Chapter One: Cursed
Abby Andrews heaved a sigh of relief as she closed the door on the final party guest. She never knew how tiring one could get from having a birthday party. Her long blonde hair, as usual, was in her way and pulled a lock behind her ear as she turned to glare at her older brother, of 5 minutes, who wore a smirk upon his face. She immediately found out why he was looking at her like that when she was picked up and tickled to merciless death. She was laughing so hard when her mom entered the room holding out their coats for them.
"Come on you three settle down we have things to do. Abby and David, your father and I have one more present for each of you. You guys get ready while I find Emma and get her bundled up for this January weather." As she said this in stumbled five year old Emma looking very proud of herself.
"Look, mama, look! I put my shoes on all by myself, see!"
Everybody burst into fits of laughter as they looked to see that indeed she had done her shoes herself. Everyone respected her for the valiant try even if they happened to be on the wrong feet. David saw the tears start to swell up and took pity on her.
"Con here my little munchkin, you did such a wonderful job but your poor little toesies are going to get sore if you keep them that way. Let's fix this before we go on our walk, ok sweetheart."
"Davi, why was everyone laughing at me, it made me sad."
"We weren't laughing at you cutie pie, we were laughing next to you, there is a significant difference," piped up Abby as she came to put Emma's coat on her.
Abby and David finished getting Emma ready and put on their own coats. When everybody was ready they went outside into the bitter cold winter of Fairbanks, Alaska.
"So you guys are surprised until the very end, we have these blind folds for you so if you would just please place them over your eyes and we will begin our short walk around the corner."
"Ooo, this has got to be interesting if you are going all out," said Abby in a barely concealed squeal.
The close knit family, Abby guided by her dad and David guided by his mom, walked down until they reached their destination. In a flourish of excitement they counted down from 5 and the twins took their blind-folds off at the same time.
"SURPRISE!" Their parents yelled and look for some reaction in their kids.
"Oh" Exclaimed Abby letting her jaw drop,
"My" Remarked David also lost for words,
"God" Finished Abby with a squeal of delight,
In front of them stood two beautiful cars with big bows tied around them. Abby ran to look at the one that had her name taped to it and was glad this is the one she got. It was a blue, refurbished 1967 mustang GT with two white racing stripes running along it.
"Oooo," she whispered as she traced a finger on the glossy paint.
David still hadn't moved and looked like he was frozen as he looked at his silver Ford hybrid. Abby ran back to her twin, looked at him with a mock confused expression then gave him a shove toward his car. David looked at the delicate work that was put into on the paint and a tear went down his face.
"Aw is wittle Davy cwaying?" Abby teased as David returned to them and went red. They turned to their parents who held out keys for each of them.
"Go check them out kiddos," their dad teased.
"Emma? oh where did she get to now," The mom said sounding a little frustrated.
"Emma?" their dad said looking around.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa," Emma's voice screamed.
"EMMA!" all four of them shouted and then Abby and David's parents ran toward the direction of the scream. Abby exchanged a quick looked with her brother before both of them went and followed their parents. They ran deep into the forest that outlined their home. When they drew nearer they heard a faint rustling and two drawn out screams. All of a sudden Abby tripped on a lump in the trail. She looked down and saw Emma's face covered in blood and frozen in pain. Abby screamed and could not control the tears that were coming out of her eyes. Hastily she got up and all was quiet, too quiet, not even the birds were singing. David pulled on Abby's arm and pointed at the ground that Held the limp form of their Mother. Fighting back a scream Abby and David looked around for any sign of their dad. David heard it first a low rumble. Turning around slowly they found their dad being strangled by a wolf like creature.
"Dad," Abby shrieked. David quickly covered her mouth with his hand but the beast heard them and turned to face them. David heard a snap and the beast threw the limp body of their father.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Abby yelled and she ran at the werewolf and lunged but it caught her in the middle with its teeth and Abby felt pain like never before.
"NO! You let her go you bastard!" David shouted as he picked up a rock and flung it at him. The werewolf turned and let go of Abby and started to run at David. Abby heard two crunches and all of a sudden pain, like a thousand knives digging into her, shot up her legs. She heard a thud behind her and knew David was down.
David heard the werewolf getting closer but was blinded by the blood in his eyes falling from his forehead. He felt a tongue tracing his stomach and before he knew it he was being ripped to shreds by canine teeth. David looked into the Wolfs cold grey eyes and whispered. "You will pay," the wolf made a menacing grin and was about to make a kill when something caught his attention and it looked around. His grin turned into a look of fear as it bolted away. The last thing either of the teenagers could remember were sirens blaring as they fell into unconsciousness covered in their own blood. January 16th a birthday neither twin would ever forget.
