13 Nights of Horror
Dis: I don't own Inu-Yasha or the legend of Bloody Mary!
A/N: In honor of Halloween I decide to do something that I hope is creepy. I realize that it would be really stupid for people to do these things for so many nights in a row especially around Halloween but oh well!
These are all One-Shots mind you. Ages, places, and characters will change in every one most likely.
Special Note: I made up the poem/spell Mary Worth said in this story. Do Not Steal. Arigatou.
The First Night
"… So she led the police officer back into the bathroom. He told her to go into the stall so they could see if they heard the voice. The woman walked into the stall and there it was! 'Do you want a red jacket?' the disembodied voice asked. 'Y-yes,' the woman said quietly.
"The officers threw open the door as they heard the woman scream. And there she was, lying on the ground, covered in blood, as if she was wearing a red jacket." A light clicked off.
"Your turn Ayame." One of the three girls said.
"Okay then. The story of Mary Worth. Hundreds of years ago, no one is sure how long, there was a woman named Mary Worth. She was an incredibly vain woman, and she was a witch. Young women used to disappear from the village and their bodies were never found. The villagers all believed it was Mary Worth, bathing in the blood of virgins to retain her youth.
"So one night the
villagers gathered their torches and pitch forks and went to the home
of Mary Worth. Her face was horribly disfigured in the fight to
capture her. Two days later, on the night of the full moon, they
burned her at the stake. As she was burning she cried. 'Mirror
mirror on the wall
Mary Worth shall come when called
Dark the
room and light a fire
Represent my funeral pyre
13 times you
say my name
Then you will know of my fame'
"Later that week a group of kids decided to try it. At midnight they gathered in a room with a mirror. A girl stood up and began chanting 'Mary Worth' after thirteen times nothing happened. A boy then decided to try. He said something different though. He chanted 'I believe in Mary Worth'. Thirteen times he said the phrase, just as he finished the candle went out and screams pierced the blackness.
"The boy died that night. Two children went insane, and two more were cut up horribly. All because of Mary Worth, the mirror witch." Ayame finished and shut off her light, the room was now completely dark.
It was a special way of telling stories. Each person has a small light that they turn off after their story. After the last light is out you count off. There is supposed to be one extra voice, that of a spirit.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
"Four."
Screams rose from all three girls as they hurried to turn their lights back on, then the large light in Ayame's bedroom. "Who did that?" Sango demanded.
"It wasn't me!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Well I didn't do it either. I thought I was going to die!" Ayame replied.
"It had to be one of us." Sango said.
"It doesn't matter. Whoever did it isn't gonna say so. Ayame, wasn't that story you told us an urban legend?" Kagome asked with a deep sigh.
"If you think it's an Urban Legend should we try it?" Ayame asked with a grin.
"Yeah!" Sango exclaimed. "You have a candle right Ayame?"
Kagome ran to the desk and grabbed Ayame's candle. "Let's do it in the bathroom." Kagome said.
The three girls headed into the bathroom. They shut the door, lit the candle, and turned off the light. "I'll do it." Sango said as she went to stand right before the mirror.
"I believe in Mary
Worth.
I believe in Mary Worth.
I believe in Mary Worth.
I believe in Mary Worth.
I believe in Mary
Worth." The mirror began to glow red.
"I believe in Mary
Worth.
I believe in Mary Worth.
I believe in Mary Worth.
I believe in Mary Worth.
I believe in Mary Worth." The fuzzy outline of a face appeared.
"I believe in Mary Worth!"
The candle went out. Screams tore from the girls throats and Kagome quickly turned on the light.
Ayame was holding her right arm as blood poured from it. Kagome herself had large cuts on both of her cheeks. And Sango was still standing in front of the mirror staring blankly. A single tear rolled down her cheek.
"She's so lonely." Sango whispered.
"Sango? Sango what happened? Are you okay?" Kagome asked sounding worried.
Sango shook her head to clear her mind and turned to face her friends. "You guys are hurt. Let's get some bandages."
And Sango never spoke of the incident again…

Ah the delightfulness of Urban Legends! I've personally never tried calling Bloody Mary, I prefer not to tempt fate.
