Chapter 19: S.O.S

"So how long do we have to be here?..'Sam asked.
"Until that thing leaves or we think of a better plan to take it out...'Star said as she looked out the window but she didn't see anything out there.
So they are safe...for now.
But for how long, there is no way of knowing.
Both girls were inside the abandoned storage shed. Neither knew how much time has passed or how late it is now.
All the knew is that they had to be as quiet as possible until their stalker was gone or they could think of a better plan and strategy.
"What time is it?..."Star questioned.
"Late...very, very late..."Sam muttered as she looked out the window.
She didn't see any signs of...whatever it was that was out there...
Good...
"Good news, I don't see tall, dark and gruesome.."Sam said and she would have sat down, only to be reminded once again that she is handcuff to Star and anyplace she wishes to be, the blonde girl is literally right next to her.
"Of course, even after all of this I am chained to the little blonde Barbie wanna-be...'Sam muttered and Star heard her.
"At least I'm not chained to a bitter, jealous, boyfriend stalking harpy...oh, wait...yes I am!..."Star snarked and Sam growled at that.
"One more crack and we'll see how cute Danny finds you with a black eye!..."Sam threatened.
"And one more crack out of you, and I'm going to knock those veneers in your mouth from here to the lake!..."Star said with her own fist raised.
"My teeth are real!..."Sam said in offense.
"Not for long if you keep it up!...'Star threatened.
"Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?..."Sam spat.
"What I'd like, is for you to actually use the time and energy you use for insulting me, to something more constructive...like getting us out of here...'Star argued.
"You mean like I did at the cabin, when I blasted the creature, while you suggested running away and hiding in your little make out shed..."Sam mocked.
"You knew I was right when I said we needed a better plan...'Star argued.
"Well, what's the new plan, princess?...'Sam said mockingly, only for Star to go from angry to exasperated.
"I'm trying to think of one, okay! Just stop picking on me!..."Star yelled, only to regret it, out of fear that they might attract their stalker.
"Quiet!..."Sam hissed.
Both girls were silent, but didn't hear any signs of the beast around.
Good.
"Way to go, you nearly gave us away..."Sam scolded.
"You weren't helping..."Star pointed out and Sam glared at her
However, to her surprise, Star retracted and took a deep breath.
"No...not again...arguing has done nothing but cause trouble..."Star said under her breath looking down.
The blonde girl turned to the dark haired girl and sighed.
However, before Sam knew it, Star gasped in horror and suddenly grabbed an old tennis racket from when they were campers and held it in her hand.
"What are you-
Star then swung and then hit something that had been on Sam's arm.
A spider.
It was now on the ground and the blonde girl used the tennis racket and crushed the spider, killing it.
That's when Sam's animal lover instincts kicked in.
"What the heck were you doing?..."Sam scolded.
"Saving you!..."Star retorted.
"Oh, just because you might be afraid of bugs, it doesn't mean they are dangerous or their lives are less important than-
"It's a black widow spider! Look..."Star said as she pulled out her phone and shined the light.
Sam blinked and noticed the red marking on the now dead black spiders back and there is no mistake about it.
It's a black widow, one of the most poisonous spiders in the world.
"A...A black widow..."Sam whispered in horror.
"Yeah, as in, one bite and you're history!..."Star said and Sam just looked out in horror as it now dawned on her that she was nearly bitten by it...and Star is the one who saved her.
Talk about ironic.
"I can't believe this..."Sam whispered, still unable to believe she nearly got poisoned just now and her hated enemy is the one who saved her.
Star saw her expression and sighed.
"Manson, I will be frank here..You don't like me and the feeling is mutual but the fact remains that we are handcuffed together, there is possibly a killer beast on the loose out there and all we have done is fight and argue...and it has done nothing to help..."Star said and Sam, for once, was listening to what she said.
"What are you trying to say?...'Sam asked, still a little shaken here.
"I am saying that I...I don't like this any more than you do...and I know we aren't friends but the fact remains that us working together is our best chance at survival..."Star started.
"So, look...how about we postpone our feud until we are out of danger so...so...truce?..."Star suggested said as she offered her hand to her rival.
Sam was silent for a long tone, as she looked down at the hand and then to her rival. The gothic girl had a stern look on her face...before it broke a bit and she sighed in defeat as she took it.
Whether she likes it or not, Star did save her from getting bitten and their lives are still in danger right now...
"Truce..."Sam said in a defeated voice, while Star nodded and sighed.
"Okay...since we have some time...maybe we can finally think up a plan to get out of this creepy place before we become someone's lunch..."Star said.
Sam nodded as the two girls put their differences behind them for the time being.
Maybe, just maybe now they can finally start working together to get out of there.
As the two girls finally calmed down from the shock of near death by spider bite and the subsequent truce, they tried to actually think together now on how to get out of their predicament.
Sam then noticed something in the shed that made her look relieved.
"We're saved! It's a HAM radio, the one from Lancer's demonstration..."Sam said as she picked up the device.
You see during those gruesome weeks at Camp Skull and Crossbones, Mr. Lancer and Ms. Tesslaff did a series of demonstrations to "entertain" the campers and one of them was demonstration how to send messages in times of crises.
"A what radio?..."Star questioned since she and the other A-listers had bailed on that demonstration since they thought it was lame.
A decision she now regrets.
"It's a radio where people can send two way messages, people use it during crises..."Sam said and Star now looked hopeful.
"We can use it to call for help!...'Star exclaimed happily.
Sam however, soon checked it over and groaned.
"Darn it, it's out of power..."Sam said in dismay, feeling that hope was taken.
Star blinked and before she could say anything, they suddenly heard noises again.
They also knew what it meant...
"He's back..."Star whispered in horror.
"The window...hurry..."Sam ordered and Star nodded, having no time to argue.
The two girls soon slipped out of the window just as their "friend" got closer and closer to the door of the shed and ran outside, as far away from the shed as possible.
To get as much distance as possible between them and who or whatever is following them.
