Katie and her parents Mark and Susie Thad live in an apartment building in Deerfield, Illinois. Katie hates school and always is getting in trouble, she also skips school. Her parents have tried to move to different schools but she still is the same. Katie only has one friend Cindy but she moved away to a small town in Kentucky called Kendy it has a sister called Concord. When Cindy was around Katie was well behaved and actually did well in school and had an A average. Mark and Susie had decided that they were going to move to Concord because there was a cheap house that was still big, and it was right next to Cindy's house.
The next day Katie came home from school and Mark and Susie told her that they were moving to a small town called Concord, at first she was angry but then she realized she would be next to Cindy. She was happy. That night she got all of her homework done and then talked with her parents for the rest of the night. The parents were so happy because they had never seen their daughter this happy before.
The next day they decided to check out the small town, It was a good drive and would take most of the day. So they brought all of their clothes so that they could spend two nights there. Early the next morning they left for Concord, Kentucky. They arrived in the night and so there wasn't much to see, however they hear a strange noise almost like a camera turning on.
Chapter One
Mark had awoken early to go on a run on the road along the river that runs to the south of the town that connects Kendy and Concord. Susie had also work up earlier to go and have a look around the town, so that left Katie all alone in the house. Katie decided to get a breakfast going, and opened one of the cabinet's to find just dust with an insect running around a small piece of food left there. Katie jumped back as the insect ran out of open door and down the wall into a small house. "stupid house" she said as she shut the door, she then went around the kitchen and opened different cabinets, this process continued for a couple off minuets until she finally gave up. After she went into the garage to get some snacks from the car.
Once she was well fed she decided to set out to find her parents. She found her mom in the park right outside of the house and found her dad a little later along the river. By then it was almost lunch time and all three of them decided to go to the local dinner to get some lunch. They walked in and everybody stopped looking and turned to face them, someone shouted something from the back of the dinner and everyone went back to their regular doings.
After they had ordered, someone came up to them, he introduced him self as the mayor of the town and his name was John Rogers. He had two twins both Katie's age and sounded very happy that they were here. He did use the word "finally" a couple times he sounded very interested in them. The time they left it was almost 2 and they decided to go home to explore the house. When they came home they had found all of their stuff all ready put into their rooms and their beds had been made. They thought that this was really weird but just decided to live with it. Katie said that she was going to walk over to Cindy’s house and say hi to her. Her parents were going to stay and bring in the rest of the items from the car into the house.
Mark and Susie decided to stay home and settle down and get the house more “home like.” Mark went outside to get the groffceries he noticed that there was a burning smell coming from the car. He opened the hood and he that the battery had been completely removed form the car. He also saw the wires connected to the car had also been removed. He went back inside to tell Susie what happened, when he came in he almost ran into her. He asked her what she was doing; she said that she was going outside to go and tell him that the TV and home phones weren't working. Then he said that the car battery had been removed from the car and that there was no wires where the battery should have gone. They both went out side and saw that the satellite dish was missing, but the podium where it sat was still there.
Katie was walking along the river wondering what she would say to Cindy when she got there because Cindy didn’t know she was coming. She stopped and looked at the river, in the river were a procession of seven dead bodies drifting in the stream. The bodies were all face down, and gashed on the back in blood was one word. HELLO CINDY I CAN’T WAIT TO PLAY. There was one last body, except this time it was face up and smiling. Katie then took a closer look and realized that the seven bodies were all of Cindy’s family and the last body was Cindy.
Katie ran as fast as she could back to her house and the safety of her family, only stoping to throw up. But she knew that she had too get there fast or what ever had killed Cindy would come for her next. Little did she know that she was running in the completely wrong direction...
Chapter Two
When Katie arrived at her house it was 6pm, almost dinner time. When she turned a corner and saw her parents staring up at the roof. Mark and Susie herd Katie panting they turned around and asked her why she was back so quickly. Katie started jabbering about the dead body’s and the message written on the backs. Katie was just about to get to the part where she saw Cindy when Susie told her to slow down and try to calm down as well. Katie told her story as best as she could and when she finished her parents looked at her not knowing whether to believe her or not.
Katie not understanding why her parents weren’t freaked out, grabbed her mothers hand and started dragging her towards the river. When they arrived at the river Susie looked around and asked Katie what they were looking at. Katie said that they were looking for floating bodies. However the darkness made it impossible to see across the river. Mark suggested that he go and get one of the flash lights that he saw in the garage back at the house. So he turned around and started walking back to the house.
