Author's Note: Here's Chapter two, of 'I Swear It's True!'. Once again, I don't own Watchmen, so please don't sue. I'm just a fan of the Graphic Novel, and the movie.
I Swear It's True! Chapter Two!
"Ok, you know that one place, the old abandoned warehouse, that's where I was. Rita dared me to go in there and stay the night. That's where I was last Saturday, Mary. Anyways, I was climbing up this ladder that was on the outside, because the door leading into it was locked, and there was a window up there that I figured I could break. I was so scared, the ladder kept shaking every time I climbed higher. I didn't want Rita to make fun of me, so I kept going. I was almost at the window, I grabbed the ledge, and the ladder crumbled into rusted dust right under me! I was totally hanging there by my hands." My slumber party was getting a lot less sucky after my idea to tell stories. We all were giving Cindy our attention, but Linda was nearly hypnotized, she even stopped crunching that stupid popcorn in her mouth.
"I had no idea what to do, except hold on as hard as I could, but my palms were sweating, and I was slipping. I closed my eyes, and fell straight down, I didn't want to see my blood splattered everywhere, ya know? But, before I became ketchup, someone caught me. When I opened my eyes, I thought I must have hit my head pretty badly, because Ozymandias had saved me! He set me down on the ground and smiled. 'Don't worry, you're ok. What were you doing up there, anyways?' he asked me, and I told him everything. He said that I didn't need to do something stupid just for attention. Then he left." Cindy ended it way to quickly.
"Cindy, that was terrible. You gotta build up suspense more, and that couldn't have been all. So he caught you, told you to not do that again, and let you go, geeze, this is real life, not some comic book." Cindy looked like she was about to cry, but it was her fault for letting the story end that way. "Can't any of you tell something believeable?"
"But it's true, he really did save me, and then he told me it was dumb, so he left, and then I did." Cindy is the worst liar out of all of us, everyone lies sometimes, but she couldn't stop lying, and badly, too.
"Um, maybe I can tell a story, Ashley. I really did meet one of them. It's pretty good, too." Linda spoke up, her voice hurt my ears, it was so high-pitched and sounded like a bird, a horrible, ugly bird.
"Fine, go ahead and tell your story, and it better be good. I'm sick of horribly stupid ones, with weak endings." I gave Cindy a mean look, and she turned and faced the television, it wasn't even on, the moron.
"Oh, it's good, at least, I think it is. Gather around, everyone, and listen to my tale." We were all taken by suprise, I had never heard that girl with such excitement in her voice. We huddled closer to her, and listened as best as we could.
Author's Note: Well, that was chapter two. Chapter three is coming along soon.
