Return to Harper's Island

Randy Johanson leaned over the railing of the Harper Ferry as the wind swept his shaggy brown hair back out of his face. The ferry was at least a 25 year old boat that's purpose is to transport people back and forth from Harper's island to the main land. Randy watched the water splash up against the boat. He couldn't help but feel relaxed. Randy's peaceful thoughts were quickly cut short by his friend Van who drunkenly stumbled over to him.

"Oh I don't know how much more of this I can take!" Van said putting both hands on his forehead, pushing his blonde bangs back. "I've never been this sea sick before!"

"Chill out we're almost there. Look you can see the island."

Randy raised a hand and pointed to a huge mass of land ahead. "See?"

"So why exactly did Zatanna want to throw a graduation party on an island that was recently a huge murder site?"

"She said something about a theme that it fit perfectly with, Im not sure something about a murder mystery party I think."

"Oh. How ironic."

"Hey guys are you excited about the Graduation party?" Came a voice from behind them.

Randy and Van quickly turned around to see Blair Underwood and Cooper Collette. Both wearing very casual summer clothes made up of a t-shirt, shorts and low-top converses.

"Yea. What about you?"

"Im feeling kind of bitter sweet about it, you know? I mean this is the last time that some of us will ever see each other." said Blair.

"Im just coming to see Zatanna." Cooper added

"Of course you are." Blair said back, "But you know that stalking is a crime."

"Only if you get caught." Cooper said with a smile.

Meanwhile on the other side of the ferry, Brad Williams was currently trying to show off in front of London Lockhart and her best friend Renee Esham. Both girls were very pretty, but totally different personality wise. London, who could be considered the leader, was a blonde that not many people could stand. Her attitude was terrible. Renee on the other hand was a brunette, and she was one of the most kind hearted people in their school. They have a very unlikely friendship. Brad positioned himself against the rail so he could show off his biceps. The girls stared at him in disgust.

"Do you think you could move? We want to see the island and your kind of blocking our view!" London said smartly.

"What a bitch! Its no wonder why people think Zatanna is hotter!" He replied back as he walked past them over to his friend Jonah Saracen.

London gasped out loud at the comparison of her to her sworn enemy.

As Brad approached Jonah he noticed that his best friend was laughing.

"That was the funniest thing I have ever seen! Look her chin is still on the floor!" Jonah said while laughing.

"Yea well because of that im definitely not getting laid this week."

"Oh please London Lockhart would never have sex with you!"

"Well excuse me that I cant have who ever I want Mr. Captain of the football team and dating miss hot-ass rich girl. Speaking of which how are things going with zatanna, have you got her to give it up yet?"

"No not yet but it will definitely happen this week. Im simply gonna tell her flat out, Zatanna Im a guy and guys have needs, and if your not going to provide me those needs then im going to get them somewhere else!"

"Yea we'll see how that works out!" Brad said laughing.

The ferry had finally reached the dock and everyone started getting off. Violet Crane was getting off carrying her sketch book when Brad came up and hit it out of her hand. It flew into the water.

"Thanks A lot asshole!" She yelled as Brad and Jonah walked away laughing. She let out a huge sigh and pushed her dark hair out of her face. She threw her black Slip Knot bag over her shoulder and started down the pier.

Brandon Torres noticed her sketch book and bent over and retrieved it. "Hey you dropped this." He yelled to her. His long black hair fell into his eyes. Violet turned around and walked towards him.

"Thanks but you could have left it. I'd say everything is probably ruined."

"I hope not." He replied.

They all approached a greeting station with a bulletin board beside it covered in pictures of peoples faces. The top read "In Memory of those who were lost".

"How sad." Said Gladys Smith while looking at the pictures.

"Sad? Don't you mean creepy. This just happened a year ago." Replied Eli Hunt.

Both Gladys and Eli were very socially awkward just like Brandon and Violet, But out of the four of them, everyone was surprised to see Eli and Gladys there. Unlike Brandon and Violet, neither of them were friends with Zatanna, or anyone else for that matter.