After a while of looking around Katie and Susie began to wonder where mark had gone. Susie looked at her watch and saw that it was almost 7pm. They decided to go home and look for the flashlights them selves.
When they got to their house they saw that all of the lights were on except for one room, Katie’s room. When Katie and Susie ran upstairs they found that the door was shut and there was a noise coming form inside. When they opened the door they heard a cry so loud that Katie fell over. Susie in a trembling voice said “Mark ?”
“No” “I am not Mark, but I am very happy you are finally hear” the voice said.
The lights suddenly began flashing and Susie could make out to figures, one looked like a body split into five parts and the other was sitting up and was holding something. Then the lights went off, the next time the lights went on there was just one figure on the bed. Then the lights went off and the next time there was no one but a bloody knife.
Katie than realized that she couldn’t get up because her mother had fallen on top of her. When she shoved her off she relived that both of her moms legs and arms were missing. When saw this she threw up on the bed where her father was lying. He was in no better state than Susie he had his head and all of the appendages removed. Katie tried to leave but found that the door was locked. So Katie took one of her doll houses from her shelf and threw it at the door. She climbed out of the hole in the bottom of the door, ran downstairs and out the door into the yard.
When she got out side she could barely see past the road but she did see the missing hands and leg’s. She also noticed that they were organized two words, YOUR NEXT. She looked up to the old oak tree in the front yard. Hanging on it was her mother holding a knife, on it was Marks head still smiling. When she saw this she threw up again but it was just bile because there was nothing left in her stomach.
Chapter Three
She decided to go to the dinner to get some food and to find some people to get help from. So she went into her moms bag to get some money out of her wallet, that was when she noticed her mom’s phone.
She picked it up and tried calling 911, the phone rang a couple of times and finally a raspy voice came on. “Hello Katie” it said, “don’t turn around” but it was to late, Katie had dropped the phone and was looking eye to eye with the most horrible looking “thing” ever. It looked almost like a skinny boy but it had glowing red eyes and the skin around his face seemed to be falling off. His legs were no better, they were long and skinny and had eight toes on each foot. His face was lacking basic things like nose or ears, but he did have a mouth; except for the fact that it was a scar with stitches closing it up and it seemed to move.
Katie was frozen solid she couldn’t move or even scream, she could just stand there and look at the “thing.” After a minute or two she finally was able to pull a way from the “things” grip. Katie tried to run out of the kitchen but could not get very far because as she was about to go outside the “thing” appeared in the doorway blocking her escape.
Katie decided than ran upstairs into her room, looked the door, turned off the lights and hid under her bed. After a little bit she began to calm down. When she stopped breathing so heavily she began heard heavy breathing, so she tried to relax but it wasn’t her. She turned around a saw the two same red glowing eyes a before, then it said “what are we hiding from Katie?” When Katie heard this she jumped and hit her head on the frame of her bed.
When she woke up she noticed that she was in the middle of the town, right outside of the dinner. When she looked around she realized that she was not alone, almost everyone in the entire town was there. The mayor was standing right next to her, he turned down and spoke to her: “Hello Katie, you are finally hear, are you ready”. At this Katie began to hear everybody in the town started chanting something that Katie could not hear. She tried to stand up but saw that she was tied down to a rock right in the middle of the main area of the town.
Than the mayor began to look like he was throwing up, but instead he reached down inside his mouth and pulled a bug out. Everybody in the square began to laugh and starting chanting again. However this time they got up and started dancing around and screaming as loud as they could.
The mayor began to walk around the rock that Katie was strapped to. Upon closer inspection of the mayor Katie realized that he was wearing her father’s head on top of his head like a crown. She also saw that he had the beetle in his hands and was placing it on her leg. Soon the bug disappeared but she saw a bulge was moving up her leg, under her skin. When the bulge got to her middle section it disappeared under her shirt. But it then reappeared at her right shoulder and she could feel the little pricks of the feet walking on her muscles and bones.
The mayor then said “Katie, I believe that this is going to hurt a little. Then she could feel the bug entering her brain and start eating away at it. Katie began to scream because it was like a knife cutting away every part of your brain and then scratching and eating at the parts that were still alive. Katie continued to scream begging that the mayor take it out or just to kill her. But soon she stopped, and she felt a sharp pain in the back of her mouth as the beetle cut a hole into her throat and climbed out of her mouth an back into the hands of the Mayor. Then Katie began to cough up blood and she started to feel completely numb in her entire body.
