On her way home Jade repeated the witch’s words in her mind again and again. The victim will come himself to meet his demise. It meant that Joel was going to come after her, and during the time she spent with him Jade had already learned that he never threw his words out for nothing, especially if it was a threat. But when was that going to happen? Would the demon wait as long as needed? Jade was worried, but if Pumpkinhead was already summoned, he surely would wait for him victim, no matter how long it would take.
Jade slowly walked towards her place, smirking. She sure couldn’t wait to see Joel’s face expression when he faces a creature that will be doing her bidding. That will be fun, but a painful fun, as Haggis had warned. But Jade was ready. If she had to suffer physically, so be it. At least Joel will get what he deserved.
As she approached her house, Jade lifted her head to look at the clear night sky. She always loved to enjoy the magnificent view of stars shining in the depth of darkness, and the moon was full tonight, making the night even brighter. And that’s when she spotted something out of ordinary. A dark, hunched silhouette was sitting on the roof of her house, and as soon as it heard her footsteps, it crawled to the edge of the roof. At that distance Jade recognized the being as none other than Pumpkinhead. She froze in her spot, being afraid to move; her heart beating frantically in her chest. But her anxiety decreased quite soon as the monster obviously made no movement towards her anymore and had no plans to harm her. Pumpkinhead still sat on the roof, watching the woman and making quiet guttural sounds. Jade tilted her head, her curiosity growing stronger with every minute; and to her surprise, the monster returned the head tilting gesture and growled. Such sound would surely scare any human being at night, but Jade could unmistakably hear that this growl of his contained no threat in it. It seemed almost… gentle to her. Jade couldn’t help but smile, but the next moment she had a feeling like her stomach turned upside down and her heart skipped a beat again, but this time for another reason. The more she looked at the monster above her, the more she realized that he had his own plans for her, and it sure wasn’t death. That lustful glance of his, the movement of his thick, long tongue against the rows of sharp teeth… The way he looked at her made Jade feel… naked. She was glad it was night and he couldn’t see how red her face became. Or maybe he could see well in darkness, she wasn’t entirely sure. The heated tension among them was growing stronger, and Jade felt that if she continued standing there and staring at the demon, it might result in something she didn’t expect at all. It was becoming unbearable, so she just shook her head violently and rushed inside the house, locking the door tight after her. After all, he was summoned for a different reason, right?
Joel didn’t appear tonight which made Jade feel both peace and anxiety simultaneously. On the one hand, she was glad that bastard wasn’t here, as she couldn’t bear the mere sight of his disgusting face. But, on the other hand, the anticipation was killing her. She knew what will follow after Pumpkinhead’s mission is complete, and the thought of death awaiting her at the end was difficult to deal with. But it was her choice, and she was ready to accept her fate. She had nothing to lose.
Jade slept peacefully which surprised her a lot, considering what she would be going through in the nearest future. Morning sun shred its light around, and with that a new day began and nature awoke once again. As soon as sunlight got into Jade’s room, illuminating it brightly, she finally opened her eyes and yawned. The weather outside provided a good mood for the rest of the day, and Jade even managed to forget about Joel and Pumpkinhead for some time. All she wanted right now was to spend the day as pleasantly as possible, enjoying her life while she could. It might be her last chance.
As the day approached its end and the sky began to grow dark, Jade stepped out of her house. If Joel decided to come tonight, the first location he would go to would be her place. So she considered it to be a good idea to hide in a nearby forest to stay out of sight. And right then, just like summoned, the peaceful silence of the night was broken by voices. Jade felt her lips stretch in an evil smirk. It pretty much meant that Joel has finally come, and he wasn’t alone. He had his three friends with him, plus there were also female voices heard among them. So he has brought his new girlfriend with him and maybe some other friends of his did the same. Not like it mattered anyway. Soon all their pathetic company will be joining their ancestors.
Very soon.
Darkness has become Jade’s ally while she stood among the trees, watching the company of four men and two women. One of the men was Joel, she could recognize him anywhere and anytime; he was accompanied by a fair-haired woman around his age. Finally Jade could see what this Darla looked like and wrinkled her nose in disgust. She was more or less fine in appearance, but her behavior… It looked like she was ready to give it to any guy she saw. And Joel didn’t seem to mind at all. That man was seriously messed up. Jade could now only be surprised about herself, what she saw in him before; but it was only for her good to leave him. It’s better late than never.
