The Hutenghast

A group of 12 year old children have been lured on a school trip to Bavaria by an old woman. She is the earthly servant of a being not of this world, called The Hutenghast. 

Unbeknown to them, seven of the party have been specifically chosen as a sacrifice for this inhuman beast. In order to sustain itself, The Hutenghast must periodically take seven souls, and this is done by the reading a script. 

Those who read or hear the script (called The Telling), when they next sleep, he comes to them in their dreams, he sucks all the moisture from their bodies, taking their souls along with it. 

The Hutenghast needs a mixture of male and female children, and so when The Great Being (a God like figure), intervenes by sending a dense fog, the boys and girls get separated on their journey to the old woman's lair, and all the plans goes awry. 

No longer able to use The Telling, The Hutenghast has one magic bullet that he can use just once, called 'The Knife of Life and Death'.

He has no other choice now. He has to go for it!
