AN: This story is written for my cousin, Sophie, so please enjoy and r/r! :D
Sophie glanced out the window and groaned at all the scenery. Great. They lived in the middle of fucking nowhere. Just the way she wanted to spend her time gazing at the miles and miles of endless greenery.
Sophie knew why she was being sent to live at her Aunt Pamela and Uncle Henry's house. Her parents had had enough of her partying schedule. All because of her staying up and smoking weed, popping pills, drinking and just basically partying, her grades were shit and she was getting in trouble with her teachers and girls at her school.
Sophie's parents had enough of her rebellious attitude so they took it upon themselves to have her shipped off to her Aunt and Uncle's house to finish the remainder of her senior year. It pissed Sophie off to no end but she had to do it no matter how much it sucked.
So this is why Sophie sat in the car with her aunt who kept droning on and on about who the hell knows what. Sophie laid her head against the window and turned the volume up on her iPod. She rolled her eyes at her aunt's frantic hand motions and closed her eyes. She was awakened by someone yanking her ear buds out and she jumped in surprise.
"What the fuck?" Sophie shouted as she touched her sore ears.
"Oops." Ginger smirked as she stood before Sophie.
"Ginger!" Sophie cried as she lurched forwards-pain in her ear forgotten- and gripped Ginger in a bone crushing hug.
"Nice to see ya Soph!" Ginger replied while grinning and stepping back as a timid Brigitte came forwards and hugged Sophie. Sophie noticed that Ginger and Brigitte looked quite a bit different from when she had seen them about 2 years ago.
Sophie hopped down from her seat and stretched her muscles. The bones popped and she sighed in relief as she shuffled her feet to the back of the van and opened the trunk only to discover her bags were gone.
"Courtesy of the dad. How was it to listen to her yap at you for hours on end?" Ginger asked while examining her nails and leaning against the side of the van.
Sophie laughed and shut the trunk door and moved to walk inside.
"It was great considering I was asleep for most of it." Sophie giggled as she opened their front door with Ginger and Brigitte following close behind.
"This is mi casa." Ginger said moving forwards and spreading her arms out.
"It's not so bad." Sophie said as she turned her head to examine the living room they were currently standing in.
"Come on! Come see our room!" Ginger exclaimed as she gripped Sophie's hand and dragged her down the ominous basement stairs.
They reached the room and Sophie nodded her head in appreciation.
"This is cool." Sophie remarked as she pulled away from Ginger and went to examine the room. Photo's littered one section of a wall and Sophie flocked towards it. She ran her eyes over each picture and studied them and she smiled. The pictures were of Ginger and Brigitte posing in different death poses. It amused Sophie to no end.
"These are some pretty cool ass pictures you got here." Sophie said and Ginger came to stand beside Sophie who was still entranced by all the photos.
"Our Wall of Death." Brigitte murmured as she came to stand on Ginger's left side, still shy of Sophie.
"If my mother saw me take these pictures she would have me locked in the Looney bin faster than you can say 'lycanthrope'." Sophie stated and turned on her heel to examine the rest of the room. Sophie was intrigued by their style and individuality and creativeness.
"Girls! Dinner is ready!" Pam shouted down the staircase and Ginger groaned as she lumbered upstairs. Brigitte followed behind and Sophie followed behind last.
The dinner table was quiet except for the sounds of chewing and the scrapes of utensils against plates. Sophie pushed the spaghetti around her plate, not really in the mood for eating.
"Ginger why are you rubbing your back?" Pam asked and Sophie glanced up at Ginger who was rubbing her lower back and arching forwards.
"It hurts." She stated while ripping a hunk of bread with her teeth and staring at her mom. Pam was used to her daughter's behavior and she tried to keep calm.
"Why?" Pam asked again in the same tone Ginger used. Ginger leaned back and put her elbows on the table and turned to face her mom.
"Well the pain flows up your nerve endings up to your brain." Ginger replied smartly and Sophie and Brigitte stifled giggles.
"She's not funny." Pam said to the two younger girls. Ginger said something under her breath before focusing back on her plate.
"How did you hurt it?" Pam was trying to get an honest reply from Ginger but was failing miserably.
"Being dead." Ginger stated while picking up more bread and lifting it to her lips.
"Does it hurt down by your tailbone or is it up higher?" Pam inquired while motioning to her lower back. Sophie had no idea where Pam was going with this.
"Is it tight throughout here?" Pam asked while motioning to her sides.
"Maybe." Ginger replied in a bored tone.
"Does it ache back here?" Pam tried again to communicate with Ginger.
"Might." Ginger said while glaring at her mother.
"Oh my god!" Pam exclaimed and Sophie jumped at the sudden outburst as Pam turned and beamed at Henry who had his fork in mid air about to take a bit of spaghetti.
"Do you think its cramps?" Pam asked in a girly voice and Ginger began to choke and she flew forwards.
"Will you give it a rest? For two seconds…ugh.." Ginger said while raising her glass to take a gulp of water.
"Pam we're eating!" Henry protested weakly and Pam just glared at him.
"Henry, the girls are both three years late from menstruating okay? It's not normal and if it's finally happening!" She exclaimed and Ginger slammed her glass on the table.
"It's not!" Ginger spit and Pam looked at her daughter incredulously.
"Honey it's nothing to be scared of! It's the most normal thing in the world!" Pam exclaimed before turning towards Sophie.
"Sophie don't you menstruate?" Pam asked while smiling and it was Sophie's turn to choke on her spaghetti.
"Pam!" Henry protested and Sophie turned beet red.
"Yes why do you need to know?" Sophie asked and Pam turned back towards Ginger.
"See she menstruates!" Pam exclaimed before turning back to Sophie.