Jade watched them leaving their two cars in quite a distance from her house and make a fire at the opposite edge of the forest that surrounded the area. She crept a bit closer to see better and listen to what they were talking about. Their conversation provided nothing of importance, but Joel glanced at her house now and then; and even in darkness, in the light of the fire hatred in his eyes was pretty visible. But Jade’s hatred for him was ten times stronger, and in any moment it will devour him and his entire company fully and without mercy.
While she stood in the dark and watched, a quiet sound of a guttural growl reached Jade’s ears. It came somewhere from behind and with every second grew stronger. The woman froze in her spot again, only tuning her head slowly to glance back. Pumpkinhead approached her in a slow, leisure gait. She looked into his grey, almost lifeless eyes for a minute or two and then whispered:
“Kill them. Kill them all.” She then turned to face the group and pointed at Joel. “But leave this one as the last. He must suffer.”
The monster growled again and passed her by, moving in the direction of his potential victims. Jade could only wonder how he managed to move so quietly, considering his size. She was indeed curios about how he was going to deal with each of them. She only had to wait and see.
After some time she noticed that Joel had separated from the group and was obviously heading to her house. Jade smirked, fighting the urge to laugh at that stupid idiot. He had no idea what awaited him. But in a few moments his slut of a girlfriend followed him in a distance. Neither of them spotted Jade in the darkness among the trees. And as soon as Darla passed Jade’s hiding spot, she heard bushes rustling behind her and stopped right there.
“Who’s there?” Darla asked, her voice betrayed the fear she felt.
No one answered of course.
Darla turned around, ready to run for it, but she had no chance to make even one step forward when something grabbed her from behind. She let out a piercing scream which didn’t last long, and the next moment her lifeless body fell to the ground where Jade could see it, with her throat turned into a bloody mess. Jade fell to her knees, clenching her teeth in pain and feeling her entire neck and part of chest burning like fire. She held to the soaring spots of her body and tried to breathe deeper, but everything remained intact. No blood or injuries were visible on her body. She felt just the pain of Pumpkinhead’s victims, just like the old witch said. She couldn’t see the monster tear Darla’s throat apart with his claws, but her death was quick, and the pain Jade felt also subsided relatively fast. Most likely the others were going to die in a similar way, so she wasn’t afraid to go through that. Joel’s death would be the most painful, as she wanted him suffer; and the demon of vengeance would take good care of it.
Joel had undoubtedly heard his girlfriend screaming, and so did the others. Jade knew they all would be coming to the source of the noise, so she hurried to move away from there far enough to stay unnoticed and not to lose the sight of the events as well. The sound of cursing and frightened talking was heard very well in the night.
“Who did this?!” Joel yelled in rage. “I swear if I get my hands on you, bastard, you’re dead meat!”
“Her throat… oh God!” a female voice exclaimed.
“Stay calm, Kim,” another guy spoke. “We mustn’t panic and think soberly on our next actions.” He crouched next to Darla’s corpse and illuminated it with his lighter to see it better. “I think she was killed by some wild animal.”
“How do you know that, Cody?” Kim asked, glancing at her boyfriend.
“Look at the wound,” Cody said. “Of course, I can be sure of nothing, but I can hardly imagine such wounds to be the result of some weapon. I can only think of one option – claws. And their owner seems to be a large one.”
“Large or not, it will be dead in no time,” Joel declared proudly. “Come on, we have to get to the cars.”
And right in the moment he spoke the last word, a loud noise that sounded like glass and metal breaking startled them all. At first no one understood what it was, but then it dawned upon them quite soon.
“Shit, it’s our cars! Come on!”
Joel ran the first, and the others barely could keep the speed. He was determined revenge Darla’s death, no matter who was the culprit. He totally forgot about Jade, the main reason he returned to this place, but when they are done with this mess, he would finish what he wanted. Right now there were more important things to do.
Just as he reached the cars, he stopped where he was, unable to believe his own eyes.
“Fucking shit on a stick!” he swore. “No! No, no, no, no! It cannot be!”
“What happened, man?” Andrew asked.
“See for yourselves,” Joel huffed, turning his face to the cars.
His friends came closer to the two cars they came here with and all widened their eyes in surprise and horror. Both doors at the driver’s side were torn off, the steering wheels broken, and the control panels smashed to shreds. The cars totally were not in a working order.
