This Halloween… 13 Teenagers will be in for the fright of their lives…
"Yeah right, you and what army you freaky sounding… freak?" Andy taunted suddenly. No sooner after those words escaped his mouth, the lights suddenly went out. The whole room was blanketed in a thick veil of darkness. Before anyone could say anything, a bloodcurdling scream pierced the night from right in that very room. When it stopped, the lights still didn't come back on, creating a tense silence.
Some of them won't make it…
"Thank god you guys are here!" Ling exclaimed, hugging Jen. Kelly and Chad just smiled, happy to see she was still alive. Shawn looked away, moving behind Chad to try and hide himself from view. Derek and Brian just looked at each other, sighed, and relaxed.
"Urgh, noo!"
SQUISH!
The quiet cry went unheard, but the splat of human flesh caught the teens' attentions. All of them were horrified to see that Percy now lie on the ground dead. Another suit of armor had been brought to life, and crushed Percy's chest with its metal shoe. Ling let out a panicked yell.
"PEEERCYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
Some of them will rise…
Chad could see the entity about to kill Ling. His first instinct was to look away and drown out the sounds of horror that would follow. But Chad was tired of running and hiding, he realized. The flamboyant teen looked directly at his friend, and time seemed to stop in that moment.
Her face was frozen in a scream, the evil man about to slash at her chest with his makeshift claws. Taking a deep breath and clearing the fear in his mind and heart, Chad charged forward and leapt between the entity and Ling.
One will betray them…
Shawn saw the door to the wardrobe room open, thinking the horror over. He didn't care what that voice thought of him, he did what he had to do to survive. The entity even said how much alike they were, so it must've understood.
"Yeah, that's what I'm talking 'bout bitch," he exclaimed, thrusting his chest forward as he started to leave. The black teen never even noticed behind him that a small army of coat hangers were gathering behind him. Suddenly, they all shot forward hook first, ready to claim the next victim.
A friendship will be tested…
"What? So you don't want him to come, is that it?" Christy interrupted, obviously a little irked at her friend's reaction.
"He's your… friend or whatever he is to you, not ours!"
"Oh I'm sorry, God forbid I should try and bring in a new member to our group!"
"More like force him into our lives!"
"How do you want me to bring him in? By asking each one of you 'hey, is this guy worthy enough for you?' Because that is some bull-shit!"
"You-"
"Guys, knock it off!" Ling shouted, trying to stop the two best friends' fighting. Christy turned away, and let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Rose, with an unreadable look on her face, just stared at her while she did.
Love will blossom between two of them…
Zeke finished his story with a hard look on his face. Christy finally understood why his green eyes were always so murky and lifeless; and after what she had also learned about her own past, the teen realized that she could sympathize with his pain.
But what mattered most to her at that moment was her epiphany: the reason she had taken an interest in the loner this past month, why she had taken a stand against the jorcks for him, and why she just constantly wanted to be around him.
And if there ever was a time for her to admit these feelings to Zeke, she thought, the time was now, before it was too late for either of them.
And an old mystery… will finally be solved…
"The key is the Portalgeist! Take it with you, and stop this man from ending the life of that innocent child; he will stop at nothing to take her life. This is all I have to relay to whoever discovers this message; don't let my memory be carried on; I want myself and my inventions to disappear from the pages of history for all eternity. For that reason, I request you destroy this recount and the Portalgeist once you defeat that entity. Let this be the final will and testament that I, Professor Ferdinand von Zeppelin, ever leave behind."
The hologram of the old professor dissipated, and Rose let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Behind the device that held the last will of the professor, she saw a skeleton holding an intricately designed box, with circuits visible along the side.
Rose deduced that this was what was left of the professor, and just stared at his bones for a short while. She had just listened to this man's last will and testament, albeit from a hologram of an alive and well old man; to see what he had been reduced to was a heavy weight on her mind, but Rose knew she had to hurry and end this horror before any more lives were lost.
There is no trick-or-treating here…
Zeke stood his ground, looking around him. Kelly, Ling, Rose, and even Jen lay in defeat all across the foyer of the dark mansion. The four still drew breath, but they were still in danger if he fell here. Christy and Lily were the only others still conscious, but Christy had to recover from the last powerful blow she had taken and Lily was tending to her wounds.
"You're a fool," the white-haired man droned. Zeke faced the evil man, not a feeling of fear in his mind or heart; only courage and determination to protect his new friends.
"And you're an asshole."
See who can survive "The Best Worst Halloween"
People who follow me know I said I was gonna get back to writing Total Drama Island: Back to Wawanakwa, and have so far put out 1 chapter . I haven't forgotten about that story guys, I just don't have the same time and motivation I used to (I'm still writing it, just very slowly and with long gaps in between) and I try to have more of a social life, as much as a sometimes socially awkward teenager like myself can manage o_o
I actually starting writing this a little over a year ago, and the characters were based on some people I knew and met. Oddly enough, I don't really see those people much anymore and I may end up tweaking their personalities from what I had originally. So far it is 43 pages in Microsoft Word. I'm not gonna just post everything at once though, I'll post a little every once in a whenever-i-feel-like-it.
The first part will be up later, if I remember.