"Isn't there not anything to be afraid of? It's the most normal thing in the world right?" Pam asked and Sophie shook her head.
"There's nothing to be afraid of but it's certainly not the most pleasant thing in the world." Sophie remarked and Ginger smiled as she reached for more bread.
"Maybe it's cancer of the spine." Ginger steered the conversation back towards her with a grim smile.
"Ginger Ann!" Pam exclaimed.
"Or tuberculosis." Brigitte said quietly and Ginger smiled at her.
"See what your attitude does?" Pam said.
"Or spondelitis." Sophie piped up and Ginger and Brigitte looked at her.
"Sponde what?" Ginger asked.
"Fuses your vertebrae together." Sophie explained and Ginger grinned.
"Nice." She commented.
"Sophie and Brigitte, stop it." Pam said sternly and Ginger glanced balefully at Pam.
"Have a fit." She said simply before shoving bread into her mouth.
"Well I have had just enough of that attitude." Pam said and Ginger cut across her.
"Well that makes two of us! Fuck!"
"Alright that's it to your room!" Pam commanded and Ginger sighed as she threw her napkin on the table.
Ginger stood from the table and Brigitte followed and Pam glanced up at them disapprovingly.
"Brigitte you're not attached to her at the wrist." Pam said but Brigitte didn't listen and kept walking.
Sophie made up her mind and stood from the table and wandered back towards their room. When she walked in she saw Ginger in front of the television watching some mindless television while holding a glinting kitchen knife to her pale wrist.
"Fuck! Slitting wrists are for girls! I'm going to slit my throat." Ginger exclaimed as she lay back on her bed and Sophie fully entered the room and Ginger sat up.
"Sophie! I was about to go look for you but this is better! How about we go do an unspeakable act of mischief?" Ginger said while smiling and Sophie giggled.
"I'm in." Sophie said simply while Ginger leapt up from her seat and Brigitte moved towards Ginger.
"No Bee, you stay here tonight let Soph and I have some quality cousin bonding time." Ginger said while winking at Bee who nodded and sat back down on her own bed.
Sophie and Ginger donned their winter coats and traipsed outside and soon were walking down the sidewalk by an apartment complex. There was a little playground up ahead and Sophie and Ginger were giggling.
"We're going to rock this bitch's boat." Ginger said as she carried a red bag full of fake bloody guts in her hands.
"Wait what bitch are we talking about here?" Sophie asked.
"Her name is Trina Sinclair and she is a real bitch. She pushed Brigitte into a dead dog carcass on the field and Brigitte came up with a great idea of revenge." Ginger said matter-of-factly and Sophie nodded.
"The revenge plan?" Sophie asked, anxious to prank this bitch.
"Well we're going to kidnap it and make it look like its dead with this bag that contains fake guts and blood we used for a project a while back." Ginger stated while waving the bag in Sophie's face.
"How are we going to get the dog without her knowing or breaking into her house?" Sophie inquired.
"Well when it's out doing its thing we'll snatch it and probably knock it out and drag it here!" Ginger said happily and Sophie shook her head but smiled as Ginger danced ahead of her towards the play ground to choose the spot where they would lay the dog.
Suddenly the smell of blood was ever present in the air and both girls froze. They walked around the slide to see a dead Rottweiler lying on the ground almost completely destroyed. Its insides spilling out and body mangled.
"Jesus! What the fuck happened?" Sophie asked while covering her nose and slowly circling around the poor dog to examine it.
"There's something that's been killing the neighborhood dogs lately and this is probably what killed this dog." Ginger said and then brightened.
"Perfect! This is pure and total fucking luck! We can move the body and make it look like her real dog! She'll freak!" Ginger exclaimed and Sophie shot her a disbelieving look.
"You think I'm going to touch that damn dog? Hell no!" Sophie cried in disgust and Ginger rolled her eyes.
"Oh Jesus just take the legs and pick it up! That's all you have to do!" Ginger explained as if Sophie was five. Sophie sighed and swallowed before crouching to grab a hold of the dog's legs and then she froze and looked up in horror at Ginger who had also crouched down to grab its front legs.
"It's…still…warm." She breathed in horror and Ginger rolled her eyes. Sophie tried to remain calm as she pulled on the legs and suddenly one came loose right in her hands. Sophie dropped the thing to the ground as if it stung her and resisted the urge to vomit.
"Oh that's just fucking SICK!" Sophie cried as she looked at the leg now lying a few feet away.
"Shit! Just leave it then and we'll put it in the bag." Ginger remarked while looking around.
"You got some blood on you." Sophie remarked as she pointed to Ginger's leg. Ginger looked down and pulled up the hem of her dress a little and growled as she bent to touch some with her fingers and held it up before looking around her.
"This is great!" Ginger hissed.
"What is it?" Sophie asked while thinking the worst.
"Soph I just got the curse!" Ginger said in disgust and Sophie understood.
"God you kill yourself to be different and your own body screws you! But if I start moaning about PMS just shoot me ok?" Ginger pleaded and Sophie nodded.
All of a sudden they heard a noise behind them and the sound of springs going back and forth. They glanced at each other before turning to see a rocking horse about 15 feet from them moving as if some invisible force sat rocking it before it suddenly stopped.
"Let's get out of here.." Sophie started to say but was cut off as she heard a feral snarl and something slam her to the ground. She heard Ginger's screams as she tried to push herself up quickly. The screams faded slowly and Sophie drew a terrified breath.
"Ginger!" Sophie cried as she moved forwards to see the swings moving faintly.
Sophie was still a little disoriented and she continued to stare.
"Ginger!" Sophie shouted as she began to run into the woods.
