• CHAPTER 1
    "Maria! Come on or we'll miss Ace's Halloween party!" Rasia yelled. Maria grabbed her witch hat and ran down stairs to meet Rasia. Maria was in an odd kind of witch costume. Rasia was in a really skimpy cat outfit.
    "Ready?" Maria asked. Rasia smiled and opened the door. In the doorway was Ace's dead body. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Maria screamed.Rasia grabbed her chest and tears ran down her cheeks.
    "He just faking. He has to be faking! He can't be dead!" Rasia reassured herself. Maria bent down and put two fingers on his wrist.
    "H-he's............ dead," Maria choked and tried to hold back tears. They both stared at the body of there friend.
    "Maria, we have to call the cops! Ace was murdered! There's a killer on the loose!" Rasia sobbed. Maria nodded and ran to get her phone out of her purse. She found it in the kitchen. She searched through the bag but the phone wasn't there.
    "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Rasia screamed and she came dashing into the kitchen. maria ran over to her friend. "Maria! He moved! Ace moved!" Rasia grabbed Maria's hand and pulled her to the front door. They both gasped. Ace's body was gone. Rasia bent down where his body had been and began to cry again.
    "Rasia, I'm going to go upstairs and try to find my phone so I can call the cops. If there is a killer out on the prowl you need to shut the door and lock it. I'll be right back. Maria dashed up the stairs and into her room. The phone was lying in the middle of the bed. Maria walked over and picked it up. It bussed. She quickly opened the phone and put it to her ear.
    "Hello Maria. You shouldn't leave things that are important to you all alone," Ace said and then hung up. Maria ran for the door. A hand came out from behind her and covered her mouth. Maria tried to pull the hand away from her mouth but it was to strong. Another hand came up and put a knife to her throat. "Be a good girl and come quietly. It will only hurt for a moment," Ace said and dragged Maria into the closet.
