Fright Night- chapter one- Sleepover.
Lightning light up the dark sky as the eight teenagers huddled together in fear after the end credits of Monster Mayhem.
Kim Possible had organized this sleepover since it was October, Friday the thirteenth and it was a full moon outside; at least as far as she knew. The rain pelted the windows of the Possible house.
"That was the best!" Ron cried out as Felix, Josh, and Brick joined him in cheering.
"That was terrifying," Bonnie complained; Tara and Monique had to agree.
Kim just watched the events unfold as she smiled at her friends. They were all seniors now; except for Brick. Bonnie Rockwaller decided to patch things up with Kim and soon the two of them were the best of friends. Ron and Kim's relationship has been growing each day; with no sign of stopping.
Even though this sleepover was inter-gender some rules applied: No extreme physical touch; kissing and cuddling were allowed, and when it came time to fall asleep the men would move upstairs with Mr. Possible while the girls stayed downstairs with Mrs. Possible.
It was only nine and lights out was at exactly midnight so Ron decided that it was time for scary stories. Each couple paired together under one sleeping bag and held each other close for maximum comfort.
Each person told normal stories of ghosts and phantoms; each one better than the last, but when it was Ron's turn he grinned and cleared his throat.
"Those stories were interesting, but mine will be the scariest because the story I am about to tell you is absolutely true."
Josh held Tara close as Bonnie had to hold an already terrified Brick.
"A hundred years ago a new arrived at Middleton; they were the Morris's. The family consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Morris, their two sons Henry and Thomas, and their seven year old daughter Victoria. The family was very wealthy so they moved into a large mansion on the outskirts of town."
Ron's voice seemed scratchy and eerie to Kim. She actually began to move next to Monique and Felix; he continued.
"Some townspeople wondered why they built a house so far away from town, but they didn't dwell on it for too long. The Morris family needed workers and servants so they paid anyone who was willing to work for them. Soon dozens of maids, butlers, and gardeners clattered the halls of the mansion, but soon after just five months strange thing began to happen."
"Is this a story or a history lesson?" asked Bonnie who didn't seem impressed.
"SHHHHHHH!!!" everyone else said as they all turn back to Ron with curiosity; he smiled and went on.
"People began disappearing and all of them worked in the Morris mansion. The police did countless searches, but no evidence could prove that the Morris' were responsible; until; two teenagers took the law into their own hands." Ron stood up suddenly and paced around the room still telling the story, "The two teens were childhood friends and both of their parents worked at the Morris mansion and they all disappeared too. They were positive that something was going on and they had to prove it."
Bonnie let out a slight yawn which broke Ron's concentration for a second, but he soon recovered.
"The two teens searched the premises, but couldn't find anything so they decided to sneak into the house. Crawling in through an open window they quietly looked around hoping that they wouldn't be caught; then one of them found a hidden stairway behind the bookcase. The two of them went down where they came face to face with a grisly sight. Corpses strewn the ground, knives and cleavers hung from the ceiling. This was a torture chamber, but the reasons came when they went back up. As they closed the bookcase they could see the entire Morris family in the dining room eating chunks of red meat. The bad part was that the centerpiece of the table was a human head. This was all the evidence that they needed and as soon as they left the mansion they reported to the police."
The story was reaching its climax and everyone, even Bonnie, sat quietly and listened.
"The police surrounded the grounds and forcibly entered the mansion. The teenagers showed them the torture chamber and what they did; one of the officers had found the Morris'. They were al found hung in the attic; the final victim of their cruel game, or was it?"
Everyone held onto each other prepared for the worst.
"The incident was so grisly that the authorities never reported it and soon it was a well kept secret. Five years after the Morris Massacre a new family moved into the abandoned house. They were newlyweds and had not heard the story of the house. Soon they began to hear noises and see things after only a few weeks. They thought it was their imagination, but soon after just a month in that house they went missing. They were found a few days later in a ravine not too far away and it was dismissed as an unsolved murder. Soon a new family came; they would all commit suicide, the next one was murdered by the father and then he killed himself; altogether twelve families died or disappeared after staying in that house. To this day the people of Middleton are unaware of the danger that they leave unchecked and soon more people will die because of the…Morris … Curse!!!" He ended with dramatic flair and received a loud applause. He bowed and then was tackled by Kim who hugged him vigorously.