Randy Glanced over by the greeting station and noticed three taxis waiting. The driver of the first one stepped out. " Hey are you the group here for the Abernathy Graduation party?"

"Uh yea are you guys are ride? Randy asked.

"Yea we were told to pick you up and take you to the Candlewick Inn. I assume that's where your staying."

"Yea that would be the place." Said Van.

"Ok Well hop on in."

The group each piled in to one of the three taxis and made their way into town. On the way passing little shops and restaurants.

"So why are you kids having a graduation party on this island for? I mean don't get me wrong Harper's is a great place, but given its history we don't really have things like this happen here."

"Well its not really a graduation party, its kind of like a goodbye party since we are all going are separate ways and regarding the location we're not sure why she chose here." answered Van.

The three taxis pulled in front of the Candlewick Inn. It was a huge mansion that somewhere over the many years of harpers island, got turned into a hotel. It was an amazing sight. As they all stepped out and retrieved their bags from the trunks they were greeted by three figures at the top of the steps.

It was Zatanna Abernathy and her two best friends Chloe Chase and Branson Matthews.

"Good afternoon friends. As you know we recently graduated from Black Falls high and this week im throwing us a huge party. Now your probably wondering why I chose this island to have it on. Given the history of this place, I figured it would be a good place to have a murder mystery party. Before you got here you were all given cards. Each card tells your role. One card is the Murderers card and the other 14 are the victims. Everyone must open their cards in private but may share them later. Every morning the manager of the hotel, who also picked the murderer, will randomly draw a victim. That "victim" will be taken to a small house on the other side of the island where they will be sequestered. But don't worry you wont be alone to long. Sometimes there will be more than one victim a day, but today there is only one. At the end of the week, there will be a party in the courtyard, there the murderer will be revealed. So until it comes time to be "Murdered" everyone go and have fun!"

Everyone thought over what she had said and then started up the stairs excitedly. Some walked past Zatanna straight into the hotel, but some stayed and talked.

"Wow Zatanna, you really went all out." Randy said setting his suitcase on the ground.

"Anything for my friends." She replied back.

"Thanks for inviting me Zatanna." Blair said sweetly.

"No problem Blair. Any friend of Randy's is a friend of mine."

"Watch out losers, I'd like to see my girlfriend." Yelled Jonah, who pushed past Cooper and Van.

Cooper clenched his fists and glared.

Jonah was greeted by Zatanna with a hug.

"Did you have a nice boat ride?"

"No I missed you too much."

"Sorry for not being there but daddy let us borrow the boat so we could get here early and decorate."

"Its ok but don't let it happen again ok? I want to spend all week with my beautiful girl friend. Now why don't you how me to my room?"

"Ok sure. You guys can ask Charles, the manager here, to show you where your rooms are."

She turned around with Jonah and walked into the Candlewick.

"I hate that guy!" Cooper announced to the group.

"Don't worry he hates you too." Brad laughed pushing past Cooper.

Zatanna and Jonah reached the top of the steps and made a right down a hallway. They reached room 76 and pulled out a key.

"Here you go. Your home sweet home for the week."

"Is there any chance you'll share it with me?" Jonah asked caressing Zatanna's cheek.

Zatanna smiled. "You know how I feel about that Jonah. Im not ready to just give it up yet. I need time."

"Zatanna we've been together for two years! All you've had was time!"

Zatanna looked away. Jonah raised his hand to her chin and turned her head until he was looking into her eyes.

"Im sorry for rushing you, its just that I love you and you love me, and I think this is something we should share."

"I agree but im just not ready yet."

Jonah sighed and walked through the door. "Im really tired right now so im going to take a nap. I'll see you at dinner." He said as he shut the door.

Zatanna stood in the hallway in silence not knowing that around the corner someone was watching her.

Blair was unpacking her things and sticking them in drawers hen there was a knock at her door.

As she walked over to open it she pulled her black hair up into a ponytail. She reached the door and pulled it open. It was Randy.

"Hey come on in." She greeted.

"No that's ok I haven't finished packing yet, im just here to ask you if you would want to go out for dinner tonight? I saw this really nice restaurant on the way here and I would love it if you would go with me."

