*Disclaimer: I don't own the series Gilmore Girls or the characters. All I
own is my imagination and the plot. (And I partly own the screams) ;-)
*A/N: Hey! Like I've said before, I'm not really good in the horror department, but I am going to keep practicing. I already have another idea for the next GG horror story. So...........yah! I am very excited about that. Anyway loved the reviews (as always) and please tell me what you think when you're done. Thanks! :-)
*Oh yeah, I just wanted to thank Steffanie and Lieke for their support, or something that's leaning towards that direction anyway. ;-) Hope you guys don't mind.*
*~*~*:-)*~*~*Bye, smile :-)
After a couple of minutes, of what seemed like running for their lives, they finally ended up on the beach. Without looking back, Dave, Rory, Jess and Lane, started to run in the direction of the house. Dave was the first to reach it and he started knocking on the door, yelling for Dean to open up the door. Those four or five seconds were enough for Rory, to look over her shoulder at the dark woods around them. She wondered if Tristan was still in there, lost.
J: ''Rory.''
She turned her head and looked at Jess, her mind still worrying about Tristan. They were the only two people still standing outside. The others were already inside.
J: ''Come on.''
Rory shook her head and took a step back.
R: ''Tristan's still out there..............''
Jess understood her concern, he himself was worried about Tristan, but he couldn't help to feel a little jealous. She had the chance to go in and be 'safe' and yet she was juggling with the thought of going back out there, for Tristan. Though he knew that she would do exactly the same for him.
J: ''Rory, I know you're worried, but..........''
R: ''Fine.''
Rory shot one more glance in the direction of the woods and took a couple of steps towards the door. Suddenly she could hear footsteps, fast ones, and before she could go into the house, a hand grabbed her shoulder. She shrieked, but stopped when she heard the sensual voice, that had haunted her every time she walked the corridors of Chilton.
T: ''I didn't know one simple touch would get such an arousing reaction.''
Rory quickly turned around and slightly smiled at Tristan. He eyes quickly scanned him, trying to see if he was hurt in any way. When she finally met his eyes, there was a sparkle of amusement in them.
T: ''I don't think this is the appropriate time to be checking me out, Mary.''
Rory rolled her eyes.
R: ''I was trying to see if you were hurt, but you're not. Thank God.''
T: ''Only on the outside. And I don't think God had anything to do with it.''
R: ''Right, what was I thinking ? God would have never saved Satan's little helper.''
T: ''Actually......I'm not so little, if you know what I mean ?''
Tristan licked his lips and wiggled his eyebrows.
R: ''Say hi to your ego for me.''
T: ''I will, but inside. Shall we ? Mary's first.''
Rory sighed and went inside, Tristan closely behind her. Once they were inside, he closed the door. Dean and Dave pushed the couch in front of the door, not really knowing why. Everyone just had a feeling that it wasn't over yet.
P: ''What happened ? Why did you guys put the couch in front of the door ?''
J: ''This way you have a better view of the room.''
P: ''That makes absolutely no sense, because first of all..............''
T: ''Shut up !''
P: ''Hey, he started it by making such a ridiculous comment and I was just about to tell him why exactly that comment made no sense, but then you rudely interrupted me. Didn't your parents ever teach you that interrupting people is rude ?''
T: ''Paris..........''
P: ''Fine.''
Paris crossed her arms and shot Jess a stern look.
Once Paris wasn't talking anymore, Rory could hear nothing, but silence surrounding them. Even the wind had stopped blowing and had retreated into its nightly hiding spot.
R: ''Maybe it's over ?''
All of a sudden the lights went off, no warning this time, not a single flicker. But then again the lights were probably the warning, cause as soon as everything went black, there was another one of those terrifying screams. Rory could hear Shane shriek, but she couldn't see her. Her eyes hadn't fully adjusted to the dark yet. That was probably why she had always been so afraid of the dark. The fact that you couldn't see a thing for the first minute. And the frightening thing was, that her other senses seemed to get more observant. She could hear everyone around her moving, but she couldn't see them.
T: ''Has anyone seen a flash-light lying around or something ?''
R: ''I brought one.''
P: ''Did you also bring a gun ?''
R: ''I brought it, so I can read at night Paris.''
T: ''Get it.''
Get it ? Alone ? There was no way she was walking all the way to her room by herself.
R: ''......I.....don't like the dark.''
T: ''Mary, I would get it, but.........''
J: ''I'll go with you, come on.''
Jess found Rory's hand in the dark and started to lead her to her room. Rory listened to Jess' calm and steady breathing as they walked. She realized that she was clinging to him, almost desperately, so she loosened her grip a little. Once they reached the room, Jess let go of her hand and gestured for her to go ahead. Rory first instinct was to say yeah right, but she knew that she had to go in there. No one else knew where she kept her flash-light. So, she took a step into the room, while Jess was standing in the doorframe, watching her.
As she was walking over to her dresser, terrible scenes of horror movies were showing in her head. One by one. Even scenes of the horror movies she saw when she was a little girl came to the surface. Girls getting killed in the most horrific and disgusting ways. Their body parts scattered all over. Rooms where every single wall was covered with dark red blood. Messages written in blood, numbers, names, warnings. Dark rooms with eyes watching you out of every possible corner. Her mind wandered back to the graveyard they had seen. She wondered how those teens died ? Did they die of a natural cause or did...........or did they what ? Got bitten by a vampire ? Did the zombies get them ? Rory shook her head. She was scaring herself. She quickly opened the drawer of her dresser and grabbed the flash-light. She turned it on and turned around, just as another scream filled the house.
Rory bit her lip, even when she tasted blood, she didn't stop. She pictured a girl, her age, being slaughtered or buried alive. Jess saw how Rory's hand was shaking and walked over to her. He took the flash-light and looked at her.
