the ground, he was trying to savor the taste it seemed, his eyes were even half lidded after he finished the piece.

-----------------------------------------------------------

He sucked the blood off of his fingers and then licked his lips afterward, turning back to you, he looked pleased “You know… I was gonna wait til I got a chance to cook ya up… But d a m n… If you don’t taste good just as you are~ So sweet, tender and delicious~ I… Mmm… I just can’t wait, I… N E E D more!”

--------------------------------------------------------

And before you knew it, your other arm was grabbed, you cried out and begged him to stop as if that would do any good, you knew it wouldn’t, but you just wanted the pain to stop, he placed his knife away this time much to your surprise but what he did this time was much worse, he had brought your arm up to his mouth, drooling wildly on it before sinking his teeth into your flesh.

----------------------------------------------------------

You screamed out and tried to kick at him, trying to kick him away and or pry your arm away from him, just something, ANYTHING to escape, you felt the teeth digging deep into flesh and then he began tearing away at it, eventually tearing away a decently sized chunk and swallowing it down greedily, he didn’t even try to savor anything meanwhile you were just shaking, even convulsing perhaps due to the agony you were in, you went limp in your spot, just sobbing and crying, your tears spilling onto the cold floors, mixing and mingling with the blood.

---------------------------------------------------------

Bob was covered in blood and drool at this point, red strings dangling from his mouth and you could see little bits and pieces around his mouth, he looked down at you, manic eyes just watching over your crying and bloodied form, that big grin that would forever haunt you, the one that haunted all your friends before they met their untimely demise.

--------------------------------------------------------------

You didn’t even try to fight back this time as a clawed hand cupped your face, thumb dangerously close to poking out your eye which you wouldn’t have been surprised if he did but he didn’t, he just stroked your face in a sickeningly sweet manner.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Before his hand moved up to your head, wiping the sweat from it and then trailing further up to grab at your hair, he was oh so gentle as he tilted your head back, you couldn’t even fight at this point, too exhausted from all the struggling beforehand and the overwhelming pain coursing through your arms right now, he only chuckled at this “Oh I just can’t get enough of you~”

------------------------------------------------------------------

He cooed as he came closer, mouth nearing your throat, you squeezed your eyes shut as soon as you felt his hot breath ghosting over your neck, drool seeping out and onto your skin, he stayed this way for a few moments before you weakly spoke up “J-Just… F-Fucking do it… Y-You… You pussy…”

---------------------------------------------------------------------

You were about to scream but it was caught when you felt teeth sink deep into your throat and then… Your eyes shooting wide open as your throat was practically ripped out, after this, your body convulsed more, blood gushing out and making even more of a mess on the floor.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

You had made some choking sounds for a moment until your body started to go limp and your vision began growing dark… The last thing you saw before the life fully drained from your eyes was that horrifying grin, full of your own flesh between his teeth…

. . . . . .

BREAKING NEWS: The Devil Butcher Strikes Again! Approximately two bodies were discovered inside of (Y/N) (L/N)’s home last night after a Costume Party for Halloween was thrown, one found stabbed multiple times in the basement while the other was found in the hallway with some of the flesh missing on their arm.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the partygoers had reported it, they prefer to stay anonymous to protect themselves but they had this to say… And I quote

--------------------------------------------------------------------

‘’We just thought it was a show that (L/N) was putting on at first..! We didn’t know someone ACTUALLY got killed!” All of the partygoers had reportedly fled the scene in terror which is what prompted Police to investigate the scene, that’s when the bodies were discovered.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile two others along with (L/N) have been reported to be missing! There is no current information on the whereabouts of their location. . . The cannibal serial killer Bob Velseb is STILL at large…

--------------------------------------------------------------

No known information about any of the other victims or the killer’s locations at this time but we’ll keep you updated as soon as we hear any more information from Police.

I'm interested in Trigun after seeing your posts/reblogs and I'm wondering: what is the best way to consume such media and where could a person go about finding it? 🥰

oh FUCK yea

TLDR answer: trigun 98 -> badlands rumble -> trigun manga -> trigun stampede. going into why below. (under readmore bc this accidentally got long. again.)

ok well. common consensus is to watch the original anime (referred to as trigun 98 by much of the fandom) bc it has a slower start & lets you get to know the characters a lot more than the new anime (assisted by the 26 episodes length, as opposed to 12). it preserves the Mystery of what Vash's deal is for much longer, & is in general pretty entertaining to watch if you don't know wtf is going on. it's Legally on uh. crunchyroll? i think? tho i watched it here: https://aniwatch.to/trigun-266. just like. normal sketchy site safety, adblock is ur best friend, don't click on things. etc. if this site doesnt work for u then u could always google another.

there's a movie, Badlands Rumble, which is based off the trigun 98 canon, so probably a good place to watch it is right after that. just uh. be mindful that Vash's behavior is a Lil... obnoxious at points lol. but it's still a fun movie overall with plenty of good shit in it, so it's worth watching still. i watched it w/ a friend streaming it so i dont have a link onhand, but u could probs find it thru that same site if u search for it.

