A/N: Any of my real life friends here reading this, if you could have guessed, I am writing about our close circle of friends. Try and guess who you are, LOL.
This is my first time really, writing a story in first person. It's not meant to be my best effort, because I just feel like writing a story about whatever. I was also inspired by my friend, xXxXomencatXxXx . Hahaha.
Also, some of the characters (for my IRL friends), might be a little out of character, cause, hey, it's a story.
"God, Sasha, watch where you park the damn car!" I shouted to my blonde-haired friend, who completely failed at parking.
She stopped the car's engine and turned playfully irritated emerald eyes toward me.
"If you think you're so good at driving, why don't you do it?"
My other friend Dakota, who was sitting in the backseat with me on my right, snorted at that.
"It's cause her parents took her license for staying out past her curfew!" The brunette announced cheerfully.
I glared at her, and playfully smacked her shoulder.
"Shut up!"
Another girl to my left spoke up.
"When will you stop getting in trouble, Ariel?"
I looked over to her and grumbled, "When I get my own house…"
Let me explain things a little. The girl on the left, my other friend, her name's Trinity. There was another girl in the passenger seat, watching us with an amused look, and seeming to be fumbling with her seatbelt. That's Tarah. As I already said, the insane blonde driver is Sasha, and the other girl to my right is Dakota. Yeah, I'm Ariel.
We're a close circle of friends. Very close, in fact. We have all known each other for about 6 years, some us knowing each other longer than that. See, I've known Dakota since we were in Kindergarten, and then met Sasha around the 4th grade, following with Trinity in 6th, and Tarah in 7th. Now we're all about 17-18-year olds. Hell yeah.
Anyway. Continuing.
"Shouldn't we actually get out of the car and see this movie we've been dying to see?" Tarah teased as she managed to unbuckle her seatbelt and open the door.
"Right." Sasha agreed, and we all followed Tarah's example. After I climbed out of Sasha's navy blue Mercedes, I glanced up at the Loewe's (sp?) Cinema Theatre, outlined by a starry sky. It was a crisp, cool night with a slight breeze. I would have done without the breeze, but hey, that's nature. A chill raced up my spine as a slightly stronger breeze hit me.
After locking the car, we all started walking up to the movie theatre and through the doors.
While Tarah and Dakota went to order the tickets, Trinity, Sasha, and I went immediately to the snack and candy bar.
"Hmmm…What do I wan—OOH, SKITTLES!" Trinity exclaimed, happily purchasing a giant bag of sugary skittles.
"I think you get a little too over excited about candy," Sasha said as she ordered two big bags (A/N: Wtf do you call it?) of popcorn. I went ahead and ordered two large sprites, and got 5 straws. Just as we were finished grabbing all the food and soda, Tarah and Dakota met up with us.
"Hey guys, got the tickets?" I asked.
"Sure did!" Tarah replied, handing us each our tickets.
After we let the ticket ripper lady rip the tickets (A/N: What an exciting job!), we walked the very long, red-carpeted hallway to the theatre 15, and entered the movie theatre.
"Whoa," I said, seeing the lack of people in the theatre. We aren't even early…I thought.
"I thought this was supposed to be a famous movie," Dakota said as she scanned the giant theatre for any sign of life. Not one person was in a seat.
"That's…. odd." Trinity said, with an edge of unease in her voice.
"I say we stop standing here and get our damn seats!" Sasha announced, already running up the steps to the back row without looking back to see if we were following.
"I guess Sasha gets to choose seats this time," I muttered as we all followed her.
After we got ourselves all seated, (Left to right- Sasha, Dakota, Tarah, Trinity, Me) and situated the popcorn bags and sodas evenly so everyone had access to them, the previews started.
I craned my neck up further so I could see all the seats and could still not see anyone.
I had to admit it; even I was getting freaked out. This was a box office hit, right? A very popular movie, and only it's 2nd day in showing it. Plus, it was a Friday. That alone explains that many people should be here. Hello. Friday. Giant movie rush!
I voiced my concern to Trinity and she shrugged, but shared the same worries with me. I asked the others, also, but Dakota didn't really mind that much, though Tarah mentioned that it did seem a little weird. Sasha just waved it off, "Who cares?!"
I decided to not let it bother me, and dug my hand into the bag of buttery popcorn and grabbed out a handful to eat.
After the Fandango commercials and a few movie previews rolled, the screen went black. No sponsoring movie director thing, or anything. That's what all movies had. Right?
"This doesn't seem right…don't they say the film company or something before the movie?" I whispered worriedly, even though no one was in the theatre, the whispering was a habit.
"Yeah…." Tarah whispered back.
"Okay, now I admit this is getting freaky," Dakota confessed, and then all our attention was turned back to the screen when the black faded away to white, revealing a young woman, around 18. She had long, black disheveled hair, and very pale skin. Her eyes were piercing blue, and scars were all over her skin. Where her skin wasn't shown, was a white gown. She had an uncanny resemblance to the grudge lady, and I clung to Trinity at that thought.
The lady seemed to be staring not at the camera, but at us. Suddenly, her eyes changed to an amber blue mixture, and a scream erupted from her mouth, as she hunched over, as if in pain. Her body form shifted, skin broke, muscles tore and re-grew, bones snapped and formed into bigger bones. Shiny black hairs appeared all over her skin, and I suddenly realized what it was.
"Fur," I whispered out loud, in terrified awe. Trinity and I were clinging to each other from complete fear, and I could only imagine that the others were doing the same. Although the thought of Sasha being afraid was an odd one; I could never think of her being afraid over this.
Suddenly, a howl emitted from her mouth and she was on all fours. A torn white gown was left on the white floor. The lady was no longer a human, but a wolf.
She snarled, and I realized she was speaking.
"The Feral One will be awakened….so shortly…yes…I see her right now…the next New Moon, no doubt…" Her voice was rough, and boomed in my ears. Her eyes seemed to not be looking at us anymore, but more directly to me. I shrunk back, alarmed and horrified. Can she really see me? I wondered with the part of my brain that was still thinking rationally.
"We need to get the fuck out. Now." Tarah whispered loudly. In unison, we stood up, ignoring our soda and food, and ran as fast as we could without tripping down the stairs and into the hallway. But something felt like it was watching me as I was running. I stopped, not listening to my brain's urgent screaming of, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, RUN, YOU IDIOT! I swiveled my head around to see the werewolf girl actually not in the movie screen. She was less than 50 feet from me. The girl was back in her human form, white gown and all. She mouthed, "Two Days," And smiled.
Before I could scream, Dakota and Sasha had roughly grabbed my arms and pulled me away with them.