J: ''Just a scream.''
Rory nodded.
R: ''I know.''
Suddenly she thought about the comment Tristan made a couple of minutes ago. ''I didn't know one simple touch would get such an arousing reaction.'' She wondered if Tristan thought this was arousing too ? Rory smiled.
J: ''What's so funny ?''
R: ''Just thinking about something Tristan said.''
J: ''Do I even wanna know ?''
Rory shrugged.
R: ''It involved him being excited.''
Jess shot her a look.
R: ''Don't look at me like that. You know what I mean.''
A sly smirk appeared on Jess' face as he shone the beam of the flash-light on Rory's face.
J: ''No I don't, explain ?''
R: ''Jess, I'm positive you took sex education, so.............''
J: ''The only class I could stay awake in.''
R: ''Gros !''
Rory hit him on the chest.
R: ''Let's go.''
Jess reached for her hand, but Rory pulled away.
R: ''I don't wanna hold your hand anymore.''
Jess' smirk turned into a grin.
J: ''You're right. Who knows where my hand has been.''
Rory started to blush and lowered her eyes. Jess just kept grinning. It was so easy to make her blush. He took her hand and they started to head back to the living room.
P: ''It took you guys long enough.''
R: ''Yeah, sorry. I couldn't find it.''
Tristan immediately took the flash-light from Jess, his blue eyes filled with determination. He turned around and shone it on the door, as if he was inspecting it for something.
Unexpectedly a scream found its way into the house again. This one was extremely clear and shriller than the others had been. It was ripping right through them, causing their ears to pound. The pounding was vibrating across their entire bodies, causing them to shake and tears to appear in their eyes. And the screaming didn't stop. Just as it was about to fade, it started again. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and before they knew it, it became more constant and the door started to shake. More screams, but no one could be sure if it came from outside or if the screams belonged to them.
As soon as the screaming stopped, the pounding on the door got louder and the door started to shake even more. Tristan and Dean hurried towards the door, pushing their weight against the door and the couch. Paris started to push the chair towards the door, keeping some sort of calmness. Rory could see Dave and Lane standing a couple of paces away from her. Dave was shining the flash-light and was comforting Lane. Even Lane was scared. Rory looked around for Shane, but couldn't find her. She started to worry.
The knocks got louder and more violent and the screams got more helpless and desperate, almost pleading them to make the suffering stop. Rory covered her ears, but it didn't do much good, the screams just went right through her.
T: ''We're in one of those freaking Stephen King novels.''
P: ''You're not helping Tristan.''
T: ''Hey, you want me to step away from the door, cause I will if you tempt me.''
Then, another sound joined the knocking and screams. It sounded like nails tapping against glass and Rory realized that now 'they' were tapping on the windows. Rory looked around, feeling helpless. She wanted to do something, help. And that was when everything stopped and the silence returned. The knocking and tapping stopped and the screams faded. They listened for a while to the footsteps that were moving all around the house, but soon that was gone too. The lights went back on and the wind started to blow again.
D: ''Everyone alright ?''
Rory nodded and looked around the room. She spotted Shane almost immediately. She was sitting in a corner of the living room, shaking and her head buried in her arms.
R: ''Shane........''
Rory walked over to her.
R: ''Are you okay ?''
Shane didn't answer. Rory kneeled in front of Shane and repeated the question.
R: ''Shane, are you okay ?''
There was still now answer, but Shane did look up at her. Her face was stained with the remains of tears.
S: ''I wanna go home.''
Shane started to cry, ignoring all the eyes that were watching her. Rory looked at Shane, not sure what to do or say.
R: ''Me too.''
T: ''No place like home.''
Paris looked at him and crossed her arms.
P: ''Look who's trying to be helpful.''
T: ''And look who's trying to be a pain........wait. You're not trying, that's just you. I forgot, my bad.''
Paris shot him a death glare.
S: ''Is it over ?''
Rory nodded and sat down next to her. Rory avoided Jess' gaze as she hesitantly put her arm around Shane, trying to comfort her.
Lane: ''Now what ? Are we going to go outside and..........''
T: ''Go for a walk ? Yeah, sure, seems like a perfect time. Who's joining me ?''
Tristan shot Lane an amusing look, but before Lane could respond, Paris got in between.
P: ''We should get some sleep. We'll check things out tomorrow.''
Everyone nodded or mumbled a yeah before going to their rooms.
T: ''Just don't expect me to wake up early.''
R: ''Shane, do you want me to take you to your room ?''
S: ''Yeah.''
Rory brought Shane to her room, telling her that everyone would be just in one of these rooms. She went back to the living room, leaving the lights on and the door open in Shane's room. She found Jess pushing the chair back to its original place.
R: ''Is that wise ?''
Jess shrugged.
J: ''Gotta sit somewhere.''
Rory helped him with the chair, even though it wasn't necessary.
J: ''So, how's Shane ?''
R: ''Okay I think. She's sleeping with the lights on and the door open, but I think everyone's doing that.''
Jess nodded and briefly met Rory's eyes.
J: ''How are you ?''
R: ''How I am ? Well, I'm very talkative, shy, I read a lot..........''
J: ''You know, you could have just said fine.''
R: ''Oh, you meant it like that ? My mistake.''
Jess smirked at her. Rory took a step back and pointed in the direction of her room.
R: ''I'm going to bed.''
J: ''I'm staying here, I can't sleep anyway.''
Rory stopped walking and shoved her hands in her pockets.
R: ''Want some company ?''
Jess shook his head.
J: ''Get some sleep.''
Rory nodded and left the room. Jess started to walk around the house, trying to think of explanations for everything that had just occurred.
*R*E*V*I*E*W*! Please ? :-) Okay, so that was basically the horror. But don't worry, there are still some mysteries to solve.........
