Charlotte's P.O.V.
1987
Blue Doritos and Midnight Visits
Maria was right. Max's house was just wow. On the outside, it was similar to all of the other houses in the neighborhood: boring, but on the inside it was lit with electric signs, lava lamps, and other funky things. It looked just like it did in the movie. The only word I would use to describe it would be groovy.
Max gave me rundown on what rooms were off limits and weren't. The only two rooms that were, were his bedroom, which was obvious, and the basement. Max said the basement was uninhabitable due to missing floor pieces and fallen pipes. I know that that's probably where he sleeps in the day, so I'm definitely not going to go in there and snoop around.
Anyways, every other room in the house was free for me to use, including the kitchen, which I will admit, I had to stop myself from running to right when I got in his house I haven't really had the time to eat right, due to the stress of helping the boys and my job. It's a lot of work to be honest, but it's worth it.
"Help yourself to anything in the kitchen, but first, let me show you your bedroom." He said, leading me down a hallway. When we finally got to the door, he took a key and unlocked it.
"No one has stayed here since Maria, so it should be clean. There may be a little dust here and there, but you should be fine." He laughed. His eyes crinkled up, and I don't know how he could be as evil as he was showed at the end of the film. Nonetheless, I grinned.
"It's fine, Mr. Sanders." I tell him, fully ready to just go grab some food and watch some TV in my new room. Max grinned, but shook his head.
"No, I tell all of my employees to just call me Max, and you are no exception, young lady." He told me in a fake stern voice. I laughed but nodded anyways.
"Okay, Max." I told him before he bid me good night, leaving me to my devices. Luckily, the house wasn't huge, so I found my way to the kitchen without any trouble.
"Doritos, Doritos, Doritos… Where are you my crunchy little friends?" I ask myself, seeing the red kind, but not the iconic Cool Rang blue. I suddenly remembered that they came out in 1986, so Max may not have them yet.
I was just about to give up when I saw the blue bag of chips that has contributed to my happiness so many times before. My hand was just about to reach for it and grab the bag of deliciousness when I heard something. It wasn't just anything though. It was my name…
"Charlotte… Charlotte… Come to us Charlotte." An eerily familiar voice called out. It was like a whisper, but somehow, I felt like I was the only one who could hear it, like a dream. I wanted to follow it, go to the voice like it asked me to. I knew that it would be a bad idea, but I couldn't help myself. It was too tempting.
Now, mind you, I had seen the second and third movies, and while, they were trash compared to the first, they still held valuable information, such as when Nicole Emerson was being called by Shane Powers. I don't know how I was being called by David, though. I wasn't his childe…
I looked out the window to see lights, motorcycle lights. Suddenly, they went off, and I jumped away from the window, my mind a muddled mess, but I still wanted to go see them. I kept telling myself that it was a bad idea, and I'll probably die if I go out there, but for some odd reason, I didn't care.
I walked over to the door, still hearing them call me. This time it wasn't just David. It was Paul, Marko and Dwayne, too. I slowly put my hand on the door knob, feeling it's cold touch, making a shiver run through me.
Twisting the knob, I let the door fall open, feeling the cool ocean breeze blow against my warm face. I could see, though it was like I was looking through a pair of foggy glasses. I could see the sky, the street lights, and the sidewalk, but everything else was blurry, including the fast approaching figures.
"Come outside, Charlotte. Come with us." I heard them say, and just as I was about to step outside, a hand grabbed me on the shoulder and pulled me back inside, slamming the door in the process.
"Charlotte, I think it's time you went to bed." I heard Max say as he shoved me towards the hallway where my room was. Walking to my room, all I could think of was one thought.
Fuck blue Doritos.
