The Woods

Chapter 1

Gabriella walked into the cabin with Troy, she smiled and looked at the wilderness behind her. "So where's the lake?"

"I think if you just walk down that trail you'll be there in no time." he smiled at her.

The gang, Sharpay Evans, Zeke Baylor, Chad Danforth, Taylor Mckessie, Kelsi Nielson, Jason Cross, Ryan Evans, Gabriella Montez, and Troy Bolton, were hanging out, it was their summer break before they all went to college so they all decided to take a week vacation with eachother. The cabin was a perfect spot for just about everything. It was in the middle of the wilderness but there was a lake, shopping within a mile, and the cabin had a jacuzzi, a pool, a piano and a basketball court. Perfect for everyone. Everyone had driven together but Gabriella and Troy led the pack to the cabin.

"I hate the wilderness, but this place is amazing!" Sharpay smiled and squealed.

"There are only 3 houses out here, is this place like private owned?" Kelsi asked.

"Yeah Troy, how did you get us this?" Chad asked.

"I have my ways!" he said smiling. He unlocked the door and everyone walked in. "Since I got this place, me and Gabi get the master bedroom!"

"What!" Ryan said. "I should get it!"

"No, me and Gabi deserve that private jacuzzi in there." Troy smiled.

"Fine!" everyone groaned. He smiled and pulled Gabriella to the only room on the third floor. Everyone else rushed and picked out their rooms. Ryan being the only single in their gang he got the smallest room on the first floor. After everyone changed into their pajamas, Zeke started cooking Alfredo for dinner, while everyone else was in the livingroom talking.

Have you guys ever heard of the legend of the woods?" Chad asked them smirking.

"Those legends are fake!" Taylor exclaimed hitting her boyfriend.

"But no? They're very much real!" Chad said.

"Chad, you have to stop believing everything you hear!"

"A girl and her mother were walking in these woods." he smiled ignoring her. "The girl was about 10, the mother was maybe in her early 30s."

"Chad, come on-I mean you got it off Facebook! It's not true!" Taylor argued.

"Just let him tell the story!" Sharpay said and Taylor pouted.

"The mother never wanted a child, so she'd decided when the time was right...she'd kill her own daughter. The mother was singing Ring around the rosie while the 10 year old just looked at her mother. The mother and her daughter stopped walking in the middle of the forest. The mother started singing the song again. "Ring around the rosie, pocket full of posie. She slowly brought out a knife as she continued singing. Ashes, ashes we all, fall down! The she stabbed her daughter in the stomach! A few days later the mother was found dead, and no one knew what happened. Now they say if you stay at the cabin closets to the woods you'll hear the daughter singing Ring around the Rosie, and she'll KILL YOU!" he yelled. And all the girls except Taylor screamed.

"You guys can't possibly believe that, can you?" Taylor said scoffing.

"Um, Troy can you leave a light on tonight. I'm actually kind of scared." Gabriella said and Troy smirked. He scooped Gabriella up from the ground and put her in his lap.

"Don't worry beautiful, I promise I won't let anything happen to you. I love you babe." Troy said before kissing her and Chad groaned.

"Oh gosh, here he goes again playing Gabi's hero!"

"Chad, why won't you do that for me?" Taylor snapped.

"You don't need a hero when you have me." he said smirking at his girlfriend.

"Damnit, I want both!" Taylor exclaimed. Chad started whining which led to them starting to bicker over nothing basically?
"Um, I'm going to go check on Zeke with dinner?" Sharpay said.

"Me too!" Gabriella said.

"Uh, us too!" Kelsi replied for Jason and herself.

"You can't leave me with them, Gabi!" Troy said and got up. The five of them went into the kitchen and saw Ryan drinking something.

"Whats going on?" he asked them and let out a breath. Sharpay went over to her brother.

"Chad and Taylor are arguing, over how Taylor wants a hero and Chad or some shit like that!" she exclaimed looking at twin who nodded.

"Well Bon Apetit! Dinner is served!" Zeke smiled everyone got some and started eating.

"I knew I made a good choice by dating you!" Sharpay smiled. "You're such a good cook, it's such a turn on!" she moaned.

"Well if you get down and dirty." Chad said smirking. "Be a little quiet, I actually sleep at night."

"Why are you telling us that, tell Gabi that." Sharpay said. "Oooooh Troy! Harder Troy, Ahhhh Troy!" she said mocking Gabriella who hit her.

"I don't sound like that, and I'm not even loud." Gabriella frowned and crossed her arms.

"You're a bit loud, but hey, I like it when you yell!" Troy said and smiled. Gabriella frowned blushing and hit him.

"You guys are so mean!" she said. Everyone continued eating their food until they heard something outside.

"Whats that sound?" Kelsi asked. "Who went outside?"