"I would love to Randy. What time?"

"How about seven thirty?"

"Perfect. I'll meet you in the lobby."

"Great." He said walking backwards out of her room. He didn't notice April, the maid, coming down the hallway.

"Look out!" Yelled Blair.

Randy and April collided before falling to the ground.

"Oh my gosh Im so sorry." Randy said, jumping up and extending his hand out to April.

"No its ok." She replied putting a loose strand of her red hair back into place.

Randy glanced back at Blair who was holding back a laugh. "Ok then I'll see you at seven thirty." He said Speed walking down the hallway.

Violet sat on her bed flipping through her ruined sketch book. She through it behind her where it landed with a thud. She remembered passing a book store on the way here, maybe it had art supplies in it. She stood up and grabbed her bag and walked out the door. As she reached the exit of the hotel she noticed that it was almost dark. She glanced at her phone. Ten till seven. She had about half an hour before it was fully dark, so she quickly started out of the hotel.

Chloe Chase stood in front of her bathroom mirror fixing her blonde hair. She was going to go out tonight with her friend Branson, and try to find a guy that wants to buy her a few drinks.

"Ok I'm ready, what about you?"

"Waiting on you." Branson replied with a grin, "So where are we going?"

"There's this bar called the Cannery, down by the dock. I hear it's a local hangout."

"Ok then lets go. Maybe I'll find a guy that's actually worth my time." Branson said with a sly look on his face.

"You and me both." Chloe replied grabbing her purse and opening her room door.

Violet exited the book store and stepped onto the street. She looked down at her right hand which now contained a plastic bag with a new sketch book inside. It was dark out now so she figured she should hurry up and get back to the hotel. After all there was a "murderer" on the loose and she did not want to be the first victim. She walked into the alleyway beside the bookstore it was a shortcut to the main road that went back to the house. As she was walking she heard something behind her. It sounded like footsteps. Violet stopped and slowly turned around. There was nothing there. She turned around only to bump into a figure.

"AHHHH" She screamed tossing her bag into the air.

"Whoa Vie chill out its me, Van."

"Oh my gosh, you scared the crap out of me!"

"Whoa what's wrong, you act like you just saw a ghost."

"No, im ok I just thought that I heard someone behind me." She said, glancing behind her then back to Van.

"Well I don't see anyone." Van said glancing past her, "We better get back to the hotel, its dark and we don't know anyone around here. There's no telling what could happen around here."

Violet picked up her bag and looked behind her once more before leaving the alley with Van.

At the Cannery, Brad had just finished off his 7th shot. He glanced over and saw Chloe Chase sitting on top of the bar surrounded by men and her gay friend Branson. He stumbled her way.

"Hey Chloe wanna come back to my hotel room with me? I have something I wanna show you." Brad slurred out.

"Uh no thanks, im pretty occupied at the moment, why don't you ask Branson?" She said with laugh.

"No thanks Chlo Im not intrested in him." Branson replied.

Everyone around them laughed.

"Haha" Brad mocked, "Shut up You little bitch, im more of a man than anyone of these losers."

A man in the Crowd turned around and walked towards Brad. He was bigger than Brad by at least a foot.

"Oh you think your tough little man?" said the man pushing Brad.

Brad pushed back.

The man stumbled but brought his fist up and punched Brad right in the cheek. Brad fell to the ground but quickly jumped back up and hit the guy. The guy quickly brought his fist up and popped Brad right in the nose. Blood instantly started pouring from it. The bartender quickly came around the bar and stepped between the two guys.

"Get this guy out of here!" He yelled pointing to Brad.

Another man came over and picked Brad up by the collar. He pulled him to the door than tossed him out. Brad landed on his stomach. The man closed the door behind him as he went back in.

"You all can go to hell!" Brad yelled as he picked himself up.

He started to dust himself off as he headed up the road back to the hotel.

There was a noise coming from the woods which made Brad jump.

"Hello?" He called out walking closer.

The trees started moving and a figure stepped out.

