Ok, here's chapter 3. Sorry about the wait, but I have been busy working on New Member of the Order.
Hope you enjoy the chapter! =)
Chapter 3
Star was transfixed. She could have sworn that Fenton's hand disappeared, but after a week of careful inspection and borderline stalking, she hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, though he was still just as jumpy.
Not only was she transfixed, but she was frustrated. The feelings she had for Danny were still there and her curiosity about him was still present. Star kept on trying to forget the about the clumsy teen, but her teenage hormones told her that she loved every single detail about the boy, including his clumsiness.
Star was walking home from school, wincing every so often as she stepped on her injured leg. She'd injured it in the middle of one of the many attempts at the cheerleader pyramid.
Star hobbled in anger, still seething over how she had gotten injured.
When the team was in the middle of practicing the pyramid, Paulina thought that it was a good time to answer her phone, when she was the one in the corner of the pyramid!
Paulina stepping out from the pyramid was the catalyst of the disaster. Right when she stepped out of the pyramid, everyone started to fall from all directions...Star had been at the top.
'Seriously, Paulina can be so brainless sometimes!' Star thought furiously.
'But did she do it on purpose?' Star wondered.
When the coach of the cheer team had chosen Star to be on the top of the pyramid, the look of pure of hatred that Paulina speared into Star frightened her beyond belief. 'Maybe she was jealous?'
And as Star thought it over she just thought it was plain ridiculous that the queen bee of the school would be jealous of her. I mean, she knew she wasn't as good looking as Paulina but could she actually make the queen threatened by her?
Could it be that Star was becoming the queen herself?
Star continued to think it over and then just found shook her head, thinking that it was just ridiculous to think like this.
Star continued to hobble and limp her way back home, she was nearly halfway when she heard a crash come from the alley up ahead.
Star stopped mid-step, clearly disturbed by the unusual noise. She shook her head in disbelief. 'It's probably just a cat or something'
She took a cautious step forward, still afraid even when logic told her that there was nothing to be afraid of.
She went in front of the corner, peeked her head around to quickly inspect the alley. She looked over the dark, dirty alley trying to find the source of the noise. Other than the large amount of garbage lying all over the pavement, she found no trace of anything making that loud crashing noise.
So Star started to walk again. 'Man, I'm jumpy' Star thought
Just as she took another step something green had come up from the ground. Star stood shocked as she stared face to face with a 7 foot tall octopus. But this wasn't a natural octopus, for one octopus's don't glow, they don't have flaming tentacles, they did not float, they don't have red eyes staring murderously into someone's soul and most certainly do not have carnivorous teeth threatening to bite Star's head off.
Star hobbled back in shock, not able to breathe. She quickly turned and tried to run, but with her injured leg she was much slower than she could've been. She heard the monster octopus hiss deeply behind her, making her move faster.
She started to hop on one foot as the pain in her injured leg became too much for her. She felt the monster practically breathe down her neck, and instead of the normal heat you'd expect from a monster, Star felt a spine shiver from the frosty cold emitting from its mouth.
She turned to check how far away she was from the monster. She gasped and nearly screamed when she saw the octopus was only a foot behind her.
Star turned too fast and tried to keep balanced, but fell onto the concrete below.
She hissed in pain as she landed on her leg, but that was the least of her worries. She held her breath not daring to move as the monstrous octopus inspected her.
At closer inspection of the octopus she noticed how the beast had some sort of green slime dribbling out of mouth. The red eyes of the monster were soulless and showed no mercy. One of the many tentacles extended itself towards her.
Star started to hyperventilate as the tentacle touched her midsection.
The tentacle shot freezing cold into her chest, it felt almost like an ejection of pure arctic cold into frail body. Tears came to her eyes and she started to scream in fear as she was lifted off the hard concrete, now completely in the beast's grasp.
Star continued to scream, hoping that someone, anybody would save her.
"Hey ugly! I'm sorry to say, but she doesn't want to be your date for the formal!" Someone echoed from the side.
The octopus was suddenly hit in the side. It sailed through the air and literally went right through the building wall, as though it had phased through. Star fell hard into the concrete, scraping her exposed arms and legs. She got up slowly trying to find any sign of the monstrous octopus.
"You OK?" Someone said from behind.
Star quickly turned around, finding the source of the voice.
Before Star was a young teenager in a black and silver hazmat suit. His whole body gave off a glowing aura of mysterious power that Star couldn't explain. His hair was completely snow white and his eyes glowed neon green. He had a look of concern as he kneeled down, lending a hand to Star.
Star graciously took the hand but suddenly let go, feeling the similar frostbite like cold emitting from his hands, just like the octopus's tentacle.
"Ah, cold!" Star exclaimed.
The boy just stared dumbly at his hand, wondering what he had done.
Star desperately blew on her hand trying to warm it up. Once her hand was relative warm again she looked up to find the boy who had rescued her, but found that he was nowhere to be found.
"What the heck!" Star whispered to herself softly.
She got up and looked around the area. Her whole body was now battered and bruised from the day's events. She looked around for the mysterious boy and monstrous octopus but found that they were both gone.
'No way was that real' Star thought in disbelief.
She looked down at the hand that grabbed the boy's hand and noticed that it was still red from the cold. She also noticed the same redness around her chest, right where the octopus had grabbed her
She continued to walk home, her mind awhirl at the strange supernatural events accruing around her.
Oh my word! Star has seen Danny's ghost half! *gasp*
