She Just Wanted To Be Heard

Chapter 1
Did You Hear About This Tape?

Saturday Night. The rain began pattering one night in Besaid. The streets were slippery, the night, dark and foggy. It was just another normal night since rain came often in Besaid but tonight was different.

"Argh I hate television, so boring. You know I heard that there are so many magnetic waves traveling through the air caused by T.V and phone that were losing, like, 10 times as many brain cells then what were suppose to." Rikku started, laying on her bed.

"Uh huh." Lulu simply replied not caring but instead flipping through the channels on the T.V.

"And all these T.V companies know about it but are not doing anything about it, like they don't care. Someday, are brains will, like, fry up from loss of brain cells." Rikku continued.

Lulu placed the remote control in front of her face. "You pick something, I don't care."

Rikku took the remote from her hand. "How about...oops." Rikku said as she turned off the T.V and dropped the remote.

Lulu laughed then sat on the bed beside Rikku.

"Hey, have you heard about the tape that kills you when you watch it?" Lulu asked.

Rikku looked at her suspiciously. "What kid of tape are you talking about?"

"Just a regular tape. People rent it I guess, I dunno. You start to play it and it's like someone's nightmare. Then, all of a sudden a woman appears smiling at you. Seeing you through the screen...and just when you think its over, your phone rings. Someone knows you've watched it. A little girl appears on the phone and says, 'you will die in seven days.' And then seven days later-----"

"Who told you that?" Rikku asked nervously.

"I don't know, someone from school---"

"WHO?" Rikku demanded.

"What's wrong?" Lulu asked.

Rikku stared at her with fear in her eyes. "I've watched it…" She said, her voice soft.

Lulu sighed chuckling. "Its just a story Rikku."

"No! Wakka and I, we saw it last weekend."

"I thought you were with Cid and your brother?" Lulu wondered asking.

"I wanted to tell you but---"

"Oh my god you were with Wakka all weekend?" Lulu asked excitedly.

"No, some of his friends rented a place for the weekend up in the mountains. They wanted to tape the Blitzball game; the reception was bad I guess and---"

"What are you talking about?" Lulu asked feeling a bit freaked.

"Listen to me! When we played the tape it wasn't there! It was..."

"What?" Lulu asked.

"It was something else." Rikku replied, her voice soft filled with fear. "We thought it was a joke until...the phone rang. That was a week ago. A week ago from this day.

Lulu chuckled nervously. "You're just trying to scare me."

A few seconds later Rikku began gagging as she held her throat. Lulu thought she was joking until she started whimpering and laid her head on her lap.

"Holy shit Rikku! Are you okay?" She asked nervously.

Then all of a sudden Rikku smiled and began laughing at her.

"Oh my god you freak!" Lulu said as she threw her to the floor then lightly hitting her with a pillow.

"Ha, ha, you totally fell for it!" Rikku said.

"No way!" Lulu replied. "So...did you guys, you know…do anything?"

Rikku looked at her with a confused look on her face. "Like what?"

Lulu smiled. "Oh my god you ho! You totally did! Tell me!" Lulu shouted at her.

"No way!"

After a few more seconds the phone began to ring. Both girls stopped laughing and looked at each other scared.

"There really is a tape?" Lulu asked.

Rikku looked over at the clock, which said 10:00pm.

As the two girls made their ways downstairs and down the hallway towards the kitchen, they slowly walked to the phone in fear.

"This is so stupid." Lulu said the quickened her speed and picked up the phone. "Lulu here." She said.

Lulu then turned to Rikku panting nervously as she gave her the phone. Rikku slowly took it from her and placed it up against her ear. "Um, hello?" She said. Rikku then calmed down. "Hi mom. No, that was Lu."

Lulu laughed as she ran past Rikku and made her way back upstairs.

"Yeah, Lu and I were just about to go to sleep. Yeah, okay. Okay! Bye mom." Rikku said then place the phone back on the receiver.

As Rikku began to walk back towards the stairs, the T.V in the living room suddenly turned on showing nothing but static.

Rikku walked into the room and stared at the T.V. "Lulu stop being a bitch. Where's the...remote..?" Rikku asked but then found the remote on the couch. Rikku picked it up and turned the T.V off. She then made her way out of the living room but the T.V resumed back on again.

She turned around nervously. "Lulu quit it!" She shouted.

Rikku ran up to the T.V screen and stared at it, panting nervously. She then went behind it and unplugged the television. Rikku then took a deep breath.

The all of a sudden something quickly ran past, the shadow appearing on the screen for a second as it made a eerie sound.

Rikku gasped as she turned around but saw nothing.

She closed her eyes for a second but then quickly stood up and walked to the base of the stairs. "Lulu, you there?" She called out but never heard a reply.

She quickly ran up the stairs and walked down the hallway. Rikku saw a puddle of water coming out from her bedroom door. As she walked forward towards the door, she breathed nervously.

There was some sort of hissing sound coming from the room that Rikku couldn't explain. She placed her hand on the doorknob which water was dripping off of.

As she open her door her T.V was on, a picture of a well appeared and then Rikku screamed!


It wasn't that scary now was it? Whelps that was the introduction for you. Don't forget to R and R since it's my first chapter. Hoped you liked it!
