Happy spooky month, this is a short one but even then- a keep reading I still deem it p necessary
You were preparing for bed, you walked down the hall into your bathroom and looked in the mirror, you saw the stuff in the background but mostly you saw yourself in the mirror, you stared at yourself for a moment before you realized ...Yep, you looked exhausted, you needed some sleep… You turned the water on and grabbed your toothbrush, you rinsed it off and then grabbed your toothpaste and squirted some onto the brush, you quickly got to work with brushing your teeth, after you were finished with that you rinsed the remains out of your mouth, you looked over your teeth and you nodded, that’d do… You rinsed the brush off again and then placed it back in its holder, you then did your business and finally headed out of the bathroom ad headed down to your bedroom, you heard your phone’s notification go off and you grabbed it from your back pocket, you looked over the notification and it read a goodnight from one of your friends.
You smiled at this and texted back a goodnight before walking into your bedroom and placing your phone on the nightstand, plugging it in so it could charge for the night, you then walked over and put on your pajamas and finally you made it over to your bed, you couldn’t wait to get to sleep finally, you plopped down and placed the covers over yourself, getting into a comfortable position, you stared up at the ceiling for a moment before slowly closing your eyes… After a few minutes of tossing and turning, you finally managed to fall asleep… The room was peaceful, no sounds aside from the soft sounds of your breathing, of course no one was around to hear it, it was just your sleeping form in your bed, turning around in your sleep, and for a long few hours, you slept pretty peacefully… ...Eventually your eyes fluttered open upon hearing a sound, it sounded like a pebble had been thrown against the window, then it was silent again and you closed your eyes once more, and then you heard the same sound again, you opened your eyes and then once more you heard the sound except this time it was a bit… Louder actually.
You slowly raised up and looked around, you heard the sound again and that made you get up out of bed, you slowly walked toward the window, the air felt… Tense and eerie, much eerie than it felt before… You approached the window and took hold of the curtain, you hesitated for a few moments, you had no idea what you’d find, you had no idea if someone or something would be standing there, you felt a sense of unease pool in your stomach before finally peeling back the curtain and you found… Nothing, nobody standing there, no cracks, no sign of anything actually happening… You blinked in surprise and looked out the window, nobody was running away, nobody was even close to your window, there were no signs of any life stirring in fact… You jumped however as you heard a crack, much louder than all the rest and then you looked at the hole now in your window, you blinked and slowly reached a hand up, carefully tracing around the circle and then you yelped when you heard a raspy quiet voice call out your name, you quickly spun around and saw no one, you shook your head, okay you must’ve just been having a nightmare or something, this wasn’t real surely…
You looked toward your bedroom door as you suddenly heard creaking sounds and noticed the door was slowly opening up, your eyes widened as you watched the door slowly open up, the creaking sounds making you cringe, once it was fully open you saw nobody was actually there, against your better instincts, you curiously headed toward the doorway…
You glanced at your door before glancing out into the hallway, it was a little darker than usual, you could have sworn you at least left a little light on to be able to see down the hallway, suddenly that light flipped back on and lit up the end of the hallway except this time the light was red instead of its normal color, you knew that light couldn’t turn red so something was wrong here, v e r y wrong… You yelped when you saw a shadowy figure walking past “W-What the fuck?!” You couldn’t make out any details but whoever this was they were pretty tall… He looked like he had some kind of fedora on and that was about the only thing you truly noted, you slowly took a step forward and then paused, you shouldn’t go investigate, you shouldn’t try following this person, you had no idea if they were a threat or not! After that shadowy figure walked past you noticed the light was flickering now but it was back to its normal color… How bizarre, you then realized, shit! There was someone skulking around your house! You ran back into your room to grab your phone, you tried turning it on but nothing happened…
You kept trying to turn it on but to no avail and you were growing more frustrated with each passing second until a loud burst of static made you yelp and drop your phone, and then there was a high pitched screeching sound emitting from your phone, you covered your ears and cringed at the sound, it was way too overwhelming…! The screen turned red and you saw something flash across the screen before it suddenly went black and the noise stopped which you were thankful for but still… Now you had a bigger problem, your phone was broken and now you had no way to call anyone for help… ...Shit… You then turned back around and noticed the light down the hallway was flickering, you knew it was a bad idea but slowly you crept from your room and began to walk down the hall, you looked toward where the figure had headed and went that way, you had a bad feeling about this but really what could you do? You didn’t exactly have many options here… You continued on and as you made it out into the living room you noticed the lights were red in here this time, the television was on but it was just white noise playing.
