Scott Michaelson was taking his time. He had to get this right. Scott was going over to visit his friend, Jason Hebert, whose parents were going away for a week. Jason had invited Scott, Kendrick Philips, Amanda Simon, Lucas "Luke" Brundsen, and Chloe Marley (Scott's girlfriend) over for the weekend to watch horror movies. Jason's sister, Kayla, was going to a friend's house.
Jason said they could each bring a movie of their own if he didn't already have it. Scott wanted something he knew he had watched, but the others hadn't, so that he would look brave in Chloe's eyes. Scott thought it would work, so he grabbed an old 1930s horror movie he had.
With this in mind, Scott headed over to Jason's house. He was ready for a late night of fun and horror. Scott could smell the pizza from outside. He didn't even knock, but let himself in so as to sneak up on someone. It was a bit cold out, but that didn't stop Scott from wearing black shorts and a gray shirt.
The pizza smell was strong. He could tell Kendrick and Chloe were there as he heard their voices. Chloe was in the kitchen alone, so Scott sneaked up. Her medium blonde, straight hair went down to her back in a ponytail. She was wearing jeans and a red tank top.
Scott approached her and grabbed her. He put a hand over her mouth and wrapped his arm around her. She was immediately frightened and started to kick out for her life.
"Shhh!" he whispered in her ear, "It's me."
"Mmph!" Chloe protested.
"It's OK," he said giving her a kiss.
"Scott the Hunter, right?" Kendrick asked.
"Wuh?! Huh?!"
"Too late, we caught you acting sexy with her!" Jason said with a laugh.
"So you did...," Scott replied, his face turning red as he let Chloe go.
"What a ham... getting into the "damsel in distress" stuff before the movies start," she said with a wink.
Little did they realize they were being watched.
============================================
Shortly after this, the movies began. Lucas and Amanda weren't there yet, but losers weepers. Scott was thrilled his movie got picked first.
As they sat there watching, Scott watched as his friends got into the plot. Scott was sitting with Chloe, and he took her in his arms. As the plot grew more suspenseful, he tightened his grip until she too was holding him with all her might. Scott was loving this.
As the sun set, the two slugs arrived together, Amanda in navy blue sweatpants and a pink t-shirt, and Lucas in jeans with a black polo. They helped themselves to pizza and sat down to watch the next movie. During this movie, a strange sound came from outside. The girls let out a yelp.
"What was that?!" Chloe asked quivering.
"What sound?" Jason asked, pausing the movie.
*Whirrrr*
"I-i-i-i-t-t-t-it's a chainsaw," Amanda said.
"Probably somebody trimming a dead limb," Kendrick said, brushing it off.
"I'm here you for you, baby," Scott whispered in Chloe's ear. She clung to him tightly.
They continued to watch and eat pizza when suddenly the power went out. They were in total darkness. The girls let out wails and clung to their men. Even Kendrick let out a yelp.
"What happened?" Scott asked.
"I don't know," Jason responded. Then the sound came back again.
*whirrrrrr*
"No one does that at night!" Kendrick boomed out.
"Lucas, let's go to the garage and look for the circuit box."
"All right, bro."
"I'm going upstairs to look around the neighborhood," Kendrick said.
"I'll go with you," Amamda said.
"C'mon."
"I need the restroom," Scott said.
"Who will stay with me?!"
"You'll be fine."
Scott was just finishing when he heard a scream. It was Chloe! He raced back but tripped and fell in the darkness. He rubbed his wound before getting up. He went to the living room and heard a dull thud following by a barely audible "Nnnhh!"
Scott pulled out his flashlight (aka cellphone)and looked around. Suddenly, he saw the source of the sound. It was Chloe, bound and gagged, sitting in the couch! She was bound at the ankles, thighs, and knees with rope. Her arms were boxtied behind her with a full breast harness. She was gagged with a sock, brown bandana, and tape strips.
"I see... One of the guys did this for a surprise after what happened earlier!"
"Nnh!" she shook her head.
"C'mon," he said sitting her on his lap. He gave her a kiss.
"Nnnhhh!" she insisted.
Scott looked down, his eyes adjusted, and saw the unconscious figure of Lucas, also bound just like Chloe, but gagged with full tape wrapping . He then heard the chainsaw whirr right behind him. Before he could turn, a cloth was over his nose, and Scott fell asleep from chloroform as Chloe screamed in horror.
