Chapter Eight: Murders and Makeover and Movies, Oh MY!
Another week had come and gone and still no sigh of help but more of the dead coming by to the store. It was a warm night when two men were stumbling up to the roof after hours of drinking and smoking pot. They were told by another person to go up to the roof because their laughing and smoking was making her four-year-old daughter sick.
"We were not that loud" a man who was in his mid twenties said "huh Davie"
Davie couldn't stop laughing or stop tripping over his own feet "no Justin, that lady said we were making her little brat sick from the pot"
"Pretty soon the little pest will be as high as us" Davie said and they burst out laughing as they reach the door to the roof.
"Hey do you have any more of that stuff" Justin asked
"A little bit more, good thing I'd stole this from Brandon before those zombies things tore him apart"
"Oh yeah . . . Brandon . . . shouldn't do one of those one minute of silence thing for him"
"Sure why not" Davie said
The two friends stood there for a minute before bursting out laughing again. Davie stopped when he saw someone else on the roof mumbling something to herself.
"Who's that" Davie asked
"I don't know, maybe she's up here to smoke too" Justin said
They walked over to the girl who was talking to herself with her curly hair covering her face.
"Hey girl, what are you doing up here, talking to the dead" Justin asked and he and Davie started laughing again.
"Yes" she said with no emotion in her voice "they're my only friends"
The two boys looked at each other and snickered "riiiight, so what are you telling them" Davie asked
"That my name is Jenny and why are they eating people" she said
"Really, and do they talk to you as well" Justin asked as Davie hold back his snickering
"Yes" she said "they told me that they would let us go freely if we give them something in return"
The men started laughing again to a point where they can fell their vomit coming up. "And what's that" Davie asked
Jenny jabbed Davie in the stomach causing him to gasp in pain. He thought was punch and found it hard to believe that this chubby girl was strong. Yet he felt something warm and thick running his stomach. He looked down to see Jenny pulling a knife out of his flesh.
"They need sacrifice" Jenny said
Davie fell to his knees, clutching his stomach to tried to stop the bleeding but it was pouring out of him . Jenny slowly turned her head to Justin, who was shocked.
"They Need Sacrifice!" Jenny shouted pointing the knife at him
Justin took a step back, too high and drunk, he wasn't able to focus right. "Take it easy, girl"
"SACRIFICE!" Jenny shouted as she charged toward the guy.
Justin headed to the door but sadly tripped over his own two feet and fell to the floor. Before he had a chance to get up, Jenny stabbed him repeatedly in the back. Justin was barely alive as he was dragged over to the edge of the store.
"I give you our sacrifice" Jenny said then push Justin off the roof.
She grabbed the flashlight she brought with her and point it to the parking lot. She spotted the zombies eating the body she offered to them then pointed to Davie who was struggling to get to the door. He was crawling with one hand pressed against his wound , leaving a trial of blood. He turned his head and saw Jenny walking toward him with the bloody knife.
"Please, don't!" he begged with blood running out of his mouth.
She raised the knife and stabbed him in the shoulder then in the back. She dragged him over to the edge and pushed him over then stood there hearing the noises of the dead. She stood there still feeling so...
Empty . . .
I sigh angrily because my brother didn't want me to go on top of the roof while he and the other men of the store were cleaning up a bloody mess. It seems that these boys name Justin and Davie had a 'few' beers and pot then committed suicide on the roof.
(And it had to be on the day we were going to have a cook out, oh well, another day of eating sandwiches and warm soda) I thought.
I heard someone walking by and I thought it was Matt, which I told him I wasn't in a good mood and needed an hour of Me-Time, but he was in the electronics with Jason. I looked up from my book I was reading called "The Stand" by Stephen King and nearly let out a growl when I saw Shelly flirting with Marc again. I also noticed that Marc started limping again, why do I have a feeling he not taking care of that gun shot wound on his leg.
