Movie Magic
'Everyone was gone. She looked around, scared at what was happening. Could this be the end of the world as she knew it?'
Tara was in the middle of her favorite book when her best friend, Ashley, ran up to her.
"Guess what?" She practically screamed. "You'll never believe it. We got the part of the Skylar twins in the movie we auditioned for! Isn't it amazing? I was hoping SO MUCH that we would get it. We really look the part! Blond hair,
brown eyes, we could totally be twins! You know-"
Tara cut her off. "That's great! I called today, actually, and both of our parents are there. Let's go!"
As soon as they got there, they took a look around the whole giant place, almost like a castle with a filming studio.
"Woah," Tara breathed, "this is epic!"
When they went inside the studio room, Ashley immediately called for there parents. "Mom? Dad? Mr. Elbimo? Anyone?" She called out, waiting for a reply. Tara thought to herself how weird that was. Mr. Elbimo was the director, surely he would
hear them! They looked further into the studio, and then went into the back. When they got there, they were shocked at what they saw.
Right in front of them were nine gravestones.
As Tara examined the gravestones carefully, she became highly disturbed. On the gravestones were the names of:
•Tara's Mom
•Tara's Dad
•Ashley's Mom
•Ashley's Dad
•Mr. Elbimo, the director
•Ms. Willis, the camera woman
•Mrs. Scolley, the producer
But that wasn't what disturbed her most. On the last two gravestones were the names Tara Johnson and Ashley Coral.
**************************Part Two

Tara and Ashley looked around the place, evidently shocked at what they saw. None of the people on the graves were there, except for them.
No. No way. It couldn't be true, right? It had to be fake, because she had called them earlier!
"That's it!" She exclaimed, startling Ashley. "What? What's it?" She asked.
"Well, I called them earlier," Tara explained, "And they responded! My mom told me that everyone was here, even your parents. She said to come over immediately."
Relieved by the information, they sprinted over to the phone room.
"Let's call my mom first." Ashley said.
When they got to the phone, there was an awful surprise. The voicemail announced the last voicemail recording. The recording said:
"Hey, Tara! Everyone is here, even Ashley's parents. Come over immediately!"
No way. Tara couldn't believe it!
"Hey, you ok?" Ashley asked, seeing Tara's face.
"No," She breathed, "No way. It can't be. That's exactly what I heard when I called! I didn't hear my mom, I heard a recording!" At this point she was nearly screaming, shaking Ashley by the shoulders.
"If they're not here, where are they?"
**************************Part Three

The girls rushed back to the gravestones, desperate to find something. While she was examining it, Ashley slipped and fell on the dust.
"There's a lot of dust here," Tara murmured suspiciously, running her hand over the dusty wall. "Hey, Ashley, look at this! I think there's something behind this dust!"
Ashely brushed herself off and came. It was true. They both could see some sort of door-sized figure behind the dust.
They both brushed all of the dust off, and lo and behold, there was a door!
They pushed the door and it creaked open.
Ashley gasped loudly. "What!?" She practically yelled. Behind the door were all of the people on the gravestones!
Tara rushed to her parents and removed the tape from their mouths and untied their hands and feet. She then did the same for everybody else.
"What did they do to you?" Cried Ashley.
Ashley's mother, Mrs. Anderson, rushed forward and gave her daughter a hug.
"The man, he trapped us all here! He put a gun to Mrs. Henderson's head and made her say those things in the voicemail recording. How did you find us?"
While Ashley told her the story, Tara looked around the place. She had found some sort of tunnel on the ground, some type of passageway. When nobody was looking, she crawled through.
The tunnel was dusty and murky. She could barely breathe. Still, she kept going. When she got to the other side, she held her breath. There was an enormous hole in the middle of the room! On the other side was a mysterious masked man.
"Well, well, well," sneered the man in his raspy voice. "Looks like your trapped now. Your little friend can't help you either. I've been watching you through the security cameras, you aren't that bright. Oops, looks like your trapped now!
Haha!"
Tara spun around. The entrance to the tunnel was shut. She pulled on the lid, but it wouldn't budge.
Everyone was gone. She looked around, scared at what was happening. Could this be the end of the world as she knew it?
"You all are as good as dead," he hissed, "so I made graves for you all!"
Fortunately for Tara, she noticed something he didn't. There was a wide, huge board hanging from ropes on the ceiling. It was big enough to get from one side of the hole to the other, but was thin and flimsy. If the man tried to walk on it, it would collapse.
An idea clicked in her mind. That was it! If he walked in it, it would collapse! She kept staring at it, waiting for the man to notice. He did.
"Well," he seemed to be thinking. "Well, well, well. She'll never escape me now!"
He shook the ropes , making the board fall. Tara pretended to be scared. She was a good actress, after all.
The man cackled and began to walk. To his horror,the board started cracking. "Huh?" He yelled. "What? Aahhh!" He screamed as the board broke and he fell through the hole.
Satisfied, Tara yanked with all her might and the tunnel opened. She went to her family and they went home.
"Well, that was something," she said. "I'm never going anywhere without double checking again!"

The End ;)