Luckily it wasn’t as deafening as the sound from your phone but still, you felt extremely uneasy… You continued forward into the living room and looked at the television, nothing but static flickered and danced around on the screen, the sound was still grating on your ears but nowhere n e a r as bad as the noise that emitted from your phone… You swore you saw something amongst the static but there was no way… You were surely just imagining things, you shook your head and quickly headed out of your house, maybe if you could get to a neighbor’s they’d let you use their phone! ...Not that you really thought the police could do much in the first place, but it was worth a shot… Either way as you headed out you heard that same raspy voice call your name, you looked to where you heard the sound and your eyes fell upon the alley up ahead… Luckily it was one you could go through and not get cornered in so you headed that way, your friend lived up there anyways if you got through the alley you could easily go to their house!
You were walking through the alley when you heard something scraping against the wall behind you, it sounded like some kind of… Knife, you immediately spun around and looked behind you, there was… Nothing there… You must have just been getting far too paranoid and anxious… You needed to just take a moment and calm yourself down, that’s all it was, surely…
You took a deep breath and turned back around and headed up the alley… It felt colder the further ahead you had gotten and right as you were about to exit the alley, a trash can lid rolled right into the alley and stopped in front of you, you cringed at all the noise it made… You stared at the lid for a few moments before hearing that voice call out your name again, you looked ahead and saw no one… Until that figure stepped out in view, you could see him much more clearly now… First was that same fedora you had seen earlier, next thing you noticed from where you stood were his eyes, they seemed to be black but the pupil was a glowing green sorta color and his pupils looked slit almost like the ones you’d see on a cat… He was grinning which revealed razor sharp teeth, and the final most notable thing you saw was blood oozing from a cut on his neck, he slowly moved closer to the wall and raised his hand up, it looked as if he had some kind of glove on and then he began scraping it across the wall, it made a god awful sound that made you clutch your ears.
That glove glinted in the moonlight and you could see it was some kind of… Glove with knives for the fingers, your eyes widened as you saw him stepping closer, his form glitching out, okay well if the bloody neck didn’t convince you he wasn’t human then that sure did… You stepped back and he only continued closer, laughing all the while… Until finally you managed to say something “P-Please, God…” He then stopped dead in his tracks and his laughter ceased before he lifted the clawed glove up to his face and grinned wildly "͢T̵̨H̴͜I̧͡S͏̷ ̸͞i͜s̷͜ ̷̨Go̸̵d̵" (any chance I get to let Anti refer to himself as a God I will fucking take it) And that’s when you ran, he soon ran after you, you had no idea where to really go except for back to your house and before you even made it to the door he grabbed you, you began to hit at him and struggle against his tight grasp, the struggle carried the both of you to the side and you both tumbled around in the yard, you kept pushing against him, and eventually your hand landed against his throat which easily seemed to tear once you started pushing against it, blood gushing and spraying directly onto your face which caused you to scream, you finally pushed him off and quickly got up and ran inside.
You quickly closed the door behind you and made a beeline for your bedroom, you remembered your phone being broken earlier but maybe by some miracle it’d be fixed now, you closed the door and locked it and then walked over to grab your phone, to your surprise it had actually managed to turn on, you quickly dialed the number for the police, you doubt it would have done you any good but you were too frightened to care right now, you heard the phone ring a few times before a voice echoed out through the phone, an all too familiar one "̶͝͝Yo̷͟u̡͠ ̧͠c̡͟a̢͟n̴̡'҉͏t͝ ̶҉҉h̨͠i̴͞͞de ͜҉fr̢͘o̵͡m͘͜ ̸m̸͞e͢͠,͜͠ ̴d̸e̡a̵͠ŗ̢~" And then you felt something wet and slimy against your face, you pulled your phone away and screamed when you saw a tongue, you threw the phone to the side and looked around, you needed to get out of here… As you stood up you heard the thump of footsteps slowly approaching your room, shit you had no time! You quickly ran over to the closet, opening the doors and moving items around so you’d fit inside, you pushed yourself as far back into the corner as you could go and hugged your knees, tears threatening to spill over, you placed a hand over your mouth to stifle any and all potential noises.