While Shelly was talking about the summer she spent in Paris, Marc looked over and waved at me. I tried to smile and waved back then continue reading. What does he see in those type of girls I'll never know.
"You like him, don't you"
I nearly jumped on my two feet and looked up to see Meredith and her friend Sandy smiling.
"Where the heck did you two come from" I asked trying to calm myself down.
"On we were just walking around and saw you staring at the guy with the girl and literally saw fire burning in your dull eyes" Meredith said
"And it was obvious that you like the guy and jealous because he has his eye on a girl . . . who looks like a girl" Sandy said
"If you haven't figure it out yet, I am a girl and I'm not jealous about Shelly being with Marc"
"Yes, you are"
I looked to my left to see Matt drinking a warm soda "what is with you people sneaking up behind me like that" I said "I am trying to read a book"
"Ever tried to talk to him" Meredith asked
"No" Matt said
"Matt don't answer her question for me" I said "and I don't have time to talk to him, now leave me alone"
"Well, we have all the time in the world now and since you save our lives, we're going to help you" Sandy said
"Help, like it what" I asked
"By giving you a Makeover!" They said jumping up and down.
"A what!" I shouted
"A makeover to make you look like a girl" Meredith said
"It will help grab his attention and start up a conversation" Sandy said
"Oh no, wearing makeup and girl clothes is that last thing I'll ever do" I said "and beside what wrong with the way I look"
They stared at me and Matt looked away drinking his soda "what that trick question" Sandy said
"Oh come on, you can trust us and watch, you'll see after we are done with you, you'll look all nice and pretty" Meredith said
"No! Now if you excuse me I have to go bother my brother to see if the cleaning was done on the roof" I said walking up
"This might be your last chance trying to talk to Marc" Meredith said "since we are in a store with dead people outside"
I stopped dead in my tracks, as much as I hate to admit it she was right. We don't know how long we have left in this store but I'm not going to be eaten alive without Marc noticing me. It'slike what I heard on TV one time, desperate time cause for desperate measures.
I growled "fine, I'll have this little makeover but tomorrow I'm going back to the way I was" I said
They scream in joy but Matt was looking at me like 'who-are-you-and-what-have-done-to-my-friend'
An hour and lost dignity later...
"Bianca, we been waiting for twenty minutes, get out of that dressing room" I heard Meredith said
"I am not coming out, I look silly" I said
"But I thought you like blue" Sandy said
"I said black and a little bit of blood red" I said
I sigh as I looked at myself in the mirror, and I was shocked to see that I looked like . . . a girl. My hair was wash, brush, and put up in a nice little style, I was wearing makeup and jewelry and perfume. A tight blue shirt that had a picture of a flower on it with blue jeans shorts and two inch high sandals.
"Bianca, I like to go play videos later so will you just come out" Matt said
"Alright, just don't laugh at me" I said opening the door.
It must've been shocking cause Matt spitted out his soda and dropped the bottle but Meredith and Sandy were just smiling.
"See I told you, you would look nice " Meredith said
"And you actually have a figure" Sandy said
"Oh shut, I can't believe you trick me in to doing this" I said taking one step forward before falling on my face.
"Ooh, we still need to get use to those sandals" Sandy said
"A little help please" I said then Matt help me up "ok, now if you don't mind I'm going to go talk to Marc"
"Can we go" Meredith asked
"No" I said
"Can we least get a thank you" Sandy said
"No" I said "bye"
I didn't find it surprising that they didn't curse me instead they just said "you'll thank us later bye"
After grabbing a first aid kit (something told me I might need it later) we started walking to the electronics. As we were walking to the electronics, which was now a bedroom to my brother, Matt, Marc and me, we past by the magazines where Richard and Steven were at. They hardy showed their faces around anymore after that beating they got from my brother and Matt. They just sit there reading or playing with their game boy and eat junk food.
"Hey assholes" I said
They look up and Steven started choking his launch and Richard jaw dropped. I wanted to snicker because they still had cuts and bruises from the beating all over their faces.
