'''Hello. My name is Amanda Doe. I… don’t know how to put this. I was part of a small party a few days ago that ended badly. I’m writing this to explain to everyone what happened and why… why I killed my friends and family.'''

'''Let me start off by saying I didn’t want it to happen. But I had no choice. That creature would’ve killed me unless I… sorry. I keep going off track. Let’s restart.'''

'''It was a gloomier day in the city. The sky was filled with gray clouds. I was walking to the store to grab food for later that night. We were having a couple of friends over for a game night. '''

'''I walked down the street, heading towards the shopping district. Okay, I need potato chips, nachos, salsa, nacho cheese. This is gonna be one hell of a game night! As I walked I kept thinking about my friends and how nice it was going to be to see them.'''

'''But as I walked, some commotion from behind me pulled me out of my thoughts. I turned to see what was going on. A boy, roughly 16 years old, was being chased by what looked to be the owner of some building.'''

'''As he passed by me, I caught a glimpse of his face. He looked like he was frightened by all of hell. I instinctively reached out to grab his hand. And I did. But once I had done so, I ran with him, helping him escape from the owner.'''

'''After running for a few blocks, we stopped at the mouth of an alley. I hadn’t run like that in a while. It felt good to run like that. To run for your life.'''

“T-thanks.” He spoke.

“No problem, kid.” I replied.

'''I looked closer at him. He had cuts and bruises on his arms and face. Poor kid.'''

“You look pretty beat up.”

'''“When you have a life like mine, you tend to get beat up.” he explained. I walked up to him and took a closer look at his wounds. They weren’t too bad, but they’d still need to be taken care of.'''

'''“I can take care of those wounds for you.” I offered. He looked at me curiously.'''

“Are you sure?”

'''“Yeah. I’m a nurse down at the children’s hospital. Just help get some things from the market and then we can get to my house where I can tend to your wounds.”'''

'''“I don’t know what to say. I… thank you!” He cheered as he hugged me. I didn’t expect him to be so happy. Maybe he didn’t have this kindness in his regular life.'''

'''In any case, we got to work. We headed for the market, making sure to keep an eye out for the owner. The boy and I walked for a couple of blocks, until finally we made it to the market. We searched around looking for snacks perfect for a game night.'''

'''Chips, soda, cheese, and salsa. This is gonna be great. We got all of they’re snacks and headed on their way.'''

-33 minutes later-

'''We took a while, but we made it back to the apartment building I lived at. We walked in and headed for the elevator. The door opened and we stepped inside. I felt my hand against the bag of food. This should be enough, right?'''

“You having a party?” the boy asked.

'''“Yeah, were gonna eat some good food, play some fun games. It’s going to be epic.” I chuckled. I looked over at the boy. His eyes were widened. He looked over at me.'''

'''“Well, I hope you’re not playing so you can get money. It’s better just to play for fun.” He sighed.'''

'''“No, we won’t be betting or anything. Just playing for fun.”'''

'''He smiled an honest smile. I guess he doesn’t want me to lose any money. That’s what I thought.'''

'''The elevator door opened and we walked out. I walked up to my door and unlocked and opened it. The two of us walked in and headed for the kitchen.'''

'''“Kyle! I’m home!” I greeted. My husband, Kyle, walked into the kitchen. He looked at the situation he was presented with and knew exactly what to say.'''

“So… who’s the kid?”

'''“He’s… oh yeah. What is your name?”'''

“Jason.”

'''“Jason… wait. You’re not Jason Armack, are you?”'''

'''“No. I’m aware of who that is, but that is not me.” Jason explained.'''

'''“Damn, that would’ve been cool. Well, anyways. Amanda, our guests will be here soon. Let’s get stuff set up. You’re welcome to join, Jason. Just expect some grown up talk.” Kyle explained.'''

“Sure.”

'''“Great! Now let’s get to work!”'''

'''The three of us nodded and we got to work. We cleaned the remaining dishes, set out all the food, and got out the games. That’s when I remembered I needed to tend to Jason’s wounds. I looked around for him, but I couldn’t find him. I searched in the hall leading to my bedroom and saw light coming from the bathroom.'''

'''Stupidly, I opened the door. And what I saw horrified me. A black stick figure creature was popping out of Jason’s back. He turned to see my curious eyes staring back at him. He held his finger up to his mouth and shushed me. I nodded slowly. The creature clawed its way back inside him, and he walked back out of the bathroom.'''

