Hello darlings, I know what you're probably thinking... why the hell am I starting ANOTHER story because I haven't finished the last 3. Well, I have an answer for you! This was an assignment (to write a horror story) but for a different class than the last one. I had two at once it was so weird. But anyway, this one is MUCH better, and way less ridiculous.
So, without further ado, I give you...
Part 1!
Tori Vega watched as Jade prowled the group of students huddled into the parking lot which served as the venue for their high school's annual Halloween party. She was dressed in her usual black attire, her raven colored hair spiced up a bit for the party with the strategic placement of a few teal hair extensions.
She moved fluidly through the throngs of people, sipping her drink as if she knew she was above it all. She was totally in her element, the thumping music and the pulsing lights only enhancing her "don't try to talk to me" attitude.
Tori scoffed and turned back to the conversation she was trying to pay attention to between her friends Andre and Beck. Jade thinks she's so much better than her. No matter what Tori does, Jade is quick to reply with snide comments and even physical threats on occasion. The only reason why they associated with each other at all was because they shared a mutual friend group.
Accepting that she wasn't even going to try to stay interested in what Beck and Andre were talking about, she let her mind wander, people watching. She was a little bit surprised that there were so many people there, considering what happened last year. Then again, it was Halloween so the fact that a girl had died at last year's party probably just attracted people even more. Brittany hadn't had many friends anyway, so it was kind of sad but people didn't seem to miss her much.
"Earth to Tori." Beck said, waving a hand in front of her face, effectively snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Sorry, guess I zoned out." Tori smiled apologetically, bringing her cup up to her lips to take a sip of the tangy festive punch.
Before Beck could ask his question again, Tori felt a cool hand clasp around her wrist. She turned around to see that it was none other than Jade, a devious smirk adorning her features.
"Come on, Vega, I need to show you something." She said, already dragging Tori with her by the wrist before she had a chance to refuse. She had an odd habit of calling Tori by her last name.
"Jade, wait." Tori tried, looking back to Beck and Andre for help. They just shrugged as if to say "no way am I getting in the middle of that."
"Have you seen Cat?" Jade asked, giving Tori an extra tug as she was falling behind a little too much for Jade's liking.
"Jeez, you don't have to pull so hard, I'm coming. And no, the last time I saw her was when we got here." Tori said, dodging a classmate while her wrist was still trapped in Jade's grasp.
"Oh, there she is." Jade said, quickly changing course to go retrieve the redhead. Tori just rolled her eyes and figured it was easier to just go along with it than fight her.
"Cat!" Jade yelled.
"What?" She said, smiling. She continued to dance, shimmying as she broke away from the person she had been dancing with and made her way toward Jade and Tori.
"I have something to show you and Tori." Jade said, not even bothering to look at her.
"Kay!" Cat said, happy to see what Jade was talking about.
They stepped through the double doors and into the deserted hallways of the school.
"Is this what you wanted to show us? The empty hallway? Ooo, interesting." Tori murmured sarcastically as they walked a few steps further into the school.
"Shut up Tori, this isn't what I—" Jade was cut off by an electric buzzing sound and then the only thing they could hear were hundreds of agonizing screams coming from outside.
"What's happening?!" Tori asked, reclaiming her wrist from Jade and running to the doors. She shoved them open and was about step over the threshold when she was interrupted by a hand on her shoulder roughly wrenching her backward.
"Don't!" Jade said, being the first to notice the incredible danger of going back outside.
Tori looked up at Jade confused by why she was saying that but Jade wasn't facing her. Her eyes traced Jade's line of vision and fell upon the reason behind Jade's change in demeanor. The three girls looked out into the wreckage that was the party. Bodies were covering the ground, most of their eyes wide open, unmoving. The ground was wet, like someone had flooded it with several hoses, and there was a large bunch of wires lying near the base of the DJ stand that was still spitting sparks onto the soaked pavement.
Tori's hand flew to her mouth, stifling a gasp while her brain tried to process what she was seeing. Cat's eyes began to tear up and quickly spilled over, leaking hot salty tears dripping down her cheeks. She wrapped her arms around herself in a subconscious defense mechanism. Jade's face remained emotionless save from the crease in between her eyebrows that she couldn't hide.
She was the first to walk forward, right up to the edge of the doors so that she could look out and survey the damage. What the hell had even happened out there? Was anyone okay? Or were they all… dead? Tori and Cat followed, and the three of them peered out at the carnage, not really sure what else to do.
