Chapter Four:
Isabelle's father, Bill is now getting ready to leave for his business trip. He's heading to New York to discuss a partnership with a high-rising company. He was standing in front of his mirror adjusting his tie on his suit.
There was then a frantic knock at his front door, followed by the barking of his dog. Confused by this, since he wasn't expecting anyone to come by he headed towards the front door with confusion. He walked into the living room as he passed by the family dog, Shadow who was sitting on the baby blue couch barking at the door.
"Hello! Bill Perkins, are you there?" A woman's voice asked aloud along with the frantic knocking.
"Who is it?" Bill asked as he stepped in front of the door.
"I need to talk to you!" The woman responded "It's important!"
"Who are you?" Bill asked again with an irritated sigh.
"Please, let me in" The woman insisted "It's about your daughter, Isabelle!"
Bill gasped as he opened the door slightly to see the woman. She was african american with short curly hair and looked to be in her late forties, early fifties. She had a worried expression on her face as she looked at Bill through the small opening.
"Please, let me in" she stated, practically pleading with him.
Bill closed the door for a second before he undid the chain lock and opened the door to let her in. She walked right inside and closed the door behind her as she stood in front of Bill.
"How do you know my daughter?" Bill demanded "Who are you?"
Jezelle swallowed hard "Your daughter could be in danger, Bill"
Bill gasped "What kind of danger? Why is she in danger?"
"Where is she right now?" Jezelle asked, avioding the questions.
"She's not here" Bill told her "She's on a school trip for a few weeks"
Jezelle's eyes widden in shock "Then we need to get to her now" She was about to head out the door when Bill stopped her.
"Wait just a damn minute" Bill said as he stood in front of her, preventing her from leaving "How the hell do you know who I am, who my daughter is and what makes you think she's in danger? Who the hell are you?"
Jezelle sighed heavily, knowing she couldn't aviod this forever "My name is Jezelle, I can't explain too much right now, but..."
"Hold on a minute" Bill intrupted her as he put his hand up "Your Jezelle? The crazy pysic lady my wife used to talk about?"
She just stood there with a frozen look on her face, not sure how to answer him, but her silence confirmed his suspicion about her.
"Oh, my God" Bill ran his hand over the length of hs face. He didn't want to deal with this woman right now, it's bad enough that she contributed to the reason why his wife is in a pysicatric hospital. Now, she comes barreling into his house stating that his daughter is supposedly in danger, he can't deal with any of this right now.
"You know what, get the hell out of my house" Bill told her firmly "I can't deal with this right now, get out"
"But you don't understand!" Jezelle protested as Bill was shoving her out the door.
"I understand perfectly, lady" Bill stated angerily "My wife is a mess right now with you being the reason why and now your trying to mess up me and my daughter"
"Your daughter..." Jezelle began as Bill shoved her out onto his front porch "Has a mark of a black pointed cross with red roses on her back"
That made Bill stop in his tracks. How did she know that? Isabelle has always done a good job of hiding her mark from people, including her friends. How did this woman know about that mark? These thoughts were running through Bill's head as he stared at Jezelle for a minute.
"How did you know that?" Bill asked her, his tone soft.
"I saw it" She answered softly "In a dream. The mark... is on her back... right below her neck. She's had since she was a baby, hasn't she?"
Bill nodded his head "Yes, ever since she was a baby. My wife and I didn't know how that was possible"
"She looks exactly like you, your daughter" Jezelle began "Pale skin, blue eyes, black hair. The only things she retains from Trisha is her beauty and her fighting spirit" Bill looked in wonder at her, can't believing that she knows all this.
"When she was a child, you always said that Isabelle was strong, like her mother...a fighter" Jezelle stated "Bill, the same thing that killed Trisha's brother is now after your daughter"
Bill's eyes widened "...What?"
The morning sun was now fully in the sky as it shimmered across the lake below. A few geese had flown by while honking as they headed to the other side of the lake. They landed in the water, creating ripples to form around them causing to travel across the lake making the shimmers from the sun dance on the lake.
The students and the teachers were now all up and about doing their own things. Some of the boys were playing football, the cheerleaders consisting of Taylor, Stacie and a few other girls from the squad were planing to go swimming along with a few other boys. The teachers and a few other students were sitting around the now put out camp fire just talking amongst themselves. Two of the students were Lili and Kristen who were just talking to each other about random things, they had noticed that Isabelle wasn't in the tent with them when they woke up this morning. They had figured that since her Ipod and cell phone were gone that she had gone out for one of her early morning walks, but that was two hours ago and she hadn't come back yet.
