Sammy sat in her spot on the couch and watched her friends one by one leave and go to bed. The first one was Michelle, then Haley, Kevin left right after Haley did and JJ followed soon after. Hannah and Kyra left together, Paul was woken up by Sheyla before the two went off as well, leaving Sammy and Lance.
"It's been a long day." Lance chuckled as he stood up and stretched.
"Yep." Sammy said, eyes lazily staring at the television screen.
"It's getting late, you should probably go to bed." Lance suggested.
"I will."
"You're short on words when you're tired."
"A little." Sammy chuckled and looked at the boy. "My back still hurts and I just don't want to get up." She admitted.
"Do you need help getting up?" Lance offered.
"Nah, I'll roll off when this movie is over."
"Alright, night, Sam." Lance said as he walked out, leaving Sammy alone.
"I need a break from all of this insanity." Sammy sighed and watched a chunk of the movie, not even remembering what it was about when her eyes closed and she drifted off.
Sammy woke up a start, not even realizing she had fallen asleep until she realized the credits to a movie she wasn't watching earlier, were rolling. She blinked hard before letting out a squeaky groan as she stretched herself across the couch. Sammy ended up rolling off of the couch and landed on the ground with a 'thump'. She was awake now. The girl cursed harshly as she pulled herself to her feet and searched for the remote. Sammy pressed info on the controller and saw that it was three in the morning, that wasn't good. She cursed again and turned off the t.v. and cursed more when she discovered that it was completely dark. Sammy tossed the remote onto the couch and felt her way out of the living room, bumping into almost everything.
"Next time I just leave the t.v. on." Sammy grumbled. "I should have just went to bed with Lance..." The girl stopped walking and realized what she had just said. "Thank God I'm alone." She sighed and continued walking, finally making it to the hallway. "My mouth is going to get me in trouble one day." Sammy grumbled. She paused when she heard gagging coming from behind a door and with squinted eyes she could tell that it was the bathroom door. "Hello?" Sammy went to the door and knocked on it softly, wincing when she heard more gagging and some coughing. "Hun...are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" The person behind the door said, laughing loudly and wildly. "I've never felt so great in my life!" Sammy stumbled back when the door was suddenly opened and she was greeted by a smiling Michelle. The girl's hair was plastered down with sweat and her grin was a lot wider than her usual smile.
"Michelle?"
"I'm hungry, are you hungry? Let's go eat!" Before Sammy could protest, Michelle grabbed her arm and dragged her through the hall, somehow able to see her way through the hall and the living room to the kitchen, where she flicked the light on and Sammy flinched in pain. Sammy blinked several times before she could get her eyesight back and she saw Michelle climbing up on the counter.
"Michelle, get down." Sammy snapped in a whisper, not wanting to wake everyone to witness what she was seeing.
"But food." Michelle giggled and pulled a packet of flower out of the cupboard.
"That's flour, hun." Sammy said calmly. Michelle started laughing again and grabbed a knife out of the knife rack. "Wait, Michelle-" Michelle stabbed the bag of flour, slicing it open and throwing flour everywhere. Sammy started coughing from the flour she inhaled and slipped on to her rear.
"Oopsie, someone done fell." Michelle clapped her hands, powder puffing off of her hands. Sammy slowly stood up, feeling pain on her tail bone. "You know what goes great with flour?" Michelle asked as she crawled across the counter. Sammy groaned in response, rubbing her lower back "No, silly." Michelle grabbed the jug of water Haley was going to use for tea in the morning and unscrewed the top. "Water!" Michelle threw the water on Sammy and laughed loudly. Sammy gasped, swallowing to keep herself calm. Michelle jumped off of the counter and swung the knife in her hand around. Sammy let out a curse as Michelle ran out of the kitchen and back into the living room.
"I'm going to kill that girl." Sammy growled and went after her friend.
"Look at how clean this room is!" Michelle stabbed a couch cochin with the knife and dragged it across. "I don't like it." She sneered before pulling out the stuffing in the cochin. Sammy didn't know how to react to her friend throwing couch filling everywhere. Michelle threw the cochin across the room and reached for another one.
"Micelle, stop!" Sammy snapped.
"You're right, cochin isn't enough." Michelle grinned again. "Let's try this!" Michelle took the knife and cut her own arm.
"Michelle!" Sammy cried and leaped at her friend. She grabbed her friend's arms and held them apart. Michelle started laughing again and yanked her arms out of Sammy's grip, being stronger than before and slashed Sammy's arm open. She kept laughing as she cut Sammy's other arm and pushed her back into the chair. The chair flipped back and Sammy fell over with it. Sammy quickly rolled away as Michelle stabbed the knife into the ground where her head had been at. Sammy took in a deep breath of air and jumped at her friend, tackling her to the ground. She sat on Michelle's stomach and pinned both arms to the ground next to Michelle's head. Michelle struggled in Sammy's grip, but Sammy wasn't going to let her go so easily next time. "You need to calm down Michelle." Sammy stated. She looked into her friend's eyes and saw that they were a dark red, those were not the light blue-gray color she was used to. "Breathe Michelle."
"No! The world will become red with blood! The moon and sun will fall! The sky will bleed with the blood of our enemies and no one can stop us! No one!"
"Michelle!" Sammy screamed into her friend's face, taking her hand off of the arm without the knife and slapping Michelle across the face. She quickly returned her hand before Michelle could recover. "You need to stop this shit right now! This is not you!" Sammy waited for an reaction from Michelle, but the pinned girl only stared at her. "Whatever is in your head right now, you need to kick it out. Whether it be madness or a spell or something else like that, fight it." Sammy watched the red slowly fad out of Michelle's eyes and she ignored the strange feeling of something entering into her, this was not the time to worry about herself. "You're a strong girl Michelle, you can go this."
"Sammy...my arm hurts." Michelle whimpered.
"It's okay Michelle, it's all okay." Sammy saw Michelle's grip on the knife loosen and her eyes slowly closed. "It's all over." Sammy took the knife and got off of her friend. She felt rage surge through her and she threw the knife at the wall and was shocked to see that it stuck to the wall, handle out. "Damn." Sammy struggled to get up and had a horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach. She groaned and moved as fast as she could to the bathroom, barely making it to the toilet before vomiting into it.
Sammy coughed several times before more came up and she gagged on the foul tasting substance. She shook as she opened her eyes back up and saw that the toilet was filled with a black goo, hopefully that was there before she got sick. The horrid smell made her vomit again and she struggled to breathe for a moment. Her lower lip trembled as she grabbed a tissue and cleaned her mouth. She dropped the tissue into the toilet bowl and flushed. Sammy leaned away from the toilet and her eyes rolled to the back of her head before she passed out on the bathroom floor. So much for a break.
