CHAPTER ONE: THE MOVIE

Quick Author's Note: I based Donovan Morgan's apperance on my own favorite actor Dominic Monaghan (I hope everyone knows who that is. Merry from Lord Of The Rings, Charlie from LOST)

"Look," Kira said, slamming the morning paper down in front of her brother.

Micah gave her a confused look, then picked up the paper. He read carefully the artical she had circled in red. She really didn't have to circle it, because it was a headliner. "A movie to be filmed in... GATLIN NEBRASKA! Have they lost their minds! The well known actor Donovan Morgan, twenty-eight, to be the main star of this horror film... they have no idea! Also staring in this film is Randie Larson, Oliver Boone, and Jenna Sullivan. To start filming tomorrow, and the film's stars are set to arrive today. It's about time the little town of Gatlin had some recognition besides it's horrible past. What are they thinking?"

"I got that paper in Omaha. How can they let them come here?"

"Most people think what is here isn't really here, Kira. They want to believe the kids were all just in a cult, listening to a nut case. They don't want to believe something evil lives here. A movie in Gatlin," Micah sighed.

"So, what are we going to do, brother? Run them off?"

He looked scoldingly at Kira, "And how do suppose we do that? I can't exactly 'run' anything off," he grinned, pointing to his legs that weren't there.

"You know what I mean. We've got to get rid of them. There's no way, with this war, we can baby sit a couple of moron movie stars. Do you honestly know how long it's been since I watched a movie? I don't recognize any of those names, Micah."

"Neither do I. I don't know, Kira. Their due to arrive today. Would you want to do some spying? Snoop around, find out where their staying?"

"There's the Gatlin County Motel. That's the only place there is to stay here. Unless they plan on driving that two hours to Omaha, like I do to get supplies."

"So, would you? Go snooping around? Find out some things?"

"Can I take Fallon and Tommy with me?"

"Go ahead."

"Then I'll go. I'll leave right now, and when they get there, I'll stake the place out. I doubt there's a chance one of us can get close to any of the blue bloods."

"Be careful. You know how he loves outlanders."

"I'll be careful. You keep your eyes open, brother, okay."

"Got ya."

Kira, Fallon, and Tommy all sat in Kira's car, hiden well by the corn, in front of the motel. Where they were hidden was safe, Kira was sure. She was sure they wouldn't be spotted. They only thing Kira was afraid of was that they were going to be there for a while. They had already been there for an hour, and no one had shown. "Probably stayed in Omaha," Tommy sighed.

"You're probably right," Kira agreed, "They're brave enough to make a movie here, but not brave enough to stay here. I would actually be relieved if they decided not to stay here. It would ease..."

At that moment, she saw a bus pulling into the hotel. Nathan O'rayn ran the front desk at the motel. He wasn't on any sides in the war. He favored both... mainly, he favored Fallon on the good side... but she was Tommy's girlfriend, and that wasn't going to change. Kira only hoped that Nathan wouldn't rat the stars out to Gabriel if Gabriel promised him something. That would mean Kira would have to work him over a bit. She hated to do that, since Nathan was kind of likable.

There they were. All of the stars mentioned in the paper getting off of the bus. There was a young man with light brown, almost blonde, hair, and amazing blue eyes. Then there was a young woman with light blonde hair and green eyes, another young man with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, and a young woman with dark auburn hair and brown eyes. Kira studied them. They were not dressed in anything that would ever be seen in Gatlin. In fact, if Kira and the others wanted anything decent, they would have to make a trip to Omaha.

Kira knew these people would look down on any of the people left in Gatlin. That didn't stop her from wanting to make sure they left this place alive. She was angry that they would even attempt to come here in the first place. "Kira, he's cute!" exclaimed Fallon.

"Excuse me, Fallon!" Tommy glared.

"I mean for Kira! He's a doll!"

"Please, Fallon. Stop day dreaming. A guy like that would take one look at a girl like me, and run off. It's happened before," Kira sighed.

Kira turned around and watched them all walk inside, but the young man with the amazing blue eyes had disappeared, "Where is he?" Kira asked.

"Where's who?" Fallon asked.

Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the window. Everyone in the car jumped, and Fallon screamed, "It's them! They've found us, Kira!"

