Story 135: Spooky Night

Date: 8/10/2010

All the friends were gathered around a campfire one night. Joey, Yugi, Tea, Tristan, Duke, Serenity, Rebecca, and Mai. They were all sitting in a circle on logs. There were four tents behind them.

"Let's tell spooky stories," Mai suggested.

"No way!" Rebecca shouted as she wrapped her arm around Yugi's. Yugi looked a little uncomfortable.

"Are you scared, Rebecca?" Joey teased.

Rebecca shook her head.

"Okay then. I'll go first," Duke said. "Once upon a time a sister, brother, and mother used to live here in these very woods together in a cabin. And one night the mother went out to find some water but something unexpected happened…"

"What happened to her?" Tea asked nervously.

"Well, she heard a noise," Duke began. "The noise sounded like wings in the sky. It didn't sound like a bat nor an owl. It sounded bigger. So she started hurrying gathering some water in two big bottles. She was terrified. Then something landed next to a tree. It was too dark for her to see. Before she had time to scream…it was too late…"

"I'm scared, Tristan…" Serenity whispered.

"Hey cut it out, Duke. You're scaring Serenity," Tristan said spitefully.

Duke shrugged. "The story is supposed to be scary,"

Yugi urged Duke to go on.

Duke began again. "Okay. The brother and the sister waited hours for their mother's return but she never showed up. Then the brother decided to go look for her while the sister stayed in the cabin. The sister stayed in the cabin for over three hours and her brother hadn't come back. She started to worry,"

Duke glanced at everyone. They all looked scared to death, except for Mai. She looked annoyed.

"Did the brother die…?" Rebecca asked shakily.

"That's a mystery…" Duke replied.

Rebecca squeezed Yugi's arm tighter.

"Okay let me continue," Duke said. "Alright then the sister heard a loud banging on her door. She knew it wasn't her brother or her mother. So she locked herself in her room and hid under the covers in her bed. She hears the banging again. She closes her ears and cried. Then it stopped. That's when she heard her door creaking open-"

Someone screams. Everyone looks at Joey.

"What? It's scary…" Joey whispered.

Duke just shook his head. "Okay, then she saw a dark shadow loom over her from underneath the covers. Then the sister, brother, and the mother were never to be seen again. The end,"

Joey fell off of the log in shock. Everyone was staring at Duke with their mouths wide open.

"What?" Duke asked. "Next,"

Yugi shook his head. "Okay…no more scary stories for tonight, guys,"

"Yeah, I'm getting pretty spooked…" Tea says as she scoots closer to Yugi. Rebecca glares at Tea.

"Who wants marshmallows?" Tristan asked.

Everyone nods. Tristan gets up and goes into one of the tents.

"Did you guys hear that?" Mai asked, suddenly.

There were some scuffling noises in the bushes. Joey screams like a girl and jumps into Duke's arms. Duke drops Joey onto the ground. Then Bakura suddenly came walking out from the bushes.

"Bakura?" everyone exclaimed, surprised.

Bakura had a backpack on his back. "What's up, guys?"

"What are you doing here, Bakura?" Yugi asks.

"I got your message, Yugi. You said you were going camping. Sorry I'm late though," Bakura said.

Everyone signs in relief.

"You had us scared there, Bakura…" Tea says as she put her hand where her heart was.

Bakura settles down next to Tea. "Did you guys tell scary stories already?"

Tristan comes out of the tent with a marshmallow bag. Then he spots Bakura. "What's Bakura doing here?"

Bakura just shrugs and takes his backpack off.

"Hey Duke. Was that story true?" Serenity asked hopefully.

Duke shook his head. "Of course not,"

Serenity nods. Then everyone starts eating marshmallows. That's when they heard a scream out in the forest. Everyone stared into the forest with terrified looks on their faces.

"Please tell me that was you guys…" Joey said shakily.

Everyone shook their head.
