Movie Night
Blood dripped down the blonde girl’s neck; the murderer was none other than the brutal Mayville killer. The intense music grew louder as the camera panned toward his face.
“This is the worst horror movie ever!”
Bailey threw a handful of popcorn at the tv. Her boyfriend, Vick, seconded her actions of shaming the horrible movie. He pulled her face close, stared deep into her eyes, and kissed her.
“What was that for?”
“I can’t just kiss my girlfriend?”
Bailey laughed.
She heard her phone beep; she stood up, looking around the room, trying to see where she had left it. It beeped again, and she saw the light shine from the kitchen counter. She made her way over to the comfortable size kitchen and saw texts from her mom. Her mom was checking in; her mom was superstitious, especially around Halloween.
“Who is it?”
“Just my mom, making sure The Mayville killer isn’t coming to get me.”
Vick laughed and pointed at the tv.
“Cute! So this guy is going to get you? She didn’t seriously say that… right?”
Bailey sighed.
“Yes… yes, she did”
“Unfortunately, my mom is just … really … really paranoid.”
“More like nuts”
Vick looked back at the TV but was in shock.
Bailey didn’t appreciate Vick talking about her mom; the town gave her mom enough criticism she didn’t need Vick to add to it.
“She’s not nuts!”
Bailey expected a response from Vick, but he just stood up and weirdly examined the tv.
“Vick? Hello?”
Bailey walked over to him and tried to get his attention. She waved her hands in his face.
“Earth to Vick!”
“I think something is wrong.”
“What do you mean? What are you talking about?”
“The movie is playing, but all the characters are gone.”
“What?”
“Look!”
Bailey looked at the tv intensely and realized Vick was right. The scenes and music played as if something was happening, but the characters were gone.
“Maybe it’s a bad copy.”
“What kind of copy does this?”
“I don’t know, but I don’t like this; it’s freaking me out, Vick”
Suddenly the TV turned off; Bailey grabbed Vick, and he held her tightly.
“I’m scared”
“Just relax; I’m sure it’s fine.”
The music from the movie started to play, but it sounded like it was throughout the house.
“Vick!”
Vick just looked around as Bailey grabbed him tighter. He didn’t see anything, but he heard massive footsteps coming from down the hall.
“What the fuck”
“Go see what it is.”
Bailey let go of Vick, pressuring him to check out the noise. He didn’t have to look far, considering as soon as he peeked around the corner he saw the Mayville killer. He couldn’t believe his eyes, he froze in place, and his eyes widened.
