Playful Steve

I couldn't believe what was happening to me right now, I never thought this could happened, he was just standing there I could see only his silhouette and the shinning of his knife swinging in his hands back and forward, I could not react in this time, fear conquered me at that moment, after a long time of silence he spoke to me.
"Hello friend, sorry if I gave you a big fright hahaha, I didn't wanted to do that" he suddenly began to walk to me grabbing a chair heading to the front of my bed, and then seated.
"Who are you and what do you want from me?" I stared to sit on my bed putting my legs away from him, but still he moved closer.
"Don't be afraid, I just wanna ask you a simple question" he mentioned me while leaving his knife in the front pocket of his hoddie. I stared at him for a time I thought to myself that this was just a nightmare and that at any moment I would wake up, yet I knew that I wasn't a sleep at all. The only thing I could do was reply him.
"What type of question?" when he heard that, the madness was about to begin. He only stared at me for a while and pulled out his knife, and laughing so hard it could be heard all around the house.
"Do you wanna play a game? , it's easy just run before I get you, I'll be fair and give you 3 seconds start running" he step back a little giving me space to run yet fear hold me against my bed.
"One.......two......three, ready or not it's time to die! Hahahaha" he returned the sight to me surprised that I didn't move an inch from where I was.   
I only stared at him tears began to come outof me and eventually I let out a big scream, my only hope to call the attention of my parents, but he putted his hand over my mouth shutting me up.
"Shhh, don't worry kiddo, there's nothing to be afraid it's only a game, and you have lost" he suddenly grabbed me by my shirt and prepared himself for my execution. "It's was nice knowing ya" but when the knife was almost to my throat my father tackled him, I reacted and ran to the front hall of the second floor.
I grabbed the phone and called 911 as soon as I told them what just happened I heard a glass break, I ran back to my room, to see my window broken and my father full of cuts in his arms, I looked out the window and saw him running away to the nearby woods that surrounded the neighborhood, laughing while he did it.
After this incident all my neighbors came to help us out after I was almost killed and my dad was seriously injured, the ambulance and the police arrived quickly, I got into the ambulance with my father I was almost fainting, but before the door closed I saw him again, waving his hand at me, he turned around and disappeared in the forest. When I recovered from that experience I decided to look up who was he, I searched, for murders and same incidents as mine, and then I found what I was looking for, I found who was he.
If you ever hear someone asking you that question for the love of your life, run as fast as you can, or you will lose your life.
BEFORE THE INCIDENT
The room was cold and silent for a long uncomfortable period of time, until a voice started coming from downstairs calling for him to wake up, went quiet and called back stronger this time.
"Steve wake up already you are going to miss your first day at middle school" shouted his mother from the stairs already dressed up and heading for the kitchen.
"Don't worry there is plenty of time for me to get ready, it's not like the house is burning" shouted Steve back with a laugh at the end while he jumped out of bed and went to get ready for school.
He got his favorite clothes on dark blue jeans, a black shirt, and his favorite blue hoodie; he went down stairs to the kitchen with his mother to eat his breakfast he finished eating, and got ready to head to the bus stop to start his day.
"Hey easy there, don't want to go all crazy at your school, I have never seen you so enthusiastic to go anywhere and you are always happy" she said looking at his son while he went to the door trying to slow him a little bit.
"Well there is no possible way that anything can go wrong, after all it's only the first day on school" he said stopping in front of the door and turning around starring at his mother "The only thing that could go wrong is getting a lot of homework to do today" continued while joking around and opening the door saying a see you later.
Steve just walked slowly towards the bus stop looking around the park and the new neighborhood, suddenly he found himself followed by two other people walking beside him, Steve stopped and turned to greet them to see if he can start with a few friends.
"Hello I believe we haven't meet before, mind doing that now?" said Steve looking at both of them, extending his hand towards them.
"I don't mind, names Connor" replied shaking his hand with Steve and then looking at his companion.
"My name is Janice, I'm Connor's sister" said a little shy but shaking her hand with Steve, Janice looked the same age as Steve while Connor was two years older.
