Title: FireLight Horrors

Author: lainey-bo-bainey

Chapter Title: Little Timmy


Dim sky, lit moon, rustling trees, cold breeze, warm fire; once again, it's just another Friday night. But this time, it wasn't raining anymore; apparently, the storm just last week had past and they were now, all around the warm fire, forming a circle. Peace was a really nice thing in this type of scenery; everything seemed quiet, the place was dark and its only source of light was the warm fire. No one else was there, and the place is completely isolated from socialism. If you think about, looking around it's the best place to think. No one else would bother you; you're just inside the woods with a trail barely anyone passes through. It was truly peaceful and nice… especially since she was a bit early and no one else is still here

"Hey Hinata!"

That was until, the 24/7 open mouth came.

"Oh, h-hey Naruto…" greeted back Hinata, who was currently sitting on a log, with a sketch book and paper in hand.

"Whatcha doin'?" Naruto asked loudly, skipping towards Hinata and soon sat beside her, tilting his head.

"Just drawing…" Hinata said simply, looking back down at the sketch pad she had upon her lap.

"Drawing what?" Naruto asked curiously. Not even waiting for an answer, he automatically lunged towards the sketch book and stared at her drawing. "What the heck is that?"

"Your surroundings Naruto, environment…" Hinata told as she motioned her hand around for Naruto to see. She had drawn the blowing trees, cold breeze, dark shadows and the things around her. It wasn't a painting but a drawing, specifically only in grayscale. But even so, it was gorgeous. She had placed nice and detailed shadowing of every space and object. Blending was another style she had used.

"It's kinda pointless, don't you think?" Naruto asked, "I mean, there are other tons of stuff you can draw that are even more interesting. Like maybe… me?"

From Hinata's soft thin lips, she gave out a small but audible laugh. "Y-yes Naruto… drawing you would me easier…" she told, "b-but I wanted to draw something harder and just a bit more challenging; or something that I'm interested in…"

Naruto's wide smile turned into a frown and then eventually a pout. "Am I not interesting?"

Hinata once again gave out a small laugh and turned to look at Naruto, "Oh yes you are, i-it's just… this was what was around me at the t-time I started…" she explained.

"Oh…" Naruto nodded slowly, "either ways, it's beautiful! It's totally awesome Hinata!"

With the compliment, Hinata blushed but with a satisfied smile found on her face. "Th-thanks Naruto…"

"It's gorgeous!" Naruto exclaimed once again.

"Naruto, not so lou-"

"Like YOU!"

Hinata blushed even more, "U-um… th-thanks again… N-Naruto…"

"Awww… no need to stutter Hinata; it's true! But you're free to blush, I think it looks cute for you…" and he grinned once more, causing Hinata to look away. She was about to say something when she was interrupted by familiar voices.

"Oh my gosh, Naruto, what the heck did you do to Hinata?" asked a voice, with what seems to be his pink haired friend's. It came from behind the now-rustling bushes; causing both Hinata and Naruto to face where the noise was coming from.

"Yeah…" agreed another voice, "You like, turned her into a tomato…"

Then, a snicker was soon heard. "Stop your flirting Naruto…"

Naruto pouted as he figured out who had currently spoke, "I'm not flirting, bastard…" Sasuke, who Naruto addressed as 'bastard' soon came out of the bushes with a rather large navy duffel, hanging on his right shoulder; his hand was placed gripping the black handle for support so that not all weight would go upon his shoulders.

Then eventually, Sakura appeared along the trail, from the darkness, along with Ino. They both greeted their 'hellos' and 'heys' to both Naruto and Hinata and sat down upon a log. Sasuke too, headed towards a beach chair that was set up across from where Sakura and Ino were sitting. He dumped his bag carelessly upon the ground causing a thump due to its weight. Sasuke then took a seat, slopping down the chair and leaned back, followed with a heavy sigh. Naruto watched his along and caused him to stare at the raven-haired boy and raise an eye brow at him.

"Dude," he called out, "What's with the over-weight luggage?"

Sasuke sighed one more time, "It's a sports bag, you idiot"

"For what?" Naruto asked curiously, "Mind telling me why it's so heavy?"

