The Clown At The Highway Everyone tells me these scary stories about clowns comes to kill everyone or stalk you until you go mad but they were just stories.... Right? Well that's what I thought until I got stalked, I was driving on a 360 highway to get home. It was dark and it was, almost, midnight and of course Halloween was around the corner. People say that there is a clown that haunts this part of the highway but I've been driving this highway for the past 4 years, that's what I thought until I saw a clown was a knife standing on the edge of the highway just staring at me when I came over in that huge lop. "It was just a little prank nothing more" I said calming myself down. I kept thinking that when I keeping seeing the same clown by the highway. It's been a week now and it's still the same clown this time I had enough courage to stop, roll down my window and say to the clown "hey buddy, what's your problem?" The clown just looked at me then said in a dark and a weird voice "come and play" that's when I rolled up my window as fast as I could. That's when the clown went around my car to get to my side of the car but before he got to me I put my foot on the gas and drove as fast as I could to get away. I've never been that scared in my #life, I started breathing heavily so I turned on my radio to calm myself down. Nothing was on, not saying that nothing good was on I mean nothing was on. Static filled the sound, I started changing the stations in a panic motion. A few stations later, I heard a voice "thank God something" I said but I spoke to soon. I turned it a little more so I can hear it and I wished I didn't do that cause I heard a clown say "come and play." My whole body turned cold and my face turned white as a sheet. I looked in my mirror and saw the clown behind me with their head tilt to the right with the knife in the right side of them. A smile was on their face and I put my foot on the gas not looking behind me. Few minutes of going past the speed limit, I made it home and I got out as fast as I can locked the car while running to my front door. I was looking for my key while running, I was trying to get the key inside of the key hole but since I was going so fast my hand was slipping. That's when I heard a clown laughter, I stopped in my tracks and slowly turned my head and saw the clown on my front yard tilting their head. They giggle once more that's when I turned and finally got the key inside the key hole and unlocked it. I ran inside, locking the door and looked in the peep hole on my door to see if the clown was still there. He was so I ran to lock all of the doors and windows everything. Day has been a long day but I'm to scared to go to sleep, I grabbed my gun and sat in a chair in my living room. My gun was loaded, for the past couple hours was nothing but silence. Even the clown wasn't making any noise at all. I think I fell asleep because the next I knew it was morning. In a panic I checked everywhere to see if the clown was gone, they were so I went outside to see if they did anything. The reason why I say they because I don't know if it's a guy or a girl. When I looked outside, what I saw was horrible and will be forever in my mind. I left my dog outside and the clown got him, my baby is gone and it was my fault. I went on my knees and saw that the clown slit his throat and stabbed him. Tears was filling up my eyes, what I saw beside of him made me angry. It said "come and play" ever since that day I never look beside of me when I drive or stop to talk to anyone any more. It has burned in my mind what has happened to me. So be careful on what you do on Halloween because someone might think your going to kill them instead of a joke.

