I gasped as the girl in the movie opened the door. It creaked open, and there stood the murderer. He slowly stepped forward, making no sound which made it seem as if the whole world was on mute. That was why they called him Silent Death, because you would never hear him coming. I watched, transfixed, as a talon like dagger slid out of his sleeve and into his palm.

     Seeing this, the girl tried to flee, but she was too late. Silent Death rushed forward and hot a hold of her, placing the dagger at her throat. She screamed......

                                                          ......and everything went black. I sighed and groaned along with the audience as yet another movie in the Blood Silence series ended in a cliffhanger. My friend Angelica and I shared mutual expressions of disinterest.

    The only reason we had come to this show was because of our friend's sister, Mia Smith, who had finally become the age at which she could watch horror movies. I looked over at her to see her eyes shut tight and her face scrunched up. I quietly scoffed at her because earlier she had been bragging at how this move would be so lame and boring.

     The credits started rolling and we got up to leave the dark blue theater. After throwing away our popcorn containers, we headed over to meet the rest of our group, Owen Martins and Jackson Smith. Earlier I had found out that Jackson had only wanted me to watch his sister so that he could go to the new Superhero movie that was playing.
    
     We waited for a few minutes so that they could move out of the crowd, then joined up near the bathrooms.

     "How was the show?" I asked them.

     Jackson replied really fast, "Oh it was so cool! There's a new hero and people keep trying to find his real name because he's more like a vigilante, and he sort of kills a lot of bad people, but they're still after him because he was framed and stuff... So yeah you could say it was good."
    
     Angelica chuckled, saying, "Woah, slow down there, nerd. We get it. It was good."

     "How was Blood Silence the 3rd?" Owen inquired.

     "Oh it was good, bout the girl died in vein." I joked. "Oh yeah, I'm the punmeister now." I thought to myself. Then all stared at me with expressions that said, "Really?". I cleared my throat and looked down, dejected.
    
     "Anyways," Jackson said, relieving the awkwardness in the room,"We had better get going, Mia. We all have school tomorrow. Thanks for watching her." They headed outside to his black Buick.
  
    I turned to Owen saying,"Do you have a ride?"

    "Yeah my mom is going to pick me up." He replied.
  
     I nodded and waved goodbye. Angelica and I headed out to her car. We headed out to my house so that she could drop me off.
   
     "So how has life been? You know, since...." She trailed off.

     I looked down with sadness even though I had known that this question would have been asked sometime or another. "Its been better, but she's still in chemotherapy. The cancer hasn't grown, but it's not shrinking." I said, fatigue showing in my voice.

     She glanced over at me quickly, saying,"Hey, don't worry, I'm sure she will be fine, ok Dahlia?"

     I nod and continue to look at the scenery around us. The sunset is barely visible due to the thick forest on both sides of the road. A flicker of movement on the otherwise bare road catches my attention. I squint, trying to make out what it is, and become shocked as it is a deer headed straight for the road! Before I can call out to Angelica, it runs onto the road and she swerves sharply to the right. The moment the deer hits the windshield, everything speeds up and then the car is on its side.
   
    The blackness comes suddenly, consuming what is left of my vision. The last thing ok remember is the pain from my seatbelt.....
