Chapter 2: The Legend
An: The couplings range through out this fic because of character death.*grins evilly* just a few that I think must go. Oh and I own nothing, not even the story of Bloody Mary. Now this leads to the poll on my profile. Well enjoy the chapter.
The students, as decided by the school board would not be trapped in school. Some of the teachers mentally groaned hoping to make them do a lot of work at college level. The students however sighed in relief
"So anybody have plans for tonight?" Takato asks the tamers and Tai.
"Nope" the all respond.
"I have an idea!" Tai says.
"What is it?" Rika asks, raising an eyebrow.
"A big story telling sleepover in honor of Halloween."
"Sounds like a good plan, Tai. Maybe your sister, her friends, your friends, Takuya, his friends, and mine could come?" Takato says.
"Sure. I don't see anything wrong, but you have to call Takuya." Tai laughs.
"Fine." Takato says begrudgingly.
The bus ride home was uneventful except for the lightning flashing across the sky in a bright blue that sent shivers down half of the students.
"Mom, Dad, I'm home!" Takato shouts.
He looks on the fridge and finds a note. It says,' Takato,
We are on our way to the airport for a business meeting. Dinner's in the fridge if we don't get home in time for dinner. If you have any questions or want to know how we are please call our cell phones.
Love,
Mom and Dad.'
Takato grins like a Cheshire cat.
'Time to call Tai, Henry, and Takuya.' he thinks while dialing the numbers.
"Hey Tai, I'm home alone so I was wondering if we could have that party tonight."
"Yeah, but it has to be at your place. I'll be there with my sister, my friends, and her friends at 7pm." Tai replies.
"Okay. I'll call Henry and tell him to tell the others."
"Okay. Mushi Mushi, Takato."
"Mushi, Mushi." he hangs up the phone and call Henry.
"Henry, the Halloween party we were talking about in class will be tonight at seven. Will you tell the others?"
"Sure thing, Takato."
"Thanks, Henry."
"Mushi, Mushi." he responds and hangs up to call the others.
Takato slowly dials Takuya's number. He answers on the first ring.
"Hello?" Takuya asks.
"Hey Taky, do you and your friends want to go to a party I'm, having tonight?"
"Sure." He responds.
"See you tonight at 7pm."
"Mushi, Mushi."
Takato hangs up and gets the chips, drinks, and loft all set up for the party. He glances at the clock.
"6:30pm" He mutters, climbing up the stairs to get dressed.
30 minutes later, he headed down stairs slowly and the door bell rings. He opens it to reveal his friends, Tai's, Takuya and his friends on the porch.
"Come in guys." He says.
They go upstairs to the loft and set their things up.
"Alright guys do I have a story for you."
"What is it Takato?" his guests ask.
"The legend of Bloody Mary." he says in a mysterious voice.
"It was October 31st, 1956. A young blond named Mary was getting ready for the school's dance. Her boyfriend, Derrick, was going to be her date for the evening. He got there at 8pm, an hour later than he promised her.
'You're late.' was all she said to him. He just shrugged not caring. They got to the school without an incident.
'Want to dance.' Derrick slurs. Mary shakes her head smelling the beer on him. When no one was looking he dragged her to the corner and tried to rape her. She tried to fight him, but he was too strong for her. Derrick pulled out a sharp steel knife and stabbed her in the heart, slit her throat, arms and legs.
He stuffed her into a plain wooden box. The following day the police found her body, but no one caught the killer. No one cared, so Derrick got away with it.
Her ghost is said to appear before a person when he or she says, 'Bloody Mary.' 5 times, in the bathroom looking at the mirror. You will see her reflection, even though it's pitch black. Something bad will either happen that night or a few days later." Takato ends his tale as the power goes out.
"Is that even real, you goggle head!" Rika exclaims.
"Yes, it is." he calmly replies.
