Five Days

He followed me in my dreams. The fucked up almost puppet boy followed me into my fucking dreams. And he was smiling with this freaky gleefulness. Like he's happy as fuck that he's following me. Into places like a fucking slaughterhouse where I would die. And be made into food. Or into a maze of books that had unreadable names. When I was there..I saw a little girl walk towards me. She was the little girl in Ava's videos. That dream ended with her killing me. Strangling me with a jump rope.

Every damn dream ends with me dying in some horrible fashion.

My latest dream was this woods.

It was dark,cold and had the oddest smell of..of death. Like there were several rotting things nearby. But I couldn't stop walking. No matter how hard I tried to stop walking. As I walked the sounds of horrible screaming filled my ears. Several children voices. None sounded familiar. In these horrid fucking woods,I saw little bodies hanging by either their feet or their necks.

They drip not blood but freaky discolored gunk. Oranges,purples but mostly blue.

None of it got on me. I made sure that I'd never be covered in this stuff. I noticed that as I walked forward that I was getting closer to a big clearing.

There was nothing there. Just dead grass with wilted flowers. As I walked into it,I began to hear children voices. From behind me. When I turned around I saw the hanging children were singing some song that I've heard from childhood. But it was messed up and wrong. They would sing,"Hush little baby don't say a word,Momma's gonna buy you a mocking bird..and if that Mocking Bird won't siiiing...Momma's gonna rip off her wiiiing..."

They sang that over and over as this loud thunking came from all around me. The thunking sounded like fucked up footsteps. I had the urge to run. To move. To get out of there. My legs wouldn't obey me. My body stayed perfectly still as the sound got louder and louder.

Warm and moist air blew against my legs. I looked from the corner of my eye the best way I could and I saw a shape. No I couldn't make it out well but it wasn't human. I could tell by the way it moved. It wasn't alone. The almost puppet boy asks,"Why do you fucking die in these dreams,Kore? Can't you control them?"

I couldn't answer him. He lets out an annoyed sigh and says,"I see. Enjoy your pain,Kore."

...I felt the fucking creature tear me apart..I saw it eat my organs...I woke up in a cold sweat and went about my usual routine. I've been trying to forget the freakishness of my dreams. The fact I could feel pain. The every fucking thing.

Sage...the hell is the meaning of all this?

.......I failed...I failed you...I'm sorry,Maiden. But I can't stay anymore. I'm sorry...

Creepy Guy

...I really need to make a better name for this dude other than 'Creepy Guy'. Cuz that sounds extremely childish/silly.

I was thinking maybe Condor Freak? Cuz he's kinda big and I dunno if he eats dead things but he kinda smells like dead things. (At least lately he does.)

The shows have become less frequent now. I've been getting a bit of a break from them. I still haven't figured out where I've seen that guy from. But I know I've seen him somewhere.

Uggh..can't think. Head hurts so much right now...

So Familiar and Yet Not

I suppose I shouldn't be worried. But why is it more people are seeing this shit now? Why the fuck are children starting to see these horrible shows? It doesn't make any sense to me why they're just now seeing them.

Any ideas at all,Sage?

....they're branching out for more victims...oh fuck...

Last night was a fun episode of Candle Cove. The Skin Taker may or may not had killed SV and his two new friends. Now he's after Janice and Percy. Well at least now the show is going back to what it's supposed to be. Not sure if I'm happy with that or not.

Binx show wasn't on but there was a news report about a death that I know hasn't happened yet. It was about one of my neighbors. Apparently they had committed suicide with a gun. They did it a week after the Fourth of July.

No name on the person who did that but I know it hasn't happened. I see all my neighbor's at various times of the day and I know they're fine.

Then the show moved onto stuff about an anniversary for an accident that claimed three lives. That hasn't happened either. And supposedly will happen in about four months.I think it was a drunk driver who'd slammed into a power line with his friends after some form of party. It showed the faces of the people who had died and I didn't recognize them at all.

Three random people who might die in four months. Three random people that I can't warn because I don't know who the hell they are. And even if I did,I doubt they'd believe a word I'd tell them.

No one would.

After this another creepier show came on. It was that horrible puppet contest where normal people were dressed up as puppets. This time there were new contestants. A boy and a few girls.

The boy was up and he was asked to name the last letter of the alphabet. He looked and sounded somewhat confident that he could name it. With a gentle smile he said,"Z."

"We're sorry,that's incorrect. We were looking for the Canadian alphabet,Zed.",the host said in a voice that suggested he wasn't sorry. Looking a bit worried the boy started to sweat and begged to be let go. To just be able to go home.

They wouldn't let him.

And they wouldn't let the girls either when they started to beg to be let go. This went on for a while. The contestants would get answers wrong and the host along with the judges would laugh at them. After an hour or so the show was over and the screen went back to what I was watching in the DVD player.

Something seemed familiar about the boy from the puppet contest. Can't quite put my finger on it but he looked really familiar. Like there was something about his eyes and the way he talked that seemed so...I dunno...I think I might've been imagining it. Like seriously imagining it.

But he really seemed like someone I knew.

All Other Things

Okay onto the shows.

Kids are still talking about them. Some are drawing them. One of the kids had drawn Tina with this freaky cut up mouth and then drew her with this...this rotting hole in her back. Like in the most horrifying place possible.

The middle of her spine.