'Hello?" Brad called again, "Can I help you?"

"Yea you can." replied the voice.

The figure stepped closer.

"Oh its you, What are you doing in the woods?"

"This." replied the figure as he lunged forward with a knife.

Before Brad could react, the guy plunged the knife into Brad's stomach.

"Ahh!' Brad cried.

The figure twisted the knife and plunged it deeper. Brad doubled over and finally fell to the ground. The figure stabbed him a couple more times before dragging Brad's corpse into the woods.

Randy and Blair stepped out of Rouge, a new restaurant here on the island. It wasn't 5 stars but it was pretty high class compared to everything else on the island.

"I had a good time tonight Randy."

"Good." Randy replied, "Im glad."

They continued the walk back to the hotel.

"So Blair, what did your card say?"

"Well if I tell you I'd have to kill you." Blair said with a smile.

Randy let out a fake laugh, then quickly turned serious.

"I'm Kidding!" she laughed, "I'm a victim. What about you?"

"The same."

They reached the hotel and walked inside. As they entered they saw Zatanna laying on the love seat in front of the fire place and Cooper sitting on the floor beside her. She was laughing about something. Cooper glanced back and saw them.

"Oh hey guys how did your date go?" He asked, which caused Zatanna to look back.

"It wasn't a date, it was a dinner between friends. Right Randy?"

"Uh yea. What she said."

"So it was a date then." Zatanna said laughing.

Cooper joined in.

"Well Blair I had fun but im going to bed." Randy said trying to hide his embarrassment, "Do you want me to walk you to your room?"

"Sure." She glanced over to Cooper and Zatanna, "Good night you guys, And thanks again Zatanna for inviting me, its gonna be a good week."

"No problem Blair. Good night to you too."

Zatanna watched as they walked up the steps to the second floor. Cooper glanced up at Zatanna who was starring into the fire.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing."

"It doesn't seem like nothing."

"I don't want to unload on you."

"Its ok, that's what friends are for right?"

She looked at him for a moment before deciding to continue on.

"Ok, but you've been warned. Some of this stuff is very personal."

He nodded, "Ok, go on."

"Ok, so Jonah and I have been together for two years now and we have yet to-" she paused, "You know, have sex. Well lately I feel like he has been pressuring me to do it, but I don't want to. I feel like my virginity is something I can control, and one of the only things that set me apart from everyone else."

"I have a lot of respect for you because of that, there arn't a lot of people who can still say they are virgins."

"Really?"

"Absolutely." He replied.

They both sat in silence each looking at the fire. Zatanna finally looked at cooper before reaching down and taking his face into her hands. She leaned over and kissed him. Cooper put his hand on her back and pulled her into him. Neither realized that around the corner was a murderer watching them. The front door of the hotel shut which caused Zatanna and Cooper to both jump up. Chloe and Branson stood in the entrance starring at them.

"Hey guys how was the bar?"

"Well it was great until Brad showed up and killed the mood. Speaking of the devil, have you seen him? I'd like to give him a good cusing!" Chloe said looking around.

"Um no we haven't seen him. The only people who have walked through that door were Randy and Blair."

"Well if we're lucky, he wont come back."

"Oh you know he will. Its Brad after all." Cooper Replied.

At that moment the hotel manager rounded the corner.

"Oh you guys are still awake. I was going to extinguish the fire, but if you guys are gonna be up then I'll leave it on."

"That's ok, we were all just about to go to bed."

"Ok if your sure." He replied

"Yea we're sure." Zatanna said walking to the stairs.

Cooper, Chloe, and Branson all followed. After reaching the top of the stairs, Zatanna stopped cooper. After glancing to make sure Chloe and Branson had went into their rooms, she decided it was safe to talk.

"Listen Cooper, I would really appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone about what happened in the den."

"No problem, it will be our secret."

Zatanna looked at him then nodded. She turned around and headed to her room. After she stepped in Cooper went in to his own room. Once his door was shut, Jonah Saracen shut his.

So what did you guys think? Who do you think the killer is? let me know in reviews!!!