"Fat Girl?" Richard said speechlessly.
"Don't ask" I said slowly walking off trying not to trip with Matt following me making sure I didn't fall down again
"Well" I asked
"Well what" Matt said
"What do you think about my new look" I said "and I want you to be honest?"
"I like the old you" he said "but if you really like Marc, I'm not going to argue with you"
I stumbled over again but kept my balance then spotted Shelly walking from another direction with a sandwich on a paper plate.
"Hey Matt, I need you to do me a favor" I said
"What"
"I need you to distract her for a little bit"
"Fine I got nothing else to do" Matt said
As soon as Shelly was close enough I shouted "race you to the electronics"
Shelly stopped only to let Matt crash into her causing her to dropped the food on the floor. "Oh, you stupid little boy, look what you did" she shouted at Matt.
"Sorry but don't call me little boy" he said
"I'll call everyone who is younger then me little, now 'little boy' you're coming with me to make another sandwich for a special someone" she said
Matt looked back at me and mouth the word please to him. He gave me a look saying you own me one. "I'll help you if you stop calling me little boy"
"Fine, come along 'little boy" Shelly said
I waited til the coast was clear then walked over to the electronics and down to where the CD players were to see Marc sitting down on his home-made bed reading a Mad Magazines.
"Hey Marc"
He looked up and nearly jumped from my new look "Eric's little sister?" he said "what happened to you"
"I was attack by two girls who wanted to try a makeover on me" I said
he laughed "and you lost"
"No, I was bored"
"Oh, what with the first aid kit" he asked
"Well . . . I saw you limping . . . again and I thought I should check your wound since my brother is busy" I said blushing
"Well. It has been bothering me lately"
I sat down next to him and checked his wound "you dummy, you haven't been cleaning it" I said
He gave me a confused face "when you don't clean it, it can get infected" I said pulling out a rag and a bottle that help clean wound "this might sting a bit"
I place the rag on his wound and he hisses in pain then laughed a bit "you're right it does sting a lot"
"Stop being a baby" I snicker as I clean up his wound. "It looks like the bullet went in deep than I thought. " I said
"So what's with the new look" he asked
"Well, everybody wanted me to look like a girl and all day when people look at me they either drop something or spit it out, why"
"Well, I gotten use to the old you, that's all" he said "I mean you look nice but deep down this isn't really you"
"Thanks" I said wrapping a new clean bandage around his leg "all done"
He smiles "thanks"
"Your welcome" I said standing up "and don't worry this is only a one day thing"
He laughed again "I'll see you later Marc" I said
"ok then see ya, Bianca" he said
I was shocked. He actually said my name. I turned around smiling and walked off to find Matt. I walked past the storage room I stopped to see my brother standing there like he's seen a ghost.
"What wrong" I asked
"Who are you and what have you done with my sister" he said
"Shut up" I said "this is only for a day so don't get use to it"
"Ok, just tell me when my real sister is back" he said
I gave him a cold stared then started to smear off the lipstick.
Later that Night . . .
"Let see soda" I said
"Check" Matt said
"Popcorn"
"Check"
"Movie"
"Which one"
"I told you, we're gonna watch the Inuyasha movie" I said
"But I think we should watch Spider-men, those anime cartoons make you act funny"
"But tonight is my choose" I said
"Yeah but this 'little boy' had to help Shelly make a sandwich for your boyfriend, you own me"
I sigh "fine put it one, the effect would look awesome on fifteen TV sets" I said
"So what's tonight's movie" I turned around to see my brother sitting down next to me. Then all the other coming over to sit down and watch the movie.
"Spider-man" I said
Everybody sat down eating their favorite junk food. For once I felt like I was at my house, relax and safe and with my family.
Unaware that deep in the dark side of the store, Jenny was looking at her bloodstained hands, listening to those voices in her head believing it was the dead talking to her from behind the window.. .
