Courtney's POV
I won? Won what? I thought to myself quietly as I stood outside our mailbox nosing through our mail. I hurriedly opened the black envelope that read CONGRATULATIONS YOU WON in red cursive.
"Maybe I won a scholarship to an ivy league school! FINALLY im being recognized for my true tale- what the heck?"
I cut myself off as I looked at the letter. It was one of those weird letters where people take letters from different magazines. It read-
Congratulations, Courtney Snow
Now its time for you to go!
Where u ask? A paradise!
Your mansion awaits at 560-65-94
You won't leave once you shut the front door!
I blinked. So…. I won a mansion? And didn't enter any contests? And what's with the creepy cut-out letters? Strange….
Normal POV
"OMG! YOU WON A MANSION?!" Bridgette screeched happily.
Gwen was grinning like an idiot also. "Wow Court. You're so good u didn't even need to enter to win!" she laughed sarcastically.
A slightly smaller girl of 14 sat next to Courtney with a small frown on her face. She had tan skin like Courtney, but had much longer brown hair and was wearing a tight short sleeved white V-neck with white leggings and black flip-flops.
"I don't like this at ALL." She muttered, looking at the other girls.
"Courtney has really good luck and won a mansion. What's not to like Al? Gwen asked curiously.
"It's not Al, Gwen, call her by her full name. It's pretty" Courtney finished with a smile
"Alanis is pretty, but it's a big word. ME NO LIKE BIG WORDS!" Gwen laughed.
"Well personally I like Atlantis," Bridgette smiled, "It suits her. I mean, she wants to be a marine biologist, which I think-"
"Is a waste of an amazing gift of intelligence and cunning!" Courtney sniffed.
"Are we going to have this argument AGAIN Court? Marine biology needs Atlantis and I."
"Alanis would be a great law enforcer!"
"GUYS FOCUS!" Alanis shouted, "Now lemme see the letter."
Courtney handed her the letter and she, Gwen, and Bridgette sat in silence as Alanis scanned the letter and even flipped it over and squinted at the other side.
"The numbers!" she squeaked suddenly into the silence, "They're coordinates!"
"I have a GPS." Bridgette exclaimed.
"Well then what are we waiting for? LET'S GO SEE A MANSION!" Gwen shouted and pumped her hand into the air.
They all got up chatting excitedly and piled into Gwen's black car. Alanis got the letter out and slid into the front seat.
"Ok so the numbers are 560,"
Alanis punched the first number into the GPS, "Then 65."
She glanced at the letter a third time. "Aaaaaaaaand 94!"
Alanis said happily as she put in the last numbers. A few seconds, and then the screen blinked.
"ERROR, ERROR, LOCATION DOES NOT EXIST!" the GPS wailed.
Dead silence.
"Umm, here ill try." Gwen muttered. She tried punching in the numbers again. And the same exact thing happened.
"HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THERE?!" Courtney shouted angrily as they all got out of the car.
"I dunno. What's Atlantis's deal?" Bridgette said suddenly. Alanis was looking in front of Courtney's driveway in pure surprise. They all gasped as a horse pulled carriage pulled up.
"Cool!" Alanis said happily as she jogged over to the carriage. She lept in gracefully while the others followed suit.
"Um, this is kinda hard to explain but we don't exactly know where were going but we do have.."
The driver cut Alanis off by whipping the horses and started traveling west.
"Maybe he saw the coordinates?" Alanis suggested quietly.
"Ya, probably." Courtney muttered nervously. Something was wrong. VERY wrong. The warm summer air grew colder and colder with each second.
Its probably just nerves. Courtney thought quietly, "Does anyone have the time?"
"Ya it'll be six PM in five, four, three, two,one, ZERO!" Gwen finished.
There was a weird moaning sound, followed by a blood curdling pine from the horses. Then all hell broke lose. Bridgette screamed and jumped out of the carriage, pulling Gwen with her. Courtney and Alanis sat transfixed and frozen with horror and the driver, or what was the driver, turned around. His whole body was a skeleton. But he still had the cold, nerdish eyes Courtney remembered. And there was blood all over… "CODY?!" Courtney screeched and jumped out. They watched as the carriage kept going, skeleton horses pulling the carriage and…. "ALANIS?! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Bridgette cried.
No answer.
"AL THIS ISNT FUNNY WHERE ARE YOU!?" Gwen shouted.
Still no answer.
They all watched the carriage with Alanis still inside melt into the dark driveway of Courtney's horrible prize.
