Company. Presents. Decapitation; Alex Rider's horrifying holiday.
I erased 'Say the Word' because I'm going to restart it into a different way. I'll start it soon if you review Perfect Boyfriend and/or Le Mascarade. Thanks, and please review this one, too!
It was finally the Winter Holidays; away from school, and hopefully away from MI6. This time, Jack Starbright – his guardian – is taking him to Vancouver, BC, Canada. What's so special about it? They'll be going to Blackcomb, Whistler, and staying at the lodge for about a week.
"So, are you going skiing or snowboarding?" Jack asked, packing her blue XLRS snowboard. Alex smiled, thinking about all that free time he was going to have.
"Snowboard; I've skied too much already. Snowboarding's fun," he chuckled. Jack sighed, dropping two red sport bags in front of the door.
"So, it's going to be a whole week? Why Whistler? Why can't we go to our own mountain?" Alex asked, suddenly realizing it. Jack smiled brightly.
"Because we've been on that mountain too many times and I have a friend who lives in Vancouver. Her name's Denise!" She exclaimed, finally done packing her things. Alex had finished too; Jack had three bags in total and he had only one. He started to think that Jack was going to bring five more.

Alyssa Masterson, who was 14, lived in Vancouver. Her mother – only parent – was taking her to Blackcomb, Whistler. She had long, black hair and hazel eyes. She heard that her mom's friend was coming to visit, and she had to bring along some guy that wasn't even her kid!
"Why are they coming? I'm always used to Jack coming but not some other kid!" Alyssa exclaimed. Denise, Alyssa's mother, sighed.
"Jack isn't a mother but she's the boy's guardian. He has no parents and his uncle died in a car accident," Denise explained. Alyssa sighed.
"What's the guy's name," she asked flatly.
"Alex Rider. He's also fourteen. Maybe you two can have some fun together!"
"Mom! I am not going to spend my time hanging out with some random stranger who has no parents!" Alyssa exclaimed, packing her luggage. Denise shook her head.
"Give him a chance, Alyssa. You might like him," Denise smiled. Alyssa frowned.
"Yup. A chance to annoy me outta crap," she whispered.

Alex Rider and Jack Starbright had gone to Whistler, meeting up with Alyssa, her mother, her older brother, and her brother's girlfriend.
"Oh, Denise, I've missed you!" Jack s exclaimed, squealing. Alyssa smiled.
"Hey Jack," she chuckled, hugging her too. Jay, her older brother, smirked and waved lightly. Kimberly, Jay's girlfriend, barely moved her eyes from the snow and spent her time flipping her red hair and checking out her nails.
"…and this is Alex," Jack introduced, Alex stepping forward. Alyssa's jaw dropped slightly, seeing his smile made her all jingly inside.
"Hey," he said, looking straight at her. Alyssa tried to hide her blush but it was obvious she liked him.
"Yeah, whatever," Kimberly said, still acting like a good-for-nothing model and trying to sell her crap.
Alex looked at her weirdly, but her had to admit, she kinda pretty. But she was two years old than him, and she was taken.
Jay walked up to him. "Hey, what's up I'm Jay," he introduced himself.
At least her boyfriend isn't a piss off, Alex thought, smirking.
"I-I'm Alyssa," she smiled, gripping the snowboard tight.
"Hey," Alex said, flashing a smile. "Race you down Dead Hook," Alex added. Alyssa looked at him weirdly.
"How do you know I can ride Dead Hook?" Alyssa asked, looking just at the peak of the 'Double black diamond' rated run.
"Jack told me. C'mon, let's go!" He exclaimed, running. Alyssa squealed, excited of two things; hanging out with a cute boy, and riding Dead Hook. This was going to be the best holiday….

Alyssa, Jack, Alex, and Denise had gone to Dead Hook, while Jay and Kimberly stayed at the crappy lodge. Alyssa looked down.
"Just like last year," She chuckled.
"What happened last year?" Alex asked.
"Some guy decided to take on some shitty bet and run Dead Hook with a mist. Turns out he was found dead in the forest, with all his bones torn out of his body and all the bone marrow gone. Some people say it was a cannibal, up in Green Emerald Sky coming down to feast. But others say it was some wild animal looking for shitty food for a shitty reason," Alyssa explained.
Alex tired to shrug off the idea of a cannibalistic human.
"Where's Green Emerald Sky?" Alex asked. Alyssa point to a peak with a house and other deserted buildings. It was the only one with Christmas lights.
"There. It's used as a tourist attraction; scary, haunted places sure seem to scare the crap outta everybody and come here to check it out," she laughed, finally starting to go on Dead Hook.
"Hey, you, come back here!" a man called, in a black suit.
"Sorry, sir; what's the problem?" Alex asked.
"The problem is, is that mountain run is closed. Ever since the 'incident' from last year, we're afraid of seeing that disgusting sight again," the officer explained. Alyssa frowned.
"RJ Rodriguez?" Denise said, frowning. The officer nodded.
"Scared the shit out of me," he laughed. "Now go, before you end up becoming one of them," he said, marching off. Alex watched him leave. Them? Wasn't it only one?

Alex had been given a room in the third floor of the lodge. It wasn't bad; fresh wood, new carpets, thick blankets, soft pillows, and awesome room service. They even had a TV!
As Alex opened the door, he heard someone jumping on the bed. Wrong room? He looked at the door number and it was the one they had given to him. He looked inside, and saw a little girl jumping. Alex blinked, and she wasn't there anymore. Just your imagination, Alex thought. He walked over to his bed and saw the imprint on it.
Someone had definitely been on it.
