The X-Files: Ulvetyd
Prologue
K. R. Hendris High School.
New Jersey
"Hey Julie! Are you going to the Spring Dance next week?" asked 14 year old Franchesca DiOlvert.
"Maybe…if Adam Peters asks me out," 15 year old Julie Morris as she sat down at the white picnic style table
"Oh he's a hottie!" Fran squealed.
"Definitely," Julie replied grinning.
Both girls were best friends and seniors at the K. R. Hendris High School.
They were part of the 'popular' crowd and loved to make fun of the not so popular students. They were also members of the cheerleading squad.
Julie has long brown hair and brown eyes. Fran has shoulder length black hair and violet eyes. Julie was wearing jeans and a pink tee shirt. Fran was wearing tan slacks and a blue shirt.
Just then, Julie prodded Fran.
"Ooh, there's that freak," Julie whispered giggling.
"Ugh…definitely a freak," Fran snickered.
A girl around Julie's age with shoulder length curly dark brown hair and honey brown eyes had just entered the cafeteria. She was quiet and kept to herself. She was dressed in a navy skirt and a white peasant style blouse.
"She dresses like a weirdo," Fran smirked.
Julie looked at her watch.
"It's time for Science"
The bell rang, ending the lunch period.
Both girls got up and left the cafeteria, laughing and smirking as they passed the girl.
After school, Fran and Julie entered the gym and began practice with the other members of the squad.
"Okay girls! Time to practice Basket Tosses and Scorpions!" Julie cheered eagerly.
The girl's eagerly got into formation.
They were all dressed in jogging pants and tee shirts for practice. Their uniforms, black and white, were used when the school's football team, the K. R. Hendris Lions had games. There was a game coming up shortly, about two weeks away. The Lions were against the next school, the L. D. Androse High School Vultures. The Lions had won the preliminary games and had several trophies from winning nationals and championships.
If the Lions won this game, it would be the 15th victory in 14 years.
"Okay! Start the Basket tosses!" Julie called.
A basket toss required about six girls tossing a seventh into the air and then catching her when she came down. It was difficult and took time to learn.
They did the Basket Tosses…then the Scorpions.
They heard the door opening to the gym. The squad looked up. The girl with the curly dark brown hair stood at the doorway.
"Great. Now the freak wants to watch us," Fran muttered.
Julie grinned and went over to her.
"Can I help you?" Julie asked in a false sweet voice.
"I-I was wondering if I could join the squad," the girl said.
"What's your name?"
"Margaret Fisher," she replied softly.
"Well…Margaret, we have enough girls for the squad," Julie said, sweetly.
"But there's fliers up asking for a 12th girl," Margaret stammered looking confused.
"Oh. Right. See here's the thing. We don't like 'freaks' to be on our squad…K?" Julie said.
"Freaks?" Margaret squeaked.
"Exactly and you are a freak. So get your ass out of here, you weirdo," Julie spat as she turned her back on Margaret and walked back over to the squad.
Margaret just stood there, hurt and angry. It was just like those girls to be snobs…Julie especially. She was the most snottiest girl here just because her father owned one of the banks in town, she thought she could boss others around who weren't that 'privileged'.
Margaret narrowed her eyes at Julie and continued to watch the routines.
"She's watching us," Fran muttered to Julie.
"Who cares? I took care of it!" Julie scolded. "Now, let's try the pyramid!"
The girls began getting into formation for the most difficult and tricky routine…the pyramid.
It required five girls on the bottom on their hands and knees, three girls on their backs on their hands and knees, two on top of them, and the last girl on their backs standing.
They carefully got into position. Julie was the girl that was supposed to go on top. She carefully climbed up.
Margaret watched her closely through narrowed eyes.
Julie reached the top and stood up, making sure she had her balance. She then lifted her leg up in the air and held it with her hand.
They held the position for at least a minute. Then, something happened.
Julie seemed to be losing her balance. She lowered her leg and dropped to her hands and knees onto the backs of the three girls.
"Julie? What's wrong?" Fran asked, nervously from the bottom.
"I don't know! It feels like someone is trying to push me off!" Julie cried struggling to hold on.
"What?" Fran asked, startled.
"It feels like someone is trying to push me!" Julie cried, now getting frightened.
"There's no one near you though!" Fran cried.
"I can't explain it okay? Just help me down!" Julie cried.
Just then, as if someone with strong hands were right next to Julie on the pyramid, shoved her.
Julie screamed as she toppled off the pyramid and fell face down on the hardwood floor. The girls' screaming broke the pyramid and crowded around Julie, who was lying face down on the floor. A thin pool of blood was forming on the floor.
Fran crouched down beside Julie and gently shook her.
"Julie?" she asked.
There was no answer.
"Julie?"
She gently turned Julie over onto her back. The girl's screamed again. Her entire face was broken and she was dead. Fran looked up. The girl was still standing there with a strange smile on her face.
