Prologue
Two girls were in the middle of double checking the small B&B room they had booked for the last few days to make sure they had packed all of their stuff. They had just come back from a live Bon Jovi concert in Slane Castle in Co. Meath though both girls are from Dublin. They were not on their way to a five day camp with their friends.
"Jessie, you got everything?" Jessica was a 5ft4 23 year old girl, with long dirty blonde hair. She had a curvy athletic body with a rack most girls would kill for.
"I think so Charley-girl, I'm just gonna check the bathroom before we head down stairs"
"Alright babes" Charlene or Charley-girl which is what Jess called her, is a 5ft3 brunette with a slim figure and legs that always looked like they went on for miles.
"Ok, bathroom is clear Baby girl. I am still buzzen from that concert ...ugh... he was just amazing live. He comes back to Ireland next year we are so going again" the girls smiled at one another.
"Hell ye we are Jessie, I swear if Bon Jovi had of reached just a little further off stage I would have grabbed him and ran ha"
Walking over, Jess threw her arm over Charley's shoulder "Oh I would have been right behind you babes. He is just one of those guys that get better looking with age" they sent each other a sly smile.
Their bags were piled by the door ready to go down stairs and cheek out, "We have everything Jessie, you ready to shoot?" Jess was routing in her jean pockets "Ugh nope ... Where did I leave my phone, can you call it for me babes?" "Sure, hang on." Both girls stood listening for the vibration they knew would sound from Jess's phone. A buzzing was coming from next to one of the single beds. Jess went over and found her phone under the bed. "Huh? How did that get there? Oh well" Jess walked back over toward Charley and staggered a few steps "Wow" "Hay, you ok Jessie?" Charley went over to Jessie and helped her stand up properly "Ye, I don't know where that came from, I feel fine", "Ok" Charley kept a steady hand on her shoulder a small frown worrying her face. "Maybe we still need another few hours of sleep to recover properly baby girl" Jess was doing what she always did hiding behind her hummer. "Hmmm" Charley made a face knowing Jess was bull shitting about something.
Jess swayed again and reached a hand out to steady herself on the nearest wall "Ok maybe I'm not too good Charley" "Shit. Jess what wrong?" Charley helped her stand against the wall and went to get Jess water from the bathroom. "Here Jess, drink this" she gulped down the liquid in an attempt to rid the dizzy spell but to no avail.
Suddenly Jess gasped, pain rocketing through her skull causing her to fall to her knees. "Jessie!" Charley grasped Jess's hands trying to pull them away from her head "Come on Jess, talk to me? What's wrong?!" Charley's panicked breathing increased seeing the pain etched on her face. Pulling Jess from her knees on the floor toward the door, "Come on, we get you down stairs. We need an ambulance or something" Jess gave no sign that she had heard Charley talking, but pulled herself up to follow. "I can't...Charley I can't walk ... God that hurts...Everywhere hurts!" She collapsed against their bags by the door. "Oh God Jess your nose...wait there" Charley ran to their small bathroom for a wet cloth and back, holding the cloth to her now bleeding nose "Here, hold this, I need to go ... Shit ...I can't leave you by yourself"
Charley wrenched open the door and began screaming for help down the corridor. She turned back to Jess after hearing another gasp of pain to see her leaning back on their bags clutching her head. It looked as if she was holding her breath. "Jess? ...Jessie?" Just as Charley was stepping towards her there was a flash of light that looked like it came from behind Jess. "What the..." Charley dived to pull Jess towards her but there was another brighter hotter flash of light. Jess had now passed out, blood running from her nose and mouth, tears streaks fresh on her face. The flashing light got brighter and hotter Charley push herself against the wall, calling out for Jess and praying someone down stairs would hear. One last blinding flash that left Charley seeing white behind her eye lids and Jess was gone.
"What?...No what the Fuck! Jessie?! ...What, where is she?" Charley pealed herself off the wall shaking. She could remember hearing people run up the corridor on the wooden floors, then, everything went dark.
