Hello my loyal readers. Now I know that I haven't been writing but I don't seem to have any ideas for some of my stories. I seem to be stuck. However, this new story has been going on between me and my friends for a year now.
Now the characters are based on my friends, since there are four of us.
And my love, thank you for being my beta once again and my partner.
Now, I do own these characters (and my friends since I'm considered the leader of the group) and everything else in this chapter since technically, nothing that has to do with Bleach is in here yet.
Now, enjoy!
Chapter 1
Third person point of view
"Katie, are you sure we're going the right way?" Claire asked as the trio of teenage girls walked on. Shadow stayed in the back, ignoring life as she went along behind the idiot named Katie and her best friend, Claire.
"Of course we are! This is me and I never get lost!" Katie boasted. White cloud thought bubbles came from Claire and Shadow's heads, showing a memory of the time Katie called because she got lost… In her own house!
"We're doomed," Shadow muttered with a sigh. Claire was nodding in agreement. Katie rolled her baby blue eyes and carried on, with two reluctant friends grumbling in the background. Then, the tapping of black suede ankle boots sounded behind the group. They turned to see their fourth and final addition to the group, Nix.
"You idiots weren't supposed to ditch me! You were supposed to pick me up from getting Starbucks!" Nix yelled, running up to the 'idiots.'
"Blame it on the idiot named Katie. She dragged us off, we couldn't pick you up," Claire grumbled, planning ways to torture and hopefully kill Katie, making Shadow snigger and Katie pout.
"I did no such thing!" Katie objected. This outburst made the three friends with brains look at her funny. "Fine! I did! Happy?" Katie pouted.
"And she got better grades than us how?" Shadow whispered to Claire as the group of four moved on. Claire shrugged her shoulders and noticed the slow evil smile that slipped onto the brown haired girl's face. "Hey, Katie?" Shadow sniggered.
"Yes?" Katie answered, not noticing how Shadow was acting. Ah poor naïve Katie, Shadow thought.
"Naraku in a pink suit," Shadow said with a grin. A sound of disgust bounced off the buildings as Katie shuddered. A round of laughter echoed afterwards. Ever since Shadow had a disturbing dream and told Katie about it, Shadow saying those few words bothered and made Katie blush like a cherry ever since. "God! When are we going to get there?" Shadow whined, head thrown back in annoyance.
"Do you have no faith in me?" Katie asked in her supposed to be dramatic ways.
"No!" the three answered. This made Katie pout… Again.
"Well!" Katie crossed her arms. Then she looked around and stopped. "Hey! We're here!" Katie squeals, jumping up and down.
"Okay, who gave her the Skittles?" Nix grumbled, rubbing the temples of her forehead. Shadow and Claire looked at their surroundings, and then glared at Katie. She suddenly became a Chibi, as Claire and Shadow grew bigger, flames in their eyes and in the background.
"Why are we in an alley?!" Shadow growled. Katie grew to a smaller Chibi, and then everything was back to normal.
"This is where I keep my super, secret stash of yummy in my tummy Starbursts! They are locked in a box and I keep the key with me at all times," Katie replied as if it were obvious, holding the key in her hand. They all face palm, groaning.
"And you brought me along because? I hate Starbursts," Shadow muttered through her palm.
"Well I love Starbursts! They are yummy in my tummy!" Katie cheered, getting pom-poms from somewhere unknown and starts to do the Starburst dance… Something she made up.
"Exactly why do you keep them in an alley?" Claire asked, looking around again. A black cat was startled by their voices and ran out into the street behind them.
"It's a very safe place to keep them, don't cha think?" Katie giggled. Shadow shook her head and plugged in her earbuds, started to chew on her favorite gum, and Claire was shaking her head and pinching the bridge of her nose.
"In what way is an alley safe?" Nix deadpanned, like Katie was stupid… Which she is. Nix was thinking of ways to sneak away from this craziness. Katie waved her hand dismissively.
"It's safe because who would think Starbursts would be in alley?" Katie asked. Then, without waiting for a snide remark she knew her friends would make, she went on speaking. "That's right no one!" Katie screamed out while doing a happy dance. Claire had a sweat drop on her head and Nix was slowly backing away, wanting to go back to Starbucks.
I suppose I should've stayed there instead, Nix thought. She stopped and sighed to herself. Though she could leave her two friends with the idiot who was still dancing, she knew Claire and Shadow would find some way to get her back. She weighed the ideas in her head, to go to the safety and normality (whatever normal is) of Starbucks, or be killed in revenge by the two most morbid girls she had ever met. With a sigh, she stood next to Claire, with Shadow in the background listening to her music, tossing pebbles.
"Katie you can be so stupid," Nix grumbled, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"I know and that's why I'm uber fun!" Katie squeals, still happy dancing. Claire and Shadow twitched with so much annoyance coursing through their bodies. Shadow was still tossing pebbles. Out of the corner of her eye, Katie saw something that caught her size of a squirrel attention span. "Ooh! What's that?" Katie said as she skipped over to a door.
"Katie, that's a door," Shadow grumbled, now paying attention out of boredom. The other two were mulling over the word 'uber.' Shadow's face was emotionless as always, her dead eyes outlined with black kohl and mascara. Since she was aiming to stay single, this was her defense against guys. Nix and Claire didn't really need anything to help them, Nix had a boyfriend already and Claire would kill any guy that comes in a five foot radius, that doesn't stop Shadow from putting her on blind dates. Speaking of the others Nix now noticed Katie staring at a door and sighed.
"Well duh! I knew that-" Katie started to say but was interrupted.
"Did you? Did you really?" Claire asked cryptically, Katie huffed, but continued on.
"As I was saying, but what I meant was that I never saw this door before," Katie explains.
"You don't notice a lot of things," Claire reminded her.
"I know –," once again, she was interrupted.
"Did you? Did you really?" Claire asked cryptically.
"Again, as I was saying, I've been to this alley a million of times,-" Katie was interrupted again.
"Can you count that high Katie?" Nix asked thoughtfully.
"Let me speak! Anyway, I've never, ever, ever seen this door before," Katie finishes, her hand reaching towards the knob. Nix shook her head.
"Don't open that door. For all you know, a person lives there for God's sake!" Nix threatened. However, Katie did not listen. She opened the door. They were not met with a guy with a shotgun or something. Instead, they were met with darkness. Katie started to back away, staring scared, like a doe caught in headlights. All of a sudden, some kind of wind comes out of nowhere, dragging the four teenage girls close to the door. Suddenly, a bright blue light shines and there are four screams sounding through the alley.
"Katie! Shut the damn door!" Shadow yells, who was digging her nails into the ground, leaving a bloody trail behind. Claire was cursing Katie, using every word in the book.
"I can't! There is some sort of barrier around it!" Katie yelled back.
"That's no excuse you idiot!" Nix cried out, as the wind grew stronger. With four screams of terror, the girls were sent flying through the door. Behind them, the door shut on its own, and vanished, into thin air.
Well? What do you think? I had a fun time writing this with my friends and they had a fun time making fun of each other during the story.
And again, thank you love for helping me out!
