***BROOKLYN'S POV***

My eyes tried to adjust, but all I could see was darkness. It was surrounding me, and all I could hear was my heart beat in my chest. It was so loud it sounded like I was in a club standing right next to the speaker, and I couldn't focus on anything.

I spoke, "Allison?"

But it was silent, and all of a sudden I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. I was in danger, and my body wasn't letting me give up just yet.

Then I heard jangling... like it was...

Car keys.

I wasn't petrified, but I was scared, and as I started moving I heard the jangling increase... where was it coming from?

I felt in front of me, but only felt space, and I was searching for anything... a light, the keys, a wall... anything.

I was terrified for the lights to be off, but what if they came on and the man would be standing in front of me? Axe in hand?

Or what if I saw Allison? And she was lying lifeless in that damn chair?

Then I would break... because I wouldn't be able to face that fact that she was really dead.

Then I ran into the door, and when my hand found the door knob, my hand found the keys that had been making all of the noise. I twisted the door knob slowly and I heard the door creak, only to lead me into the monitor room.

Had he been watching us?

I wouldn't doubt it... but where was he now? My heart began to race again, and I slowly made my way to the other extension of the basement rooms.

I needed to get out of here... but the fear was the only thing that was keeping me going. I wasn't sure how my legs were moving... but they were, and that's all I knew.

I was terrified, and I was gripping the car keys so tight in my hand my hands were burning. I wanted to scream, I was sweating...

All I wanted was Allison.

I'm not sure when it was going to actually hit me that she was gone... but when it did, it was going to hurt. I didn't want to leave her here, I didn't want to leave any of my friends here, but I had no choice...

I made it into the last room and I saw the broken window, and I searched for the trap door that led out the cabin, but I wasn't sure if I should take the more subtle way out.

I still didn't know where this freak was.

Maybe I should just go back out the window.

I made it to the window, which was about eye level with me, and I heard footsteps in the damp grass. It was drizzling, and I knew the rain was coming soon.

Then hiking boots were in my view, and I covered my mouth with my hand, muting my breathing.

What was he doing outside? How did he even get outside that quick? What was he doing outside in the rain anyway?

Then I realized he was dragging his axe, and something else, and I already knew what it was.

It was Allison.

Her torso came into view first, and then her face, her eyes were open, and I felt my heart ache at the sight. It took me everything I had not to scream out in pure horror. Those eyes were going to haunt me for the rest of my life, and as her body exited my view, I saw the burning flesh around her ears.

I felt the tears escape through my eyes, and I pressed my back against the wall, feeling my chest start to cave in from the pain. What was I going to do? How was I going to get out of here?

The pain I felt in my chest, mixed with the fear and the agony... I felt like I was going to pass out on the spot. I looked through the window again, and I realized there was no one out there, and I realized this was my only chance to get out of here.

If I ran, I could make it to the car within thirty seconds. I was just praying the doors were still unlocked.

I almost couldn't bring myself to climb out of the window, but when I lifted myself I felt the cold rain hitting me in the back. It began to rain harder, and the grass was soaked, and I knew I needed to be careful as I ran, not to slip and fall.

I took off, feeling my heart pump harder as the adrenaline and fear ran through my body.

This was it.

I rounded the cabin, seeing the car some into view, and that's when I saw him.

He was standing on the pier of the lake.

I whimpered a noise of fear in the back of my throat, and I felt the tears form as I made it to the truck. I pushed the key into the lock and as my hands trembled from the fear I looked up, seeing him coming closer, faster and faster.

I pulled the door open, slamming it and sticking the key in the ignition, but when I turned the key...

The car refused to start.

I cursed, "Fuck!"

He didn't this on purpose, he set me up, he got my hopes up, all for nothing. He was just going to kill me, and I was foolish enough to fall for his stupid plan.

He was next to the window, and he slammed the axe against the window, shattering it. I started to climb to the other side of the car, feeling the rain hit me as it began to pour against the car.

Then I felt a strong hand tangle itself in my damp hair, and I felt my scalp rip, and I screamed from the agony. My leg was burning, and I had blood that was covering my leg, and as I struggled against his pulling force, I knew there was no use.

He was going to rip my hair out.

But he yanked me back, and I whimpered, "Please... no..." the tears were falling with the rain that was splattering on my face. He drug my head out of the window, and I was staring up at him, the mask... the rain was washing away all of the blood, and it was white again.

Like it was a new start, after this...

It would just keep happening the same way, over and over again.

All the innocent kids that would come up here for a good time... they would all be brutally murdered.

Just like all of us.

As my head hung out the window, my body flailed from inside the truck, but my struggling was useless. I watched in horror as the axe rose in the air, and the water dripping from it, the shiny metal that lit up when lightning struck all around us.

He was going to kill me, I was done, there was nothing left.

No one was going to make it out alive.

I saw the axe start to come down, and I echoed my last scream through the dark, empty woods. This was it, this was my death.

***

I gasped awake, not understand what the fuck just happened. I was tangled in my bed sheets, and I leaned over and turned on the lamp.

Where the fuck... who the fuck...

I looked at the clock, it was 10:00 Am exactly. What day was it?

I looked at the calendar across the room... it was... Friday?

I felt my heart beating rapidly, I was sweating, and I stunk so bad. I pulled myself up against my bed's headboard, clutching my knees to my chest.

Then my phone rang.

I looked at the caller ID, it read: KATE!

I leaned my head against my bed, she was alive! I answered, "Kate?"

She laughed, "Brooklyn? Hey I was just calling to make sure you were up... I don't know why but I'm having second thoughts about this cabin. What do you think?"

I was screaming, "HELL YES I AM!" but I just stayed calm, "Yea, I am to... I don't think it's going to be fun." I thought about the name of the lake, and I figured there was only one way to figure out if it was just a dream or not, "Kate... what's the name of the lake?"

She stammered, seeming to have to think about it, "Um... I think it's called Malum Lake?"

My heart fell inside my chest, and I nodded, swallowing hard, "Yea... I don't think that's gonna be a good time, Kate."

She sighed, "Dammit... then what?"

I shrugged to myself, anywhere besides there was going to be good to me, "What about the beach?"

I heard the smile in her voice, "That actually sounds... really fun."

I nodded, it sounded a hell of a lot better to me actually, "Who's going?"

She sighed, "Me, Nathan, Zeke, Lyle, and you..."

I heard a slight lie in her voice, and I spoke, "No surprise guests?"

"What do you-"

"You can invite Allison, Kate... it's fine."

I could tell she didn't understand, but she didn't need to, "How did you...?"

I smiled, "I just had a feeling."

She sighed, "Well we're gonna need to leave at noon, so you better be ready when I get there!"

I rolled my eyes, "I will be Kate."

We hung up and I set my phone down on my bed, I was still trying to process what had just happened. I wasn't sure if it was just a dream or not, but I had never had a dream that vivid in my entire life.

But there was one thing I was completely sure about, I wasn't ever going near a Lake of that name, or any cabin out in the middle of nowhere ever in my life.

A/N: Hope you guys didn't hate me to much, but seriously... when have I ever given my stories a sad and horrifying ending?.... I would say.... NEVER! But I really enjoyed writing this because I had never wrote anything around this genre... so tell me what you thought, and tell me things I could've changed.