Kira looked out the window and saw the grinning face of the man with the amazing blue eyes. She glared at him, and rolled her window down, "Yes?" she said, a bit harsh.

"How are you? I'm Donovan Morgan. You three must be fans."

"Not exactly," Kira glared, "What do you mean by coming over here and scaring us to death! And how did you even know we were over here?"

"The headlights are on," he smiled.

"I must have hit the switch," she said, upset at herself.

"So, if you aren't fans, why are you hiding?" Donovan asked.

"We're having a picnic," Tommy smirked.

Fallon elbowed him, "Mr. Morgan, we need to talk to you. We didn't think we would be able to get close enough to talk to you, but... we were keeping an eye on you," Fallon told him.

"Keeping an eye on us?" Donovan asked confused, "Why?"

"Fallon's right. We need to talk to all of you. Can we?" Fallon asked.

"Sure. We always make time for fans."

"We're really not fans. I've never seen a single movie you've been in. We're seriously here to warn you," Kira told him.

"About what?" he asked, looking confused.

"About the terrible mistake you're making," Kira sighed, "You and your actor friends, and... Hollywood in general."

"Alright. Come on. We can talk in my room. I'll get everyone together."

"Thank you," Kira smiled.

All the actors stared at Kira, Tommy, and Fallon like they'd never seen anything like them before. 'They probably haven't,' Kira thought.

"Now, what are you here to warn us about? What terrible mistake are we making?" Donovan asked.

"I'll get right to the point," Kira sighed, "If you stay here, you're going to die. The movie you're making... about the horrible things that happened her... you might as well say it's based on all facts. It really happened."

"She's crazy," Jenna laughed, "She's out of her blinking mind!"

"Jenna," Donovan scolded, the smiled, "Why would you say it's real?"

Kira looked angry, "Because it is real! You stay here any longer, and you'll find out!"

"Listen to her," Fallon begged, "She's telling the truth! Gabriel will kill you, or have you killed!"

"Who's Gabriel?" Oliver asked.

"He's their leader, you twit," Tommy glared, "He's the one who told little Natalie Frank to go into my house with her two older brothers, and butcher my father, my mother, and my older sister in their sleep... because they were all over the age of eighteen. Natalie was seven."

"You've had a rough life," Randie sighed, "Is this true? I mean... is this real?" Randie asked, worried.

"Yeah, it's true. He came to us right after it happened. Same with Fallon, Chasity, and Jake. They all lost their parents here. All murdered by Gabriel, and his children of the corn. You've got to believe us," Kira said, looking around at each of them, wondering what they were thinking.

"This is good stuff. We can use this for the movie. Is that what this is, by the way? Are you trying to give us ideas for the movie... in your own little way?" Jenna asked.

"You moron!" Tommy shouted, "I don't care about your movie! I don't care about anything to do with the movie! My parents were killed, and you're making fun of it!"

"Tommy calm down. Go outside, and smoke," Kira suggested.

He looked at her. She could see hurt in his eyes from what Jenna had said. "Fine," he said, taking a cigarette out of his jacket pocket, and walking outside. Kira glared at Jenna, "Don't you ever do that again. Don't ever say anything like that infront of one of these kids again. You will regret it. Now, if you don't believe me, maybe you'll remember hearing about my brother. Micah Balding?"

They all gasped, and their eyes grew wide. Kira smirked, "Ah, I see you have. You can come talk to him. I'm going to warn you, though. He's a little touchy when it comes to this subject. Don't throw all of your movie talk at him, or you'll find yourselves regreting it."

"Why would we venture out to talk to..."

Randie cut Jenna off, "If they won't, I will," she looked around at her fellow cast mates, "I think I believe you. No one would lie about their parnets being killed... nor how they were killed... not like that. I'll come."

"If she's going, I suppose I will, too. I've got nothing better to do," Donovan sighed.

Oliver nodded his head in agreement. "Well, I'm not staying in this rat hole by myself. I suppose I'll come too," Jenna whinned.

"Good. I'll drive my car, and you can follow. Stay with me. If you get lost, you could very well die. I suggest we leave now."

"You're just full of happiness and cheer, aren't you, love?" Donovan grinned.

She glared at him as she got up to leave, "You try living here instead of England, or Hollywood, or where ever it is you live, and fight the war we've been fighting... and tell me how cheery you are. Let's go."
