“AAARRRGGGHHH”
“did you hear that!,” but there was no reply 
“Kayla, Kayla, Kayla where are you,” I jumped out of bed searching around but all I see is scratch marks on the front door and blood handprints all over the walls.
I run out the door onto the muddy front lawn and see a trail of blood leading to the house across the road, a rickety old run down two story house.
As I approach the old house I'm shaking with fear, the streets are so quiet I think to myself, there isn't a car or even a light to be seen. 

As I stare at the house it's even creepier up close.

I peered through the cracked window “ohhh noo please no” I whisper out loud in fear there's a trail of blood going up the broken stairs. 

“AAARRRGGGHHH” there's the scream again it's coming from up the stairs  
“Kayla is that you?!” I shout in horror 
“Help,” the voice replies. As I run to get help I look at the ground, the blood is all gone not even a splatter is left. “How,” I say still running, I reach Kayla's house and run to turn the lights on but as I shouted “help,” the lights flickered then turned off in a flash. 
I go to Kayla's parents room there “gone”

I say while a tear runs down my face, I feel like my heart has just dropped. “This was my only chance of getting help,” I sobbed in disbelief.

I can't give up I have to help Kayla. Running to the front door of the old house I stand and stare wondering if I will get out if I go in. Turning the door handle my spine tingling and my breathing becomes so shallow although it must stop. “CREAK,” the door says as I push it open.
 
I slowly take one step at a time going towards the broken stairs “CREAK” I shut my eyes and form a fist, hoping no one heard me.

As I reach the top of the stairs breathing heavily I hear another scream the scream is louder than ever. As I start to run down the stairs to the basement.

A ghostly figure with piercing eyes as black as night staring at me.
At the back I see Kayla strapped to a dentist chair sobbing. I pick up the book and chuck it at the figures head with a thud it falls to the floor. I run to Kayla 
and take the straps off “watch out Sarah!,” Kayla screams but it was to late the freaky figure hit me across the head with the book, suddenly I hit the ground feeling the cold blood drip down my forehead. I start to think in my dream “where am I, what's going on,” over and over. 

 I wake up in a concrete looking cell wondering who put me here I look over my shoulder and see Kayla staring out rusty metal bars keeping us in. 

Kayla are you alright,” I say to Kayla but she doesn't answer she just stares through the bars.’.
I get up and go over to her, she was staring at nothing but suddenly the ghostly figure from the house is standing behind us holding the chainsaw. It's too late to scream.

It lifts the chainsaw and……
