Veronica
-"You won't dare to do it! You will be laughed by the whole school and you will be sour all the rest of your puny life, and just because you won't go to the haunted house! Isn't that amusing?" Laughed Amelié, Isabelle's little sister. Isabelle, or Isa, like her friends and family called her, threw a pillow at her little sister to try to hush her, with no success, for Amelié ran off to tell her mom what Isa had done. The whole deal with the mocking had been because her friends had appointed themselves to go tomorrow to the hunted house, down the street, where Veronica lived. Her story started years and years ago. Veronica, the pretty green eyed girl, the owner of that awesome red hair, the so smart and funny girl, the one who, in 1966 lived down the street from where Isa lives now. Veronica was, of course, one of the most popular girls, cheerleader, and president of The French Club, an A+ student, always with a smile on her freckled face. Many parents thought to themselves how great of a daughter she'd make. She had never made a mistake, and she had never made anything wrong, so her parents had never had a fight with her. She was the envied at her school; the role model to follow to be successful. It so happened that envy, as usual, eats some people alive. There was certain girl, also very smart, also in the French Club, and also a cheerleader, that despised every bit of Veronica; her name was Kate. She also had everything, but the only thing on her way to the top was Veronica. But there was one thing that nobody, except Veronica knew about herself: that Veronica was very spoiled. That was perhaps one of the reasons that made her so selfish and ignorant. She had been nice and innocent, but inside she was sour and even evil. So, on Kate's 16th birthday, she got a car as a present. Now she had what Veronica didn't. That was it for Veronica to start hating Kate. At first she was awful nice, and all she wanted to have was a ride on the car, or the car itself. Finally, after a lot of 'Good-Veronica-Behavior' Kate agreed to give her a ride. Veronica told her to drop her at Kate's house, since they lived so close by. They were just passing the bridge that would take them to their house, and suddenly, Veronica, coldly, said- -"Aw little Kate has everything she wants uh? Well I'll make all that disappear, and when they find us, and take us to the hospital, I'll tell them you suddenly started attacking me, and we went down the bridge, and almost drowned, and then nobody will like you anymore!" And right then, she grabbed the steering wheel and turned it brusquely so that the car lost control and fell down to the river. Kate didn't have time to react and she just yelled for help. Two days later, Kate woke up at the hospital and they informed her that Veronica had died from a deep wound on her head at the instant from hitting the water. Kate had to breathe with a breathing machine because she had suffered a lot of injuries, and she needed that help. At night, just before she fell asleep, she heard somebody at the foot of her bed. She opened her eyes widely to see clearly who it was, and she only saw a blur of white light. -"You think I was going to let you live on when I died?" Suddenly Kate realized that it was Veronica, and she tried to yell, because of how Veronica looked, and because she was going to get revenge for something Kate hadn't done. Veronica was wet, dark as the water, and the blood, pouring out from her wound, was constantly dispersed by the water that surrounded her. Even her ghost preserved the effect of being underwater. She got to the breathing machine and turned it off. Kate started to cough painfully, and tried to breathe, but because of fear she breathed too fast, and the pain was more intense with every breath. Veronica stood watching her die slowly and painfully, until Kate closed her eyes forever. So now, Isa's friends said that Veronica was still at her house, wandering about, and there was a legend that if you said her name three times in front of a mirror, she would appear, just like Bloody Mary. And that was exactly what her friends wanted to do with Isa; dared her to say her name. Isa thought to herself that they were all rumors and that if she did it nothing would happen. So she went.
Isa took a relaxed breath, and then said the evil words- -"Veronica, Veronica, Veronica." Nothing happened.Of course! She opened her eyes, and everybody looked around; Nothing. Oh well it didn't matter it had been funny watching Isa's face sweat of fear. Everybody had looked to the mirror of the living room in the hunted house, but nobody saw anything. Oh well, let's go home then. But Isa had a dreadful feeling that Veronica had heard her, and she didn't know if it was from fear or because Veronica had really heard her. That night, she had abundant nightmares, and she woke up more than a time, because she swore she heard somebody talking to her. Next day at school, she felt tired, she felt scared, and she was really having a bad time. Her friends laughed at her because they said she was having nightmares with Veronica, and that was funny to them. So at Math class, she couldn't help it anymore, and she asked to go to the bathroom. When she entered it, a cold breeze met her. But then again it was winter and the windows were opened. She washed her face, and looked up to see her white face and the purple rings around her tired, red eyes. The she saw it. She opened her mouth in terror, and turned around, but she didn't see anybody. She looked again to the mirror and saw the evil smiling Veronica. But how couldn't she see her when she wasn't looking at the mirror? Then it hit her, that the legend also said that you could not see Veronica without a mirror. So she turned to the mirror, and saw, with a gasp of horror, that Veronica was just a couple of inches away from her. -"Why did you call me, Kate?" And she pushed Isa to the sink, where she got a mortal wound on her head, just like Veronica's.
-"You won't dare to do it! You will be laughed by the whole school and you will be sour all the rest of your puny life, and just because you won't go to the haunted house! Isn't that amusing?"
