Gerald was confused and stunned. What was he supposed to do? He had in his hands the actual head of a man. Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned only to see a black cloak folding around him. He tried to scream, but it was muffled under the grip of whoever had the cloak. The person whispered:24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnweddl7Phb
"Sssshh!"

The person had a raspy and old voice. Like an old woman's. However, Gerald estimated that she was 7 feet tall, and she was incredibly strong (at least, Gerald thought an old woman couldn't pick up a 130 pound teen.) Gerald was carried out of the Amon High School by the mysterious figure. Gerald still had in his hands the head. She quickly opened the door to her truck and threw him in and went to the front seat and started driving. Gerald looked at his kidnapper. She was wrinkly, covered in warts, fat, and was 7 feet tall. She had no hair.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzUJEdh0KZ

"Who are you?"

"I'ma Gwendolen!"

"Why did you kidnap me?!"

"Because you ain't safe child! Ol' Snallygaster's com'in to get ya!"

"What the j*b is Snallygaster!?"

"The Snallygaster is a beast of pure evil that wants to kill you and everyone else in this town. He drop' you a head me sees."

Eventually, the car stopped. Gwendolen stepped out, and Gerald got out as well. When he got out, he realized he wasn't in a car, rather a pickup truck. 

"Put the head in the barrel over there."

Gwendolen pointed a large finger at a barrel next to a shack. Gerald strode over to it and grabbed at the top. It didn't open. He tried multiple times, failing each time.

"Why don't you keeds know how to open a barrel! This is how y'all do it."

She held on and opened it with incredible talent.

"Now, put ye'r head in."

Gerald put the head in the barrel, but when he did, he saw that there were hundreds more in the barrel. He quickly placed it in. 

"Good job. Now go inside me house."

Gerald ran up to the shack and opened the door. It creaked loudly, and when he entered, the first thing he noticed was the awful smell of warped wood, dead rats, and a clogged toilet. The shack only had one room, and the walls were covered in various guns, knives, axes, and a few more exotic weapons, such as a crossbow, ninja stars, a scimitar, a pike, and a atlatl. There was a man sitting on a dark wooden chair sipping on tea. Wait a minute, that man seemed familiar to Gerald... He was the homeless guy from earlier! 

Gerald walked up to the man and implored:24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5upUP9POQ6

"Hey, don't I know you!"

"Were you one of those boys I ran into?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Well, pleased to meet you. "I'm Shaun."

"Hey keed! you know where the rest of your friends are?"

"At school. why?"

"The Snallygaster loves to snack on children. It would be better bait, and they're more knowledgeable about the beast. 

"Not really. Also, I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"

"You won't"

"Wait your just going to kidnap them in the same way you kidnapped me?"

"Yeah."24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHOMd6zXBL