=============================================
Scott awoke in pain. His shirt was off, and he was in a moonlit room. He tried to move, but couldn't. He couldn't talk either. His arms and legs were each roped and taped to a wooden chair, and his torso was fastened down at the waist, chest, and shoulders. A sock... no two socks... and much tape silenced him.
Scott looked around the room. There were his friends, all tied similarly to chairs. Chloe was fastened to the chair with ropes on top of the bindings Scott found her in. Amanda was struggling actively as was Lucas. The rest appeared asleep.
Suddenly, a figure entered the room. It had an accomplice. They both were hooded and had cloaks, so distinguishing male or female figures was impossible. The figures grabbed Amanda's chair and took it into another room.
Scott breathed faster, wondering what was happening. Suddenly, he heard the sound of ths chainsaw. Now Scott recognized that mask! Scott started to hyperventilate with fear as he heard Amanda screaming... they had clearly removed the tape from her mouth, but not ungagged her. Suddenly, she became quiet.
The figures reentered the room with her chair. There was a cloth over her head. Scott looked up and then realized that the cloth was red... they had decapitated Amanda!!!!
Scott then noticed that Jason and Kendrick were still. He then noticed that they, two, had blood stained clothes over them. In the darkness, it was hard to note the contrast between blood and Kendrick's brown skin. Scott's friends had been murdered!
Scott wept bitterly as he struggled. He listened in horror as Lucas was eliminated, and then they came for Chloe. Please not her too. Scott, hard as he tried, could not get free. This was it for all of them!
Scott was helpless as Chloe was taken back. She too screamed in horror as her head was removed. Scott refused to look when they brought the body back. He breathed deeply. It was his turn to die, the last of his friends.
Scott put up no more fight as his head was pulled back. The chainsaw turned on. No! He couldn't die! Scott thrashed... hoping, praying, that something would change as the chainsaw neared his throat, and then all went black.
============================================
Scott opened his eyes and looked around. He was in brightly lit room. Before him stood Chloe, smiling at him. Scott looked to see he was no longer bound. He then noticed that they both were in white garments.
"We're?" he asked.
"Yes, I believe we are."
"What an awful way to go."
"But we're in heaven."
"I hadn't thought of it that way. What do we do now?"
"I don't know."
"Wait a minute... heaven isn't just a single white room."
"Huh?"
"This ain't heaven. Look!" Jason said pulling off the cloth to reveal his clothes.
"Me too!" she said, pulling hers off.
"We're alive?!"
"Woo hoo!" she said.
"Yeah,!" he exclaimed. giving her a big kiss.
"Let's go."
"You were cute bound and gagged."
"Gee, thanks!"
Scott opened the door and walked out. This was Jason's house. Scott walked into the living room and saw the others on the couch... decapitated!
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!" Chloe screamed.
"How?!"
"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Jason came out laughing with a masked figure.
The figure had on black sweats, a black cloak, a solid black bandana headscarf, sunglasses, and a Jason mask. Scott stared at it. He reached up and grabbed the mask. It was Kayla!
"How did you?!"
"Chloroform, and it wasn't easy!"
"But?"
"She cut the power. Kendrick grabbed Amanda, and she and I grabbed Lucas. Kayla's friend, Claire, grabbed Amanda. Once Lucas was done, we grabbed you!"
"And the chain saw?!"
"Had no blades on it! And it was a battery powered one!"
"But the blood? And the bodies?"
"Reddened nutella and dummies."
"Oh... wow...," Scott said, wiping the sweat off his brow.
Scott looked on the floor and saw a pile of rope, a package of socks, and a roll of red duct tape. Scott picked up the rope and looked at Kayla.
"Someone didn't get the fun yet!" he said.
"I'll hold her!" Kendrick said.
"I'm grabbing her!" Jason added.
"We'll help!" the rest volunteered.
In short order, Kayla was tied to a chair securely. Arms and elbows tied behind her; legs, knees, and thighs bound; ropes running from each of the previous binds into the respective sides of the chair; ropes holding her torso and shoulders down; a breast harness; and a sock and much tape gagging her.
"Take that, 'Jason!'" Scott taunted.
"Hmmm!" she laughed.
"That was the most terrifying experience of my life!" Chloe said.
"I NEVER want to go through that again!" Lucas added.
"What a night!" Amanda joined in.
*whiirrrrr*
"Did you here that chainsaw?!"
"HE'S REAL?!?!?!?!?!"
Somewhere outside, Claire was laughing.
