CHAPTER THREE
THE DEVIL'S HERE
"So I start on Monday?" Red asked. "Yes. We can't wait to have you here Mr. Forman." Mrs. Hartburk said. "Of course." Red replied with a smile. "Okay now we have to go to our cabin! Hahaha!" Kitty laughed. Eric and Donna were tensed at the sound of a cabin in Montana. They didn't even like being in that state. The family got in the Vista Cuiser and headed off. They were heading towards the woods. "Oh God, dad are you sure this is where our cabin is?" Eric asked. "Yep." Red replied. Eric was totally freaked out. They got to the cabin with ease. It wasn't too far in the woods, not as far as Eric's last visit to Montana. They were setting up the rooms when someone knocked at the door. Eric went and answered it. When he opened the door he screamed. It was Laurie. "Shut up, little brother." she snapped. "Oh GOD! Now the devil's here? I thought this trip would be safe!" Eric gasped. Laurie rolled her eyes. "Laurie? What are you doing here? I thought you were in Hawaii." Red asked his daughter. "Well some girl called from this cabin and told me to get down here. Her voice sounded annoyingly familiar." Laurie replied. "Donna," Eric looked at the redhead teen. "Did you call Laurie?" "No." Donna replied. "Mom," Eric called. "Yes, Eric?" Kitty called back. "Did you call Laurie?" Eric asked. "No, dear!" Kitty replied. Donna and Eric exchanged looks. "You don't think..." Donna whispered. "Nah, she couldn't have, it's impossible." Eric replied calmly. "Well, she told me to go to the basement here. So I'll be back in a moment." Laurie shrugged.
She went to the basement to see noone. "Hello? Did someone want me down here?" she called. "I did." someone said. It was a girl. She walked into the light, and Laurie gasped. It was Jackie. "I-I-I thought you w-were d-dead?" Laurie stammered. "Oh, I'm not. Long story. Just help us out here." Jackie growled. "U-US?" Laurie asked. "Yeah, I'll explain later. We're trying to kill Eric here." Jackie said. "I'm NOT killing my brother!" Laurie yelled. "Oh, but, Laurie...you don't have a choice in the matter." Jackie snickered. Her eyes turned solid black. Laurie went into s trance of some sort. "Now," Jackie started. Her voice was darker. "Help me kill Eric." "Yes...Jackie..." Laurie replied. Jackie went back to normal, and Laurie, while still under Jackie's control, LOOKED normal. She struted upstairs. "Laurie are you okay?" Eric asked. "I'm fine, my sweet little sibling." Laurie cackled. "Uhh..." Eric kind of lost his voice. "D-did she just call you sweet?" Donna laughed. "Yeah...she...did..." Eric gawked.
Meanwhile, down in the basement, Jackie and Fez were talking about their new plan. "So, do you think Laurie will succeed in killing Eric?" Fez asked. "No. My strange new power is only temporary so she'll either snap out of it before she gets a chance or something like that." Jackie replied. "Damn, how'd you get a power?" Fez wondered. "Probably 'cause I came out of the ground first." Jackie laughed. Fez shrugged, "Let's hope Laurie DOES kill Eric." "If she wants her life, she will." Jackie frowned. "What will we do until we know?" Fez asked while sitting next to Jackie on an old, dusty counter. "I guess just sit here." Jackie replied. Fez put his arm around Jackie, who wasn't too pleased by the act. She pushed him off of the counter and into the floor.
Laurie told Eric to go outside with her and talk. She had a knife in her purse, ready to kill. "So little brother," she said while reaching for it. "how are ya'?" She got her hand on it and almost pulled it out. "ERIC!" Red called. "Yeah?" Eric called back. "Come in here for a second!" Red shouted. Eric went into the cabin. "Damn." Laurie mumbled. Jackie appeared in mid air. "What the hell!" she shouted. "I-I'm sorry, I'll kill him next time." Laurie said, her head down. "Alright, you better!" Jackie scowled. She disappeared.
