Who should I torture next? Ah… Shara Neko is my next victim! HAHAHAHAHA!!
Light stared solemnly at the ground while Hasselberry hovered over him.
"You know I outta report you to Chazz for this," Hasselberry growled. Light looked up, his eyes showing no fear.
"I did what I thought was right, there was a girl in trouble!" he countered. Hasselberry sighed.
"I'll let you off this time with only a warning. Next time, ask before you take any Day Class students with you!"
Shara slid her cards apart so that she could look at them all.
"Ah, with you guys, I'll never lose!" she spoke to them. She grinned at her cards and put them back in their case. Shara stood up and faced the doorway, only to find Jaden there.
"Ah!" she shouted in surprise. "Jaden! You startled me."
"Sorry," he replied. "Talking to your cards again?" Shara blushed.
"Uh… sorta?"
"Hey, we're having a movie marathon tonight in my room, wanna come?" Jaden asked.
"Um… sure, I got nothing to do," Shara agreed. Jaden smiled.
"Great! Now, I just need to find Alicia, Syrus, and Zane…"
"What is it that you want to show me?" Alicia asked Syrus as they scrambled through the underbrush.
"You'll find out, we're almost there!" Syrus replied happily and proudly. They struggled through the vegetation for another minute or so, before they burst out into a clearing. "Tada!"
Alicia gasped. The clearing was picturesque, with small purple, pink, yellow, and white wildflowers undulating in large clumps. A white, large stone covered in squishy moss rested in the centre and a stream bubbled at the opposite edge. Birds twittered, squirrels chattered, and bees buzzed.
"Sy, it's beautiful!" Alicia exclaimed. He blushed.
"I found it a while ago while exploring," he said as he led Alicia to the stone. She sat down first, closed her eyes, and breathed in the light perfume of the flowers. Syrus sat next to her, and Alicia looked at him. They leaned in closer…
"There you guys are!" They leapt apart. They glanced upwards to find Jaden grinning at them.
"What?" Alicia asked impatiently.
"Movie Madness!" he laughed. "Tonight at my dorm! Wanna come?"
"Sure, I guess, we've got nothing better to do," Syrus shrugged. Alicia agreed quickly, inside hating Jaden for the time being for ruining the moment.
That night, Shara, Jaden, Syrus, Alicia, Leslie, Zane, Emerald and Kris were clumped together in the Slifer dorm cafeteria since Jaden's room was much too small. Luckily, they were able to borrow Professor Banner's TV-on-a-cart and DVD player.
"So, what should we watch first?" Jaden asked the group.
"Monty Python and the Holy Grail!" Kris shouted.
"I Am Legend!" Alicia called.
"The new Transformers!" Emerald yelled.
"Eragon!" Leslie cried.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Jaden bellowed. "One at a time! Shara first!" Shara started, jumping up a bit. Zane, sitting on her left, concealed his laughter with a cough.
"Um… Um… Eight Legged Freaks?" Shara suggested. Jaden smiled at her and popped the disk in and sitting on Shara's other side with a large bowl of popcorn. Kris dimmed and covered the lights in red film.
"Oh no, I'm scared already!" Emerald whined. Kris pulled out a small flashlight and attempted to look scary by shining it under her face.
"Mwahahaha…" Someone crept up behind her and grabbed the flashlight. Kris screamed and everyone laughed as Aster flashed the light on himself.
"Boo." Aster slowly sat down next to Emerald. "I hope you don't mind if I join you."
"Not at all!" Emerald answered. Jaden nodded in approval as the movie's main screen came up.
"Hold on!" Kris interrupted. "I've got no one to hold onto for the scary parts!" Jaden laughed.
"I personally don't think this movie is too scary, but if you want…" Jaden rushed back to his room and came back with a large, stuffed, gray and white dog.
"Ah, you know me well!" Kris squealed, taking the dog. Syrus hit play, and the movie finally started.
As the camera entered the spider-webby lab of the mad scientist, Leslie hugged Zane, who rubbed her head.
As the humongous spiders started attacking the people, Alicia and Syrus huddled together.
As the group of people ventured into the spider cave, Kris squeezed the stuffed dog.
As the main character rushed out of the spider cave on a motorcycle with a large fireball chasing him, Shara buried her face in Jaden's shoulder, despite the surprise he had in her doing so.
As the movie ended, Aster and Emerald quickly tore off the red film covering the lights and brightened them. Everyone stared at Leslie as she hid her face in Zane's shirt.
"She has arachnophobia," Zane explained. The rest nodded.
"What movie shall we watch next?" Jaden asked.
"How 'bout something lighter and more upbeat?" Shara suggested. "That last movie was creepy." She shivered.
"Like Monty Python and the Holy Grail!" Leslie exclaimed, happier now that the spider movie was over.
"Great idea," Aster agreed. Jaden nodded and popped the disk in the DVD player next. The movie started, and the group of people prepared to have a good time.
Light and Chazz were examining some wolf-like footprints near the Slifer dorm.
"What are we looking for again?" Light asked impatiently. Chazz studied claw marks on a nearby tree trunk.
"A monster."
"Well, duh!" Light replied. "But what are we looking for?" Chazz glared at Light, his eyes gleaming in the beams of the half moon.
"From the evidence, it looks like a werewolf."
"Ah," Light said. After thinking on what Chazz had said, he asked, "But don't werewolves come out at full moons only?" The vampire looked at the dragon like he was stupid.
"Only the rarest come out at the full moon. The most common change with their emotions (1), and the semi-rare change with the night. This one looks semi-rare, probably a Day student," Chazz concluded.
"Wow, you can see all that from just those marks?" Light said, amazed.
"Well, either that, or it's the wolf demon. By the way, have you found him yet?"
"Well, I have my suspicions, and few of them are girls." Chazz nodded.
"C'mon, we have to find this werewolf before he – or she – hurts anyone. If it is the semi-rare one, then its about a 20 percent chance someone will be infected, and if he infects another monster, that 20 percent becomes a chance for death."
(1) Kind of like the Stephanie Meyer version. I like her version of werewolves!
Sorry to end it there, but the plot will come next chapter. For now, REVIEW PLEASE!! Always love reviews!
