AN: HELLO! This is the last chapter. First of all, I want to thank you to the people who reviewed. Well, please enjoy.
Chapter Five: You run, You hide, You die
Donna and Eric ran to the garage as fast as they could. They hid inside and Eric shut the garage door. "Okay, let's think," Eric began. "There's GOT to be a way to kill her!" "Yeah, but how?" Donna frantically asked.
Maribeth strolled over to the garage in her cat form. She smiled. Well, well well. I found my prey. Now, just break through the door. Wait, they'll go out the back door…better lock it.
Meanwhile, Eric and Donna were frantically searching for a way out. "What are we gonna do, Eric?" she asked. "I don't know!" Eric replied.
"I can't believe this is happening," Donna muttered. "They're all dead, everyone!" "Well, maybe this wouldn't have happened if you'd LISTENED to me, first!" Eric scowled. "Look, Eric, I made a mistake, okay?" Donna looked down.
"Yeah a mistake that costed our friends' lives!" Eric yelled. "Eric, lets not fight right now, okay? I'm sorry." Donna replied. "Yeah it's not your fault they're dead." Eric sighed. That's when he remembered the back door.
He ran to go open it, when a crash was heard. "Don't bother with that particular door," a very familiar voice said. "It's locked." The voice was Maribeth. She was still human, and she had a devilish smirk on her face.
"Why, Maribeth, why," Donna asked, tears about to roll down her face. "Why did you kill our friends!" Maribeth gave a light chuckle. "Donna, you won't understand," she said. "But I'll tell you morons anyways."
"Long ago, I was royalty. Not in New Hamsphere but in a completely different place. Paris, France." She started. "But you don't sound French." Donna pointed out. "I hide it well, non?" Maribeth asked, her French accent showing.
"Anywho, I was royalty. Until one day a mutant creature appeared in my room. It looked like a mountain lion of some sort. Its eyes were like mine. I was so scared. I backed up into the wall," Maribeth paused. "But it still attacked."
She paced in the garage. "It bit me in the neck, and the scar vanished the next day. I had no idea why it spared me. But now I do." She stated. Eric and Donna were listening, now interested.
"So I started killing people, in my sleep. At first I hated it and had no control over it. But after the first dozen, I began to like it," Maribeth smiled, remembering the warm blood of the French. "The king, my uncle, sent me to America, since I'd killed most of the population off in Paris. That did not help when I arrived here, did it?"
"But why US, why did you choose to kill us?" Eric asked. "Good question. I simply was strolling when that Jackie girl came over and started to talk. She was so irritating!" Maribeth replied with anger.
"Likewise." Donna and Eric sighed. "But you didn't have to KILL HER!" Donna shouted.
"And then, after I met all of you. I knew Eric knew something ws up. So I had to kill all of you in order to keep my secret. One by one, each was fun to bat around after I killed them." Maribeth smiled.
"So you did kill them." Eric scolded. "Yeah, I did." Maribeth chuckled. "But, don't you ever want to stop?" Donna asked. Maribeth shot her an evil glare. "HOW DARE YOU ASK THAT? OF COURSE I DON'T!" she yelled.
Then, the lights flickered off. Only one side, the one Eric was on, remained light in the garage. Maribeth morphed and attacked Donna, just like Eric's dream…
"ERIC! HELP!" Donna screamed. Eric tried to pull her out, but Maribeth was victorious. She ripped Donna's body apart, just like what she did to the others. Then she looked at Eric and smirked.
"Ready to die?" she asked, half growled. Eric backed up a few steps and pounced. In response, just like the dream, Maribeth swatted Eric aside and pounced on top of him.
"Oh shit." Eric mumbled. Maribeth began ripping and thrashing at Eric until he stopped moving. She morphed into human form. "Sweet dreams, Eric." She laughed.
Maribeth walked away, looking at the dead bodies in the garage. When she walked out, though, she was blinded by huge bright lights. "What the hell?" she muttered. It was Red and Kitty. They were home early.
Red got out first, and then Kitty. They noticed the blood all over Maribeth. "What the hell happened?" Red asked. Maribeth got a demonic smirk on her face. "Let me explain it to you," she slowly morphed. "In a funner way than talking."
All that was heard were screams of pain. Maribeth had slaughtered Red and Kitty, then morphed to human when the police came.
"What happened here, ma'am?" an officer asked. "I wish people'd quit asking me that." Maribeth sighed. "Then maybe I wouldn't kill them…"
A/N: I'll let you imagine what happens to the police officers. And the rest of Point Place. Sigh Well I hope you enjoyed the short story. You all must know by now how much I love horror, so I'm gonna make another horror story, no doubt. I hope you liked this one and like many more to come! Thank you for taking the time to read this.