"Nice to meet you both, by the way I'm Steve, we should better get going we wouldn't want to be late for the first day" said Steve happy to have two new friends all ready and that the school bus has already arrived.
Their first day at school was like any other, introductions to new classmates and teachers, at the end of class the three of them decided to return walking to their homes, so they could talk with no interruptions and know each other better, but long before they could continue walking to their homes a group of five teens showed up out of nowhere, blocking their way.    
"Hey can you get out of the way, you are blocking it" Started Connor raising his voice to the one who was in front of the teens, believing he is the leader.
"Well that's the point genius, we just want all the valuable things you have, we don't want to harm you, as soon you do that, you can all leave" Answered the teen who was in front, now closing in with them.
"And what if we don't want to give you anything?" Said Janice standing in front of them with no fear in her eyes.  
"Well I think we are going to make it the hard and painful way" He snapped his fingers and the other four moved up to them.
"Hey Jack I get dips in the older one's wallet" Said one of the teens to the one who was leading them.
"Hold on there is no need for all of us to get drastic; can't we just let this problem pass?" Said Steve getting in middle of them so he could make them stop, speaking to Jack.
"Let me think that..." He grabbed and threw Steve to the ground "I would say no" Jack tried to kick him in the guts and make him lose all his air, but instead Connor tackled him to the ground and help Steve out. Jack rose, tried to kick them but they hold his leg making him fall again they tried to run but Jack grabbed Connor, Steve returned and hit him with his elbow in his nose, letting Connor go and making a run for it.
"You prick!" Said Jack "YOU ALL BETTER RUN! And beg that I don't see you again, will kill you, I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!" He cursed while Steve, Connor, and Janice ran.
At noon they met at the park to talk about what happened earlier.
"Hey Connor thanks for helping me back there" Started Steve patting Connor on the back.
"Don't even mention it, it was nothing you helped me as well so we are even" Stated Connor.
Janice turned to Steve and hugged him "Thanks for helping my brother"
"To be honest I will do whatever I can to help my friends, that's after all what they are for" Steve confessed "You were brave standing with no fear towards them as well"
"Well thanks again, not many would do what you did" Connor mentioned, then all of them returned to their homes.
Several weeks have passed, they soon forgot about the problem they had with those teens, wet they feel that the worst was about to happen, so every time they went home they decided to stay even together than before. After a few days Janice and Steve became a couple, and they always watched each other's back.
They returned home after their same old day of school looking for any sings of Jack and his gang. While they walked they started talking about them.
"You know not much has changed since we meet Jack, well I kind off brought us together, and it's been so long since we heard of him, think he forgot" Connor said moving a little bit faster than the others.
Suddenly Steve got hit in the back of his head with a rock, and fell flat on the ground, Janice and Connor were held by the other teens Steve tried to visualize Jack, his vision got messed up for a few moments then he saw Jack right in front of him.
"Missed me, I told you I was going to kill you, and I like to keep my own word" he pulled out a pocket knife. "so you care for your friends, what would you do if something bad happen to them" heads towards Connor and stabs him brutally in the chest and abdomen, once he finished with him, he headed towards Janice he could hear the screams and sobbing, the last sound he heard was a siren of the police, then he faints away.
Steve wakes up in a hospital room, and in front of him was Janice, his mother and a police officer, he wasn't in full control he only saw their faces and noticed that something was wrong. The officer came close to him, took a deep breath looking to Janice then to me. "I'm really sorry for your friend", Steve had tears running through his face, Janice only stood quietly beside Steve.
"How...did...he..." Steve recovering his voice, looked at everyone in the room, he was filled with sorrow, and fury, thinking only of what Jack did right in front of his eyes.
"He died... when we arrived at the hospital, the doctors tried to do everything for him but they couldn't save him" she went up in tears and placed her head in the bed, the officer and Steve's mother were talking outside the room.
At noon they returned to their neighborhood, Janice and Steve only sat at the park bench, in silence, feeling very lonely, Janice only saw Steve devastated with the news and saw that he was in somewhat angry way, she hugs him to make him feel better.
"Hey I want to give you this, it's a copy of the picture we took few days back here remember?" she hand it to him they both stare at the happiness in it and at Connor, making it feel that nothing could ever go wrong.