"We had soccer tournaments today; so did our volleyball team, which includes Sakura and Ino. They dumped all their stuff in my bag"

"Oooh… harsh…" Naruto commented, "I feel for you, man"

"How is that harsh? You insisted, Sasuke." Sakura stated.

"Yeah… you forced me to" Sasuke stated simply.

Sakura paused and thought for a second, "I did?" she asked and Sasuke nodded. "Ooohhh! I did… who cares; you did it anyway." She stated and Sasuke glared.

There was a bit silence after that when Naruto broke it, "GUYS! Have you seen Hinata's drawing? It's awesome!" he yelled and quickly snatched the notepad from Hinata and held it up for the rest of the group to see. Sasuke only cocked an eyebrow while Ino held her laughter because of Naruto's goofiness. Sakura on the other hand, smiled and turned to Hinata,

"Cool Hinata, Naruto really loves it…" She said causing Hinata to blush.

Hinata shook her head in embarrassment and tried to change the topic, "Um, w-where's Ten-Ten and the others?" she asked.

"On their way," Ino stated, "They still went to school to see the scores of the tournament; we headed straight here"

"Oh…" Naruto slowly nodded his head, and then soon turned to face the blushing Hinata, "Why didn't you join any team?"

"C-cuz I was already joining Arts and Drama," she stated, and turned to face towards Sakura, "which you didn't come to our practice early this afternoon"

Sakura forced a smile, "Sorry… we had a game… I was excused and I'll catch up in my free time."

Hinata shook her head, "It's fine… So how'd the game go?" she asked.

Then, as if on cue, Neji, Ten-Ten, and Shikamaru appeared on the trail, walking towards them. "Crap! We lost! ARGH! That was like… cheating! Ah!" screamed a pissed-off Ten-Ten as she stomped towards a beach chair and sat down, along with Neji and Shikamaru.

Hearing this, Sasuke turned to where Shikamaru and Neji were sitting, "We lost?" he asked in disbelief.

Shikamaru shrugged, "Yeah… badly… the score's 19-15. We're fifteen…"

Sasuke groaned at their lost but a snicker was heard from Ino, "You guys suck…" she commented, "We won… didn't we?" she asked, turning towards Sakura in the process.

Sakura only gave out a questioning look, "I dunno… Ten-Ten, who won for volleyball?" she asked as she turned to Ten-Ten.

"Hm…" Ten-Ten thought for a moment, "It was 21-16 for whole game, including yesterday's one."

"Burn!" Sakura exclaimed on Sasuke's face, "We won! You guys suck!"

"Excuse me, soccer's harder than the sport where all you have to do is slap a ball" Sasuke stated. "Besides, controlling a ball by your feet is harder than controlling it by your hands; since you have more control on it than your feet."

Sakura thought for a moment, "Good point," she stated. "Although if I were you, I wouldn't have pick a sport where I suck… you'll just get laughed at."

"I don't suck at the sport… my team was the one that sucks" Sasuke stated which earned a glare from both Ten-Ten and Neji; Shikamaru, however, only sighed and muttered 'troublesome' under his breath.

"You such a jerk…" Ten-Ten commented.

"No, I'm not… you just literally suck" Sasuke snapped back.

"Whoa! Cut it out!" Neji said at Sasuke.

"Well either ways," Sakura interrupted, "We still rule… anyway, shush your loud mouths people. Who's turn tonight?"

Hinata raised her hand, "Mine…" she stated and gently placed down the sketch pad she had been holding. Then, all eyes and ears were one Hinata as she continued once again.

"My story for tonight is titled, 'Little Timmy'"


In the story

9 o'clock at night in downtown couldn't be anymore busier; especially on a Friday night. City lights were glowing, making the supposedly dim sky turn to something like a disco floor. Everywhere you turn, every corner you look, is all lit by different and various lights and city advertisements.

Due to the number of people this night, either walking or driving around the streets, there were a number of police that were sent to supervise just in case. In the places such as highways, they've stood up a check-point to see who among the drivers were drunk; just to be safe since there are a lot of people.

