Saia: ummm. yeah.

Chapter 3: Katie's funeral

Day 3:

I walked in the door, and threw my book bag on the floor. My world now was completely screwed up. I walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. My mom looked over at me. "Hey hon!" I sighed. "Hello mother."

"How was your day?"

"Fine."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really."

She nodded, and sat down in a chair next to me. The phone rang. I got up and answered it. "Hello?" It was Pan. "Oh hey, umm hang on a minute." I looked over to my mom. "I'm gonna be on the phone for a while. This is important. Ok?" She sighed. "Fine.. what is it, a girl thing?" I nodded. "Yeah. a girl thing.." I ran upstairs so I wouldn't have to be questioned further.

Pan and I talked for a long time. We talked about the situation. "Well, why don't we watch the actual movie and see what they did?" My face light up dimly, "Good idea! We can get Tucker to watch it. I have a funeral to go to."

"He was there when we watched it, right?" Pan asked. I nodded, "Yeah he was. Well listen I got to go. I'll talk to you later, ok?"

"Yeah ok! See ya!"

We hung up. I called Jessica. I heard the phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey Jessica.. Can you come over to my house real quick?"

"Yeah.. ok. see ya.."

We hung up. Jessica arrived at my house 30 minutes later. We went upstairs to my room. She looked around my room, and we both sat on my bed. I looked at her. "Have you heard about the tape that kills you seven days after you watch it?"

She nodded, "I'm not concerned with it. It's just a myth."

I shook my head slowly, and pulled it out of my purse. "No it's not." She looked at it. "How do you know this is it?" I starred at her. "Trust me.. I know.." She rolled her eyes. "Let me watch it then!" She snatched it from my hands. "Alright.. but YOU'RE answering the phone when it rings," I walked out of the room. I didn't need to see it again. I walked out into the hall, and looked at a painting hanging on the wall. It was a light house. The movie cut off, and Jessica shrugged. "It's not so-" Her sentence was interrupted by the ringing of the telephone.

"It's just a coincidence," She went over and picked it up. "Hello, Brief residence," There was a pause, then she slammed the phone back down on the receiver. She shook her head, then put her hands over her ears. "Not happening.not happening." She said over and over. I patted her shoulder, "It's ok.we're going to figure out a way to stop this." She nodded slowly, and walked out.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I looked around slowly. I was now at Katie's Funeral. People were sobbing, hugging, comforting each other. I sniffled. I walked over to Katie's mom and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around. She was sobbing. "I am so sorry about Katie." She hugged me, and I hugged her back, patting her back softly. I felt a tear stroll down my cheek, but I didn't care. Katie's mom let go of me. "Lord. what has Katie done to deserve this?" She asked no one. I didn't reply. I couldn't do anything to bring her back, and the dragonballs we have to wait another year. I walked upstairs, and went down the hall, into Katie's room. I slowly looked around.

I felt a deep hollowness inside of me. This happened to Katie, and now it was going to happen to me. I didn't know what to expect now. I walked back downstairs, and walked over to one of my friends. "Hey."

"Hey"

"Too bad about Katie, huh?"

"Yeah..I'm gonna miss her.real bad."

"I am too."

"How did she die, do you know?"

I silenced myself, "Ummm."

Katie's mom ran up to us, panting, "Katie's.body.gone!"

I dropped my drink, "What!?" I ran upstairs back into Katie's room. I looked around. I looked at the T.V. Something pointed at the closet. I ran over to the closet, and opened the door. There was Katie. She was shrivled up, her eyes a light lime-green. Her skin looked like black tree bark. Her hair was as stringy as yarn. My mouth dropped. I was so scarred, I could hear my bones shaking. I tried to scream, but nothing came out. I just pointed at Katie. Finally, I shireked. I had discovered the dead Katie.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I woke up the next morning. I cautiously got out of my bed, and walked downstairs. Mom was at the stove, Trunks was sitting on the sofa, and dad was putting on sweatbands around his wrists. I shuddered. "Mom?" She turned around, "Yes dear?" I walked up to her slowly, "May I stay home from school today?" She looked at me funny, "Why dear? Not feeling well?"

"No, I just need to recover from last night."

She nodded, "Oh.ok." I sat down on the sofa on the other side of which Trunks was sitting on. He nodded at me, "Hey sis." I nodded back at him, not saying anything. He got up and walked out of the room. I sniffled, then my mom sat down next to me, "Anything you want to talk about?" I shook my head, "Not really." She tilted her head to the side a bit. "Ok." She said in an unsure tone. She got up, and finished whatever she was cooking. The phone rang. She went over and picked it up.

"Hello?" She paused. "It's for you." She handed the phone to me.

"Hello?"

"Hey Bura-san, it's Tucker."

"Tucker?! How did you get my phone number?" I whispered.

"Never mind, But I'm about to go see the actual movie. I'll call you and let you know what happened, ok?"

I nodded, "Ok, see ya." I hung up the phone.

"What was that about?" Mom asked me.

"Nothing."

I looked down at me hand, there was a drop of blood. I rubbed my nose with my hand. My nose was bleeding.

A/N: I forgot what happened in this chapter, so I kinda winged it XP
