Chapter 1

SCENE 1:

10:46 PM on Maple Street

4 college students are leaving a pre-game party to go to a huge frat party that most of the freshman class and a lot of seniors will be at

The 4 students laugh and joke around as they walk down maple street. They run into a crime scene that is duct taped off with bright yellow and black caution tape. The shady tall men in all black police type uniforms start walking towards them

"Hey sorry about this but we are going to need you guys to turn around and go back the way you came this area is blocked off as a crime scene." Officer 1

"Huh? But the party is literally the next block over that's so far can't you just let us squeeze through" Friend 1

"Sorry fellas I know you are out partying tonight, but we need you to take a different route the area is still dangerous maybe you kids should head in for the night" Officer 2

"Aww damn man it's going to take forever to get around can't we just..." Friend 2

The second friend tries to playfully slip under the caution tape, but A third officer appears from the shadows and grabs his hand very firmly.

The officer squeezes his arm tightly and gives him a stern look.

"No means No. So, turn around and head home." Officer 3

"Ouch man you don't have to grab me that hard you could have broken my arm." Friend 2

The friend rubbed his arm which as now slightly bruised and looks at the officer with angry eyes.

"Don't worry about it guys I saw an alley way back there that leads to the next street over. We can just take that street to the party." Friend 3

"Yea **** these guys, a bunch of buzz kills anyways." Friend 4

The officers nod their heads and walk back to their respective spots at the crime scene and watch the 4 students as they walk back the way they came and turn into the alley.

"Fuckin pigs, I hate them I swear." Friend 2

"Right but did something seem off about those cops they didnt look like regular police." Friend 1

"Yeah, their uniforms seemed kind of different didnt they..." Friend 3

Their conversation died down as they noticed there was a strange man sitting in the alley way

The 4 friends walked down the narrow alley way and suddenly encountered a strange homeless man sitting along the side of the alley cutting himself. He would slice his arm every few seconds as if he was purposefully trying to hurt himself.

"Is he cutting himself, Bruh should we be worried?" Friend 4

"It's none of our business just keep walking" Friend 1

"Are you sure the police are just right there, we could..." Friend 3

"Look just keep walking forget this dude I'm meeting my girlfriend at the party I can't be late." Friend 2

"Ok, ok let's go" Friend 4

They walk past the man slowly. The last friend looks down and catches sight of the man's arms, which were cut up badly and he was bleeding profusely. The last friend was about to stop and say something when the homeless man said

"Damn it, it's not working! Looks like I will have to go all the way " Homeless Man

The homeless man looked up at the nearest kid and smiled. He then lifted the butcher knife he had up to his neck and slowly pulled it across, slitting it open right in front of the students. Blood begins shooting out his neck like a water gun onto the last friends face and clothes.

He immediately begins to freak out,

" Guys What the **** just happened? Did he just kill himself? Should we call the police? WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" Friend 2

" Call the police... hell nah, there was no one else around and it will look like we killed him, let's just get away as fast as we can and forget what we saw." Friend 4

"Forget this.... " Friend 3

The 1st friend begins to throw up at the sight of all the blood. They decided it would be best to move on from here and leave the man to the police but just as they all turned around the homeless man's bloody corpse stood back up.

"Ahhhh much better, it seems like that was the catalyst" Homeless Man

The friends slowly turned their heads to see the man who had blood spilling from his cuts and neck standing there staring at them with a fiendish smile. The first friend immediately tried to run. He didnt say anything his feet just moved on its own. Before he could even leave the alley, a glob of blood dripped from the homeless man neck and floated into the air. The glob of blood shot towards the first friend at high speed and pierced the back of his head. He fell to the ground with a THUMP!

The other 3 friends stared at their friend's body with a hole through the back of his head. They were all left in shock.

The homeless man walks forward and puts his hand on the next friends' shoulders. The kid looks at his friend with a look of despair and sadness. He pops in a bloody explosion all over the last 2 who fell on the ground in fear

They crawled backwards begging for mercy.

"Please just let us go we won't tell anyone, please I just want to live." Both friends

"*Maniacal laugh* You want to live? Don't we all? *More Laughing* Sorry but what I want is different from what you want. Now I have the power to act on what I want; can you say the same for yourself" Homeless Man

The student fell quiet he knew what this villain was saying was true, so he stayed quiet.

