Chapter 7
Matt suddenly turned around. "What the hell was that?" It sounded as though something or someone had been sliced to death. He suddenly became very worried and thought at once of Jericho and Raven. "Oh my gosh, I hope nothing's happened to them. I better go check." he said. He left where he was and ran directly towards the lake, the same area where he had heard that horrid noise.

Meanwhile, at the cabin... "Did you guys hear that?" asked Edge. "It sounded like a saw or something."
"My gosh, they're taking so long. I'm so nervous." said Lita.
"Calm down, Lita. They should be home soon." said Trish.
"You know what the worst part about this is? They've been out there for almost two hours. If they're not here that can only mean that they have bad news. I'll never see any of them again, I just know it." said Monica, who suddenly broke down crying.
Christian came and gave her a hug. "It'll be fine, Monica. All that matters is that we're all here and we'll never leave each other." he said.
"Oh, Christian. I just want them to be safe and back here with us." Monica said. Suddenly, they were interrupted by a strong, hard pounding outside the cabin door.
"Oh, my gosh, what is that????" yelled Trish. They all ran to the door.
"No, get away from the door! It could be the killer! Remember that noise earlier?" said Edge.
"Guys, let me in!!!" a voice screamed.
"Hey, that sounds like Matt." said Jeff. Jeff unlocked the door.

For sure, it was Matt. "Matt, what's wrong? Wait a minute. Where is everybody?" screamed Lita. Matt just stood there quiet, a very grim expression on his face.
"Matt, what is it?" asked Shane.
"I don't know how to say this..." he started.
"Come on, man, just say it." said Jeff.
"Raven, Jericho, and Terri won't be coming home tonight." he said. "What are you saying?" asked Monica with a very nervous tone in her voice.
"I'm saying that they've been murdered. I found all three of them together by the lake." he said.
"Oh, my gosh...." the girls murmured. Almost everyone broke down crying.
"I can't believe any of this. I've never seen anything like this in my whole life." said Matt.
"How did you find them?" asked Shannon.
"Well as you know, we all split up to look for Terri and I stayed around the cabin, but I didn't find anything. I called out for Terri but I never got an answer. Then just as I was gonna go look for Raven and Jericho to see if they had found her, I heard this really gruesome noise. It scared the heck out of me." Matt said.
"The chainsaw, right? I heard it from here, too." said Edge.
"Anyway, it sounded so sick. And I could've sworn I heard screaming, so I ran over to the lake. As soon as I got there, I could tell there was something wrong. That's when I saw this huge lump lying by the the big oak tree near the lake. I went over to it. It was Raven, dead. He was holding tight to Jericho's pendant. He must've found it after Jericho died. Next to Raven's body, a little to the right, I found Jericho and Terri's bodies. They were a disgusting sight, all bruised and raw-looking. I couldn't even speak. All I could do was run home fast. That's why he have to leave...now." said Matt.
"I can't believe any of this is happening. Who's out there?? Who did this?? Why did they do it???" asked Monica.
"We can't stay here much longer. Something is out there and it's dangerous." said Matt.
"But how are we gonna leave? What if whoever is out there is waiting for us to come out so he can kill us, too?" asked Christian.
Suddenly, the lights went out completely. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" they all screamed.
"Oh, gosh, he's here....oh no!!!!" Trish screamed. They all huddled to the middle of the room and sat on the floor, clinging to each other and crying. Was this the end............?
