:Alicia:

October 3, 2013

The Pretty Committee sat at Table 18 during the lunch hour talking about the usual boys, gossip and LBRs. Alicia had just gotten 500 gossip points for telling the girls about Meena and Heather being a couple. It was definitely gossip worthy and Alicia loved every second of it. She relished gossip.

"Ewmagod, so Meena and Heather are like...lesbians?" Massie asked.

"Yup," Alicia responded with a smile.

The table went silent for a second as each girl had disturbing images run in their heads.

"EWWWW!" They chorused.

The other girls in the cafeteria turned their heads to see what was going on at Table 18. Alicia rolled her eyes and Massie death glared everyone to stop staring. Alicia leaned in close to the table.

"I say we tell everyone right now. Then we can watch the drama unfold," Alicia suggested.

Massie liked this idea. She gave a smirk and looked around the cafeteria. Everyone looked so happy, including Heather and Meena. She loved it when Alicia brought news that could destroy someones happiness. Massie turned to Alicia.

"Would you like to do the honors?" Massie asked, gesturing to the table.

"I sure would," Alicia smirked and got on the table.

She felt power surge through her. She had never announced in front of the school during lunch hour before. This was her moment.

"May I have your attention!" Alicia yelled over the noise.

The girls in the cafeteria died down and they all looked up to see Alicia standing on the table. Alicia basked in the moment of attention and stayed silent for a second as she looked at each girls face. They were curious as to what The Gossip Queen had to say.

"Since everyone knows me as The Gossip Queen, I have some news worthy of your ears. Heather and Meena have been seeing each other...in secret. Oh...sorry Heather and Meena, I totally forgot you two lovers were here," Alicia said with fake concern.

The girls in the cafeteria turned to look at Heather and Meena who were standing by the entrance to the bathroom. The two dropped hands the moment everyone turned to look. The girls in the cafeteria burst into laughter and pointed fingers at them. The Pretty Committee girls joined in, even Claire!

Heather and Meena both looked super upset and awkward at the same time. Neither of them knew what to do. Finally, Heather spoke up.

"Alicia Rivera, I hope Karma bites you in the ass!"

Alicia scoffed and rolled her eyes. She didn't do anything wrong. If Karma was going to come after anyone, it was those two queers.

***...***

That day after school, Alicia plopped down on her bed as soon as she headed upstairs. She was so tired from the days events that she didn't want to do anything except sleep. Ah to sleep, perchance to dream. As she closed her eyes, Alicia found herself drifting into a deep sleep. She usually had very sweet dreams, but something was different this time.

She ran down the dark abandoned streets, trying to run away from whatever was chasing her. She didn't look back, for fear that it would catch her and bring her down. Alicia finally ran into a cemetary and hid behind a tombstone. Her chest was heaving as she tried to catch her breath. It was the first time that she had ever run.

As she sat down on the grass in the cemetary, she looked heaven words to the moon and saw crimson red replace the pure white of it. The moon then shifted shapes into that of a skull.

"AHH!" Alicia screamed and bolted upright in her bed.

She shook her head of the strange images that danced in her subconscious. What was that all about? Shaking her head again, Alicia got out of bed and stripped off her clothes and headed into her bathroom and into the shower. She couldn't stop thinking about that dream. Why had that moon looked so different all of a sudden?

As she washed her hair, Alicia heard noises in her bedroom. She instantly assumed that her mother was putting away her clothes in the closet. Finally, finishing her shower, Alicia wrapped herself in the fuzziest bathroom she had and stopped out. She came up to her foggy mirror and wiped it all away to get a look at herself...only she couldn't see herself in the mirror!

"What the..." Alicia cried out and turned away from the mirror.

Maybe she was still tired from her nap. Maybe she was just seeing things. Turning back towards the mirror, she found her reflection staring back at her and she sighed in relief. For a second, she thought she was going crazy. Suddenly, her reflection disappeared again! Alicia backed away from the mirror and quickly left, stepping into her room.

Looking at her room, the latina found it a disaster! Goodness, she didn't make that mess and she definitely knew that her mother would never ever mess up her room this badly. Alicia felt fear pierce her heart as she feared that someone had climbed through her window to steal her jewelry. She did a search to see if anything was missing, but nothing was. Sighing, she headed for her closet to pull out some clothes.

She chose her high-waisted Ralph Lauren jeans along with a bold red Ralph Lauren cut-out long-sleeved shirt. Putting on her bra and panties, she dressed in her clothes and went back to her closet to pull out a pair of her ballet flats. As soon as she reached in to grab them, something popped out at her.

"AHH!" She screamed and fell backwards, landing on her butt.

Standing right in front of her staring, was a small brown bat. What was a bat doing in her closet? She whimpered and tried to scamper away, but the bat screeched and she froze in place. She stared, wide-eyed at the bat.

"Princess, don't be afraid of me. I'm here for you," The bat spoke up.

Alicia could only stare at it in shock. There was a bat...in her room...talking to her. Was this some sort of joke?

"No, this is no joke. You are not who you think you are, Alicia Rivera." The bat replied, as if reading her thoughts.

