chapter 6:
into the void
January 2012
5 months after the incident
Several months had passed since the incident with the radio, and not a lot of stuff had happened since. Chris hadn't even texted me for a while. He would call from time to time and asked me how I was doing. I remembered he started telling me about his experiences, but he was doing just fine then. One morning, I decided I wanted to do some research on the entity, to see what I was up against. Someone online told me about other people having the same problem and even sent me several links to other YouTube channels that I'm not going to specifically name. At least it did prove one thing, we were not alone in this or at least I am not alone.
One night, I was fast asleep and received a phone call from an unknown number. When I picked up the phone, I started hearing heavy breathing and a scraping sound. I ended up feeling dread when I heard it, so I quickly hung up. Then my phone started ringing again, it was the same number. I became scared of what would happen if I answered it. I then gathered the courage to answer it again, and this time it was a voice. "He's coming for you, Jason," he said, then started breathing again before finishing by saying, "3 days," before hanging up the phone. I got so scared, I screamed.
The next day, I went straight to Chris's house to find that the place was vandalized. "Someone broke in to his house last night" I thought. Just then, Chris walks in and finds out that his place was vandalized, which mean that thought I had never came true. He then looks at me and says "when did you get here?" I looked at him with concern and said "not too long ago, it was like this when I got here."
"So it wasn't you?" He asked me "Well of course it wasn't me dumbass. I just came here to talk to you about something and then I saw this." I said to him. Chris quickly kept calm and then started asking "so, what exactly did you want to talk about?" I then told him to sit down and I told him about the phone call I had the previous night.
Day 2: There wasn't really much that had happened on Day 2, other than receiving a note from the mail during the afternoon. The note read, "You have one more night, Jason. Be prepared. You don't have to keep me and him waiting, do you?" The Reaper, at that point, was trying to break my spirit. "Oh, don't worry, I'll be prepared," I thought. I kept a gun in my closet in case of an emergency. In this case, I definitely needed it.
Day 3, the day it happened. I prepared my pistol for the night the entity and the reaper broke into my home. I then received a phone call from Chris, telling me that something happened to Julia. I didn't know what to say about it, but I told Chris to calm down and tell me what happened. Apparently, Chris was trying to call Julia but didn't receive an answer from her. Chris then told me that when he got to Julia's place, it had been broken into, with slashes all over the walls like a slasher villain had broken in. 'The Reaper,' I thought to myself.
It was 9:00 pm, and I readied my pistol just in case if anything did happen. But then, I started thinking back to that trip, if I had only declined Chris's offer to go to the Pine Barrens, maybe my life would've been alot easier. I remember back when I was 14, I learned the basics on how to work on computers and played some classic call of duty, the ps2 games, playing silent hill origins, or playing games like mortal kombat deception. I'm glad I grew up around those times. after thinking, suddenly I had that feeling again and I knew that it was his calling card. I pulled out my gun and was getting ready to shoot the motherfucker. But then, I was suddenly taken to a strange and yet familiar place. It was my old neighborhood, but only the whole work looked discolored. The grass was black instead of green. The sky was a shade of red mixed with purple. The neighboring streets were empty, or at least I thought it was empty. I explored the world around me, with my pistol still in hand. As I was exploring, I heard a strange noise, as it sounded like a owl or a wolf howling, I couldn't even tell what was making that noise. But as I got closer, that was when I saw it. The creature looked like a tall muscular humanoid with what looked like a bone like beak. Hair covering it's eyes. Claws on its hands and feet. When it saw me, it then tried to lounge at me. Thankfully I shot it point blank in the head, but it ran away. I got up and tried to run as far away from that. Just then something else was there, but it wasn't the same creature that attacked me. It looked like a pale man crawling on all fours, that was the perfect time to run, because the creature was way too fast for me. As I was running, I was then teleported into some strange place. It was a forest of some sort, but I soon realized that I was in a park of some sort. I then heard laughter coming from behind me. "Where are you motherfucker?" I shouted. "I have a pistol with your fucking name on it." I heard more laughter, but it was maniacal and menacing. "Is that supposed to scare me? Where the fuck are you!? Show yourself motherfucker!" Just suddenly, I felt a hand touch my shoulder and it was the entity, I then shot the thing 5 times but it didn't even work. Then suddenly, I was teleported again, but this time I was home.
I received a text telling me "hope you enjoyed the fun Jason" followed by a "laughing out loud" emoji. I then got angry I threw my phone to the ground, I began to cry and scream after what I just went went through. "What the fuck just happened?" That was the thought that was going through my head the past few minutes because I couldn't even process what happened. I decided to go back to Chris's house to visit with him for a while, when I told Chris what happened, he was shocked. But I did agree to do one thing and it is the main priority.
We must find Julia.
