" OMG Laurie you look like death warmed up are you okay did you sleep at all " Asked Lindsay 2 days later looking at her exhausted looking friend as they drank coffee in the kitchen
" Oh I'm fine you know me I guess just busy you know with Christmas almost on us and that been a non stop rush really getting everything in their must be an easer way oh maybe next year I will start getting ready for Christmas at the end of the summer then I will be organised " Said Laurie yawning and fighting to keep her eyes open as all she wanted to do just now was sleep
" Well what ever that's up to you I guess but you look if you haven't slept in days are you sleeping okay and how is Jamie I remember you saying she had nightmares " Lindsay said in a worried tone
" I'm fine and yeah Jamie is fine too she has the odd bad dream and that but as you can see she's okay I guess " Said Laurie then paused a bit and sighed
" Laurie Strode are you telling me fairy stories I have known you since you I started high school and I think your hiding something from me come on now we're good friends and a friend is meant to help the other so spill what's up and you look like a zombie if you haven't slept in days if I can help you I will that's what I'm here for " Said Lindsay touching her friends hand as Laurie sighed deeply
" Yeah okay I guess you know me better than I know myself oh the usual you know really I don't wanna bore you " Laurie sighed sipping her coffee
" Nightmares about Michael Myers I take it then okay so what's going on what has he been up to this time ..? Asked Lindsay
" oh lots of stuff I dunno but I think he is back here in Haddonfeild I keep seeing him or at least I think I do and I dream that he is trying to kill me and Jamie worst was the other night when he sexually assaulted me and Jamie just stood their and watched she was linked to him also in the dream she had that mark on her wrist like he does and she just stood their watching him kill me then they walked away hand in hand I when I woke I had to check to make sure it was a dream it's a vicious cycle I try and stay awake to avoid the nightmares and I get so tired I fall asleep I just don't know what to do really " said Laurie sighing
" Wow are you sure were talking about Michael Myers here and not Freddy Krueger and what kind of mark has Michael Myers got a birthmark what kind i"m hoping to study Birthmarks as I want to get into the business of cosmetic coverage using make up to hide birthmarks " Lindsay said
" Yes we're talking about Michael Myers maybe he is a nightmare on Elm street fan as he is using Freddy"s tactics I don't know but I want that creep out of my dreams and out of my life and Jamie's for ever and no it's not really a birthmark it's a symbol that appeared on his wrist looks like a small tattoo a triangle flag look have you got a pen I will show you " Said Jamie taking the pen from her friend and drawing the cult of Thorn symbol on the corner of the newspaper
" Wow looks like the banner of our old school soccer team but their logo was in the triangle " Said Lindsey pointing to the middle of the triangle
" Yeah it kinda does the symbol is ancient as the cult itself centuries old from the Druid times in the dark ages and it's still strong today Michael is a high up member and they all have that symbols tattooed on their inner right wrist including Michael when they tattooed him I don't know really look I really think you should read Loomis book I was not gonna let you see it thinking you wouldn't understand it as it is very heavy reading but it explaines the cult in depth plus about the others who were like Michael over the centuries and the curse has hit this family before an ancestor of ours was a mass killer he was hung but he didn't kill as many as Michael has but I think you should read it anyway also Loomis is bringing out a new book next summer he's still writing it just now called the Curse of Michael Myers as he believes their are reasons behind his madness I say he's just sick and evil and their is no reason for it but Loomis thinks their is and he's crazy at times he scares poor Jamie and I don't like him in the house I well I just want her to have a normal life like any other kid really not living in content fear all the time " Laurie said as Lindsay put the book in her bag
" So are you still coming to the Christmas play and that then take your mind of Michael Myers for a few hours and Jamie will enjoy it also the Christmas funfair is here in the outskirts of town we could go take Jamie I'm sure she'd love that " Lindsay said smiling and changing the subject
" Oh I don't know I have a lot of things on really and I was never one for funfairs I get sick look at the time on the Walzers when we were kids in school that summer omg I won't forget it poor Lynda and Annie they didn't forget it too and Annie's brand new jeans too " Said Laurie thinking back to the time she was sick on the ride all over her 2 friends as the ride jerked them about and soon screams of delight turned to screams of Ewwooo Laurie gross
" Oh they were fine and Annie got the sick out of her pants I later heard but things might be different now you might be able to go on the rides without being sick now your older you were only 14 or 15 back then and has Jamie ever been to a funfair ,? Asked Lindsay
" No not that I know off I really don't know " Laurie said
" Well their you go it will be fun and just don't eat anything like hot dogs or Cotten candy or funfair food or anything before you go and that way you won't be sick as you will have nothing in your stomick to bring up so no flying puke " Lindsay said with a laugh
" Oh God your so charming Linday " Said Laurie with a half laugh
Lindsay stayed for a further hour and Jamie joined them too but it was just small talk as they didn't mention Michael Myers around her so they spike about the funfair and Christmas and Jamie said she had been to a funfair with her foster family in their old town they went to a summer county fair
As the Trio sat chatting happily their was suddenly banging at the door and the doorbell being rung as if someone was desperate to get in
" Wow wow hold on I'm coming im coming gimme a second " Laurie yelled getting up and heading to the front door followed by Lindsay and Jamie who were curious to see who it was and when Laurie opened the door she got a shock it was Loomis on the doorstep his face pure white in fear and he was shaking if he was scared of something and desperate to get in
Well that's that chappy done more to come