You heard the thumps of boots against the hard floors outside and then you heard things crashing to the ground and being smashed, he must’ve been looking for you, you had just hoped he wouldn’t find you… You heard things crashing around for awhile before finally you heard the door to your bedroom slowly creak open, you heard him chuckle "̧T͏h̛͘e͜r͡e͞'͟s̡ ͜r̶̶e҉ą̸͘l̶͞ly̸ nơ͢͡ p̨͡ǫ̛i͘͠n̕t҉̢ ͏i̢͘n͠҉ ̷̡̧h҉̴i̵d̶͠i̴̧n̴̵̴g͘ ̡͡b̧̨͢u̴t̕͢.̶̨͟.̶. ̸I̴̡͡f̷ ͘͢y͞'҉̨͡ ̛̕͘R̵E̶̶A͘͠L̵̛L̢Y͏͟ ̢w̷a̧n҉͞n̶̵͘a ̨̨pl̷̷̛ay͢ h̛͡i̧d̛͝e̶ ͞a͠҉n̸̸d̸͏ ͢s̷͞e̵̴̢e͞k͢ ̴t̢h̨e̕̕n̵ ̶͏̕I'̡ll̸͡ ̶b̷̴e҉ m̛͟ ̧͝͞o҉͠ ̶͝͞r ̨e͞ ̡͡t̶̶h̵̸ą͠n͞͡ h̷a̵p̶͟p̢y̶ ̷̶̢t̵͞o ̛ob̴̕l͢i͢͞ge͟~" You shuddered at this, his voice was so raspy and inhuman… It crackled with static and glitches that made your ears hurt, your body had began trembling as you heard him stalking around outside, you saw him from the cracks of the closet door, that glove’s knives glinting in the light, the noise it made as he moved his fingers made you flinch every time, you saw him stop in front of your bed first and he spoke again "A̕r̢e ̛y̴͝o͏̸͟u̵͡ ͘u̧n͟d̸̡͟e̕͜͝r̢.͏.." He paused before kneeling down and suddenly yelling out "̵͠H̶̨͜ER̨E̶?̷!" You flinched upon hearing him yell but then he chuckled and looked toward the bathroom "̡͡P̡͜ȩ̸r͢haps ̶͏͡y̡̡̢o͏ų̕ŗ͝ ̨̕͝i͏̶͠ņ ͠t̴͝h̸͝erę̛?" And then a pause before he slowly turned his head to stare at the closet door "N̷͜o̴͟.͞͡.̛͠.̕͞ ͜͠N̡͠o no, ͘I̶ ͡t̴h̡҉i̧̛n̴͡k̵̨ ͞I̴͜͠ ͢͡k̷n̨o̶w̸͢͜ ̕҉E̡͡ ͢X A̶ ̵͘͏C͝ ̵̧͝T̢ ͏L͡ ̸̶Y͠ ̕͢͢w̧̡͟h͞e̛r̛͢e̴ y͏e̶̛҉r͏͏ ͡hi̴҉̧d̛͘i̶̶n̸͞g̛.̧͜.̢҉̵.~̸̧" And with that he fully turned toward the closet door and slowly stepped closer, each step caused your body’s trembles to worsen… Until he was finally at the closet door.
"̷̧͢C͘o̸u̶l̛d҉ ̸y̴̵̷o͟͞u̸͏.͠.̶͜͞." He slowly began, his voice a whisper as he spoke "̧Be̕ ͟͞i͡ ̛͞͞n̶҉ ̡s̶ ͟i͝ ̧͟d̷̡͡ ͘͡e̵͠ ͝ ͟t̛ ҉h̕͟͡ ̧e̴͜͞ ̴ ̴̷c̶ l̢ o͡ ͟͠s̵̨͜ e ̧t͘.̶͜..͏̧?̶" And with that he flung the door open, his eyes locking onto yours in a hurry, you screamed when he looked at you, you had no way out this time, you were trapped in a corner, literally… He chuckled and reached into grab you, his other hand still had rather sharp claws but at least they weren’t near as deadly as the knife glove he had on "͞Fơ̴̢u͝n̵d̷͘͠ y̕ou̕~͢!" He cooed, and when he began pulling you out of the closet you tried to struggle again, once more after a bit of struggling you managed to get away but only for a few moments as he managed to grab you before you could even t h i n k about getting close to that exit "͘͜N͏҉O̵T...̸ Th̵̶͡is̷̴̨ ̷t̕im̢e͢!͘"͘ You screamed as he pulled you closer, tears now cascading down your face, you sobbed a little before freezing as he brought one of the knives to your cheek, he nicked it as he swept some tears away, a little thin line of crimson began dripping down, he then brought the knife to his own face and let his tongue loll out of his mouth to lick at it, tasting the blood that had dripped onto along with the tears made him shudder with wicked delight.