“What happened to our cars?” Kim asked. She was the most surprised by this event.
“I don’t know,” Cody replied, scratching his head. “I just know that we’re not going anywhere.”
“Don’t tell me that it’s some animal again,” Luke said, looking at Cody. “It can only be the work of a human being. I doubt animals are intelligent enough to do something like that.”
“Sure, you’re right,” Kim agreed. “I have a bad feeling that there is someone who doesn’t want us to leave.”
“We will leave this god damned place even if we have to walk,” Joel said, opening the trunk and pulling a shotgun out of it. “Let’s kill that motherfucker and leave at once.”
“I’ll be on the light duty then.” Cody took his flashlight out of the glove compartment. “It will be easier to spot him with the light.”
“Yeah, I think we’d better…” Kim began and suddenly widened her eyes in terror, leaving the sentence unfinished. In a matter of a second two large clawed hands appeared behind her boyfriend’s back. “Watch out! Behind you!”
“What…” Cody managed to say just one word when someone or something grabbed him and in the next moment he felt himself being roughly pulled up, making him drop the flashlight. Kim quickly grabbed it instead, shining it where Cody was pulled up and now screamed in the dead of night. That’s when the whole group froze in their spot, unable to move or make even a smallest frustrated squeak. A horrible pale-skinned creature with a long tail sharp as a spear sat on one of the branches high up a tree, holding the screaming guy in the air. Cody was kicking and undulating, trying to free himself from the creature’s grasp. But his pathetic attempts did nothing to help him in any way, and then a nasty sound of cracking bones reached their ears. Cody stopped yelling and calling for help, his limbs went limp, and the next moment a lifeless body fell to his friends’ feet, his neck twisted unnaturally. All the remained young adults were in a state of shock, but when consciousness returned to them, the creature vanished.
“Did you see that?” Andrew gasped. “What the hell was that thing?”
“I don’t know, man,” Luke said. “He murdered Cody in cold blood right before our eyes. But why didn’t you shoot it, Joel?”
“Yeah, why?!” Kim almost yelled at him, her eyes filling with tears. She has just lost her beloved one and could do nothing about it.
Joel lifted his hands in a defense manner.
“If I tried to shoot, I would have hit Cody,” he explained. “His body was in front of the creature. I don’t know if you noticed or not, but that thing was like covering itself with Cody’s body. It’s not as stupid as you might think, and obviously very agile. I have to be careful and watch whom I shoot. And I sure didn’t expect that we would be facing a real monster.”
“Yes, but you could have tried at least,” Kim insisted.
“I will, have no doubt,” he said. “Did you see its claws? Now I’m more than sure that it killed Darla as well. He owes me. In fact, he owes us all.”
While the rest of the group argued, each of them was oblivious to the fact that as soon as the demon of vengeance claimed another victim, Jade Warren once again suffered from agonizing pain, clenching her neck with hands when unbearable pain pierced it. She fought hard not to let out a scream, otherwise she would attract the unwanted attention, and it wasn’t the monster. No matter how much it hurt, the last thing she wanted was to let Joel find her before she planned to reveal herself to him. But to do that, she had to make sure that everyone else of his company was out of the way, so he would have no one to help him.
Joel, in turn, tried not to show the fear that overwhelmed him, but Jade knew him well enough to see that he was trembling like an aspen leaf.
“Listen, we have to take cover somewhere,” he offered. “If we stay outside, that thing will easily get us all. Come on, follow me.”
He already knew where exactly they were going to hide. The only option he had was Jade’s house. It won’t be difficult to force her to let them inside, considering the fact that he had a shotgun in his hands. And when they have a place to hide, then starting from there they would think of some plan. Right now the main objective was to hide from the monster.
Joel ran to Jade’s house, his friends following his footsteps. Unlike the neighboring houses in the area, this one was completely dark, not a single light visible in any of the windows. Joel didn’t care about knocking and just pressed the handle; and to his surprise, the door wasn’t locked. He entered the house, followed by his friends, and switched the light on. Everything was quiet.
“Looks like nobody’s home,” Kim said, looking around. “It’s weird why the owner left the door unlocked. Any thief can technically come in and steal things.”
“By the way, why did you choose this place where no one’s home?” Luke wanted to know. “There was one more house where lights were on.”
