Well, Fright Night. Wow. I had to. Jerry's just like*Faint*. Colin Farrell plays him really well. David Tennant's cool as Peter, too.
So the lowdown on this story is:
Lucy Brewster is terminally ill. She's finally been released from hospital after two years of tests. Everything is great until the new neighbour meets her, and he definitley dislikes how much she knows about vampires...
Disclaimer: Unfortunatley, I don't own Fright Night. But I own Lucy and Nathaniel!
She coughed as her lungs sucked in the fresh air gratefully. She was excited to be leaving the hospital. She'd be able to see her mom, and Charlie, and his new girlfriend. Amy, was it? She grinned. Man, she couldn't wait to tease him about that.
The truth was, Lucy hadn't seen her family for over half a year. During one of their visits, an attack had happened, and Lucy had been kept inside since. It was great feeling the sun on her face, and a soft breeze ruffling her brown hair.
She adjusted her bag strap that was situated on her shoulder and across her chest as she followed the nurse through the labyrinth of cars known as a parking lot. She smiled as she climbed into her car- it had been 2 years since she'd been behind the wheel, but she couldn't wait to get the roof down and feel the heat of the Nevada desert hitting her in the face. But most of all, she couldn't wait to see the look of surprise on her mother and brother's face as she turned into her old street.
She sighed in relief as her keys turned smoothly in the ignition, and her car burst to life. Bidding farewell to the nurse, she peeled away from the hospital, hoping to never go there again. The car purred in stisfaction while Lucy drove home. It was about time it had some love and care.
Lucy's nerves began to rise as she approacher the estate that was her home. She stopped and parked on the corner of her street, pulling out her cellphone that Charlie had bought her. She smiled. He saved up all year for that thing. The dialling tone reached her ears, and the familiar voice of Jane, her mother, answered.
"Hello?" her mother asked cautiously to the foreign number.
"Hey, mom." Lucy said. She heard her mother gasp on the other end of the phone.
"Lucy! Oh my goodness! You're allowed to have calls! Can you have visits, are you okay?" her mother shouted. Lucy held the phone away from her ear, trying to stifle a laugh. After her mother finished ranting, she held the phone against her ear, relaxed against the leather seat of her car and stared at her house, "Yeah, I'm okay, mom. I'm not allowed visits, though. Oh, I have to go. Sorry, mom, I've got a really important place to get to. I'll call you back soon! Love you!" Lucy said. Lucy heard her mom start to waffle down the phone, and she deliberatley hung up, smiling. She started the engine of the car again and pulled forward slowly to park in front of her home. She grabbed her bag and climbed out of the car, walking slowly to the door.
Her hand shook slightly as she pressed the button for the bell, and the familiar ring on the other side of the door made her get goosebumps a little.
"Charlie! Get the door!" She heard mom call.
"Okay! Okay!" She heard him yell in response. A few seconds later, the door flew open revealing Lucy's older twin brother. She grinned. He stared.
Then all hell broke loose.
Charlie grinned, the gasped.
"LUCY!" he yelled, grabbing her into a bone-crushing hug. He let go, his face bright red and beaming. "MOM! YOU GOTTA SEE THIS! HURRY!" He yelled. Lucy heard her mom walking unhappily down the stairs.
"What's all this racket abo-" she stopped short when she saw her.
"Hi, mom." She offered with a slight wave.
"Lucy!" her mom gasped, and flung herself at Lucy's small frame. She smiled, and hugged her mom harder when she heard her sobbing into her shoulder. By this point, Charlie had been dragged into the hug and neigbours gathered to see what the racket was all about. After all, the door was wide open.
There were faint gasps of 'Lucy!' and 'It can't be! She looks so grown up!' from the congregation of people outside.
Lucy grinned as her mom shut the door to the world of nosy neighbours outside and ushered her in, sending Charlie back out to get her stuff. She laughed as her mom told her about Charlie's bike and girlfriend (Charlie arriving at that exact time to deny everything) and the new neighbour.
Lucy grimaced slightly when her mom told her that Charlie wasn't friends with Ed and Adam anymore. Charlie only looked down in shame.
"Well, I'll be starting school tomorrow, anyway." She declared, standing up, "And you're not gonna stop me!"
Her mom smiled, happy to have her daughter back. But a frown worked itself upon her face when she remembered that it wouldn't last long.
After all, nobody was immortal, were they?