"No one's outside, maybe it's just a raccoon or something?" Jason said shrugging.

They heard the sound again.

"What is that?" Gabriella asked. "Chad, come on this isn't funny anymore."

They heard it again.

"What are you talking about-"

And again.

"Chad this isn't fucking funny!" Sharpay screamed then it was silent again.

"I didn't do any of that-" Chad started.

"It's fine it's over now." Ryan said and everyone finished eating then he yawned and stretched. "I'm sorry guys, I'm just tired. I'll see you guys in the morning." he smiled.

"Actually, I'm sorta sleep too!" Gabriella said and looked at Troy. "I wanna go to bed."

"Then go." he said.

"Not without you!" she said then pulled his arm upstairs to their room.

"I'm a little tired also, Zeke." Sharpay smiled.

"Goodnight guys." he groaned as he followed Sharpay upstairs.

"I'm gonna do the dishes." Kelsi volunteered.

"I'll help you!" Taylor said. Chad and Jason just looked at eachother for a second before smiling.

"One on one?" Chad said.

"You're on!" Jason said and picked up the ball on the way out of the backdoor.

Ryanwas sleeping soundly until she heard something crash in her bedroom. "Hello? Shar?" he said sleepily. She looked at the clock. 3:32AM. He saw a shadow moving in his room and he froze. That shadow didn't look like his twin sister he knew at all, it didn't have her manicured nails nor did it have her tall height. He reached for the light when a hand stopped him, he looked at the hand it was pale, cold, and sickly.

"Ring around the rosie." a voice said softly.

"Hello! Who's in here!" he yelled looking around his room.

"Pockets full of posie." the voice said again.

"Who are you!" he yelled again.

"Ashes, Ashes." the voice whispered.

"Who are you!" he yelled.

"We all..." she whispered.

"What do you want!" he yelled again angry.

"Fall..." she whispered.

"Forget it." he reached for the lamp.

"Down." she whispered. Ryan turned on the lamp and was met with a pale sickly looking girl with hair as black as night. He screamed as loud as he could.

Sharpay jumped up. "Did you hear that?" she asked Zeke.

"Hear what?"

"It sounded like Ryan!" she gasped and got off the bed and started running down the stairs to her brothers room. She saw the door closed and slowly opened it.

"Ry?" she said. "Ry? You okay?" she saw the lamp by his bed flickering on and off. "Ryan?" she said again. "Ryan?" she walked into the room slowly, looking around for him. She saw him laying in his bed, when she got to his bed she saw his neck broken and realized he was dead. She screamed and started crying. She fell down on the floor and buried her face into the bed and cried as hard as she could. Zeke came into the room and hugged her, she cried into his chest hysterically.

"Baby, it's gonna be okay." Zeke said in her ear. She got up and walked outside and sat on the porch. She heard Zeke, telling everyone what happened then she heard the door open. She turned around and saw Gabriella, Kelsi, and Taylor walk outside.

"Are you okay?" Gabriella said. Sharpay shook her head, and turned away from them. "Guys um, I got it. Just go inside." Gabriella sat down on the porch beside Sharpay and looked at her.

"W-Who w-would do that?" she sniffed and put her head on Gabriella's shoulder.

"I-I don't know.." Gabriella whispered. The Sharpay's eyes widened and she looked at Gabriella. "What?"

"Nevermind." Sharpay shook her head. Then they heard something in the bushes, the both looked up. Gabriella looked at her phone and shook her head.
"No service." she said quietly.

"I'm gonna go inside." Sharpay said, she got up and then looked at the brunette. "You coming?"

"Uh, yeah I'll be inside in a little bit!" Gabriella said. She looked out into the woods before getting up, she started walking to the door until she heard a giggle. She turned around and looked out into the woods then shook her head and went inside.

"Gabi! Are you okay? You were outside for a while!" Sharpay said looking worried.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." she said smiling. Sharpay nodded and slightly smiled. Sharpay was always good at hiding her feelings, like now. When she hid her feelings she was always extra worried, and caring about everyone else. It was weird. Sharpay was weird.

"Um, is anyone hungry or anything? I can warm up some leftovers." Sharpay said. Everyone shook their head. "Well, um I'm just gonna go to sleep." she said and looked at Zeke he followed her up the stairs.

"Me too." Troy said and yawned. "Brie." he said, Gabriella smiled and followed him. Soon enough everyone except Jason was asleep. Jason got up and went into the bathroom. He looked at the shower, it had a glass door on it then he looked at the white toilet, then the porcelean sink, then the mirror in front of him. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. The water in the shower turned on, he looked at the shower. He didn't see anyone throught the glass. He opened the glass door and turned off the shower. He turned to walk out and...

Cliffhanger! What do you guys think happened? He turned to walk out and...what?
