Horror Fest episode one: Bitch, don't kill my vibe

This episode contains intense gore, bad language and clowns.

October was always my favourite month because of Halloween, call me insane but slasher films and series made me feel more alive. I had to leave to my hometown due to the murders happening there, I always wondered why it was happening, revenge? A mentally ill patient from an insane asylum on the loose killing off only high school kids? Doesn't really sit right with me let alone the gory photos of them found without their heads... My name is Rory Mitchell, a stubborn assed twenty-year-old detective who's going to find this killer.

2 weeks later...

"Mom, I promise that I will come back in a few weeks. My friends from high school invited me to a reunion." Rory confessed truthfully while driving his car.

"I know, sweetie. I just don't trust that small town you're headed to. It wasn't safe for everyone to be seen in the streets or partying at night. I don't want to hear my eldest son got murdered..." Emily said with sadness laced in her voice as she worried for her son's safety.

"Nothing will happen to me, mom. I'm a badass, remember that time I kicked the police guy in the balls because he wanted to grab me? I'm a savage." Rory laughed as he remembered that fateful day.

"Yeah, good old days. Are you going to find yourself a sexy boyfriend along the way? It doesn't help reading smutty serial killer novels." Emily giggled loudly as Rory stared blankly at his phone before looking at road ignoring the dead corpse he drove over.

"I got to go, mom. I just realised that I've forgotten to bring my phone charger with me, I'll text you when I'm there. Love you!" Rory exclaimed in a panic as he saw his phone getting very flat.

As the call ended, Rory sighed softy and stared at trees surrounding him as it began to rain heavily. His memories of Dark creek filled with a warmth he always longed for in his life, the dates he went on in high school, homecoming, prom, his first-time having sex with his best friend who was the most carefree man alive who didn't fear horror movies when they watched slashers on rainy nights. Good old days indeed. Rory wondered if his best friend was still staying in Dark creek...

2 hours later...

"Fucking finally bitch! You're here!" Teresa exclaimed insanely as she yanked me into her muscular chest.

"Teresa, babe. Go easy on him, he just arrived here from a ten-hour drive." Mikey sighed softy while shaking his head.

"It's okay honestly, you know how clingy I am. So, what's new with you guys?" Rory asked with curiosity and teasingly.

"I actually proposed to my long-time girlfriend as she said yes! They also built a theme park a few weeks ago and creepily enough... It only opens at night." Teresa confessed with a shiver as she saw clowns there too.

"That's creepy as fuck, but I love clowns. American horror stories made me love them! So, who's the owner?" Rory asked with amusement and curiosity.

"Some dude who goes by Kieran Dark, Hispanic and hot as lava. But he gives me weird vibes though, and I never feel those vibes ever." Mikey remarked with a shiver remembering how Kieran grinned at him.

"Well, hopefully I can make a good impression. I think I saw a boutique around; I'll see you guys at the theme park tonight?" Rory asked hopefully as his friends nodded with grins.

As he waved goodbye to his friends, he felt like someone was watching him. Rory looked around while cautiously glancing at the people around him, completely ignoring a masked stranger staring at him. With a sigh of relief, Rory finally found the boutique and entered the store.

"These outfits are not bad, I honestly thought that they lost inspiration or something." Rory remarked with a laugh as a sexy voice was heard behind him, startling him.

"That looks handsome on you, it's almost like it was made for you." Sexy stud confessed cheekily with a smirk.

"Thanks, and who are you? The mayor?" Rory asked teasingly which made the stranger stare at him with respect.

"I'm Kieran Dark, and you are?" Kieran asked curiously and in a creepy way.

"I'm Rory Mitchell, I actually heard that you built a theme park, they're my favourite. Thanks for adding the clowns too!" Rory exclaimed excitedly not knowing that Kieran was staring creepily at him with dangerous thoughts.

"I'm elated that you like it, Rory. I hope that you will be there later, the rides are amazing and worth it. Just make sure that you bring your friends with..." Kieran remarked huskily and with excitement.

A few hours later...

Rory headed to the theme park with excitement running through his veins, the rides were just as amazing as Kieran mentioned. But sadly, his friends couldn't make it which concerned him deeply knowing that they love theme parks. Shaking the negative thoughts away, Rory made his way to a cotton candy stand where a clown stood.

"Can I have one please? It looks delicious!" Rory exclaimed dramatically making the clown chuckle darkly at him.

The clown gave Rory huge cotton candy which contained something deadly in it, just as Rory was going to have a bite, a loud scream was heard!

"AHHHHHHH! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" A teenage girl covered in blood with her intestines hanging out from her deeply sliced stomach. I stared at her in shock as she collapsed, and her body remained motionless... I stared around me and noticed that everyone was dead with blood coming out their mouths. The cotton candy was poisoned. A sharp blade was caressing my arm as I turned around slowly...

"Run rabbit run rabbit run... run... run..." The masked killer sang creepily at me with blood covering his whole body, even flesh.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Rory exclaimed angrily as he stepped back clenching his fists.

"Run." The masked killer said as I began running for my life as he chased me with an insane laugh...

Welcome to Horror Fest, more terror and suspense is coming.