I asked the kid where he saw that and he told me that he had seen it on TV last night. He said that she was crying a lot and the people she was with weren't helping her. And he said that one of them started beating her for no reason. The boy asked me if she was my sister because I looked like her. I told him that I was and he told me,"How come your letting those people hurt her?"

I didn't really say anything and he left with his dad. What he said is still going through my mind and I feel guilty for what's happening to Tina. But I don't know how to fix it. I don't know where she is either.

Alice tells me that she's been trying to get the police over there. That she's trying to get Tina to stay with her but no matter what she does Tina ends up going back to them. And she's getting pissed that she can't keep Tina away from those guys.

She's also talked about a nightmare she's been having of this creepy creature. This really freaky creature who's been at the end of her bed for the past few nights. When she described it,I nearly had a panic attack.

It was the fucking RAKE. The fucked up claw creature that kills everything savagely. It's been in her fucking home this whole time.

I can't believe I didn't realize this sooner. First she sees the friggin' Cold Boy now the Rake? What the hell is gonna show up next?

UGHHH!!!

He Came Around

Okay. I was hoping that Creepy McCreepdude would leave me alone after the last time he was around.

NOPE.

He decided to hang out here instead. And he does it when my boss isn't around to kick his ass out. (She absolutely hates the guy and wants to keep him out. I don't think she can do that legally though.) Each time I sit by myself,he sits in a place near me.

Each time I finish using my laptop to go work,he follows and sits at the counter.

I clean up the back hall and he's there pointing out the places I've missed.

When I make cookies he buys the first one I put out.

My other coworkers think he's just a normal creepy stalker. Can't tell them that they're sorta right. He kind of is a stalker. But he sure as hell ain't normal by any means.

I kinda want to get a restraining order but honestly he's not doing anything really criminal. Being a freaky dickwad isn't criminal. So I think I'm going to have to wait for him to do something worse to me before I can get any police help. Yay...

'Kore'

Finally. D:<

Been trying to type this post for the past few days.

Anyway onto the freaky shit.

I was at work,washing the dishes and I saw this dude in the corner of my vision. At first he looked like one of the puppet people and I nearly screamed. But when I turned around he looked like a normal,confused and sorta worried dude. (I might've made a weird squeeky noise so that probably startled him.) He asked in a polite tone,"You alright there,Kore?"

"...y..yeah..wait,what did you call me?"

"Kore.",he said shrugging. I raised a brow at this and questioned,"Can I help you with anything?"

"Yes,Kore. I'd really like an application.",he answered with a goofy grin. Giving my nicest smile,I said,"Sure. Hang on a sec."

So I went through the kitchen and to the back office. Told my boss what was going on and she came with me to the front. The dude was still there. Still smiling like a doofus. Tapping his fingers on the counter as my boss hands him one. She noticed that he was staring at me while he walked over to one of the tables near by. And he was briefly glancing at me while he filled out his application. My boss,the friendliest and calmest person I know,told me to head into the back and get something that I knew wasn't there.

I heard her ask him a few questions about why he wanted to work there. Didn't really hear his answer but I heard the name 'kore' being tossed around a few times. He even spelled it out for her in a snotty voice,"Kay,Ohh,Arr,Eee. Kore."

I don't think my boss liked his attitude much. After getting the application filled out,he left and my boss came back into the office and asked me if I knew the guy. Told her that I didn't and she told me,"Well. He's not getting a job here. That's for damn sure."

I grinned and continued on with my shift. Then stayed to use the internet and all that. I told a friend of mine on skype about this and it freaked her out. Especially after I looked up the meaning of 'Kore'.

It's another name for Persephone and it means 'the Maiden'...I can't tell if he's really a puppet person or if he's just a new creep. I really hope he isn't a new creep.

My Invisible Protector?

These past four days I've been watching and hearing kids in the cafe talk about the TV shows I usually see. Each of them also seeing new things as well. Like stuff about my house that really creeped me out. And how they saw a weird old guy walking around the kitchen and my bedroom.

From what one kid said,the old man wore a black robe and was holding a weird necklace. She said that she didn't see much of his face. I would have asked her what the necklace looked like if not for the fact her mother rushed her out of the place.

I noticed that Candle Cove was focused on the SV and the Skin Taker now. Each episode was of them fighting each other. Neither getting an upperhand on the other. Horrible Horrace was rarely shown. And when he was,he was seemingly running from two people.

Couldn't tell whom they were but I think they were a couple. Both wore robes like the old man in my house supposedly did. Both carrying baseball bats as well.

Binx hasn't been on in a while. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. Probably isn't.

Little Sister is going to kill her..I just know it...

Kids Are Seeing

Now any kid who comes near me is seeing this shit. A little girl kept babbling about how she was scared of the Skin Taker yesterday. Her brother pretended he wasn't but I could tell he was.

What the fuck is going on?

I'm Seeing Things

There were no strings in my friends. I was seeing things. I had to have been. None of the puppets have come back. They're not coming for me.

But the Sage...I saw someone,an older man last night sitting on my lawn. He was holding onto an odd peice of branch like it was a club. At first,I thought it was my neighbor and that he was drunk. But I remembered that he works nights now. And that he had no one else in his home.

I thought of calling the cops but after like a few minutes of staring he disappeared. It was the freakiest thing I'd ever witnessed. So I ran outside to the spot where he was and there was no proof he'd even been there. The stupid thing he held like a club was even gone.

What the fuck does this mean? Sage? Was that you?

I'm sorry...I'm sorry I scared you...I'm sorry...
