Author's Notes:

Disclaimer: I don't own Skins or the character's mentioned in the following stories.

Rating: M – Just incase – Swearing etc.

Genre: I suppose it would be on the supernatural side.

Okay, so how are we all? After writing my last fic, I wasn't going to write anything else… but I got kind of bored and thought what the hell, ya know. LOL. The idea for these short stories came from stories passed down in my family. They swear that they are true but it all happened well before my time in the early 80's so I don't really know and to be honest I'm skeptical but I thought they were interesting. As I'm a fan of Skins I thought I'd borrow the characters and share the tales with you guys. I'm nervous about them because I dunno, when they are being told verbally, they are quite creepy but I don't know if I've been able to capture that same feeling by writing it down. Does that make sense? Oh well, not to worry I'm sure you guys will let me know ;)

Anyway, I hope I haven't completely stuffed it up… enjoy.

The Lady In The Blanket

Knock Knock Knock… Knock Knock

Naomi groaned as she stirred from her sleep. She glanced over at the alarm clock on her beside table and groaned even louder. It was 2.30 in the fucking morning. She turned over and looked towards Emily who was still fast asleep… She got out of bed carefully as not to wake her and quickly slipped on a pair of her jeans and exited the bedroom.

Knock Knock

"Fuck sake" she whispered to herself as she climbed down the stairs.

"Babe?" She heard Emily call out after her.

She didn't reply. She was never really a morning person and to be woken up at this hour was an extremely dangerous thing to do, not that it was Emily's fault that her sleep was disturbed but she knew how she could get sometimes so instead of snapping at the girl that she shared her bed with, she decided to reserve it for the wanker that was knocking on her door at this ungodly hour. She opened the door to find Cook ready to knock on the door again…

"Are you fucking serious? It's 2.30 in the fuck-ing morning."

"Babes please yeah, we, we gotta tell ya somethin'…"

She cut him off.

"Who the fuck is we?"

Katie stepped out from behind Cook looking quiet pale and sick. She was shivering which was strange because it was a warm night…

"Just fucking spit it out then. Emily's gotta get up for work in three fucking hours for fucks sake."

"Naoms?" Emily said from the top of the stairs. "Is everything okay?"

Naomi bit her bottom lip in anger.

"See what you's fucking did." She whispered at Cook with her teeth clenched.

She turned around and looked towards Emily.

"Yeah babe, it's just Cook and your sister. Go back to bed yeah; I'll be up in a minute."

Emily came down the stairs looking worried as she came up beside Naomi.

"What's wrong?"

"Wow babe." Cook said looking Emily up and down. "Nice."

CRACK

"Ahhh fuck Naoms, I was only jokin' yeah."

Naomi punched him again. In her mind it wasn't a joke, especially when it came to Emily.

"What the fuck are you two doing here?" She asked angrily.

Cook and Katie pushed Naomi out of the way as they came into the house.

"Just make ya selves at home." Naomi mumbled to herself.

Emily gently slapped Naomi on the arm to gain her attention.

"Stop it." She smirked.

Naoms rolled her eyes as she answered "Fine." They both walked into the kitchen to join Cook and Katie. Emily was concerned by the way Katie was behaving; she hasn't spoken one word since she's been here which is highly unusual where Katie is concerned.

"Katie, are you okay?" Emily asked.

She nodded. Emily frowned slightly but decided not to push the issue at this stage.

"Christ Emily." Naomi gasped as she looked at her girlfriend.

She took her jeans off and gave them to Emily to put on. Ems had strolled down the stairs in nothing but her tee and a pair of knickers. She didn't like Cook or anyone else for that matter gawking at her one and only. It infuriated her… Emily giggled at the gesture as she slipped Naomi's jeans on to cover her bare legs. As Ems walked towards the kettle to make some coffee, she slapped Cook at the back of the head as he was now practically drooling over Naomi. It wasn't just a playful slap; it was a bloody hard one. Naomi cringed when she heard the sound Emily's hand made as it hit the back of Cook's head.

"I was only lookin'." Cook said defensively as he rubbed the back of he's head.

"More like eye fucking." Emily shot back aggressively.

Naomi sensed that Emily was about to go all in with Cook, fists and all. She never liked Cook really. Not since she found out that the two of them had nearly gotten it on after the school president election. If Emily ever saw Naomi and Cook together on they're own she'd make it a point to go over. They had a chemistry that Emily didn't practically care for. It's not that she didn't trust Naomi she just didn't trust Cook and the fact that Naomi is like a horny teenaged boy, well she had reason to be weary.

"Okay, what's going on?" Naomi butted in snapping Emily out of her hateful stare that she was throwing Cook.

Emily placed four mugs on the table as her and Naomi took a seat across from Katie and Cook. Katie was still silent. She picked up a mug with a shaky hand and took a sip. She looked like she was in shock, disturbed about something.

