Ch. 3
The First Attack
 
Billy sat there holding the phone to his ear, "You're kidding..." He nodded, "You two went..." He laid across Hilary's lap, "Joel.. you have a problem. You and Benji probably thought you saw him. Cause if you did see him, we would've known..."
 
Hilary started playing with his hair
 
Billy shook his head, "Joel! Go to bed.. You need it badly dude. If you don’t get sleep you are gonna do something so stupid." He pulled the phone from his ear Joel still trying to yell him something as he pushed 'Talk'
 
Hilary sighed, "Is he ok?"
 
Billy sighed, "No. He claims he saw Rick... he and Benji broke into the house and they went upstairs and I guess there was a stupid dead body that fell out of a stupid sliding closet door, then to top it off. They saw Rick and he was coming after them. And then Benji broke his ankle. Common. He had to be making that up about the sliding door. For one, he said the stairs were kinda like the other house, and then the sliding door. He's trying to scare us. And yeah Benji probably fell down the steps but that's probably cause him and Joel where fucking around." He shook his head
 
Hilary nodded, "Yeah. But what if it’s true?"
 
He looked at her, "Rick is gone! And if he ever came back..." He shook his head, "Forget it." He stood up and walked off
 
Hilary watched him, "But... wouldn't Benji say something? I mean, he wouldn't just let Joel be a victim and get blamed for everything."
 
Billy sighed, "Benji's in shock. He wont talk."
 
Hilary watched him, "You know.. That right there, could mean something."
 
Billy sighed, "We'll see what happens."
 
Hilary nodded, "Ok."
 
Joel sat there looking down, "God..." He looked at Benji, "Say something! I look like a total jack cause of you."
 
Benji looked at him then looked away
 
Joel tossed the phone across the room, "Damn it!" He fell back
 
Benji shook his head, "Joel..."
 
Joel looked at him, "Oh now you speak!" He turned away from him
 
Benji sighed, "We are going to die..."
 
Joel sat up, "Not again! We are not. I don’t plan on it."
 
Benji sighed, "He saw us. And he's gonna kill us. And I'm hurt so I'm probably gonna be first."
 
Joel shook his head, "Don't say that." He stood up, "We will get outta this. We just need Billy to believe us."
 
Benji sighed, "Whatever."
 
Joel looked down, "We should get rid of him, For Josh and Sarah's sake..." He walked out
 
Benji watched him and looked down, "And Hannah..." He laid down and closed his eyes
 
That night
 
Something fell in the kitchen and broke. Benji opened his eyes and looked back, "Joel... what the hell did you break?" He waited
 
No answer
 
Benji sighed, "Great... still pissed at me..." He closed his eyes, "Whatever..."
 
The kitchen door opened slowly then shut
 
Benji looked back, "I'm serious!" He sat up, "What the hell did you break!"
 
Nothing
 
Benji sighed and looked away, "Whatever...again! You are such a..."
 
Gurgling started behind him
 
Benji froze and looked back
 
Benji screamed
 
Joel got out of his car and looked at the house, "Benji?" He started running towards the house, "Benji!" He threw the door open and ran in. He looked over at Benji
 
Benji laid on the floor, there were scratches all over him and his clothes torn up
 
Joel ran up, "Oh shit Benji!" He bent down and grabbed him, "Wake up!"
 
Benji moved slightly and looked up at him, "Joel?"
 
Joel hugged him, "You're ok! What the fuck happened?"
 
Benji looked around, "Is he gone?"
 
Joel nodded, "Yes... did Rick come?"
 
Benji nodded, "But... I'm not dead... why not?"
 
Joel sighed and hugged him tighter, "Don’t ask me, maybe cause I showed up..."
 
Benji shook his head, "I don’t think so..."
 
Joel sighed, "Lets get you cleaned up and I wont leave this time.. I promise."
 
Benji nodded
 
Billy laid in bed hugging Hilary when the phone rang
 
Billy rolled over, "Damn it Joel... leave me alone..." He grabbed the phone and put it to his ear, "Joel, if you don’t leave me alone..."
 
Gurgling started through the phone
 
Billy sat up, "Joel... Stop it!"
 
It started getting louder
 
Billy sat up, "Joel I said stop it!"
 
Hilary rolled over, "Billy..."
 
It continued getting louder
 
Billy tossed the phone across the room and covered his mouth tears in his eyes
 
Hilary sat up, "Baby?" She grabbed his hand, "What was that!"
 
Billy quickly reached over and turned on the light. He looked around the room. He got off the bed and bent down looking under it
 
Hilary watched him, "Baby... What's wrong..."
 
Billy stood up and looked at the closet, "He's.. back..." He started towards the closet. He grabbed the doorknob
 
The gurgling started again
 
Hilary looked at the phone, which was obviously broken, "Honey!"
 
Billy looked at the phone while the gurgling started louder and louder
 
Billy looked at the door and started turning the doorknob
 
Hilary got up, "Billy! Don't open the closet!"
 
Billy opened the door
 
The gurgling stopped
 
Billy stood there looking at the dark in the closet
 
Hilary looked at the phone, "Baby..." She looked at him
 
Billy walked into the closet and reached up and turned on the light. He looked around
 
Hilary got up off the bed, "Billy. Come back here right now..."
 
Billy looked at Hilary, "Joel wasn't kidding... He's back. He wants something else..."
 
Hilary watched him, "Baby... what... do you know..."
 
Billy looked around the closet then at Hilary, "Me..."
