This post was an official UberMadness! entry. Click here to view the original matchup.
The new student was a strange one to say the least. Long greasy hair that covered his face, but a perfect complexion beneath. He was tall, taller than most people older than him but quite weedy, he walked with a slouch that brought him to the same level with everyone else but made him look peculiar.
Greg's fashion sense was strange, wearing an old ski jacket, complete with bright yellow, pink and green zigzag pattern, those cop shades you see in the movies, and a pair of insanely big jogging pants to make the whole outfit so odd that it matched. The way he talked was stranger still, although he would only talk when asked by a teacher, his voice enthralled people as it was almost robotic-like. And seemed to echo around each classroom as if by surround sound from a stereo system.
Even just the way he skulked around from lesson to lesson, minding his own business and making no attempt to interact with fellow students around him made him different from the rest. Everyone stared and whispered to each other, but nobody dared say anything to him, in a way they were all a little scared, not sure what would happen if they tried to interact. One person didn't seem to care about this at all, Emily wanted to find out what this strange boy was all about.
The end of school bell went, and everyone filed out of class glad that another day had gone by. Greg was one of the last out, as he was slow and deliberate in his actions, making sure he had everything with him. Only two others were still in the classroom when he left, one kid who was struggling with a knot in the headphones for his CD walkman, and Emily. She stood at her seat until Greg had left the classroom, and proceeded to follow him.
"Don't play with fire Emily," the kid said as she was leaving the door.
Emily replied with a sweet yet sadistic voice "Fuck off Chris."
He hung his head in shame, annoyed at himself for not being able to stop Emily from following Greg, the strange one. Chris had heard many rumours about him, some said he was the one that caused the fire at Hooke Hall, others said he was responsible for the deaths of the 6 school girls last summer. None however knew the truth about him. And Chris didn't want Emily to be the one to find out the hard way.
Greg walked for a few miles in the direction of the river, and all the while Emily was following close behind, making sure she made no noise as to distract him. He walked to about 300 yards from the river and made a sharp turn to the right, Emily was more than surprised and only just made it behind a bush as he looked around the place where she stood.
As she was peering through the bushes, he lost interest and walked on. Through the thin alleyway and then to one of the biggest houses Emily had ever seen. It was 3 storeys high, and had dozens of huge, pane glass windows. Greg walked in through the front door, and Emily was left outside alone. She peered through the windows trying to get glimpses of Greg and would catch one every now and again.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?!" Came a harsh growl from behind her.
Emily stifled a scream and froze. She was so stupid, she had been caught trespassing in what seemed to be a huge and rich estate. This was it, she turned round.
"Chris!?" Emily said in surprise, "What are you doing here? Did you follow me?!"
"Alright calm down keep quiet, what are you doing here? This place creeps me out." Answered Chris in a hushed voice.
"It doesn't matter Chris, just go away."
"No, I want to know what is going on, you have been acting really strange recently."
"You don't understand. Just get out of here it's not safe."
"Bullshit I'm not safe" jeered Chris, "I want to know what the fuck is going on"
It felt to Chris as though Emily was just looking right through him. A low growl from behind made him realise why. He slowly turned round and was petrified at the sight before him. A huge yet thin beast was looming in front of him, hot saliva dripping from its mouth and the look of a kill in it's eyes.
"Greg, please no," pleaded Emily, "He doesn't understand."
Chris stepped backwards and fell to the ground. The beast walked ever closer to him and made as if it was going to pounce. Dug its claws into the ground and waited. It wanted something and Chris had no idea what.
"Don't run Chris, it will only make things worse."
"How the fuck can it get any worse?!" Chris was seething and petrified at once. "I have this huge 'thing' that looks like its gonna eat me!"
Chris turned to run and Emily screamed. The beast leapt forward and dug into his back with its claws, bringing him to the ground. It reached forward and tore a chunk of flesh and guts from Chris' side as he screamed in terror. Emily jumped over and tried to pull the beast away, but it only knocked her back into the bushes.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!!" Chris stifled one more blood curdling scream as he was torn into again by the huge beast.
********************************************
Emily awoke in the dark, and in a bush. She suddenly remembered what has happened and burst into tears. Nobody knew, and Chris least of all, and he paid the price for his ignorance. She looked around her at the carnage, there wasn't much left, just slithers of fabric that were once clothes.
He was gone forever now.