Cook explained everything from start to finish. Katie and he were bored so they had decided to take a drive up to King Lake. Why? Who the fuck knows? The place was isolated. It was right up top of a mountain which consisted of mainly farmland and forests. Anyway, Cook explains that as they were driving this maniac comes screeching around the corner from the opposite direction running them off the road. Cook said he had no choice but to swerve because they nearly had a head on with the other car. He said all he could see was the head lights. If he had of swerved any harder to the left, both him and Katie would have ended up at the bottom of a cliff. The car had stopped about an arms length away from the edge. Emily immediately stood up and went beside Katie to see if she was alright. Any wonder she's in the state she's in. The poor girl would have seen her life flash before her eyes…

"What the fuck were you doing driving up there at this time of night? Fuck sake." Naomi asked angrily.

She was worried about Katie. Although they like to give each other shit and to an onlooker it would appear that they hated each others guts, underneath it all they were the best of friends. In serious situations Naomi was extremely protective over Katie.

"We were bored, we…"

Naomi cut Cook off.

"Bored huh? Well, you were nearly dead you idiot. Jesus fuck-ing Christ Cook, don't you fucking think? You know how dangerous the roads up there are… and that's during the fucking day. What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Babe, relax. Nothing happened, their both fine yeah." Emily interrupted as she leaned over and placed her hand on top of Naomi's in an effort to calm her.

Naomi took a huge intake of air to try and settle her anger. She couldn't believe how fucking stupid and reckless Cook could be sometimes. The roads up at King Lake were almost single lanes. If a car was coming from the other way, both vehicles had to merge to the left onto gravel to allow room for the other and the roads were windy as all fuck…

Cook continued.

"We had to like stop for ten minutes, we were fookin' shittin' ourselves…"

Naomi didn't respond. Instead she just stared at him angrily… He explained that once he pulled himself together he continued on up the road.

"Fuck-ing what?" Naomi blurted out.

"Babe, let him finish okay." Emily interrupted.

She frowned for a moment before she spoke again.

"… Then you can kick his arse."

Naomi and Emily both grinned at each other evilly which made Cook feel extremely awkward and very uncomfortable as he shifted slightly in his seat. Katie was still completely silent and as Cook continued, she started to tremble slightly.

He said that as they climbed further up the mountain, it started to become foggy, which wasn't unusual it was always like that up there. They continued to drive on for a further 15 minutes and it was becoming harder to see. They didn't have fog lights on the car and if you put the high beam on, the light just reflects back off the fog. You can't see anything. So as they were about to turn back around and head back home Katie spotted something up ahead.

"It was fookin' weird yeah… It was like the fog was hovering in the middle of the fookin' road." Cook explained.

He said that they slowed right down as they approached it to get a better look. As the beam of light from the cars headlights hit it, Cook immediately slammed on the breaks.

"Fookin' hell, I could see right through her. She was just fookin' standin' there…"

"What?" Emily asked confused.

Katie finally spoke up.

"Ems, it was well fuck-ing scary. There was a girl wrapped in a blanket just staring at us. She was fucking see through babes. Like what the actual fuck?" Katie said shakily.

"Huh?" Naomi said.

Emily and Naomi just stared at each other in complete and total confusion. They looked back towards Katie and Cook who both looked dead serious. Naomi started to laugh.

"What the fuck are you's on?

She paused for a slight moment.

Got any left?" She grinned.

Emily stood up and punched Naomi's arm and glared at her unimpressed.

"What?" Naomi asked as she rubbed her shoulder.

"You know what."

After the whole Sophia fiasco, Naomi had gotten a little too attached to smoking spliffs and consuming MDMA on a regular basis. Naoms had promised Emily she wouldn't touch that shit again and although Naomi was obviously only joking, Emily didn't appreciate it.

"Chill babes… but fuck, did you just hear what they said?"

"I heard." Was all Emily replied still glaring at Naomi.

Naomi looked back at Cook.

"You woke us up for that?"

"Babes, we're fookin' serious, she was all misty and shit. She was lookin' right at us." He replied.

"Naoms, he's telling the truth yeah. The beam was going right through her. All we could see was her feet and her head; she had a blanket wrapped around herself, like she was… like she was cold." Katie interjected.

Naomi looked at Emily again who had an amused look on her face. They both burst out laughing.

"Fuck you both. We're telling you the truth for fucks sake. Why the fuck would we make something like that up?" Katie screamed offended.

Naomi stood up trying to get her hysterical laughter under control.

"So what are saying? You saw a ghost?"

They both nodded quickly towards Naomi as Emily was still giggling like a little school girl.

"Piss off… both of you get the fuck out of my house. Go and sleep it off."