"Wow Ron that sure was scary; is it really true?" asked Monique.
"Yes it is I have a viable source; in fact I have two.
"Who?" asked Josh.
"Remember the two teenagers that uncovered the plot?" They all nodded, "Well guess what their names were."
No one answered and they all shrugged their shoulders.
"Billy Stoppable and Jenny Possible."
"You mean our great-grandparents were the two teens that stopped the Morris'?" asked Kim.
"Yep you can ask Mr. Dr. P when he comes down; I asked my mom who told me how great-grandpa told her."
"At least it didn't have any monkeys in it," joked Bonnie.
"I don't know if I believe that story Ron," Brick said, "Sounds like a lot of hoopla to me."
Ron suddenly grinned from ear to ear and looked at Brick, "Well the mansion is only an hour's drive away from here so how about we make a little wager."
"What did you have in mind?" he asked curiously.
"Come with me to the mansion and stay in it till midnight tomorrow."
Brick thought about it and smiled, "Alright and I'll prove to you that the Morris Curse is just a myth."
"Hey! What about us?" asked Tara motioning to everyone else.
"Yeah we want in on it too," replied Felix.
"Okay then how about we meet here at nine-thirty and Brick, bring a second pair of under wear so you don't have any accidents," he snickered.
"Don't worry; it'll be you who's sorry," Brick replied defiantly.
"Uh-oh look out Kim the two knuckle heads are at it again," said Bonnie rolling her eyes. Brick and Ron have always tried to one up on each other and this was no different.
"Alright tomorrow we head to Morris Manor!"
The moonlight hone down as the group piled into their cars and made their way to the forest where the mansion lay. No one told their parents so they hoped that no one would notice them missing.
After an hour of driving they arrived at the huge Iron Gate that blocked the entrance to the manor. The boys all got out and together they pulled the gate open.
It made a loud groaning sound which sent shivers up everyone's spines, but undeterred they continued to the mansion.
Ron was the first to reach the front door; it had been abandoned for decades so no one bothered to change the locks. Ron turned the knob and the creaky door swung open. Everyone slowly entered and cautiously looked around.
Ron found two candelabras on the table nearby and some matches. After lighting them they got a better look at the inside.
The mansion looked more like a castle from inside; a long staircase lay in front of them. Statues of griffons and gargoyles with grotesque faces gave them chills.
"Alright how about we split up we'll se more of the mansion that way," Ron suggested.
Everyone else didn't like the idea, but some thought it would be better than staying with Ron since he seemed to be the only one enjoying this. After a few moments of discussion they agreed and paired up by couple; not surprisingly.
Ron and Kim went to the kitchen, Bonnie and Brick made their way to the second floor, Felix and Monique proceeded to the ballroom, and Josh and Tara climbed the stairs as well.
Bonnie and Brick didn't much care for this place, but it did do one thing for them; peace and quiet. They walked down the halls till they reached a large room that looked to be a guest room complete with a queen size bed.
The two teenagers made their way to the bed after locking the door behind them and began a massive make out session.
Ron however was more interested in the house than in Kim which kind of upset her. She tapped him on the shoulder and gave him a mean look.
"I'm sorry KP, but this is the first time that I've been in a haunted mansion," he said seeing what she was upset about.
"I admire that Ron, but still we can't just find an old couch to sit on and just cuddle?" she cooed.
"Can we at least see the torture chamber first please?" he begged giving his own puppy dog pout.
Kim gave in, "Alright, but after this you owe me some major love time."
Meanwhile Tara and Josh were inspecting another part of the second floor. They looked into countless bedrooms and even a nursery, but then they saw a really cool room. The room had to be the library because the walls were nothing, but rows and rows of books.
Tara pulled one down and briefly looked through it contents; it was very dusty and old.
Then Josh noticed a book lying on a table. He looked at it closely and could see that this book was not only old, but valuable. Jewels and gold surrounded the cover and from the feel of it it was wrapped in leather.
