The Scarred Raven
---
Another day at school has gone by. I can't wait to leave this place. Senior year was supposed to be great, right? Wrong. My friends Tony, Malik, and Colby have turned into MASSIVE douchebags. Because of this, I started hanging out with this Gary kid, who's also my neighbor. He's tall, around five foot ten, and is of muscular build. Lucky him, I'm only five foot seven. He's really nice, and has a cute younger sister, Alyssa. She's of average height, and has a curvy body, with long brown hair an bright brown eyes. She would occasionally play video games with us, but that was all I saw of her. Every day, I would go to Gary's and play video games. My old friends were upset that I didn't spend as much time with them. Little did I know that my "friends" were planning something to win me back...
As always, I went to Gary's house to play video games after school on Thursday. Alyssa was playing with us, too. We were playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, when someone threw a rock in the window of the gaming room. It hit Alyssa in the head, knocking her out almost instantly. Then we heard climbing. Malik, Colby and Tony had crawled into the room, pulling out pocket knives and rope. Colby rushed toward Gary, who tried to run away, and tackled him. I tried to run to them, but Tony and Malik held me back. I was soon tied to one of the chairs. Colby started to stab Gary repeatedly in his left eye. Colby pulled the knife out of Gary's face. Gary, who was barely clinging to life, screamed bloody murder. Surely, someone called the cops and an ambulance, but they didn't arrive before Colby shoved the pocket knife through Gary's bloody eye socket. The blade went through his skull, coming out of the other end and killing Gary instantly. "We're not through with you, Tyler," Tony softly said, and my world went black.
I woke up in a hospital bed, with Alyssa sitting beside me. She was sobbing. Her hair was messy, and her eyes were red and puffy. I guess she discovered what happened to Gary. She wouldn't speak to anyone, not even her parents. She was closer to Gary than anyone else, so she was depressed. As a month passed, Alyssa reached out to me. She wanted to play video games with me, like old times. I happily accepted, and she said to come over at 5:30 on Tuesday night. Tuesday arrived, and it was 5:15. I cleaned up my room. As I went to close my window, I saw into Alyssa's room. Alyssa stood on her carpet, oblivious to my watching. She wore a black tank top with a black sweatshirt around her waist, and black denim shorts that reached the middle of her thighs. She also wore black sneakers with black socks. Her hair was now black, and she straightened it. As I saw her, I gasped. Alyssa was covered in cuts. Her pale skin was surrounded by blood red cuts. Her wrists and hands had few cuts, while her legs were more scarred. She held a knife to her throat, and slit it. Blood dripped from the new wound. That was it, I crawled through my window and into her room. I couldn't let her die. As I went into her room, I realized she was still alive. She was just as confused as I was. "I saw you slit your throat... How are you not dead?" I asked.
"I have no idea, all it did was scar my throat," Alyssa told me.
"Also, since you're here, I need your help. Go get Tony, Malik and Colby. Bring them to your garage. I'll meet you there in an hour," she said.
"Okay, Alyssa. I'll help you," I told her.
"Thanks. Also, it's not Alyssa anymore. Call me Raven. Scarred Raven," she finished.
I left Raven, and went to retrieve the three boys.
An hour later, I was in my garage with Tony, Colby and Malik. Raven walked in, with a screwdriver and duct tape. She nodded to me, and I grabbed hold of Colby and Tony. They squirmed in my grip as I duct taped them to the couch, and covered their mouths with strips of the duct tap. Malik, on the other hand, was rushed by Raven. She pushed him to the ground, and stabbed him repeatedly in the left eye. She expertly scooped the eye out of its socket, and shoved the screwdriver forcefully into Malik's throat, ending his misery. Raven, now covered in blood, made her way over to the couch, cutting the duct tape off of Colby. He pulled out a pocket knife and slashed her throat. She winced in pain, but otherwise ignored it. She was avenging her brother, with my help. Raven stabbed Colby in the right side of his stomach, but cut to the left, leaving a gash in his torso that resulted in his intestines spilling out. Colby fell to the ground, covered in his own blood like a blanket. Tony was left, and he begged for mercy as soon as the duct tape was removed. Raven laughed and said, "Did you give my brother mercy? No! Time may heal all wounds...except THIS!" She swung her screwdriver at his neck, slitting his throat. Blood oozed from the new wound, but he wasn't dead yet. Tony pulled his cell phone out of his pocket, ready to call the police. He dialed the number, but he wasn't quick enough. Raven slapped the phone out of his hand and began hacking away at his throat. A few moments later, Tony's head was separated from his body, hitting the ground with a light thud. Raven turned to me. "Thanks, Tyler. I'm sorry I have to do this," she said. She tackled me, and held the screwdriver tauntingly above my left eye. She was about to shove it in when we heard a deep, gravelly voice shout, "This is the police! Come out with your hands up!" Panicking, Raven shoved the screwdriver in my chest, took it out, and ran away as my eyes started to close and my world turned black.
"Breaking news! Four teenage boys were found murdered in grotesque ways in a garage! Their last names will not be revealed, but the boys known as Tyler, Tony, Malik and Colby were found dead. A note was found next to one of the bodies. It simply said, 'Xoxo, Scarred Raven'. A girl known as Alyssa is missing, but is presumed dead, probably murdered by the same killer who took the lives of these boys. This killer is still at large, so be careful, and keep your doors and windows locked." I snickered as I read the news article I found on a street not too far away from where I used to live. "Presumed dead, my ass!" I said to myself as I clutched my lucky screwdriver and headed towards the nearest house.