NEXT UP is my personal favorite, the manga. theres trigun original and trigun maximum, which is the direct continuation of the original (there was an issue with the publishers and licensing so upon continuing the manga w/ a different publisher, Nightow had to rebrand it. it's otherwise the same manga). i recommend this one next bc it's the most whole of story & goes deeper into things than the original anime, but it's also what the new anime is based on (aka why i recommend this one first). it can get FUCKED UP (they all can really, but trimax Especially) so probably look up a triggers list if u think u might need it. it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fucking good tho. genuinely owns my soul. i was a different person after reading it (not rly better or worse, mostly just more insane). there r a few translations online - an old fan translation (DO NOT TOUCH, full of horrid translations and insertions of bigotry that arent in the original), the official Dark Horse translation (an... ok translation, though it has plenty of errors and confusing translations. it's what i first read so it's Okay, but not the best), AND the trigun manga Overhaul project, which u can find on tumblr. this one's the best one bc it's lovingly translated and a LOT more accurately done. i swear things that were so confusing at first are So Clear reading this one. u can find the masterpost Here: https://trigun-manga-overhaul.tumblr.com/post/701392615591034880/trigun-ultimate-overhaul-masterpost-heres-all-the. or just go to their blog @/trigun-manga-overhaul. just trust me on this it's where U wanna read.

an offshoot of it (and what ive been reading today) is an anthology sort of manga, Trigun Multiple Bullets, which is also in that post. it was released as part of the BLR movie release, & the first part is kinda After It? but overall it's just a standalone piece with some side stories. where is this in the manga canon timeline? Who Fuckin Knows. just read it and have fun lol

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST is the most recent anime, Trigun Stampede. this is a CGI remake that aired at the start of this year & caused the trigun renaissance. now a lot of people have a knee-jerk negative reaction to hearing it's CGI, but trust me, this is basically THE BEST application of CGI in anime i've ever really seen. absolutely beautiful. fucking gorgeous. plus with really cool action sequences, and OF COURSE the music is literally one of my favorite anime soundtracks Ever. it's gotten critiques for its pacing, which can be pretty rushed, but they were trying to fit a lot more story in a lot less episodes than the original anime (again, it only has 12 episodes), so keep that in mind. it's not a remake in the traditional sense of redoing the exact same story, so there are changes in the timeline and characters from what's in the original anime or even the manga. one of the biggest things people were unhappy about is the absence of a main character, Milly, who is seemingly replaced by a random man that's not in the other versions, Roberto. Milly will be in season 2 though, as was revealed with the final episode. all in all, it's Kind Of a prequel, though also a remix/reimagining based largely off of the manga's canon over trigun 98. so long as you go into it not expecting it to be Just Like the other versions, it's a really wonderful story in and of itself. it's available on Crunchyroll, which you SHOULD watch there if u have it bc that would give them more money for a season 2 (which is in development). if ur like me tho n dont wanna pay for crunchyroll (it's Specifically a premium-only anime :p), u can watch it where i watched, aka here: https://aniwatch.to/trigun-stampede-18281.

all in all, each version has its strengths and weaknesses, but i've found the best way to go about enjoying All of them is to treat them as their own things. it can be fun to compare them, especially when it comes to things made Different plot or character-wise, but they are separate things. a lot of people who hate one or the other r coming from the angle of expecting one to be just like the other, & are then disappointed (trigun 98 being a Lot sillier at first than trigun stampede, which is a lot more serious sci-fi western in tone).

And Overall. i love them all. so i hope you do too!

#speculation nation #anonymous #ask #im gonna main tag this since i put some time into typing this out skldjfsldjf #trigun #so if any1 else is interested in getting into the rest of the series. this is a good general guide. from my pov of it #*personally* i went tristamp -> manga -> 98 -> BLR -> multiple bullets #bc tristamp was the shiny new thing that caught my interest. and the manga is what made me Stay. #the manga is what made me Severely mentally ill in fact. i cannot stress enough how good it is. #i am also someone who really doesnt care about spoilers. so tristamp giving away Big Plot Things in the very first episode didnt bother me #but especially for ppl who like a lil mystery to it. 98 is a good way to go #plus it's entertaining to watch vash be fucking Mental & not knowing wtf is actually going on #like 'we're doing This now? ok. ok ok ok sure i guess. this might as well just happen.' #but yea. i hope this helped :')

Book 3 FAQ!