"Exactly my point, those who don't have the power to act on what they want have no choice but to accept the decisions of those in power. A lesson you should have learned earlier in life." Homeless Man

He begins to walk forward leaving the 2 sitting there in shock as he walks by, he touches them both on the shoulder and says,

"Those who dream big need to have the power to back up that ambition, or they will never achieve their goals......this is a prime example.... hopefully in your next life you will remember that." Homeless Man

He removes his hands and continues walking.

They both sit there in shock waiting for their impending deaths.

Just as the homeless man turns the corner the blood on the walls and floor float into the air and ricochet off the walls and floors at high speeds shredding the other 2 students' bodies into pieces.

The homeless man continues walking in the direction that the 4 students were going. The man sees a huge party happening at the end of the street and smiles like a lunatic.

"And the night continues." Homeless Man

He says as he makes his way to the party.

The older man enters the party where hundreds of students were around drinking playing party games and chatting with each other.

He looks around and starts walking through.

Over at the bar the main character jasper, a 5'8 brown skinned African American, sat drinking a shot of tequila.

"Hey jasper I bet you can't get that girl's number?" Kato

"What.... you know me. I pull the hoes." Jasper

Jasper walks over to the girl who was standing on the dance floor talking to her friend.

"Hey how you doing" Jasper

"Huh?" Random Girl

"I said Hey how are you doing?" Jasper

"Oh, I'm good what about you." Random Girl

"I'm doing good I just saw you from the bar and thought you were really cute" Jasper

"Oh, thank you so much" Random Girl

"So, I was thinking what's up? Me and You .... Let's head back to my place and get to know each other some more." Jasper

"Sorry I have a boyfriend, maybe when I'm single." Random Girl

She turns to her friend who gave off a little chuckle and they continue to talk.

Jasper walks back to his friend Kato.

"Well? Mission success?" Kato

"Nope Mission failed. She has a boyfriend so it's a no go" Jasper

"You never know though until you try right." Kato

"Right......Hey who is that." Jasper

Jasper pointed towards a homeless looking man who was making their way towards the bar.

"I don't know I never seen him before. he looks a little too old for college doesn't he." Kato

The homeless man walked through the party. The girl jasper was just talking to accidently bumped into him on the way out. She proceeds to say excuse me, but the man grabs her hand and spins her around like a ballerina. At the end of the spin, he leans her back as if he would kiss her like the Spanish dancers do in salsa dances. The girl didnt seem so happy.

The homeless man says,

" Aww why so serious?" Homeless Man

 He spins her back around again and at the end of the spin the girl explodes into pieces all over. HER friend screamed immediately.

Jasper who was watching the entire thing stood there with his mouth open. HE couldn't process what he had just seen. People already began to get into gear, there was mass chaos, kids screaming and running trying to find a way to get out.

The homeless man stood their laughing maniacally, with his arms raised in the air.

He yelled amidst the chaos

"Let the blood festival begin!" Homeless man

At that same moment random people in the building started to explode or implode spraying more blood across the room. Blood was shooting around the room strangling, impaling, suffocating, and slashing people. Bodies were dropping left and right. Kato who as knelt behind the bar to the right of jasper, ran up and grabbed jasper on the shoulder.

HE was yelling at jasper, who could barely hear him.

"JASPER, WE HAVE TO GO....we HAVE TO.... -" Kato

A bloody blade swooped by cutting off Katos arm. He stumbled backwards blinking profusely. The pain must not have hit him yet because he was just staring at it. Another blade came through and cut off his other arm at the elbow and his right leg at the knee. He fell to the ground Screaming in pain. Jasper didnt know what was happening. He knelt down and got into fetal position. He layed there as the screaming and yelling went on. After about 20 minutes the sounds finally died down. Jasper layed on the floor stuck. The homeless man walked back through the scene checking for any survivors. He spotted jasper who was the only one who seemed to be unaffected. He walked over to him and kneel down.

"It seems as if you're the one who gets to tell the story." Homeless Man

He smiled

Blood dripped down his face and drenched his clothes.

But he smiled.

Jasper could not figure out why. What made him so happy? Why did he kill everyone? Why is he still alive?

The homeless man turns around and begins to walk away.

Before he could leave jasper yells out,

"WHYYY? WHAT DID WE DO TO YOU? WHY NOT KILL ME TOO? WHYYY!!!" Jasper

The man laughed and responded,

" Dead men tell no tales." Homeless man

That was it his only explanation and then he walked out. Jasper was confused he had no idea what happening, all he knew was that all his friends had just been killed, his best friend was shredded limb by limb and he was untouched.

None of it made since

Before this moment Jasper was scared of nothing, he considered himself the bravest of the brave.

But at that moment jasper felt one thing and one thing only FEAR.
