Queen Luana : Queen Luana's back with another horrorstory! MUAHAHA! Well, it was this Halloween Party and we watched some horrors. Namely The Grudge (none of us could sleep), The Ring 2 and Shriek. That Shriek was hilarious! It was Scary Movie but way funnier, really! I know it isn't The Ring 2 I'm writing, because of the simple reason that all my characters from The Ring died. : P So, I'm gonna do Rings now, I dunno if anyone of you watched that for those who haven't, it's this really short movie that's actually the link between The Ring and The Ring 2. Skip this little piece of information if you know what it's about…

Rings is a short extra you get on the DVD of The Ring 2. Apparently, the tape featuring Samara Morgan has become this new craze. All around the world people are watching it and even a site is made for the tape. The point is, people who watched the tape must film whatever they see during their seven days and try to hang on as long as possible. Till the start of Rings no one has ever been able to whitness the seventh day, so, a boy is challenged to do this. But it gets too much for him and he makes a copy for his friend (they agreed that when he had enough his buddy would watch the copy and free him from the curse). You might already guess that his good friend has changed his mind about the tape and he has to find somebody else. Edventually he calls this girl from school who has a crush on him, I believe and that's when The Ring 2 begins. Thank you.

Wow, my longest intro yet! Anyway, enjoy this first chapter of Rings. And some of you may have noticed that my horrorstories follow a line. First was The Ring and then follows The Sixth Sense. Rings is what follows after those two. Man, I just keep talking, don't I? Here's the chapter without further delay!

Chapter I

A deadly bet

"Stupid woman…"

Vegeta dragged the two bags filled with groceries along the shopping lane, his face grumpier than it had ever been. A mere woman had forced him to go to the shop? And he had agreed? Well, not like he had a choice… The woman had gone out of town for business and he had to watch over Trunks which also meant supply food. He had to take it from the good side though, now he wouldn't suffer from food poisoning anymore. Now he knew what he was eating!

Then Vegeta spotted the little gang hanging outside a photo shop. The group existed out of four badly dressed teenagers, one girl with long brown hair and four boys, one bald the others with long black hair. "Hey, did you hear that story about that tape?" a blackhaired boy said. He pulled out a black tape labelled 'COPY'. "This tape?" The girl shrugged indifferent and snuggled close to the other blackhaired boy. "Ever heard of a thing called DVD?" she hissed then laughed loudly her boyfriend chuckling as well.

"Hang on, I heard about it," the fat bald guy spoke with low voice. "When you watch it you die after seven days, right?" The boy holding the tape nodded. "That's right, the thing is, I watched it and I still have to find somebody to pass it on to!" "Are you crazy?" the girl cried. "You're dead! Why on earth did you watch it?" "Look it's this new hype, alright? Lots of people watch it."

Vegeta listened with raised eyebrow. "Getting killed by a tape?" he said loudly. "How lame!" The entire group turned to him and Vegeta realised he must've looked rediculous with those grocery-bags. "Hey, you got a problem?" the bald guy said. Vegeta merely laughed. "It's quite simply pathetic people die by watching a tape." "Well did you watch it yet?" the girl snapped sweeping backwards her hair. Vegeta snorted. "It's not worth my time." The gang sniggered mockingly and the blachaired guy held out the tape. "I'm quite sure it is." Vegeta gave it a disdainful look. "What's the matter?" the girl mocked. "You scared?" Vegeta snatched the tape from the boy's hand and tucked it away in one of the plastic bags. Then he marched of.

The girl turned to her comrades. "How stupid is that guy?"

Arriving home Vegeta tossed the bags into the couch, missing his son by an inch. Trunks however did not even look up. "Hi dad." "Hey." Trunks looked away from the Adams Family and peeked into the bags. He grinned slightly. Pizza… duh, as if his dad could cook. He was if possible even worse than his mother. He looked into the second bag and saw that one was full of beer for his dad and soda for him. But way beneath all that junk he spotted something black… Trunks pulled out the tape and he turned pale instantly.

It had been five years, five years since it had happened. Since the son family died. Yet he still thought about it every day. And then seeing this nameless tape except for the word copy… "It's just a copy dad made…" he muttered to himself while heading towards the kitchen. "Yeah that's it…" His father was in the kitchen drinking a beer. "Uh dad?" "Yeah?" "W-What's on this tape?"

Vegeta shrugged. "Some kids gave it to me…" "Well, what's it about?" Trunks asked trembling. "I dunno, they were saying it kills people… what a load of shit…" Vegeta muttered staring outside the kitchen window. Trunks went pale. So, the rumours were true. There indeed were copies of the tape. "I-I'm gonna take a shower," he said hastily then stormed upstairs.

The cool water pourred down Trunks' body and he took a deep breath. He could not believe what was happening. Was it coincidense? Or had Samara Morgan somehow forced her way to their house? He only had one choice. He had to destroy that tape! He jumped out of the shower and quickly dried himself off and pulled on his clothes.

Water was still dripping down his face and shirt when he ran down. In the kitchen he looked around for his dad and saw he was nowhere near. He quickly dropped the tape onto the ground and stamped on it, then jumped on it. Soon, all what was left of it was a bunch of plastic. He smiled satisfied at the sight of the shattered tape. "Not here, Samara," he whispered. "Not here."

He heard the toilet flush and his father walked into the kitchen, there spotting the destructed tape on the ground and his son smiling happily. "Somebody doesn't like videos…" Vegeta muttered. Trunks smiled and took a can of soda out of the fridge. "I prefer DVDs," he said and clipped the can open then took a gulp. "You're right, the quality's way better," his father agreed and drank some of his own beer. "Didn't know what the hell this one was about either. It was weird."

Trunks choked for a moment and spit out his soda at this. He coughed and looked at his father with teary eyes. "Y-You watched it?" Vegeta shrugged. "Yeah, when you were taking a shower. It was weird, really weird…" "What did you see?" Trunks asked still hoping it had contained something else, his father had received the wrong tape. "I dunno," Vegeta muttered. "Lots of things. A chair, a ladder, centepy…"

"What about a girl? Did you see a girl as well?" Trunks asked his panick rising by the second. Vegeta thought for a moment, then nodded. "And a woman too." Trunks swallowed. "Did the phone ring afterwards?" Vegeta raised an eyebrow at his son. "Yeah, did you hear it?" Trunks shook his head. "Did it say : seven days?" Vegeta laughed shortly. "Yeah, how do you know?"

Trunks looked down at the pieces of remaining tape. His father's only chance to live was lying there on the ground in pieces. He had destroyed it.

Queen Luana : Yey, first chapter is finito! Please review, I know this chapter is stupid but all my first chapters suck! It's just a fact! Well, I'll see you at the next chapter! Bye-bye!