He then looked at your fear stricken face and leaned in close to lick the dripping blood from your cheek “P-Please…” You began which seemed to catch his attention, his eyes snapping up to yours as he pulled back “W-Why are you doing this… Who are you…?” He chuckled at your questions "҉.̷.͟.̕F̸o͢͟r̡ ͞f ͏͘u̷ ̡͠n r͢͞e̢̢a͘͡l͘l̡҉y̧͝..̢̢. ̶Ą̶͘n͝d̢̕ ̸i̴̡̕t̸͜'̕͘s͘ ͡͏n̛͝ot̡͠ ̕g҉̷͢ơn҉n͟͡a̵͢ m͢a̢̨̢t̛҉t̕e̶r̸̸ ab̧҉͡o͏͟u̡t ͏m͟y̧͘͠ ͟͠n̕am͏̕e͞,̡̕ b̷u͠t̷͝ ̧͝I̴̕͡'ll̷ ̵͘at̡ ̨͞ļ͜e͏̧͜ast ̨t̡͏e͏̧ļ̛͡l͞ ̵̵yo̷u̴ ̵͘b̨̛e͜f̕o̵r͏e͟͡ ̕y̶͡͠e ҉̨d͢͡i͜ȩ͜͏ ̡̕I͘ sup̸̨p̡os͏e͞..͘.̧̡ ̢͢I͜͠t͡ ͘c̷̕an ̸͝͞b͝e͏͏͏ ̢a ̶͟l͘͡a҉s͞t̨ ͜w̴̧͘i̶s҉̡͏h҉̶ s̡҉or̵t̛͠a͏ ̡͝͏d͘͞e̕a͡l̴̴.̶͟.҉̷.͠ ̸Ţh҉ȩ̕͡ ̵͡na̵me̕͟ ͘͢i̸͢s̢͜͠.̸̛.͘.҉̕ A̸ ̨͡n̸ ̵t ̧i..." You began to beg and plead for your life which seemed to only amuse the monster in front of you "̷͢I҉ ̢͡f̧̧i̵̕҉n̵̛͡d͜ ̕͟i̵͝t ̵c̨u͜t҉e ͞͝҉h̷͢o҉̵w ̸̧͝y̡e̛ ͏al̸͟w̕͝a̕͢͝y̢s tr̨y ͘be͝gg҉̢͝i͢͜͠n̷'̴ f͞͞e͏r̨͜҉ ̸̕y҉̴͝er̷͡ ͏͝l͡iv̡̧͏e͝s͞,͏ ̶ye ̛a̧͝l͏w̷̸ąy̡̕͞s ̢̛w̡͏҉a͏̨s̷̕t͜͜͞e͝ ̵o̵p̕͜p̴o̷͜rt̴u̵͢ņi͝t̨̨͟i҉͏̧e̢s̡ ͞͏t̵͜ǫ ̛̛hą͡v̸͘ę ̛͞ģ͠ ̨ơ͟͢ ̸͟o̸ ҉͜d̸͏͢ ̡͡la͢st w̢̛o̡͜ŗ҉ds̨͞.͟.͏̛.̷ ͏B͏̴ę͝c̕a̡͡u̶s̷̷e̴ ̨͡b͡eg҉̷g̴̛͞i͠ng̷̴͜ n ͡e ͏̶̛v҉̛ e̴ r̛͠͏ ҉wo҉r̨͟k̨͢͢s, ̶d̵̡̧e̸̢a̶͡r̛~̶̢͏" And before you could speak again he slashed down your chest, you gasped and cried out in pain, blood quickly spilling out all over you, your clothes and onto the floor below… Anti let you drop to your back and watched as you clutched at your wounds, trying so desperately to close them, as if that’d ever work with four deep slashes across the chest, Anti stood over you and laughed as he watched your pitiful attempts, your vision had started to go blurry from the blood loss, eventually your hands fell to your sides.
The last thing you saw was Anti standing over your form before your vision faded into nothing but darkness, that god awful maniacal laughter was also the last thing you heard as well…
(*Insert Dark Souls You Died here* yeah so this is kinda stereotypical- I decided it’d be kinda funny to go for horror stereotypes but I mean I did basically give Anti, Freddy’s powers and his glove n shit like that, just wanted a story for spooky month in general tbh! I doubt I’ll get a chance to post any more stories during Nov/Dec bc that’s usually a REALLY busy time
But either way, happy spooky month to all! Hope y’all enjoy this lil walking horror stereotype lmao)