“Because those people won’t let us in,” Joel explained. “Do you remember last time when we were here when my ex ran to the neighbors? The old couple that called the police. Do not doubt that they wouldn’t have let us inside. They hate us, especially me, you know.”
“Oh yeah, I remember that,” Andrew nodded.
“So this is your ex-girlfriend’s house?” Kim asked.
“Yes,” Joel replied. “So I thought it was better we hide here. I only wonder where she is and why she left her house practically open.”
“She probably forgot to lock the door,” Luke pondered.
“Even if she did, where could she be in the middle of the night? It’s not safe with that… thing out there,” Kim looked worried.
“She might have perished as well,” Joel was somehow sure of that. He walked into the kitchen and put the shotgun on the counter at the window. “That thing moves very fast, so I doubt it’s possible to run away from it for a long time. It will catch you later or soon. I guess she fell into its claws.”
Deep inside Joel was happy that Jade supposedly fell victim to the monster. He wanted her dead from the moment they separated, and especially after the last time when she ran to the neighbors who called the police. At least there was one problem less. They now had much more serious things to deal with.
Kim walked to the window in the living room, trembling from head to toe. She could have never imagined that she would ever experience anything like that. She had never believed in monsters, and here they were, chased by a horrendous creature that methodically took them down one by one. The young woman couldn’t come up with the idea why that thing was after them. What did they do? She knew she would never find answers to her questions, even if they survived this night. At least she hoped for the latter.
But little did she know that all her hopes were false.
While she peeked into the window, trying to locate the threat, Joel and his friends were discussing their ideas of surviving. All were nervous and on the edge of panic, so the men raised their voice now and then. It was hard to concentrate and think soberly with a murderous creature on their tail. And that’s when they were startled by a sound of breaking glass and a piercing female scream. It came from the living room.
“Shit, Kim is in trouble!” Andrew screamed. “Come on!”
All three men rushed into the living room just to see Kim being dragged out of the window. Joel then ran for his shotgun and stepped outside, followed by Andrew and Luke. A few seconds ago Kim’s screams echoed through the night, but not everything was eerily quiet. Like time itself had stopped.
“Where is it?” Luke asked, looking around, shining the flashlight that Cody dropped in the moment of his death.
“Come on out, you filthy bastard!” Joel yelled into the night. “Come on and fight me if you’re not afraid!”
As a reply to his challenging voice, a dead female body was dropped before his feet with a gaping bloody hole in her stomach. It looked like she was pierced through with some sharp object. And the identity of the victim left nothing to guess.
It was no other than Kim.
The hole in her stomach indicated that the monster had used his tail to kill her. While it took a minute for the men to process the most recent happenings, Pumpkinhead decided not to wait this time. He pounced on Joel from the spot where no one could see him and pinned him down to the ground, knocking the shotgun out of his reach. But he wasn’t going to kill him at the moment, not yet. This guy was the monster’s main target, so he was going to leave him as the last one. And now the rest of the company was going to witness how fast and agile the monster was. Not thinking twice, the pale demon grabbed the shocked two remaining men by their heads and bashed them against each other with all his might. The impact was so strong that very soon their faces were bruised and covered in blood, noses were broken, and crimson liquid was oozing from their mouths. Pumpkinhead had no plans wasting much time on them, so with one swift movement of his clawed hand he twisted Andrew’s neck with the same unpleasant cracking sound, and his spear-like tail went through Luke’s body, ending their life instantly. Joel, in turn, slowly rose on his feet, keeping an eye on the monster that watched his every step. Sweat ran down his face when both his friends were brutally murdered right before his eyes, and he failed to save them. He felt so pathetic, especially now, when this terrible being was standing before him, ready to end his life any moment.
Only then he noticed something weird about the creature. The first time he caught a glimpse of it, the monster had such a face that can only be seen in a nightmare. Now he noticed a change in it.
The creature’s face looked more human than before.
All of this seemed strange to Joel, but now he had no time or wish to ponder about this. He and the monster stood opposite each other, and Joel glanced at his shotgun that lay on the ground a few meters away. If he could get to it somehow then maybe… maybe he would have the chance to survive.
Joel was prepared to run for it, but didn’t manage to move from his place. He heard light footsteps approaching him from behind. Before he could check who it was, he noticed that the creature was looking somewhere behind his back, and its mouth stretched, almost resembling a… smile.
“Well, hello there, Joel,” a female voice suddenly spoke behind the man’s back. “We have been waiting for you.”