Kristen had a look of worry on her face as she looked off towards the woods, hoping to see Isabelle coming down the trail. She was starting to get worried for her friend since she's been gone for the past tow hours. They tried calling her on her cell phone, but there's no service out where they were. Kristen was hoping that any minute now, Isabelle would be coming down back to the camp and she would run up to her and lecture her about worrying her and Lili sick.
"Belle's been gone a long time, Lil" Kristen stated as Lili pulled out her headphones and looked over at her blonde friend.
"I know, she's usually back by now" Lili said as she put her Ipod away "Do you wanna go look for her?"
Kristen nodded her head "It would make me feel better to know if she was okay or not"
"Okay, let's get going then" Lili said as she stood up, but stopped when she heard and saw someone running towards the camp "What the hell?"
Miguel was running wild as he sprinted towards the camp, his feet barely touched the ground because he was running so fast. He was running like he just saw the devil himself and was hot on his heels behind him.
"Hey! Help! Hey!" Miguel yelled, getting everyone's attention as they all looked in his direction.
"Miguel?" Julian questioned as he ran over to his cousin along the teachers and some of the other students including Lili and Kristen.
Miguel stopped in his tracks, shaking and breathing heavily as Julian stood in front of him "Miguel, what happened man? What's wrong?"
His eyes were wide with terror, covered in sweat and his face was almost pale white as he stared at Julian trying to speak "S-Something... J-Jesse... T-Tony...K-Killed... don't know what... c-came down"
"What happened to Jesse and Anthony, Miguel?" Ms. Rosa asked him, standing next to Julian.
"S-something came down and... k-killed them" Miguel replied, his voice shaking.
"What?" Julian questioned as the rest of the students looked at each other nervously.
"You're not making much sense, Miguel" Ms. Rosa said as she placed her hands on his shoulders "What attacked Jesse and Anthony?"
"I-I don't know what it was, b-but it was strong, real strong and it had these... huge fucking wings!" Miguel exclaimed.
"Was it some kind of animal?" Ms. Rosa asked, not sure if she believed him.
"This wasn't no fucking animal!" Miguel yelled as he moved her hands off his shoulders "This thing was strong enough to lift people off the fucking ground and it snapped Jesse's neck like it was a tooth pick!"
The students were starting to freak out as they began to mutter to themselves and to each other nervously. They looked at each other and around them, obviously scared of what Miguel was saying.
"I don't even know what happened to Sophie and that other girl" Miguel stated.
"Sophie?" Julian asked worriedly as he pushed past Ms. Rosa "Why were you with her?"
"And what other girl?" Lili asked as she and Kristen pushed their way through the crowd and stood next to Julian.
"Your friend, the girl with the black hair" Miguel told them.
"Isabelle?" Kristen asked, shocked "What was she doing with you guys and Sophie?"
Miguel swallowed hard, not sure if he should say anything. After all, it wasn't his idea to gang up on Isabelle or anything, it was Sophie's. All she did was talk him and Anthony into it, Jesse just came along for the fun of it.
"Miguel!" Julian shouted at him, causing him to snap his head up at Julian "Answer her question"
Miguel sighed "Sophie wanted to get some payback on Isabelle for crossing her last night. She had talked me and Tony into helping her, but Jesse just came along for the fun"
"What?!" Lili shouted, obviously pissed off "You mean that fire-crotch bitch decided to gang up on my best friend just because Isabelle told her off?"
"And you just left her out there?" Kristen chimed in with worry layered in her voice "With whatever this thing is you were talking is out here somewhere?"
"Along with Sophie?" Julian questioned, clearly angry "What were you thinking?"
"I was scared, okay?" Miguel defended himself "I panicked, I didn't know what to do so I just ran"
Lili ran a hand through her hair and just shook her head before she walked past Miguel and heading towards the woods.
"Lili, where are you going?" Ms. Rosa asked her.
Lili turned around to face her "Isabelle is my best friend and right now she's out alone in these woods with a monster so I'm going after her"
"Lili, it's too dangerous" Ms. Rosa stated "You can't go in there alone, especially with this thing that Miguel saw"
"She's not going alone" Kristen stated as she walked over to Lili and stood next to her "I'm going, too" she looked over at Lili and they both smiled at each other before looking back at the crowd "Isabelle has been our best friend since we were kids, we'd do anything to save her and we know that she would do the same for us"
"We're going and you can't stop us" Lili stated defiantly.
Ms. Rosa sighed, knowing that she can't change their minds "Be careful"
Lili and Kristen nodded their heads in response as they headed off into the woods to find their best friend.
Let me know what you thought :)
