It's BAAAAACK! =D
Yup! It's The Reed 2!!!! Back by popular demand... or whatever.
I'm putting it together with part one because then you get to read the whole thing at one go.
Anyway, a thousand thanks to all my reviewers for... uh, the reviews.
Thanks also to my fellow oboist, review name CmrAwks, for giving me ideas for the story. *grins evilly*
The Reed II
The remaining members of the Fellowship of the Reed made it back from Mt. Melo safely, running all the way knowing all too well the possibility that The Reed was coming to get them. Panting with exhaustion, Martyn, Ian, Ariel, Charis and David climbed back over the school gate, after which they stopped to catch their breath.
"What do we do now?"
"I don't know! I suppose we should go back to sleep..."
"But what if The Reed comes and murders us in bed?"
"It can't! We've got a night guard, remember?"
"Yeah. Lets' go."
They went up the stairs to the band room. After tripping over the snoring guard, they lay down in their not-too-comfortable sleeping bags and somehow managed to doze off.
The events of the night still haunted them, though, and the Fellowship was plagued with various nightmares. Like in the case of David, who in his sleep was heard yelling, "THE REED IS AFTER ME! IT'S AFTER ME! AAAAAAAHHH!!!" for no apparent reason. Martyn was also heard shouting, "THE GREMLINS ARE COMING!!!" but it was more likely the effect of too many movies than The Reed.
The next day, the rest of the band, being as usual exceptionally dumb, did not notice the absence of three of its members. That is, until they formed up to march, whereupon three empty spaces were seen among the woodwinds.
Puzzled, the band major asked, "What happened to Jeslyn, Joel and Corrine?"
"Dead," the Fellowship replied in unison.
"Oh."
The marching started. It went on and on, the poor marchers dehydrating from lack of water, their tongues hanging out as a result. On and on they marched, panting all the way.
And then it happened.
Not many thought it was strange when band members started falling to the ground one by one. After all, it happened most of the time, what with the insufficient number of water breaks, way too high temperatures, miscellanous insects flying around stinging people, etc.
However, those who were still standing suddenly felt a stick gooey liquid surging round their ankles. Looking down, they saw the blood. Lots of it. And the corpses. They screamed. That is, with the exception of the band major who, having eye witnessed the previous Reed deaths, had become slightly jaded.
One more person fell. And for the first time that day, they saw the case of the deaths. It was The Reed. Sticking through the heart of the last victim. The Reed. Looking stronger than ever.
It was back.
And it wanted revenge.
TO BE CONTINUED...
So what d'you think? Ok? Worse than Part One? Better than Part One? Please review!!!!! Thanks. It'll be greatly appreciated. ^_^
