What Happens To Them?
By Anna Morgan
Day One: Laura
The next day, it was very cold. Laura awoke to her mother and father getting ready for work. She realized the time was 8:00 a.m.; she was supposed to be at school! Panicking, she rushed around her room, getting dressed and trying to be ready. She rushed out of her room, which earned her a strange look from her parents.
"Laur, what are you doing up this early?" her mother asked her.
"Mom! It's 8:15! I have to get to school!"
"Laura?"
"Not now, Dad, I have to get ready!"
"Laura.."
"Hold on!"
"Laura!" her father grabbed her shoulder and held her back. "It's Saturday."
At that moment, Laura felt like a complete idiot. She knew she had just done something stupid. She went back on her room and shut the door.
She looked on her dresser and noticed a video tape. 'Aiden must have left his tape here,' she thought. She picked it up and was about to go out the door when she stopped. If her parents saw it, they would ask what it was and where it came from and what it is and things like that. She decided to just go over to Rachel's house and give it back to her.
Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw something on the TV screen move. 'I thought I turned it off last night.' She went to see if it was off when static came on the screen. She started to panic; the TV never did that before! In horror, she unplugged it and ran out of the room, closing the door behind her.
As she rushed to the door, he father asked her, "Laura where are you going?"
Taken by surprise, she answered quickly, "I was-going to James' house!"
"Okay. We'll be home at 9 o'clock tonight."
"Ok, Dad, bye."
Now that she had said that, she had no choice but to go to James' house.

James: Day One
"I had to come over, I didn't have a choice."
"Well, you could have just hung with someone else till I woke up."
When Laura went to James' house, she wasn't surprised to find that his parents were gone and he was still in bed. So, she dragged a tired and unhappy James out of bed and forced him to talk to her for about ten minutes. That woke him up, so, not being tired anymore, he got some food and sat down. Now, the two of them were currently sitting in the Dining room talking once again.
"James, before I came over here.you know that tape Aiden, well, WE, watched last night?" she asked slowly.
"Yeah, why?"
"I went in my room and something moved inside my TV. Then, it came on, just, like, by itself. I unplugged it and I don't know what it was, but it was something." She explained. "Somehow, I don't know how, but I think it had something to do with that tape."
James thought for a moment. "When I woke up this morning, the TV in the living room was on and it was all static, too."
They were silent for a moment. It was Laura who spoke first. "You think there's any connection?"
"I dunno.. maybe we should talk to Natalie first." James answered, frowning. Not as if he were upset, but as if he were thinking of his answer.
"Do you think she's awake?"
"Well, jeez, Laur, it I wasn't awake, what makes you think she'll be?"
"True..." Laura said slowly. "I think we should talk to Rachel about the tape. Maybe she knows what it is."
"Maybe." James got up and walked towards his room. "I'm gonna get dressed."
"Ok."
*~*
It was around 9:30 AM when Natalie showed up. They gave her time to get dressed and everything, not like Laura did to James. When she arrived, James let her in and she sat at the table with Laura and James sat down next to her.
"Ok, Natalie, the three of us needs to talk," James said, being serious for once.
"About what?"
"That tape we watched last night!" Laura exclaimed. "Something is up with it, I'm sure."
"Okay, I have not idea what you're talking about." Natalie replied.
"Ok," James began. "Have you noticed anything weird about the TV's in your house today, Nat?" James asked her.
"Not really no," she answered. "Why?"
"Because we have," Laura said.
Natalie eyed Laura. "Like what?"
James and Laura told Natalie about the TV going on by itself, and things in TV moving. Natalie shook her head.
"Well, my TV didn't go on, but something did move in it," she said slowly.
"Like what?" James asked her. "Tell us."
Natalie shook her head. "I don't know how to describe it," she answered.
"And another thing that's totally screwed up," Laura began, "Is that phone call we got."
"That freaky little voice is gonna haunt me the rest of my life, dude." James said in a monotone voice.
"You know what? I think we should talk to Rachel, y'all," Laura suggested.
"Amen," Natalie replied.
*~*
Laura rapped on Rachel's door. It was 10:00 in the morning. It was Aiden who answered the door.
"Hey, where's yo mom?" James asked him.
"Hold on," Aiden said. "Rachel!"
"What it is, honey?" Laura heard Rachel's voice reply.
"Laura wants to talk to you." Aiden walked to the kitchen as Rachel came out.
"Hi Laura, what brings you over so early?" Rachel asked, looking at her watch.
"I need to talk to you, Rach," Laura bit her lip. "It's about something Aiden brought to my house yesterday."
"What is it?" Rachel said. Knowing what was coming, but wishing it weren't.
"It's a tape," James said in a strong voice.
Rachel's jaw dropped in horror.