Need to catch up? Heres all the previous FAQs 1 * 2 Heres the master post of all three books 1 * 2 * 3

Wow...you would think that with the whole pandemic that I’d get these chapters out faster. But alas this year got the best of me too. I’ve been a lil vulnerable in the tags with y’all and the check-in messages really touched me. So thank you very much to everyone that has checked up on me and enjoyed the chapters! I appreciate all of you :3 So lets roll out the questions!

Q: Who is Iwata based off? A: Iwata is based off my self-insert, which is also me. I know that sounds a lil narcissistic but it’s that real life reference that you’re a spitting image of your parent. Iwata was designed to look and act very similar to his mother based off that. What made him a little more original and not a copy of my self-insert is the tropes I added. I mirrored the trope of that of the relationship between Steven and his mom in Steven Universe; where he adored, then hated but then came to terms that he is not his mom but someone better. A whole journey of self-discovery and self-worth.

Q: The representation is amazing! How did you come up with these queer characters? A: Glad you liked them! Like I’ve said in previous FAQs and in the tags, all these characters were dreamt and I just build upon them in writing. So yes, most of my characters were created queer in my dreams but I make them more in depth by setting up how they discovered they’re queer. I did a bit of research on coming out stories and self-discovery epiphanies to have these characters more relatable so a fellow queer reader feels seen in a way. There’s already too much hetero works out there, I just want to gay it up in a respectful way. 

Q: The culture mixing is really good and consistent, how do you do it? A: For starters, I am latina. But the culture mixing stems from my knowledge about other cultures through language. I’ve been studying Japanese for almost a decade now and Chinese for about 4 years, so it’s no surprise that I’m referencing them in my work. Maybe what I depict isn’t what other half-Japanese half-Latinx families do, but it’s what I’d do if I started such a family. Plus there’s some overlap within those cultures and it makes it easy to put into writing.

Q: So. much. drama! Why is this book more dramatic than the previous two? A: Book 3 is were main on-going plot gets picked up more and shows signs of resolution. In book 2, it was to focus on not only Lili and the family dynamic but to remind the reader that life moved on with little resolve for the self-insert character. Iwata has a HUGE role in the resolution but in his own special way. And I’m not saying the answer is love...but it’s leaning there. 

Q: You reference specific food and snacks in this AU/ what are your favorite Cheetos? A: Like I said, I’m latina! Of course I write in the food of my home culture. Mainly the home cooked meals my mom would make for me and my siblings. It might not seem like much to the reader, but those simple meals add to the narrative of being home and traditions that help them embrace their mixed heritage. The reference of Cheetos are all over this AU because they’re my favorite hot chip. Naturally, my favorite Cheetos are the Hot con Límon with chamoy. 

Q: Love that there’s no canon character deaths in this book so far, but are there any major deaths planned? A: Just one but it’s not a tragic, hero fallen type death. It’s a natural death but it’s gonna be a tear jerker. That death won’t come until the WAY end of this AU, so I’m not gonna spoil anything yet.

Q: Can’t believe you predicted Dabi’s true identity. A: It was obvious tho. I didn’t really predict anything canon if you’re an anime only for BNHA. In this AU (without spoiling too much) there’s no Endeavor redemption and Dabi doesn’t cause that big drama on live TV. So if you’re an Endeavor hater like me, you’re gonna love what I have in store for them in the next book!

Q: I love Tenya being a dad and loving husband in this AU! Will we see more dad moments? A: Glad you like those snippets of dad Tenya! I love writing them for my own indulgence since there isn’t enough love for this character in the fandom. Plus I see a whole lot of consistent readers are Iida-stans and that makes me want to write more married fluff whenever I can.

Q: Beizu is best boi/Who is Beizu based off of? A: Beizu is the genius trope in this book. I made his character a more chill version of his mom but with that ‘who is my dad’ trope. Beizu is part of a trio that’s to mirror the agent trio of Ita, Jin and Mimi. The third member is yet to be revealed but they’re a BIG plot device in the coming book. But Beizu is one of my favorite OCs, maybe I’ll do a ranking of my OCs when everyone is introduced. 

Q: The villains and Hawks plot has me SHOOK! What’s going to happen to hero society when this case gets solved? A: Without spoiling it, the truth is going to expose the corrupt higher ups in hero society. The kids in the household has a part in taking down hero society as well but in their own, special way. Iwata has the biggest part in closing the case (but it’s spoiler if I say how), Lili and twins help tearing down minor things like education systems and laws. I will say though, the case gets resolved after the trio retires because Ita gets to return to America and found an heir to the company before they could draw to a conclusion. Which is a happy ending at the end of the storyline, no major deaths!

