A Little Night Ride
By Yukira
Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters.
Author's Notes: A little while since I've updated. Well, I had a nightmare again so I guess I'll use that for the base of a few chapters. Thank you's for: Miss Da Qiao, Lady Qiao, BenneyC, Black Phoenix, WorstWriterEvera, tara, kelley, Chibipearball, lacitar13, and Xiao Qiao.
And then a few questions answered:
1. Zhou Yu has a website with pictures of roadkill or something? No, just a site with weird stuff.
2. Why did Zhou Yu and Sun Ce pull that prank on them? Just for fun, and a certain comeback for a prank that the Qiaos pulled on them.
3. How old do you suppose they all are? Da is 24, Xiao is 21, Sun Ce is 25, and Zhou Yu is 24.
*~~~~*~~~~*
Da Qiao looked out of the car window again. The moon was covered by clouds. Her wounds had stopped bleeding.
"We'll have to all stay at one house tonight." Said Sun Ce.
Xiao Qiao was curious. "How come?"
"In the horror movies, if people are separated, they can get killed or eaten faster. The closer we stay together, the safer we will be." Replied Zhou Yu.
Da Qiao shifted uneasily in her seat. "I guess you're right. But what if it's residing at our house, hmm?"
Ce laughed. "Then I guess we'll have to narrow it down to one room."
Finally, the group was back in front of the Qiao's home. Xiao Qiao skipped up to the house on the sidewalk and stopped when she heard a rustling in the bushes.
Da seemed to be faintly annoyed. "Xiao, move it!"
"There's something in there!" whimpered Xiao, pointing to the bushes.
Zhou Yu walked over and kicked the bushes. It was nothing except a cat.
Xiao Qiao sighed and laughed feebly as Da stared at her from behind. Xiao opened the door to the house and turned on the light.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce followed the sisters into the house. The four tiptoed together into Xiao's room, the largest bedroom in the house.
Xiao Qiao lay down on her bed and feigned sleep. Zhou Yu entered the room and raised his right eyebrow in mock annoyance.
"You can stop faking, I know you're awake."
Xiao Qiao sat up and started laughing. "You probably did, but tonight I get the bed!"
After the group had changed into their sleeping clothes, Xiao sat on her bed and cuddled a teddy bear. Da Qiao, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu slipped into their sleeping bags.
*~~~~*~~~~*
Xiao woke up in the middle of the night. Her throat felt dry. She looked over. Sun Ce was snoring loudly, Zhou Yu had his head rested on a pillow, and Da Qiao was sleeping peacefully. Xiao Qiao decided to get a drink of water.
Xiao Qiao grabbed a small glass from a cabinet and walked over to the water cooler. She dispensed some water and began to drink, smiling contentedly.
Suddenly, Xiao heard a 'whoosh' sound coming from the darkness (the living room) and a figure passed by quickly.
"Da Qiao? Is that you?"
The figure whooshed by again.
"Zhou Yu? Sun Ce?"
Xiao approached the darkness slowly and then all of the lights went out.
Xiao couldn't see anything but she could make out a figure coming closer and closer...
Finally, something pushed her and she fell back. Xiao Qiao crawled away.
Xiao, backed against a cabinet, tried to slide away from the figure but it advanced towards her. Xiao let out a scream.
The figure was an inch away from Xiao Qiao. Xiao could feel it breathing over her neck.
And then, the kitchen lights went on. Da Qiao, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu were standing near the switch. And then there was the hooded monster crouched over Xiao.
The monster quickly glanced at the trio, broke the kitchen window and glided out. It was gone.
Xiao was huddled against the kitchen counter, whimpering.
"Xiao? Are you okay?" asked Da Qiao and Zhou Yu. Sun Ce tried to stay awake from behind them.
Xiao Qiao was still whimpering, even though the monster was already gone.
Zhou Yu walked forward and picked up Xiao, then set her on her bed. Da Qiao, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu went back to sleep, but Xiao Qiao couldn't sleep that night, in the middle of the night, Da Qiao could hear her little sister shuddering.
*~~~~*~~~~*
"He is the one that plagues my dreams."
She ran into her house, locking the door behind her.
"The devourer of souls,"
And then he appeared before her.
"Should I give up?"
Running into the basement, she locked the door and barricaded it.
"How he hunts me down like this, I feel as if I cannot take it anymore!"
She took a flashlight with her and hid behind a shelf.
"Is there any way to stop him?"
And then the window broke, glass shattering into tiny shards.
"Will my life have been lived in vain?"
And there he was, his head no longer covered by the hood. And he lunged at her...
*~~~~*~~~~*
Xiao Qiao screamed into the night.
Da Qiao woke first. "Xiao, what's wrong?"
Xiao sat up and began crying, while cuddling a teddy bear. "I-I don't know! It was like... It was like..."
Zhou Yu, waking up second, sat up as well. "I think she's been traumatized."
Sun Ce woke up last. "Do you think she should see a psychiatrist?"
Zhou Yu and Da Qiao glared at him. "NO!"
"Seriously," explained Zhou Yu, "the psychiatrist will think she's deranged!"
Sun Ce hesitated. "Well, she'll have to tell someone about this..."
Da Qiao agreed. "I guess so, but not yet."
*~~~~*~~~~*
Well, all my chapters are shorter, but at least they're here! Heh heh...
Please Review! Be kind! Help a fellow fanfic writer!
