Anna POV
I saw a head jump out at us and roar at us. The head though was completely covered in long, black, lanky hair. It was the Grudge.
"Arrgh!" yelled Zack as he jumped back, flinging his arms out in an attempt to protect us.
I screamed and gripped Alex's hand. I could feel myself shaking more and yet my body seemed paralyzed, I couldn't move.
"Noooooooooo!" yelled Alex, flinging his arms around me, trying to protect me.
"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Jack in a very high pitched, feminine tone. Then all of a sudden he legged it away from the room, and down to the other end of the landing. He was still screaming like a girl as he ran.
During all our screaming and yelling, I noticed that the head began to shake and then I noticed the body attached to the head. It was all black and it's shoulders began to shake.
My eyes widened as I watched what happened next.
"PHHAA! GOTCHA! HAHA! YOUR FACES! Oh my god!," roared Rian with laughter as he took off the black wig and came towards us.
"Man...your...faces...I...wish...I…had...a...camera!" Rian only made out words as he cracked out in hysterics, tears of laughter rolling down his face.
Zack quickly composed himself and swore every single curse he knew at Rian.
Alex still had his arms around me and managed to get out,
"Rian. Not. Fucking. Funny."
I had stopped shaking and my heartbeat returned to normal.
"Rian, you are so dead." I glared at him to emphasize my words.
Jack had stopped screaming and walked back to us. After eyeing Rian to make sure that there was no "Grudge" he stomped off to his room and slammed the door while shaking his head.
"Your Faces!" howled Rian, still laughing like a mad man.
~x~
After the whole incident had died down, and Rian had stopped laughing we all went in to my room and collapsed on the floor or in mine and Alex's case, on the bed.
"Okay you got to agree, that was pretty good," Rian grinned.
We all sent him death stares.
"C'mon, Zack I've never seen you look so scared, Alex your face was priceless, Anna you looked ready to crap yourself and Jack, well Jack looked liked he'd already pissed his pants!" recalled Rian as he broke down in to laughter again.
"You better be able to get that red stain out of my carpet, or I swear to god," threatened Zack.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, it'll wash right out," assured Rian.
"Hey Rian, what was that red stuff?" asked Alex.
I was expecting him to say paint.
"Ketchup," answered Rian, popping the 'p'.
Zack looked ready to rip Rian's head off.
~x~
It had just turned one am in the morning and everyone had gone to their own rooms.
Me and Alex were lying on the bed, and Alex was already falling asleep. I could feel him snoring lightly and I smiled.
The happy moment was spoiled when I felt a familiar, yet unwanted feeling. I sighed and closed my eyes.
Gently wriggling out of Alex's warm embrace I headed for the door. Cracking the door open, I stuck my head out into the hallway to check it was all clear.
There was no one in the hallway and everyone's lights were out accept ours and Rian's.
I crept out of my room and carefully shut the door behind me. I stepped in to the bathroom and closed the door. Turning around I walked over to the toilet.
Kneeling down I could feel the cold emanating from the cold tile floor. Ignoring that, I rolled up my sleeves and put two fingers down into my mouth.
I held that position for a bit, wondering why I had to keep resorting to this. Why couldn't I stop?
I knew it was too late now. Forcing my fingers further down my throat, I could feel my dinner coming back up. I removed my fingers and let myself be the monster I had created.
During this I remembered that I hadn't locked the door, but it was too late. I looked sideways in to the bathroom mirror and saw Rian standing behind me. A look of pure concern and fear etched onto his face. I closed my eyes and mentally swore.
Didn't you just love this chapter? Because I did. I mean, it's sad at the end, but I loved it.