Back in the busy city, one of the police officers was driving around the area, checking if everyone were doing just fine. Out the corner of his eye, he caught some teenagers vandalizing a back wall of a building just along its back alley. The police officer parked its car on one side and went out to head to the bunch of teenagers. Getting closer, he called out "Hey! Hey! You teens shouldn't be doin' that!" hearing this, the teens took a quick look at the officer then ran away to the other side of the alley. The officer sighed as he stopped running, "typical teens'' he thought to himself and stopped in front of the wall the teenagers had just painted on,

"Darn those teenagers…" He cursed, "Paint sprayin' on walls again…"

He looked towards the dark alley where the teens ran towards to. It was no use running after them since he was an old man; those teens were probably more capable of running long distance without having a heart attack than he is. He shook his head in disagreement and turned around towards his car. Walking towards the car, he decided to walk around instead of driving; for at least, he could get fresh air.

While strolling around the streets, a little boy selling newspapers had caught his eye.

"Newspapers! Newspapers! Only for 50 cents!" the boy called out.

The officer walked towards the boy. He was probably around the age of seven or eight but he couldn't tell. The boy turned around to face him and gave him a small friendly smile, "Would you like to buy one, sir?" he asked.

The officer, taking a little pity about the boy, gave out a forced and unsure smile; "Um… sure…" he stated as he reached down his pocket and got 50 cents.

"Here" he told, stretching out his hand with the 50 cents in it. The boy brightened up as he gladly took the money, "Thank you, sir!" he exclaimed as he took one of the newspaper as held it out for the officer who took it.

"Yeah… sure, kid…" the officer said and started to walk back to his car with the newspaper in hand. Heading for the police car, his walkie-talkie started to make rustling noises, and then a person's voice was audible.

"Yo, Sam, you there?" the voice called out; though, it was barely hearable through all the static.

"Yeah, what is it?" called out the police officer who's name was seemingly 'Sam'.

"We need your help over here… some drunk driver, I dunno…" said the voice with laziness found in it. Sam the officer sighed, "Roger…" he spoke at the walkie-talkie. Finally reaching the car, he through the newspaper carelessly inside it and headed to wherever he was asked to.

Minutes later, after dealing with the drunk driver found somewhere downtown, the officer came back, once again, to the car. He stood there for a couple of minutes, looking around and examining the environment around him. He didn't quite see the little boy anymore.

Speaking of which, he suddenly remembered the newspaper he bought earlier. Seeing as there was nothing else around to do, he opened his car and got the news paper. He closed the door and leaned back on the car while the newspaper was in his hand.

His eyebrows furrowed a bit as he scanned the newspaper. Its articles are all mostly about the little boy who sold him the newspaper; and much specifically, it was mostly about…his…death.

"What the-?" he murmured reading fast through the newspaper, then he shook his head, "What's this all about?" and closed the newspaper and went inside the car.

After starting it, he drove down the newspaper factory, hoping to find out if the news paper article was indeed true. It couldn't be, he thought. How would a dead person sell him a newspaper? All alive and well?

He parked in front of the factory, just along the streets; and went in to look for the head worker. Finally seeing him behind the counter, the police officer head towards him and asked one simple question he'd been willing to know.

"Do you have a newspaper seller? About this tall, and just a little boy?" he asked curiously.

The head worker though for a while, rubbing his temples in the process, "Oh you mean little Timmy?" he asked finally breaking the silence, "I'm sorry sir but… you see, he passed away"

The officer only nodded as a motioned for the worker to continue, "I had always told him to look both ways before crossing the road, even if he's on the pedestrian but he still won't listen to me. It's a bad habit of his, you know. So one day, he crossed the road then, a truck went by and crash… it hit him… smashed his bones to pieces I heard… especially his skull,"

Sam, the officer, got startled by this information, knowing that the boy really did die, "B-but… that little boy… he's the one who sold me the newspaper!"

The worker shook his head, disapproving, "Maybe you were just tired, officer" he stated, "or maybe… hallucinating a little…"

"Yeah I just probably was…" the officer agreed quickly, "Thank you" he said then headed out the factory.

He shook his head, while heading for the car- currently parked just a few steps away. It was probably just an illusion or maybe just some little kid who looked exactly like the one in the picture of the newspaper.