"Naomi we're telling you the truth… I fucking shit my pants." Katie replied.

"Whatever yeah, I believe you." Naomi answered as she chuckled. "Now get the fuck out."

Katie and Cook both stood up annoyed by the fact that they were being laughed at.

"Fuck BOTH of you." Katie huffed.

Emily and Naomi continued to laugh as they ushered Katie and Cook to the front door. Cook didn't say another word. He looked a little hurt that Naoms and Ems didn't believe him. Katie turned around as she was on the front door step and stuck her middle finger up towards her sister and Naomi. This only caused more laughter to erupt.

"Lezza bitches." Katie yelled as she turned back around and walked with Cook towards the car.

"Drive safely yeah, don't run over any more ghosts." Naomi called out as she closed the door.

She turned to Emily who was wiping the tears of laughter away from her face.

"Fucking idiots… Come on, let's go to bed." Naomi chuckled as she wrapped an arm around Emily, kissing her on the forehead.

The next day was like any other. Emily had gone to work completely exhausted due to lack of sleep. Naomi wasn't as bad off as Ems; she had a few extra hours to catch up on hers before she had to drag herself off to her place of employment. Naoms knew that Emily would be far too tired to cook anything for dinner and because Naomi was completely hopeless in the kitchen to the extent of needing a map to find her way around, she decided to just pick up a pizza on her way home. Her suspicions were correct when she opened the front door to find Emily sprawled out on the couch snoring lightly with the T.V. on. Naomi just stood there for a moment admiring her and smiling lovingly at the display. She was so adorable. She quietly tip toed over to her and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek and was almost knocked out for her effort.

"Jesus." Emily gasped loudly as she jumped up quickly in fright.

Both girls rubbing the top of their heads from head butting each other.

"Hey." Naomi said as she scrunched up her face due to the pain.

"Sorry babes, are you okay?" Emily replied, chuckling lightly.

Obviously Naoms copped the worst of it. A little lump started to form on the side of her head from the impact.

"Yeah." Naomi giggled. "You hungry? Got us some pizza."

Emily nodded smiling warmly. She straightened herself up on the couch and patted the cushion, motioning for Naomi to sit down beside her. Naoms took a seat and placed a proper kiss on her girlfriend's lips as she opened the pizza box and offered her a slice. They both chatted about their day and what plans they should make for the approaching weekend. Naomi wanted to go out, but Emily pouted and said that she wanted to stay in and um spend some 'quality' time on her own with Naomi. She didn't quite catch on to Emily's meaning and protested, saying that they always stay home and do nothing, well that was until Emily leaned in and whispered something 'naughty' into Naomi's ear…

"We always do that too." Naomi replied as she crossed her arms and pouted.

She was only joking though. She would ditch any plan to stay and be with Emily.

"Fine." Emily replied annoyed as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Naomi was trying her absolute hardest not to laugh at her girlfriend's reaction.

"Don't be like that." Naomi said.

"No, no it's fine. Just remember though, because you refused, I guarantee that you won't be hearing me scream your name for a very, very, VERY long time."

Naomi's faced dropped in panic.

"Wait… no… I was only…"

She was cut off by the sound of Emily's laughter. She had been beaten at her own game.

"That's not funny Ems…" Naomi said, almost sounding like a child.

"Ohhh babes…" Emily replied. "I'm sorry."

She leaned over and placed a tender kiss on her lips. Naomi happily responded as she smirked into it. They both pulled away and continued to eat when Emily received a message on her phone.

"Whose that?"

"Katie."

"What she want?" Naomi asked annoyed as she remembered the rude awakening earlier that morning.

Hey muff muncher, put the news on yeah… fucking bitches.

Naomi giggled almost choking on her pizza. Emily reached over and changed the channel. It had only just started.

Good evening,

On tonight's news, heading into our first story… In King Lake, a local man walking his dog in the early hours of this morning has stumbled across a grisly find. The body of a woman believed to be in her early 20's and who is known to police, has been found murdered. The local man had been walking by the side of the road when he discovered her remains.

The screen flashed to the scene where the local man was being interviewed.

"I was walkin' along the road with me dog and like I saw this white thing just over there by the edge of the trees so you know, naturally I walked over there for a bit of a sticky nose… It was a blanket and it looked like somethin' was wrapped in there so I was thinkin' that maybe it came off the back off a truck or somethin'. Might be valuable you know? So I start to unwrap it and bloody hell, I see blonde hair and a pair of eyes starin' back at me. Christ it put the wind right up me. The poor girl was completely naked under there…"

The news went onto something else. Both Emily and Naomi dropped there slices of pizza and turned to face each other. Eyes wide and mouths open in complete and utter shock as they both shivered.

Beep Beep

Another message.

I fucking told you lezza's. How the FUCK do you explain that?
