Author's First Note; So when I first published this story it was two years ago. Called The Shadows vs. The Light. I have become a slightly better writer since then so if you want to make fun of my eighth grade work go read it. This time I'm adding a character and another part to the prophecy. And hopefully a new twist on things that will entertain you and as always my sarcasm will be present.
I looked over my shoulder and flipped on my turn signal button before I merged into the right lane and onto my exit. The snow was coming down pretty hard and I remembered what my mom told me and slowed down my car. I was so nervous and excited about getting to my friend's house.
This weekend would be the last weekend Meggan, Wanessa, and I would spend together. Wanessa was moving south and we were having a party between the three of us like it used to be in the beginning. Sitting inside for the entire weekend playing Kingdom Hearts, eating seriously unhealthy food, jamming to loud music, and acting retarded at the same time.
I was about five minutes from Meg's house and I couldn't help but going a few miles over the speed limit. I pulled into the driveway and yanked my bag out of the seat next to me and slammed my truck door shut. Snow blew into my face as I walked up to the front door. I kicked the snow off my chucks and walked through the door.
"LADIES I'M HOME!" I called into the house. Meg appeared at the top of the steps wrapped in a towel and her hair dripping.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU KNOCK!" She yelled, "I COULD HAVE BEEN NAKED!" I just laughed at her and she laughed. "My mom's at work all night so we have the place to ourselves."
"Yes!" I dropped my bag at the foot of the stairs and walked into the living room. Wanessa was sitting in front of the computer checking her blog. Her long brown hair was slightly curly today and she wore a maroon and gold football shirt from her and Meg's school. "NESSA!" I hugged her and gave her a giant smooch on the cheek.
"Rachel!" She squealed back. I laughed and let her go. Her brown eyes were lit up and happy and I smiled at her.
"Are we all set up?" I asked. She nodded.
"Meg's just got to get dressed and we can begin our amazing laziness," She laughed. I plopped down on the couch and only a few minutes later Meg clomped down the stairs. Her short brown hair was curling under her ears. She was wearing a green tank top and green and pink pajama pants.
"What are you doing in clothes?" She asked.
"I'm not sure," I said, getting up and walking over to my bag, "But if you set up the game I'll go change." She nodded and bent over to turn on the play station. I put on my green plaid pants and black t-shirt and ran back into the living room where the opening lines of Utada Hikaru's ISimple and Clean/I were just coming on. Meg held the controller.
"I called Destiny Islands," She informed me.
"Traverse Town!" Nessa chimed in.
"Ewwe I hate Wonderland," I complained. "Its so…wondrous." They just laughed at me and Meggan began the tutorial.
An hour later I made a trip to the kitchen to get a drink. Meg and Nessa were working together to defeat the Gecko in Deep Jungle. I came back in with my drink and sat down behind them.
"What are you drinking?" Meg asked.
"Water." She reached back her hand to get it from me.
"No way!" I yanked the glass back. A few droplets hit the carpet.
"Give it!" She jumped on me to get the water, laughing we both tumbled around until we bumped into Nessa.
"Hey, I'm trying to kill a Gecko here!" She complained, a smile playing on the edges of her mouth. Meg grabbed the glass.
"GOT IT!" She wretched it out of my hands and water splashed from the glass and landed on the play station. She drank what was left of the water and laughed as I pouted. Suddenly the screen on the game and Nessa froze up.
"Nessa?" I asked, putting my hands on her shoulders. She didn't move or answer.
"Wanessa?" Meg asked, she leaned forwards and looked at her face. She tried waving her hand in her face but she didn't even flinch. "What the hell?" I grabbed Meg's hand.
"Maybe she had a seizure!" We both stared at each other and started to laugh. "Nessa, snap out of it. Very funny." But she still didn't move. I still had a hand on her shoulder and I was holding Meg's hand. A loud snap made both of us jump.
A bright blue spark emitted from the playstation and made the room glow an eerie electrical tint. I couldn't move, but I could hear Meg yelling in the distance, then she was silent. The blue changed to green and there were numbers everywhere. Then suddenly it was black.
"Shit."