Q: Confirmed weddings? A: Yes :) because Lili and Iwata deserve good things and love. The twins have it easy in the coming book. Lili’s comes first and Iwata’s comes later than expected (can’t say why yet, gotta keep reading :3). I guess I can say that all of them get married but Lili’s and Iwata’s are the only queer ones. All the spouses that marry into the family take the Iida name, so Lili and Hanaka don’t change family names when they get married! Y’all already know those wedding chapters are gonna be lavish and take up most of the chapter, you’ll love them.

Q: But are the kids Joji stans? A: Oh jeez...they are the same way we like 80′s music. It’s pleasant to listen to but kinda cringe when you see your parents dance to it. I don’t really portray it, but the family digital library has all of Joji’s music in a playlist called ‘Sad hours Soundtrack’. If you ask Mr Muffins 2.0 who last listened to the playlist, they’ll snitch who and how many times it has been looped. That’s how Tenya knows who needs cheering up.

Q: I love the little references to their childhood, what else can you tell us about their pre-book childhood? A: As I said a few times in the tags, I cut a ton of stuff that isn’t relevant to the plot. Most of it was their childhood and how they manifested their quirks. Lili really liked to scream before she learned to talk, a very fast learner and at 3 years old got her engine quirk and later that year showed signs of a second quirk. Iwata was very quiet child, hardly cried or gets upset but latched on to mom a lot. His first words were in Spanish but struggled a bit with Japanese before entering kinder. Tensei was born first, then Hanaka followed 10 minutes later. Hanaka’s fire quirk manifested after the first breast feeding when she was getting burped by mom in the hospital. Mom likes to believe Tensei came out first to warn everybody that Hanaka can breathe fire. Tensei didn’t manifest his metal quirk until the age of 7, making him a very late bloomer. Though very different in personalities, Hanaka and Tensei get along and get very creative when it’s playtime. Up until the age of 5, mom would place Hanaka in kindling to get the BBQ grill or bonfire started. Hanaka has been known to randomly burst into flames as a baby, so Tensei had to sleep in a different crib for his safety. Tensei spent more time reading as a child because everyone was focused on managing Hanaka’s flames, thus making him a very studious boy.

Q: Not an AU question, but how are you doing?/ We don’t mind waiting for the chapters! Please take your time. A: I’ve been getting check ins and validation in my asks for the inconsistent schedule. Too many things came at me this year, both good and bad. I was doing well in speech and debate that I went to nationals and prepared myself for some serious competition, leaving no time to do chapters. Then I fell in and out of depressive episodes during lockdown where I’m from. In the summer my grandmother passed away from the virus in Mexico, then my beloved dog Mr Muffins passed away of old age. Those deaths hurt me and my family the most that I was having a hard time trying to cope plus trying to be responsible by adhering to CDC guidelines (I’m in the immune-comprised group). In my want to get over my grief, I trained and received my certificate in ordained ministry (yea I know that’s not the best first step, but I just needed to feel like I’ve achieved something being cooped up at home). I’ve very grateful that theres some readers that see the tags and check up on me. All your kind words gives me a little strength to write and finish every chapter at my pace.

Q: More art please? A: Yes :3 I have one coming up real soon! After the end of this book is where I’ll be releasing some art as a sort of place holder.

Q: Is the the estate drama eluding to the ending? A: Yup! And it will show up every now and then in the next book.

Q: This is a really good self insert AU! There’s complexity to your character and others...how do you write these interactions/relationships really close to actual ones? A: Thanks for the complement :3 When I first started this AU, I was in the middle of my semester of a creative writing course. Near the end of book 2 was when I finished the course work for it and by then you could see the progression in writing. ALSO, I’m a communications major as well! Writing these relationships and other social things were things that I remembered learning in my interpersonal communications class. I was a bit on fence on whether or not to start this AU because I didn’t think my writing skill was at all that good. With some encouragement from my classmates and friends, I pushed myself to write this whole AU out. I don’t plan on stopping until I finish the storyline, plus I hate leaving things unfinished.

And that wraps up this FAQ! Hopefully I got everyone’s questions since most were check-ins for me. But expect the last chapter for book 3 in the next few days. After Book 3, I’m going on a lil hiatus until the end of February. I have so many life events happening in the upcoming weeks that I’m gonna need time to recharge before resuming this AU. Y’all know I bounce back as promised, in the meantime, I have some art things queued to remind y’all that Book 4 is in the works. Only 2 more books to go! Thanks again for reading and I’ll talk you y’all again later in the tags~

-Love, Palma-sama