Alicia finally found her voice.

"Who am I? What do you want?" She questioned.

The bat just shook its head and lifted its wings.

"All will be revealed on the night of Halloween." He replied and he took off out the window.

***...***

October 31, 2013

Alicia had forgotten about that stupid bat weeks later and focused on the Halloween party that The Pretty Committee was holding. The girls were all at Massies mansion putting up black and orange streamers, setting out snacks and putting up other decorations. All day, Alicia had been feeling really weird and her back had been aching something terrible. The pain shot out from between her shoulder blades. She kept complaining about the pain and not wanting to decorate anymore.

"Ewmagod Alicia, stawp complaining already. God, you're worse than Heather and Meena when we tortured them this morning at school," Massie explained, hoping to shut her friend up.

Pouting, Alicia plopped herself onto the couch.

"Whatever." She said and pulled out her cell phone to text her boyfriend.

After decorating, the girls all went up to Massie's room to change into their Halloween clothes. Alicia was going as a vampire so she wore a beautiful black and red floor length dress that revealed some of her cleavage and the long sleeves were covered in black lace. It made her look very scary and she loved it. Putting in her plastic fangs, she turned on Dylan and clamped her fake fangs on her neck.

"You are mine!" Alicia joked.

"Ew Leesh, get off of me!" Dylan screeched with laughter.

Shrugging, Alicia got off of her friend and fixed her dress. Running her long nailed fingers through her sleek raven hair, Alicia was ready to rock the night away.

"Okay, rating time!" Massie said and the girls got into a line.

"First up is Dylan. Dylan is dressed up as her favorite video game character, Lara Croft. The blue halter top and shorts really compliment her figure and the gun holsters on her hips make her look even more bootylicious. Her long red hair is in a ponytail braid. Dylan is definitely living up to the sex icon name," Massie continued.

"9.8!" The girls chorused.

Dylan smirked and went back to her spot.

Next up was Kristen.

"Kristen is dressed up as a female version of Sherlock Holmes. Complete with a long brown trench coat and magnifying glass, Kristen is definitely ready to solve any crime. The brown slacks and white long-sleeved shirt make her look both sexy and conservative." Massie announced.

"9.6!" The girls agreed.

"What do I need to change?" Kristen asked.

"Ditch the glasses and put on your contacts. You'll look even hotter," Massie suggested.

Kristen went to do so.

Claire was next. Massie and Alicia's' eyes widened in surprise.

"Kuh-laire is dressed up as Supergirl in the short blue skirt and shirt with the S symbol. Her long blonde hair looks nice and flowy, giving the effect that she has been flying around. On her feet are the red leather boots that she borrowed from moi." Massie spoke.

"9.8!" They agreed.

"YAY!" Claire said and spun on her heels. She loved being a high rating.

Massie was dressed up as a dirty devil and the girls gave her a 9.9 rating. Alicia was finally allowed to go. She was given a 9.9 as well for her choice.

"Okay, let's get going. The guests are starting to come in." Massie said and one by one, the girls left her room.

***...***

Alicia and Josh held each other as they danced to a slow song. The moment was perfect as the two shared stories about how school was going. Some time during the dance, Alicia felt the pain returning back to the space between her shoulder blades. She winced in pain, but tried not to let Josh see her discomfort.

"Hey Leesh, are you okay? You don't look comfortable," Josh said, feeling concerned.

I'm fine Josh, I'm just a bit sore that's all." She replied.

The song ended and they headed back to the living room where The Pretty Committee and Briarwood Boys were.

As they all continued talking, Heather and Meena walked past them, trying to be discreet as they held hands. Seeing this, Alicia found a window for an opportunity.

"Hey Heather, is it true that you're seeing Layme Abeley behind Meenas' back?" Alicia asked.

"Wha..." Heather gasped.

"Oh don't lie Heather, we know you're interested in other girls." Massie joined in.

The girls all laughed and continued to make fun of the poor girls for their strange relationship. Heather and Meena turned to look at Alicia who had obviously started this whole thing. Both of them seemed very angry with the latina beauty and they both approached her.

"What? Do you have a problem against gays?" Meena asked, getting in Alicia's face.

Alicia got out of her chair and stood up to face the two.

"Uh yeah, of course I do. It's disgusting and wrong. You two should go die in a hole," Alicia spoke haughtily.

That didn't make the situation any better. As Heather and Meena both made a move towards Alicia, Alicia felt something strange overcome her. She wasn't sure was possessed her do to it, but she suddenly found herself on top of Heather, sinking her fangs into the girl.

"Uh Leesh, plastic fangs are meant to make you look like a vampire. Nawt make you act like one," Massie explained, rolling her eyes.

Heather had stopped screaming in protest and Alicia finally took her fangs out of her neck. Satisfied, the young latina got off of Heather and tried to pull out her fangs to go clean them off. Except...they weren't coming out.

"What the hell Leesh? Look what you did to Heather!" Claire cried, pointing down at the girl.

Turning around, Alicia gasped as she saw Heather...lying in a pool of blood...dead. Alicia was speechless. She didn't do that, did she?