He called Tara over and showed her the book. She looked at it title: NECROMANCE AVILIA SECROMIE.
"What does that mean?" asked Tara.
"I have no idea," Josh replied as he flipped through the pages he decided to read a bit of it, "SALVE ALECROTO MASIMA TOMATA ALANITA HIATA YATOA YATOA YATOA."
Suddenly the candles they were holding began to flicker out and a clod air rushed around them. Tara held Josh and both of them ran out still holding the book.
Felix and Monique were gazing at the china and the silver ware. Felix saw a glint in his girlfriend's eye.
"Oh no you don't," he warned.
"What?!" she asked defensively.
"You want to take some of this stuff with you," he replied.
"I do not! Can't a woman just enjoy the beauty of kitchenware?"
"Only if they look," he warned again.
"I swear sometimes you can be so distrust worthy."
Then a loud crash was heard from behind them. They jumped and looked around for the noise, but were relived when they saw that it was only a dish that fell off the table.
"Phew! For a second there I thought we were hearing ghosts," laughed Felix.
Monique tried to laugh, but she soon screamed when she saw a dark figure hovering over her boyfriend.
At the same time Bonnie and Brick were getting frisky and were already half naked. Bonnie was about to remove her undergarments when she heard foot steps from the hall. They froze thinking it was Josh and Tara looking for them and soon they heard a knock.
Bonnie grabbed Brick's jacket and opened the door just a crack to let her head out.
"What!!" she said irate, but was confused when there was no one there.
"Who was it?" Brick asked as she closed the door.
"No one; I guess it was our imagination."
"Then get over here you minx," he beckoned.
Bonnie made her way back to his arms and they were at it again, but then the knock came again. This time Brick got up and opened the door not bothering to cover up.
Once again the hall way was empty. He slammed the door and went back to Bonnie who was licking her lips.
As soon as he got to the bed the knocking started again, but this time they just ignored it. Then they heard Josh and Tara's frantic voices coming from the door. They quickly opened it and saw the almost white faces of the two teens, but it wasn't the incident at the library; it was seeing the other two in underwear.
"What's wrong?" asked Bonnie seeing the fear in Tara's eyes.
"The candles were blown out and Josh and I were hearing sounds and… and we just ran looking for you," she was in a panic.
Josh wasn't so frightened, but admitted that the wind startled him.
"We should get out of here," said Bonnie. After everyone was dressed they left the room and made their way downstairs.
Along the way they ran into Felix and Monique who were worked up as well.
"What's wrong with you two?" asked Brick.
"Something tried to attack us in the dining room," Monique replied.
"Yeah she screamed and when I turned around a black figure was hovering over me; it nearly knocked me out of my wheelchair," Felix added.
"I think it's time to go we need to find Ron and Kim; just then they came running at the group and started screaming, "RUN RUN RUN!!!"
No one hesitated and soon all eight of them were out the door, in the cars, and speeding home.
When everyone calmed down they each told their own story, Josh and Tara told of the wind and the book they found; that they still had. Felix and Monique talked about the dish falling and the black figure; and Bonnie and Brick talked about the mysterious knocking after hearing that Josh and Tara didn't knock the first two times.
Kim and Ron were the only ones with a story.
"Ron and I had found the secret staircase that led to this dark and damp chamber that smelled terrible," Kim explained.
"Then we saw what looked to be a child, but we thought it was our minds playing tricks on us," Ron continued.
"That was until the figure talk in a small female voice, but what it said is what made us run," said Kim, "It said it was hungry and after remembering the story we didn't wait to see what it ate."
"That was too real for me," said Ron, "I never want to go there again."
"I guess that place really is haunted," stated Bonnie
"At least they can't get us anymore; as long as we stay away from that mansion," said Felix.
"I'm tired so let's head home and never speak of this again okay?" asked Tara.
Everyone nodded and drove to their separate homes hoping to forget the fear of that place; if only they knew of what really was going on. Cont…
Well that was a fine first chapter to a great story; I'm getting in the Halloween mood. Please review!!! KingOAnime