'What was I thinking? I was only seeing thing… just a little coincidence…" he thought, as he shook his head along the process.

But as he neared to his car, his heart started beating faster than the normal rate, as a though came to him, "Was I really seeing things?" he asked himself mentally.

His hand trembled as he reached for the car's door. He paused and swished around, seeing an empty street with now one around. He sighed, 'I'm getting paranoid' he thought to himself and soon shrugged the thought.

"Good evening, sir!" exclaimed a rather familiar voice. Sam froze as shivers went up and down his spine. He slowly turned around and there… he saw little Timmy. He held up a copy of the newspaper he sold to the cop, "See this?" he asked, "I made it myself!"

All the cop could do was stare, as a supposedly dead boy was standing right in front of him. Everything around him felt so hot as his ears started getting warm; his ears seemed to block the sounds around him and all he could he was his heartbeat, racing.

"B-but… you're dead; I-I thought you got hit by a truck. Then they said your head got smashed to pieces…"the cop stuttered, causing the little boy to look at him weirdly as he tilted his head to one side.

"My, my…" Little Timmy chuckled, "where did you here that story? Those rumours" he shook his head and turned to walk away.

But as he did, the cop noticed something. There, right as the back of Timmy's head, was blood flowing all over. He had a huge gash right across his head with black flowing blood. Then, little Timmy stopped on his tracks and turned to face the stunned and speechless cop.

When he faced Sam, his clean face just about ten seconds ago was gone, and now it was covered with blood like that back of his head. There was a small hole found just on the right most side of his forehead as blood flowed down between his eyes, right upon the sides of his nose, down to his pale white cheeks. Then, Timmy stared at the cop with eyes so sly and wide open, with gashes around its corners. And he opened his mouth to speak.

"Seeing is Believing…"

End of story


"Whoa… that's cool…" Ten-Ten commented.

"Thanks…" Hinata replied.

"WOOOHOO! That was awesome Hinata! I love it! In fact, yours was the best while all the others' suck!" Naruto yelled, forgetting that all the others were there. Then, Shikamaru cleared his throat and turned to look at Naruto as if saying 'we're right here, you idiot…'. Naruto, getting Shikamaru's message, slowly turned around to see the others who were glaring so badly at him. Then, he forced a smile, "Eheh… that was not what I meant. I was just-"

"Whatever…" Sasuke stated as he reached for his backpack and took out a brand new silver digital camera with navy blue linings on some of its edge. This caused Sakura to stare at him,

"Where'd you get the camera?" she asked curiously, "Itachi's?"

"No…" Sasuke simply stated, "My parents bought me a new one. I wanted one, they gave me one; simple."

Sakura stared at him, "You're such a spoiled brat…you know that?" she commented, causing Sasuke to look up from the camera he was adjusting as his dark onyx eye fell upon the pink-haired girl; as he stared at her with lazy eyes.

"And I'm hearing this from a girl who has her own laptop, iPod, MP3, GameBoy Advance XP, PS 1&2, CD player and a bunch of CDs; watches a movie every Saturday, and gets a shopping spree worth 3000 dollars a month" Sasuke scowled, "Look who's talking…"

Sakura glared at him; "Me… now shush…" she ordered and shook her head as she got the camera from Sasuke's hand with no trouble.

"What's the camera for?" asked Neji, who was currently sitting on a log, they all were.

"We need a picture of Hinata and Naruto…" Sakura simply stated.

"You… snuck up on us and now you're just saying it in front if Naruto and Hinata?" Shikamaru asked.

"A bit…" Sakura said with a smiled. She was about to add something else up but she was cut short by Sasuke.

"We just thought that they weren't pretty hard-headed as you guys were. So why take it the hard way when you can just ask…"

"He was a point…" Ten-Ten agreed, nodding; causing Neji to glare at her, which caused her to sink at her seat.

Sakura stood up and headed towards the side where Naruto and Hinata were. "Smile, guys!" she exclaimed as Naruto quickly placed his one arm around Hinata's neck, and then, he plastered a huge goofy smile right across his face. Hinata, on the other hand, struggle a bit but managed to smile when the camera flashed.

