Night Stalker Mask

The full moon cast a reflection over the lake as Toby and Tara climbed out of the boat onto the island.

Tara was really nervous about this but she wanted so bad to fit in with the “popular” crowd that she had done a lot of things her parents would kill her for.

She could hear Misty laughing as Chad threatened to tip the boat that they had come in as it drifted up behind them.

Misty was the head cheerleader and there was no love lost between her and Tara. Misty was popular and bubbly but Tara had the one thing Misty didn’t….Toby. Toby was the star of the football team, the hockey team, and the track team….well you get the picture and Misty hated that he was in love with Tara and had been since second grade.

Tara turned around at Misty’s scream and rolled her eyes at the Night Stalker Mask Chad had donned to try and scare them. He was such a dork but at least he was an adorable dork. However, Misty couldn’t see how much he loved her for making calf eyes at Toby.

Toby wrapped his arm around Tara’s waist and started leading her up the hill to the house his grandparents owned. It had been shut up all summer because his grandparents were in Europe and seemed like the perfect place to have a Halloween party. He rolled his eyes at Chad and the Night Stalker Mask just like Tara had and told him to stop goofing around.

They got to the front porch where the rest of the gang was standing around waiting on them to open the house and Tara couldn’t help feeling like someone was watching them. She glanced around nervously but didn’t see anything. She didn’t have time to really look because Toby was tugging her inside.

The inside of the house was fixed up like a haunted house and Tara shuddered as she saw some more of those Night Stalker Mask like the one that Chad was wearing. Toby looked a little confused. “I didn’t put those there.” He whispered to her although he was really starting to look worried.

“Then how did they get here?” Tara replied more than a little irritated. Toby knew those things gave her the creeps. Why would he even think about decorating with the things? She walked over and touched one of them almost pulling her hand back at how real it felt. The Night Stalker Mask was so hot that she turned to look at Toby in shock. He just shook his head and walked over to look at another one. The mask Tara was touching consisted of a blue demon style face and hollow eyes. The mouth even moved when I touched it and the teeth were yellow and razor sharp it was almost as if….but no the thing couldn’t be breathing. It was just a mask….wasn’t it?

I got my answer to that question as Misty screamed and the Night Stalker Mask started coming to life all around us.
