Halloween – the Movie, Twilight style
This is a Halloween drabble, meaning short, 100-250 word chapters. Story will be updated frequently. Stephenie Meyer created and owns the Twilight world, I just like to play in it.
Thanks to my beta, EdwardsMate4Ever. She makes the words behave.
Chapter 1 – Late Night Drive
October 29th 7:15 p.m.
Was this why I went to Nursing School? Noreen Weber asked herself. I just wanted to show my high school aged daughter, Angela, that I could do something with my life. Something besides being a minister's wife.
She sighed. Sure, driving with the good-looking Dr. Cullen was great. But out here, to a nuthouse, excuse me, insane asylum, at night? Right before Halloween?
Mrs. Weber shivered as she cautiously guided the car up the dark hillside in the early evening rain, the windshield wipers barely keeping the road in sight.
She was so focused on the road that she hadn't paid attention to what Dr. Cullen was saying.
"I'm sorry," she said. "I was concentrating on the road. What did you say?"
"I said," Dr. Cullen repeated, "that I met her years ago. At the time, she was just a child. A child with dark eyes and dark pointed hair. I spent six years trying to reach her, and the next six trying to make sure she never got out…"
"What did she do?" Mrs. Weber asked.
"Oh, her mother reported strange things," he replied. "Things done to Barbie dolls. Just wrong."
"Such as?"
"Mixing Lee brand jeans with Prada shoes," the doctor said, shuddering at the memories.
"NO!" Mrs. Weber screamed.
"I'm sorry, but you did ask," he chided gently. "And there was this small problem of her stabbing her classmates, teachers, and the mailman with her mother's sewing scissors…"
"What did you say her name was?" asked Mrs. Weber.
When Dr. Cullen told her, she thought, no, it can't be. Not after all this time…