'''A knock came from the front door. I walked back out to the living room, still slightly shocked by what happened. Kyle opened the door and let in our guests. In came my friend Sasha, Kyle’s friend Greg, and his husband Michael. We all greeted each other.'''

'''Everyone got settled, including Jason. We talked for a couple of minutes, recalling old stories, new stories, and everything in between. Then, they had some good food and began the night of games.'''

-1 hour later-

'''It was a long build up, but Greg finally won the Monopoly game. It was getting dark so everything was getting better. But I was still on edge. Why was that… thing inside of Jason? As I got up to go get a new drink, Jason followed behind me.'''

As I got in the kitchen, I started up a conversation.

“What was that thing?”

'''“You don’t need to worry about that. You won’t live long enough to know. And if you think about  telling anyone, I’ll set the beast loose on this entire apartment. Capisce?” Jason explained.'''

'''I… nodded. He smiled. This kid is a menace. The two of us walked back into the living room. We sat down and began talking again. We talked about many things. Creepy stories we’d heard, food we though zombies could eat. And then Jason began talking about games again.'''

'''“I actually have a game I found in the trash. I remember reading about it in a post. Would you guys like to play it?” Jacob asked.'''

“Sure kid.” Sasha agreed.

“Sounds fun.” Greg and Michael spoke.

'''Jason reached into one of his coat pockets and pulled out a cyan colored cube. Kyle dropped his glass.'''

'''“Nobody touch it!” Kyle commanded. Everyone was really confused, but did as he said. He looked at Jason with a hate filled stare. “So you are Jason Armack!”'''

“Wait, the kid from that Creepypasta?” Greg asked.

'''“That stuff was real? No, it can’t be.” Michael denied.'''

'''“Actually I go by my code name 13. But you may call me Jason, if you must.” he explained.'''

'''He placed his hand on the cube. It began glowing a green light.'''

“So, who’s ready to play?” 

'''The cube released a cloud of smoke into the room. Everyone began coughing because of said smoke. After a few minutes of fog filled lungs, the smoke cleared giving sight to a creature standing next to Jason. It was completely black, except for its eyes which were gold and magenta.'''

“Welcome to the most exciting game night ever!” the creature spoke.

'''“Everyone stay away from those two! They’re monsters.” Kyle spoke.'''

“If you feel that way, then I guess we shouldn’t go easy on you.” Jason sighed.

'''“Isaac’s rules. Freeze tag. You run, they tag.” the creature explained. The monsters clawed their way out of both of their backs. Then they began the chase. '''

'''Everyone ran from the creatures. Greg and Kyle tried their best to stay away, however the same couldn’t be said for Michael. The creatures grabbed either end of his body and ripped him in half. His organ were still connected to both halves.'''

'''Sasha was next. One of them grabbed her by the legs and slammed her on the ground. It broke the ground with her body. It dropped her body and went for the next. There’s gotta be some way to beat them. Wait!'''

'''I tried staying perfectly still. And the creatures passed right by me… and went straight for Kyle and Greg. I turned around to see the creatures tear into the two. Tears streamed from my eyes. I can’t… no… NO! I ran at the creatures, full of hate and emotion. They looked back at me, blood on their claws and faces.'''

'''I slammed my fists into them, scraping away at the creatures skin. I clawed and clawed until my skin was rough and bloodied. Then I felt something hit the back of my head, and I was out cold.'''

-Some time later-

'''I awoke in a bedroom that was not my own. I studied my surroundings and noticed I was not alone in this room. There was another female inside. She looked at me when she noticed me wake up. She walked up to the edge of the bed.'''

“You feel okay, Amanda?” she asked.

'''“I… yeah. How do you…?”'''

'''“The surgery was difficult. It’s easier to do when you’re awake, but we got it done.”'''

'''“The surgery!? What happened to me!?”'''

'''“You… are now one of us.” A familiar voice spoke. I looked up to see that Jason had entered the room. Hate instantly filled me once again.'''

“What did you do!?” I yelled.

'''The creature popped out of Jason’s back. It towered over the three of us. That when I pieced it together. They put one of those creatures inside of me. Tears began to flow from my eyes. I’m a monster…'''

'''“I’m going to tell the world of what you did. They’ll all know.” I hissed.'''

The two of them smiled.

“That’s the plan.” Jason chuckled.

'''And that’s how I got this computer. They had me type up a recap of how this happened. If I didn’t, they said they’d kill me. I don’t believe that. I think they need me for something. They’re planning something big, and no one will be exempt from it.'''

'''Tell the world. These games are just the beginning. Tell the world!'''