Chapter 3 The next day when I woke up, Adam came in. "Oh sorry I didn't mean to wake you" he was shocked I wanted to ask why but I didn't, I said "oh no you didn't wake me!" When I said the he began to smile, his smile Hey is like the sun finally came up. I never saw the cutest smile like his before he said "good, now let's get you out of here." When he was about to untie me on my left side, I yelled "wait!" He looked up at me shocked I think I scared him. "Why, what's wrong?" He asked me "Wouldn't you get into trouble?" He could tell I cared about him. He did that amazing smile at me again and said "you don't have to worry about that they trust me" when he said that I began to relax a little I wanted to say let's not I don't want you to into trouble something was wrong I can feel it but I didn't say anything like that I just said "okay" then he began to untie me from the bed. Couple minutes later, Adam got me undone it felt weird to have the ropes off of me. When I got up, I fell but before I hit the ground Adam caught me in his arms. His arms was fill of warm and care I wanted to stay there forever. When we both rose up, we were looking into each others eyes. He had blue eyes, they were beautiful. He asked "are you okay?" I could tell he was worried about me because those beautiful eyes was wide. "Yeah, I am fine" I told him weakly maybe my legs are still weak from yesterday. "Okay here, hold on to my shoulder so you can walk I want to show you something" he said to me, I did what he told me to do. I put my hand on his shoulder and we started to walk. When we left the room we were in this long and large hallway. It had a red, long carpet like you see on TV shows and there was hardwood floor under near. They had pictures and art all around me, I was looking around and holding Adam's shoulder when he saw me looking around he began to smile and asked "what do you think so far?" I looked at him, I saw he was smiling "why are you smiling? Did I do something funny?" I knew when I said it, that was the stupidest questions I ever said. When I asked, we stopped he said "yeah being you" I didn't know what he meant he was fooling with my head. We walked a couple feet in silence then he broke it by asking "so, where is your family?" All the questions in the world he had to ask that I wanted to cry, I tried to forget about my family but I had to answer "I ... I don't have one" I said "Oh so you have been alone?" He asked "Yeah" "How long?" "Since.. I was 14" He was shocked and said "wow you have been alone for 3 years?" He was amazed I wanted to asked why are you amazed? Don't believe a girl can survive, but I shouldn't say that cause he did save my #life. "Yeah" I told him "and thanks to you and that other guy I am alive." He started to blush and said "yeah" I was about to ask why are you blushing but then there was this large door it had patterns on it and it was gray too. "Come on, let's go in" he told me. He was about to open the door but I pushed his hand away, my legs was strong enough to stand now. He looked at me and asked "what are you doing?" Actually I don't know what I was doing, but I know in my 3 years I learned that if you find a door that is closed it needs to stay closed. I looked at him I could tell he was shocked. "Adam let's not go in there who knows who is in there." I told him I was scared he could tell so he put his hands on my shoulders and said "Scarlet, listen I know you are scared and confused and been alone for 3 years and trusted no one, but you can trust me just open the door." I could tell there was something in that room that is important I turned and toke a deep breathe and opened the door.

Chapter One When I woke up, I saw two large guys with weapons staring at me. I was scared, I never saw these people before. They had on a white shirt, black shoes,  and mask of some kind that is covering their mouths. The one on the right had blue eyes and a bow, the one on my left had green eyes and a spear. One large guy on my left was asking me  "who are you?" "Where are you from?" So much more I can't hear cause his voice was going in and out. More I sat at the burning sun of the desert the more sick I got. When the two guys went to my left to talk I saw the weapons on my other side. I had enough strength to get up with the bow and arrow,that they had left thinking I was to weak to get up on my own, aiming. "What kind of bow is this I never seen or held this before." I said to myself then more I stand there more I got dizzy and sick. I don't remember what happened next.   When I woke up I was in this warm room. I couldn't see anything my eyes was just adjusting to the light. "Hey are you okay?" I hear a warm, kind voice ask me when I finally adjust to my surroundings. I saw the same large guy in front of me I tried to back up then I realized I was tied to the bed. "Sorry we had to make sure you wouldn't try to hurt us since you had a weapon at the desert." He said to me I was looking down and not at him I don't know what to do or say. He was looking at me like he was waiting for me to say something. "Are you not going to say anything at all?" He asked me I was just sitting there looking at the ground I didn't say anything. "What is your name?" He asked me "man, you are not going to give up are you?" The other large guy walked in. "I guess not" he smiled and told the first guy. I was sitting there they wasn't facing me anymore a few minutes later they were leaving I had enough I couldn't stay quiet for long. "If I say my name will you tell me yours?" I asked them the first guy looked at me almost shocked "yeah." I sat there and said "Scarlet" there I told him I was still looking down. "Scarlet, I like that name my name is Adam." I think my face was red when he said he liked my name. "Hi" I said "Hi" he said back. We were in silence for a few minutes then he asked "how old are you?" I didn't say anything "come on you told me your name tell me how old you are!" He was getting confused. "Will you tell me yours if I tell you mine?" I asked I looked at him for one second then looked down again. "Yeah I will" he told me leaning against the wooden door frame. "17" I said "17,wow!" "Wow what?" "I am 17 too" "Your lying" I told him "Nope" "Okay?" I waited, I didn't know what to say "so what do you want to talk about?" He asked me going to the chair that is beside me and sat down.
