** A/N: Hopefully this and the next few chapters will make up for the
compleat LACK of action all the way through. I was quiet proud of my idea
for the next few chapters. Let me know what you think and all will be
explained! Thank you, as always to my lovely reviewrs!-Kiera**
Lenore had been warm and cosy, nestled against the pillow in a dream that didn't involve anything freaky. Now she was awake, hating the tension in the room. She failed to see Amber's wisdom in putting Kenda and Matt in the same room. They where on opposite ends, Kenda flicking her lighter on and off while Shane and Nora played cards. It wasn't hard keeping an eye on two people. Aurora, Joey, Amber and riana where hauled up in another room with Lisa, Rob and John. The idea had been that they would be easier to protect if they split up. They where locked in the house, none of the windows opened and neither did any of the external door. Joey had been able to walk through, It had trapped them.
"This is bullshit." Matt declared, drawing everyone's attention to him.
"Why don't you just leave?" Kenda asked. "Oh wait, you can't can you?"
Lenore rolled her eyes. This she didn't need. Not right now.
"Chill guys." she said. "We've got other things to worry about, right?"
Her words went un-noticed. Matt and Kenda only ever needed one tiny little thing to set them off and they would be arguing for hours.
''How about we try throwing you against the window and see if that works." Matt shot back.
In response, Kenda put a hand over her chest and faked a pained look. "Ow, Matt. That hurt."
She flicked the lighter on and off again a few times, snapping the top of the lighter shut louder each time. Her eyes where on Matt, watching his jaw tighten with annoyance, Lenore felt a twinge of a headache and Shane and Nora where trying to ignore them. Matt snatched the lighter from her and threw it across the wall.
"Jesus christ! Do you have to be so petty? Why don't you go out there and find this thing? do us all a favour."
Kenda laughed a little. "Why, and derive you of the pleasure. I don't think so."
"Shut up!" Lenore screamed suddenly making everyone jump. "Just shut up! All you two ever do is bitch and moan at each other. The Universe doesn't revolve around you two! Unless you haven't noticed there are other things to worry about."
Kenda's jaw had pratically hit the floor. Matt was seething, he took a few steps towards her....
It was watching, now was time. There was so much hate radiating from them, pure hatred. It licked it's lips. Now, it would be so easy. It slinked towards them.
Aurora didn't reailse she'd fallen asleep simply because she didn't remember clsoing her eyes. She could still see everyone, Lisa curled up on the chair like a cat, Rob talking quietly to Amber while Joey paced the room. But Auora was somewhere else. She could feel something, something slightly off and there was a babble that gradually increased to voices. Screaming. One name being screamed so loud in her head. She couldn't hear the name, only the sound of the name and that it became clearer. Aurora was jolted back to the room, Riana had hold of her.
"Rora, what is it?" she asked.
"Lenore. Something's wrong with Lenore."
They ran, all of them, as fast as they could to the other room. The door was locked. Joey couldn't get through and they couldn't break it down.
"We need to get in." Riana was saying. "It's not just Lenore. Nora and Shane are in there and if we lose them....."
"Move." amber demanded pushing everyone out the way. "I'll unlock it, I'll turn the lock."
She put her hand of the door and seconds later there was a click as it unlocked. The room was a mess, the furniture was tipped over, the curtains where ripped and there was blood. The blood was everywhere. When they first went in, it was all they saw, red. The carpet, bloody smears on the walls, handprints, it was everywhere.
"Lenore." Joey whispered.
His eyes scanned the room. She was standing in the furthest corner, her hands on either side of her head leaving marks. She was staring at something on the floor. Joey saw first.
"Get out." He said, his voice low and commanding. He was trying to push them away.
"No, what's going on?" Riana asked. "Is everyone alright?"
"Just get out."
Aurora ducked under his arm and saw for herself. Shane was kneeling on the floor, he hadn't escaped from whatever happened. He looked like an extra from Scream. But then she saw what he was holding in his arms.
"She's dead." Shane said horesly, not looking up.
It was Kenda.
