The Darkness

 

Chapter One

 

***Friday, May 15, 1976***

Eric Forman was sitting on the hood of his new Vista Cruiser with his girlfriend Donna. "Can you believe this really happened?" Donna asked. "Not really," Eric began while looking at the gash on his arm. "but this proves it did." They were talking about the tragic event that happened a month ago...

 

***Monday, April 11, 1976***

 

Eric and his friends were all in the basement, talking about what to do that weekend. "I think we should just stay here." Kelso said. "Kelso, we always do that, we should do something fun for once." Fez replied. "Ugh! Drinking is fun!!" Kelso huffed. "Kelso, Fez has got a point. I say we should go camping." Eric added. Sounds of approval came from the other five people in the room. "But where?" Jackie asked. "Simple, Jackie," Hyde began. "in a place called paradise." "But where is this paradise?" Donna asked. Hyde paused. "I don't know."

 

"I've got it!" Eric announced. "Out of state!" "Out of state?" the others mocked in confusion. "Let's get the map, and pick out a cool state to camp in for the weekend!" Eric said. He went to his room and rummaged through papers for his USA map. Where are you? I know I have a map somewhere in here! He thought. When he found it, he was glad to see it was in mid condition and readable.

 

He got back to the basement and flopped on the couch next to Kelso. "Okay, we can go to California..." Eric started. "No way! Bums!" Jackie denied. "Or...we can go to Oregon?" Eric offered. "No," Donna said. "too hot." Eric started mentioning off other states, which ended up being all disagrees. Then finally they came up with an agree. "Okay," Eric started. "we're going to Montana!" Then, when the guys all left, Eric and Hyde went upstairs to eat dinner.

 

"What? No, Eric, you are not going to Montana!" Kitty yelled. "Now, Kitty, clam down. If dumbass here wants to go, let him go." Red replied. "Thanks dad." Eric said. "Shut the hell up and go sweep the garage." Red said firmly.

"Everyone ready?" Eric called. "Yeah," Donna began. "let's go camping!!" They left around 4:00 and got there at 9:00. The weather was great and the sky was pitch black. Donna was afraid. They were in the woods, far too deep to get help if something bad happens, and it was dark. But the light from the fire made it easier to see. Everyone was going to stay in the large cabin behind them. "...and when he looked in the room, two shiny yellow eyes were looking at him. He turned on the light...to see it was a cat!" Kelso finished. "Oh come on! That's so retarded!" Eric said. He turned to Hyde. "You've got to know something better than that!" "I do," Hyde said with a smirk. "but it's way to scary for you." "Oh c'mon Hyde! Tell us!" Donna and Jackie said. "Okay, but I warned you..." Hyde began. "It was right here. In this very spot of the woods. Where the campers were found...dead." Everyone was shivering. Hyde smiled and continued.

 

"The cops said they died from some bears or something, but they knew what it really was. It was The Insane Hunter. His real name was Charles Anthony Rodenbarry, but he was insane. They sent him to a mental hospital two years before the kill. And they say he is still out here. Killing any campers near this site!" Hyde said. "Y-you mean...right here?" Jackie asked quietly. "YES! Right here!" "A-and he's st-still here?" Kelso and Fez shivered. "Yep, he's still here." Hyde answered.

 

"Uhm...I-I think w-we should call it a n-night." Eric supposed. They all went inside except for Jackie and Kelso. "Are you scared, Jackie?" Kelso asked. "Yes, very. But it is just a story." Jackie replied. "Yeah just a story." Kelso laughed. "All story's are fake. And Hyde made this one up." Jackie added. "Yeah, Hyde's a real--" "Shh! Did you hear that?" Jackie shushed. "No, I don't hear anything." Kelso said. Then they heard a crunching from the deeper part of the woods. They kept silent to see if they heard it again. But sure enough, nothing was heard. "Perhaps we should go in." Jackie said. "Yeah, it was probably just a skunk." Kelso added. When they turned around, Jackie fell back a step and gasped. There was a person in front of them.

 

"Uhm, excuse me, do you need directions or anything?" Kelso asked. No response. The person took one step forward, then another. Then Kelso's eyes widened as something struck his ribs. Jackie gaped at the site and leapt back about a foot. Kelso looked down and saw an arrow in his chest. When the person pulled the arrow out, Kelso tried to get away, but the person stuck the arrow through his throat. Kelso died instantly. At that, Jackie screamed and ran. The person looked at Jackie, and then turned, still having Kelso in his grasp, and went back into the woods.

 

***5 Minutes Earlier***

 

"So, Hyde, was all of that real?" Donna asked. "Nah, it was just a joke. Bet it scared Jackie!" Hyde laughed. "Where's Forman?" he added. "I don't know, he should be here." Donna said. "Well, he isn't." Hyde said. "Donna, I've always had feelings for you." Hyde said. "Like I didn't know! God, Hyde, you've been hitting on me for years! While I was dating Eric!" Donna yelled. "Donna, listen-" "No Hyde! YOU listen! I don't like you, okay, I am going out with Eric! Now leave me alone!" Donna shouted. She left the room angrilly. Afterwards, Hyde heard a scream outside. Eric came into the room. "That sounded like Jackie." Hyde said. "She must have seen a deer or something." Eric added. Hyde laughed and nodded. The two boys went outside to see.