"Cool." Sakura stated and stood up; she headed for Sasuke's position and threw the camera at him; which he caught with ease, only by extending a hand towards the camera to land upon his palm. Sakura, then faced the other four who just simply watched in silence; "See? That wasn't so hard…"

"Uhhhh…" Ten-Ten started, seeing as there was nothing to say, "So you guys going next week?" she asked, trying to change the topic.

"Going where?" Neji asked, turning to face Ten-Ten.

"Remember? Outdoor Ed.? Our entire batch will be coming except for those who want to be left behind stuffed up with loads of work…"

"Oh that… yeah, I think I'm allowed…" Neji replied.

"What Outdoor Ed? What are you guys talking about?" Shikamaru asked, slightly confused.

"Outdoor Education; didn't Sir Kakashi told you that?" Ino asked.

"No" Sasuke stated.

"He's always late" Sakura said, "Late in class, late in fashion, late for information. So whenever he's late, his whole class turns out late too…"

"C'mon Sakura, think about it this way: 1 will always be ahead of 2. Maybe that's just the way the school's system goes…" Ino said, earning a questioning look from Sakura.

"Wha-? Ok, where did '1 will always be ahead of 2' come from?" she asked.

"Uh…" Ino sighed, "What I mean is our class. You guys are division 2, we're division 1; 1 comes first than 2… see?"

"Oooohhh! I get it! Sheesh, I thought you've mentally become psycho… I mean, I actually thought you told me a well-thought-out quote…" Sakura joked, earning a glare from Ino.

"Just because I'm blonde, doesn't mean I'm stupid. I'm higher than you in Science."

"I'm higher than you in Math."

"Math Freak!"

"Science Geek!"

"Shut up!"

Both the Freak and the Geek turned to where the voice came from. There they saw an enraged Sasuke. "Shut up, both of you. Now, could what's the Outdoor Ed all about?"

"Nothing… just… you know, it's like camp. But then it's still school since still have our subjects. We just do it outdoor and we have this new subject about outdoors…something like that…" Ten-Ten explained.

"How long!" Naruto screamed for no particular reason.

"I dunno… three weeks, I guess… that'll take up most of May…" Neji stated.

"That is was long…" Sakura stated.

"Well, we get to go home in the weekends. We sleep there wherever we'll go in the weekdays but we'll go home in the weekends… it's only a 3-hour drive…" Ino said.

"Cool… when is it?" Naruto asked.

"Next week…"

"So that means…" Sakura thought for a while, "We'll just do our stories there! That's cool…"

"Hn…" Sasuke stated as he stood up, "Let's go home… see you guys tomorrow…"

"Hey Uchiha, wait up… my things are still with you…" Sakura called out as she stood up and caught up with Sasuke.

"Alright…" Ino agreed as she stood up too, along with the others. They packed their stuff, cleaned their mess up and put out the small fire.

"Hinata!" Naruto called out, "Could I walk with you!" he ran towards Hinata, then accidentally tripped, falling on top of her. "AAAHH! I killed her! AHHH! SORRY!"

Sakura only groaned. "Urgh… you such an idiot." She told and walked towards Hinata to give her a hand.

"SHE"S ALIVE! I'm Sorry, Hinata! I didn't mean it! Are you okay! Are you alright! Are you hurt! Are you-?"

BAM!

"AH! Ino, what was that for!" Naruto asked, rubbing his forehead.

"I dunno…. I just felt like doing it…" Ino grinned. She was already near the trail.

"N-Naruto, are you okay?" Hinata asked, with concern. Haha…

"Awww… it's okay, Hinata! I'm fine just as long as you're fine!" Then he childishly hugged Hinata, which caused her to struggle breathing.

"See? You're okay! You're not dead! And-" Naruto paused when he noticed the evil and deadly glare Neji was giving him. "I'M DEAD! I'M DEAD! I'M DEAD! I'M DEAD! I'M DEAD! I'M DEAD! I'M DEAD! I'M DEAD! I'M DEAD! I'M DOOOOOOOOOOMED!" he screamed as he ran away, his figure slowly disappearing in the trail.

"Weird…"
