There were two young teenage girls walking around town as it was late October. It would be Halloween soon. As they were walking they ran into a crime scene around a gutter. Peach, the tougher one, stepped over the yellow tape and turned to Cherry, the slightly cowardly and unlucky one.
"You coming, mate?" Peach asked.
"No..." Cherry moaned. "I should stay here... and... umm... yeah... I'll stay and-"
Peach rolled her eyes and grabbed Cherry's arm against her wishes. They walked toward the scene and were stopped by cops.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, sorry kids, nothing to see here." the fat cop said.
"Come on, tell us what happened, my mom's an inspector you know!" Peach snarled.
"Oh yeah? Who's that?" the cop got deep her face.
"Inspector Paula Morell," Peach replied.
The cop's eyes then widened. "You must be Peach! I didn't recognize you!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Peach rolled her eyes. "Now tell me and my mate what's going on here."
"There's been a murder of a little boy seen here last night during that rainstorm," the cop explained. "We just found he fell down in the gutter, but we can't be sure what killed him. His name was Georgie."
"Poor Georgie." Cherry grabbed her throat in worry and fear.
"Georgie, that's a cute name for a littl'un," Peach giggled, then frowned. "Aw crap! Georgie was the name of one of Ollie's best friends!"
"I'm sorry, Peach." Cherry said sympathetically.
"No, I hated that bugger, he and Ollie caused nothing but trouble!" Peach looked back at her.
"You two should stay inside, this could get dangerous." the cop advised.
"We should go to my place anyway," Cherry said. "Mom ordered Chinese and we got plenty of egg fried rice."
"You know me so well." Peach laughed as she rushed home with Cherry.
Cherry and Peach were at Cherry's house. Michelle served them their takeout dinner as she ate from her own plate and Bud did his. Before they ate, Michelle noticed dirt on Cherry's hands.
"Cherry, you better wash your hands before you eat." Michelle said.
"Aw Mom!" Cherry groaned.
"Listen to your mother, sweetie." Bud added.
"Okay, I'll be right back." Cherry jumped down from the seat and rolled up her jacket sleeves.
"After dinner you guys are welcome to watch a movie together." Michelle smiled at Peach.
"Thanks Michelle, I'd like that." Peach smiled as she ate her egg fried rice.
Cherry was in her private bathroom. She started got the soap out and was about to start the sink. She turned it on but instead of water, blood came out much to her shock. Her eyes widened as she stopped it and rubbed her eyes. She wondered if her mind had been playing tricks on her. Cherry looked all around and waited a moment before she went to start the sink again. Cherry closed her eyes as she turned it back on and opened her eyes to see blood once again.
She backed away from the sink and a big round red sphere rose up from the drain which made her feel even more panicked. It grew bigger and bigger and splattered all around and there was blood splattered in the sink as it kept running.
"MOM! DAD! PEACH!" Cherry cried with great fear as the sink ran the crimson liquid. "MOM! DAD!"
The sink then stopped itself as Bud and Michelle rushed in with Peach. They didn't even bother to knock on the bedroom door and rushed over to Cherry. They saw her holed up in a corner of her bedroom as she was quaking with obvious fear.
"Sweetie, what's wrong?" Michelle asked with sympathy.
"M-M-M... Bl-Bl-Bl...Guhhh..." Cherry stammered as she shivered and shook.
"What's wrong?" Bud echoed his wife.
"B-B-Blood in the sink!" Cherry shrieked.
"COOL!" Peach was excited and turned on the sink. She then grew disappointed as there was only water.
"See Peach?" Cherry looked away with tears of fear streaming down her face. "There's..."
"Water." Peach replied.
"What?" Cherry looked back.
"It's just water, mate." Peach told her as she showed the water running down.
"It's only water, Cherry hon." Michelle said as she picked up her daughter on to her feet on the floor. "Did you fall asleep watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show again?"
Cherry shook her head. "I swear, I saw blood in that sink!"
"Peach, I think you should go home now, Cherry must be sick." Michelle advised.
"I'll message you tomorrow, mate." Peach walked off to go home as Bud and Michelle put Cherry to sleep.
"You're probably stressed about school, we'll go to the library tomorrow to stock up for a book report, okay?" Michelle said as she turned out the bedroom light. "Good night, sweetie."
"Night Mom..." Cherry whimpered as she fell asleep.
