CHAPTER 8
By the time Wednesday came around the whole school was covered in Halloween decorations. Emma is the school's student president so that's why she is in charge of everything Ashley and I were sitting in the lunch room eating our lunches "Hey girls do you like the decorations?" Emma says form behind us that made me jump. "So what are you girls for Halloween?"
"I am a pirate!"
"I am a devil" I growl
"Cool costumes girls I am a vampire"
"I told Ashley that she should be a werewolf, but she turned the idea down"
"Why be a werewolf for the rest of Halloween when you will be one for the rest of your life" Emma is rubbing Ashley's back. Emma does have a point.
"On Saturday is Halloween and it is the full moon" I noted out loud.
"Please don't remind me, I don't want to think about wolfing out" Ashley sighs.
"Emma and I will both be by your side no matter what happens" I grab her hand and give it a squeeze.
"I promise Ashley you're like our sister" Emma shows the promise in her eyes.
"Emma we need to finish getting the gym ready" Sara was half out of breath she must have been running all over the school looking for Emma.
"I will be right there" Emma smiles sweetly "I am going to your house after school to change Ok? ok"
"Ok then" I say surprised, but not completely it sounds like Emma to make plans like that.
The bell rings and it was time for class, I head to my locker to get my books for chemistry. I walk upstairs to my chemistry class room. I do not want to want to be in class with the physio killing werewolf. I took a deep breath and counted to ten before I entered the horrid class room. But when I walked in the room smelled different it smelled like pumpkin spice it never smelled so nice I walked over to my desk hesitantly.
"We have a new teacher!" Ashley squeals. Ashley got to class before me she had her class books in her backpack and she had hot lunch.
"Why not that I am happy we got rid of the wolf lady"
Our conversation became a whisper our teacher stood up from her desk I did not see her when I walked in. Then again I wasn't really looking for her.
"Class I am Mrs. Meyers but you can call me Jennifer, your last teacher quit because of some issues she had" She had a very cheery attitude. "Who is ready for chemistry?"
"Jennifer" has reddish brown hair and kind brown eyes and some very white teeth, her pink glasses hung around her neck on a lanyard that was made out of beads that were the same color as her classes. She was wearing a black skirt the looked a little tight and were black and she was wearing a white button up blouse. The rest of the class I looked around the room. When the class was over Ashley and Emma came to my house to change into their costumes.
When we got home Chase was on the love seat watching a Halloween movie on ABC. It was about three witch sisters that were coming back from the dead because of some kids. It looked good I wanted to watch it but I had to get changed into my devil costume. When I got to my room Emma was already changing in my bathroom and Ashley had scattered her makeup scattered in front of my long mirror. I could tell that it was going to take a while before I could either change or do my makeup and hair. I know what you're thinking why not change in my mom's bathroom? And do my makeup in there as well. Here are your answers my costume is hanging up in my bathroom. My mom takes her makeup stuff whenever she leaves town and she takes all of it. She never leaves town without the essentials. So I went down stairs to watch TV with my old buddy Chase.
"Hey Chase" I smile sweetly at him. I slide down on the couch next to him.
"Hey this movie is so… I can't quite describe it"
"Childish? Anyway what did you do today? Any new bodies? Or clues?"
"HA! Childish, it's not childish it's just not for my age group. No new bodies or clues, but that doesn't mean I am going to stop looking. How was your day? Anything interesting happen?"
"Age group? Whatever you say. I didn't think so but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Yes, something very interesting did in fact happen, Mrs. Olson our chemistry teacher, who Emma Ashley and I think is a werewolf in Daniels rouge pack. She quit working at the school. the only thing our new teacher say was she quit because of some issues"
"Issues? What kind of issues? ... Are you excited for the haunted house today? And the bonfire on Friday? On Saturday it's the big day its Halloween"
"She didn't say what the issues were… I guess I am ready for the haunted house Emma worked so hard on, and as for the bonfire I don't think I will I don't like to get drunk by a fire and be burned alive while laughing about being barbecued alive, no thank you count me out and besides I have a lot to do before Saturday. Saturday is the day Ashley transforms into…well…a…werewolf" I whispered a werewolf.