"Thanks, this brings really great memories" he slowly puts it in his hoddie front pocket. "Yet you had more time with him than I did". They hugged a last time before returning to their homes.
At night Steve wasn't able to sleep, through his mind runned images of Jack and his gang dying in painful and horrible ways, yet Steve only enjoyed them and wanted to make them suffer, so he got dressed in his favorite clothes, he knew that there was no going back for what he was about to do, from his closet he pulled out a mask of bright and cheerful colors (green, orange, purple), puts on his dark blue hoddie and heads to the kitchen, and grabbed the butcher knife on the counter, he only grabbed making tape and made a small smiley face on it, and right before leaving he took a piece of paper and wrote a note. Then he leaved the house.
He ran as fast as he could to the las place he saw Jack, for his luck he found them in a nearby alley with other teens getting drunk, laughing as maniacs until they knew someone else was watching them. Jack slowly looked towards Steve was not remembering him, by being too drunk. 
"Hey, are you lost or something? Go away" Jack started slowly getting up with the help of the others.
"You had to bring this on yourself didn't you, there was no need for all the drastic behavior, and we could have been friends" Steve slowly mentioned sliding his hand on his front hoodie pocket.
"What the fuck is he talking about?" one of the other teens walked towards him, holding his bottle hard.
"All of this is just a game for you, hehehe... hahahaha, well then I have to enjoy every single moment" he suddenly stabbed him through the chest cutting until he reached the throat. "Do you wanna play a game?"
Everybody ran away except for Jack and the other two, they stood there in shock, Steve only laughed at the corpse, slowly he started becoming insane.
One of them tried grabbing his hand, to take the knife from him, Steve with all his strength stooped the top of his foot with his heel, when he fell Steve only grabbed his throat and started slicing it until he got most of the blood in his mask.
Jack barked to the other to tackle him, when he tried it Steve only moved away and pushing him to the other side making him fall into a post, he went to him and only laid his foot on his neck, to later on jump on top of his head there by splattering blood, and flesh on the fence.
Watching his friends die in front of his eyes Jack pulled out a gun from his back pocket, trying to aim a direct hit on Steve's heart, Steve took the knife from the dead body, he ran up to him to finish him once and for all, Jack only shot, when he realized he was laying on his feet, Jack moved him and pulled his mask out, then he realized who was he.
"I told you I was going to kill you, I even help you, now you can see your friend again" he only walked away from the body throwing the gun away. "Hope you enjoy hell!"
"You know Jack if you tried to kill me at least watch were you are shooting" Steve only stood up from the ground and got his mask back on, then he rushed towards Jack tackling him and grabbing his throat, he started stabbing him with all the adrenaline he had, stabbing him brutally until, he only laid his knife in Jack's mouth, he was still breathing and sobbing in pain.
"Don't worry this is just a game, you should thank me, you'll soon meet your friends" dived the knife in his lips making a of a smile, he took his mask away, and with the blood spilled in it he made a smile, he started felling calm, and full of adrenaline, he started to laugh like a maniac, he found murder a fun thing to do than just for revenge. He started getting his head flooded with these thoughts.
Suddenly he remembered the photo and the note that were on his pockets, he pulled them out and snapped out of his instant madness, he heard the sirens getting closer and he ran away from the place back to his neighborhood. "I can't let... madness... control me ... not yet" repeated Steve before killing the one person left he cares for.
On the next morning there was news of the murder of four teenagers Janice recognized one of them, he killed his bigger brother and now he was dead with a great scar that looks like a smile in his face, she walked out of the house and found a note on the door she read it and she entered in shock after what she had just read.
Janice I know this might seem like a lie, but it's not; if you are reading this note it means I'm already gone, I had to do this, I couldn't forgive Jack, I'm changing so I must stay away from you, just to protect you from myself the least I want you to remember the good times, so I trust that you can understand what I will do.
I don't want to tell you this is goodbye, but I want you to stay joyful before any of this ever happened if I ever see you don't fear I might control my inner madness. Goodbye Janice yours Steve.
