Zac was walking home when he heard movement behind him.
"Hello?"Zac asked,scared.Nothing.

"W...who are y...you?"Zac stammered,as he was still in shock.Silence.
Suddenly, the man took a step forward,lifted his sledge hammer and hit the side of Zacs' face,causing blood to spill everywhere.And the only thing that was heard was the sound of blood running down the walls.

Riley was worried.He knew that Zac was mysteriously murdered. And the thing was,he lied too. He had said, "Do you know that i'm actually dead,because I got a knife through my head?"

But, just when Riley thought everything was okay,he disappeared.
And then,a voice was heard,"I will NEVER DIE!!!!!!!