"Ewmagod, you killed Heather! What kind of person are you?" Massie shrieked, causing everyone to turn and see what was going on.

"I...I didn't...I was just..." Alicia stuttered, confused.

The pain in her back was searing and she clenched her teeth tightly to will herself not to cry out. What was going on? Why was this happening? Massie shoved Alicia aside and the girl fell to the floor.

"You're a monster!" Massie yelled.

"No I'm not!" Alicia argued and got to her feet.

She suddenly gasped and looked past Massie, at the wall that held mirrors on it. She couldn't see herself...in any of them. Alicia felt herself pale and she pointed at the mirrors. Massie and the others turned to look at them.

"What? That's just our reflections...wait a second..." Massie said, observing the mirror.

There was Claire, Kristen, Dylan, Derrick and Massie all staring in the mirror. But none of them could see Alicia's' reflection! Something weird was going on here. Cam came out of the kitchen carrying to pieces of garlic bread with him, one of which he handed to Claire.

"Here, I got us some food," He replied, handing it to her.

"Yum, thanks." Claire said and looked at Cam.

"Hey, what's that around your neck?" She asked.

Cam pulled out a chain that was hiding under his shirt to reveal a cross. Alicia suddenly felt herself in more pain than she could imagine and she screamed out loud. She knocked away the garlic bread from Cam and Claire and ripped off the cross necklace around Cams neck. She chucked the necklace away.

"Dont' wear that! It's evil!" Alicia snarled.

Kristen who had been silent this whole time, finally spoke up.

"Ew...ma...god. Alicia is a vampire!" Kristen concluded.

Everyone turned to look at Alicia. Alicia finally understood what was going on. Her reflection not being there...the need to kill Heather with her fangs...the garlic and cross. It definitely all said vampire. Everyone started to get weird looks in their eyes and they all slowly started to approach Alicia. She knew where this was going. She had to get away.

"Burn her at the stake!" Someone called out.

And with that, she ran out of the door, hoping to escape the mob that started to form.

***...***

Alicia had never run so much in her life. She had to get away from the students that were coming after her. They all held flaming torches in their hands, lighting the path ahead of them to see where Alicia was going. Alicia kept running, her skirt bunching up around her ankles as she ran. The pain in her back was excruciating, but she pressed on.

She had to go somewhere that no one else would enter on Halloween. She had to hide...there! Just up ahead was the Westchester Cemetary. Looking back at her pursuers, Alicia took a deep breath and ran into the cemetary.

"Stawp! I am nawt going in there...especially at this time of year," Massie explained to everyone.

They all mumbled their agreements. Massie decided that they would wait until Alicia got too scared to stay in there and run out. Then they would snatch her.

Inside the graveyard, Alicia finally collapsed by a row of tombstones. Her chest was heaving from running and she couldn't stand the pain in her back anymore. She needed to get rid of it somehow.

When she finally calmed down, Alicia had that same strange feeling overcome her. Something dark and furry flapped close to her and a small bat landed on the tombstone just in front of her.

"You again! What do you want?" Alicia demanded.

"Look up towards the moon," He told her.

Alicia questioned this. She was so scared and confused. She didn't know what was going on. But if this crazy bat had answers to her questions, she was going to listen. Looking up at the moon, the latina was mesmerized by it. The clouds surrounding the moon engulfed it into darkness. A cold feeling ran through Alicia's veins and the pain in her back was searing. She clenched her teeth tightly as she felt something rip away the skin between her shoulder blades.

"AHHH!" She screamed loudly, causing the mob at the entrance to look up.

Massie and the others gasped. On the grassy hill in the cemetary, they saw Alicia throw her hands upward towards the sky. Not only did they see that, but they saw large wings grow out from her back. The sight itself was eerie, even as the wind picked up and threw leaves around wildly into the air. A wolf's howl was heard somewhere in the distance and everyone gasped in fear again.

After screaming for what seemed like an eternity, Alicia finally stopped and looked back up at the sky. The clouds disappeared and the moon looked just like the one from her dream. It was crimson red and it had morphed into the shape of the skull. Alicia felt the skull shaped moon sear into her brain and she finally got to her feet.

She was hungry...and not just for food. No, she was hungry for blood and she was going to get it. Seeing the mob just at the entrance to the graveyard, Alicia gave a smile, showing her obviously real fangs. She now knew what and who she was. She was a vampire. And not just any vampire at that. She was a princess of the underworld and she was going to live up to that.

With her new wings, the vampire flew down upon the mob of her old friends, ready to taste their blood.

***...***

That next morning, everyone in New York was glued to their televisions. There was very disturbing news that had gone nation wide.

"On the night of Halloween, about a dozen students both from Octavian Country Day and Briarwood were all found murdered just outside of the Westchester Cemetary. The killer not only killed these unfortunate souls, but also another victim at a party earlier that night. There are no witnesses to any of these crimes. Police advise everyone to lock their doors and windows and have set up a curfew no later than eight o'clock at night."

That night, Alicia flew above the city.

She was hungry.

And not just for food.

She wanted blood.


That just made a chill run down my spine. How about yours?