"I am going to the bonfire but not to drink or party with Emma even though she invited me to. I am going to make sure people don't drink too much and don't hurt each other. I got you girls some stuff for when Ashley you know…changes." Chase stands up from the love seat "I am glad to hear that you don't like to drink"
Chases disappears into the spare bedroom. When he finally does come back to the living room he has a big black duffle bag. Chase sets the duffle bag on the floor in front of my feet, he unzips the bag and inside the bag are thick heavy silver chains and some handcuffs but not the police kid they are thicker and in the back of the bag was a medical kit.
"What is in the kit?" I point to the kit.
"Tranquilizers I read somewhere that when a werewolf first few turns silver chins and tranquilizers weaken them and they help them from hurting themselves or other people during the transformation"
"Thanks for getting the stuff, do you want us to shoot Ashley?"
"Shoot her? Are you NUTS!? I would never shoot her, they are just in case we need them. Shouldn't you be getting in to your costume?"
"We? So you believe in the supernatural now? I knew you wouldn't have, but the look on your face was priceless. Even if you were planning on shooting her I would make sure you didn't even get in range to shoot her. I should be changing but my friends are changing and they are taking forever"
"Look I don't believe in the supernatural world but if she really is going to transform than I need to see it and I want to protect you any way I can, but as of right now I think you kids are letting nonsense get to your mind and I wish you girls would stop, but I know that won't happen so I must be with you"
I was about to say something but I was cut off "SKYLER ROSE HATHAWAY!" Emma shouts from my room.
Oh god its my turn to be tortured I slowly rise from the loveseat and I walk as slow as a turtle up the stairs. When I get to my room I am shoved into my bathroom. "Hurry get your costume on" Emma shoves me into my bathroom.
I turn slowly around and I see my costume hanging on the shower where I left it, I grabbed my costume off its hanger. When I was done changing I and walked out into my bedroom, the next thing I know I am being shoved to the floor in front of Ashley. Ashley was in her costume her costume had a red and white stripped top that was ruffles and a leather belt around her waist (the belt was made with fake leather the leather that comes with costumes) the bottom of the dress was black with rips at the bottom, Ashley's hair was curled and she had a red and white stripped bandana around her head, her eyeliner wings were huge and her Smokey eye has some silver sparkles in it her lips were bright red.
Ashley started to do my makeup and Emma was doing my hair so I would be done sooner.
"So what were you and handsome down there talking about?" Emma was supposed to be a vampire but she didn't look like one. She wore a purple dress that showed a little too much at the top. Well it showed a lot in my opinion. The dress stopped above her knees. She wore a black wig that looked real it actually looked like she dyed her hair black. Her makeup included a lot of black and purple. Her lips were a dark purple color.
"Nothing really"
"Nothing really? It sounded important chains and tranquilizers"
"Oh right about that…" I trailed off.
Ashley moved out of the way of the mirror so I could see my makeover. I look nothing like me I look like a different person. My eye shadow had some red with some black out lining the red, my eyes were outlined in black eyeliner, and my mascara looked really different.
"Here put this color on" Emma hands me black tub. I opened the tub to reveal a dark blood red lip gloss. "Done"
I looked up from the tub to see my hair. it was wavy but it was beautiful. If I had the time to do my hair before school…or ever… I would do this style. Emma let my side bangs fall in front of my left eye, she grabbed the ends and lifted them up a little so they were out of my eye but still in my face and pinned it up with some black bobby pins then went crazy with the hair spray. One she was done going crazy she put my devil horns on.
I looked around the room Ashley was on my bed zipping up her knee high boots that had a lot of heel. If I walked in those I would break a bone or two. Emma was getting her flats on.
"Skyler do you have shoes to wear?" Emma opened my closet door "Thank god" Emma sounded relived she pulled out a pair of boots that looked like Ashley's. I had never worn those so I don't know why I got them, in fact I forgot I had them.
"I can't wear those" I shoot Emma a worried look from the mirror.
"You'll be fine" Emma tries to reassure me "What size are they?"
"Six"
"They are my size I will wear these and you can wear my flats" Emma slips her flats off her feet and hands them to me before she sits on the bed next to Ashley to put the boots on. I slip the flats on. We walk down stairs one in front of the other Ashley in front Emma in the middle and me in the back.
"WOW! You girls look great" Chase gives us the big thumbs up. Emma blushes. She really likes him, I mean it's so obvious. We climbed into Emma's red Toyota highlander. I climbed into the seat next to driver's seat, leaving no room for Ashley to sit in the front making her climb into the back seat.
