The Uprising
-Pay attention to the dates, they always change.
Date: October 31, 2079 Time: 11:45
"I can't believe we're actually doing this." Kathy said tugging on her shirt. She was biting her lip so hard I was sure that if she bit a little harder her lip would bleed.
"Come on baby, your not going to let little old Casper the Ghost scare you, are you?" I asked patting her leg.
She exhaled a shaky breath and nodded before unbuckling her seat belt. "You are holding my hand the whole time okay Arty, just in case something actually does happen in this house."
I nodded, turning my car off before getting out. The cold wind made a trail of goose bumps up my arm and I glanced over at Kathy, happy that at least one of us was smart enough to bring a jacket along.
"You, you, you, the man of the hour, my Arty boy!" My best friend Jamie got out of the car, stumbling the whole time as he did his best not to spill his beer.
"Do you know how long I have waited for you! To finally get you butt out here so we can meet," Jamie puts one of his fingers to his lips before leaning over to whisper into my ear, "The ghost!"
I push him back, smelling the alcohol that reeks from his body. I hear a car door slam shut and giggles, Marylee has just stepped out of the car, her too caring a bottle of beer to her chest.
"What a dump! Why would a ghost want to live here? This place looks like the house from hell!"
"It's old, I've seen picture of this place though. My mother says it was beautiful in the early 2000. The people that lived here were very rich." Kathy says looking wearily at the house.
I pull Kathy closer to me, Kathy had always had a thing for history. I always joked around with her about how when we had grandchildren one day that she would always be going on about back in the day stuff.
I didn't know if right now it was her historian side that was making her say this to Marylee, or the fact that she is scared she might offend the "Ghost." Jamie choose the ladder.
"Oh come on Kathers! Look at this place! It's a dump! The ghost has to know this, anyways what is she going to do? Start throwing knifes at me if I make fun of her." Jamie mocks, wiggling his eyebrows.
"You're a slut! A whor! Go to hell! Haa haa!" Marylee yells while tears trickle down her face. "GIVE ME THE BEST YOU GOT GHOST!"
Before Marylee could continue her drunk rants another car's headlights pulled into the old foyer.
"About time! I want to get this party started already!" Jamie says. Loud music breaks the silence until soon it's turned off and Lauren, Derek and Annie step out of the car. Lauren is holding the Ouija board, Derek with more beer and Annie with candles.
"Candles?" Jamie asks glancing over at Annie when really all I think he was doing was trying to see her breast which wasn't such a hard task.
Derek groans, "I already told that chick that we don't need any candles but you know what she said? That's how we call the spirits."
Annie shrugs, "Well you do. No candles, no ghost."
I had never been close to Derek, Lauren, Marylee or Annie. All they did was smoke, do drugs and drink, but they were Jamie's new friends. Jamie had changed a lot over this summer, he no longer was the golden boy that did all his homework while taking the beautiful cheerleader out to prom. Instead he was now a leather jacket, cigarette holding rebel that could be found at the back of the gym making out with his next girlfriend. Unfortunately, unlike him I hadn't changed at all and was still the same all A's boy.
He was still my best friend though and with friendship takes selflessness and yeah, I sure as hell didn't really want to go in this old, rotting mansion, do shots and play with a stupid board game, let alone take my girlfriend to this place, but of course I had to be a good friend and stop being a wimp, so well, here I am, and so is Kathy.
"Let's go already it's about to start raining." Lauren says as she walks up to the old house. The old wood creaks as she steps up onto the porch. We all follow. Kathy grips my arm harder and I glance down at her.
"You alright?" She nods but doesn't loosen her grip from my arm.
"Yeah, I guess I am. I know there isn't anything as ghost but still. . ." She shudders and steps up onto the creaking wooden porch.
"Who's going in first?" Marylee asked as we all huddle close to each other on the small porch.
"I don't care but one of us should open the damn door soon or this porch is going to cave in with all our weight on it." Derek says leaning against the railing. He glances around at all our faces before his eyes land on me.
He grins. "Hey Arty boy, why don't you and your chick go first." Kathy sinks in closer to me, this doesn't go without Derek noticing. "Or maybe I could hold Kathy as you go in first? Would you like that Kathy?" He grins even larger.
I shake my head glancing back over to my parked car wondering if maybe I should just take Kathy home. Jamie pokes me in the side and I sigh.
"I'll protect you," I whisper into Kathy's ear and I lead us to the door. I go to grab the door handle but Kathy grabs my hand.
"You should knock first," she whispers but doesn't make any motion to knock the door herself. I raising my knuckles to the door and knock on it ignoring the snickers coming from behind us.
I glance at Kathy before reaching for the door handle and opening the door. It creaked so loudly that I thought the door might fall off the hinges. I feel someone push me from the back and Kathy and I stumble in. We are in the entrance of the house but I can't see anything but the dark.
"Ha, I told you guys we would need candles!" Annie announces from my left. I jump and turn around to see all the rest of the gang coming through the door. Derek is the last one in the house, you can see his outline in the doorway. He claps his hand together before reaching for the door and closing it.
The moon is no longer giving us the small light that it did when everyone was walking into the house, the house is now pitch black. All of a sudden a scream echo's through the house and Kathy jumps under my arms and soon her scream echo's off the walls along with the other scream.
"Shut up Marylee!" I snarl already recognizing the first scream. "Kathy, it's just stupid brained Marylee. She's just trying to scare you."
Kathy still shakes in my arms but has stopped screaming.
"Ouch, I just stubbed my toe." Lauren announces from somewhere to my left.
Annie's face soon lights up and I see she is holding a candle. She walks over to Lauren and moves the candle down to her foot.
"That would be a step Lauren," Annie says slowly.
Lauren grunts before stepping up the step. "Come on guys, we need to be in the room that the ghost died in to actually get this damn thing to work." She motions to eh Ouija board.
"You mean we're going upstairs?" Kathy asks.
"Don't be a baby Kathy," Marylee says walking past us and following Lauren to the ghost's death room.
Annie walks up to us, smiling kindly, "Kathy here." She grabs a candle from her bag and lights it with the other candle before handing it to Kathy.
"Thanks," Kathy says shyly.
I nuzzle her neck before following everyone up the stairs. The whole time the stairs groan and I held Kathy close in fear that they would give in and Kathy's leg would go through them.
"I think it was the last room down this hallway." Lauren says as she steps passed doors after doors.
"Damn, what did they do with all these rooms?" Annie ask as we walk down the hallway.
"Carlisle Cullen owned this place. He and his wife couldn't have children so they adopted. They adopted five children." Kathy says as she shines her light at the walls. There are no pictures on the wall, just empty picture frames.
We step into the last room on the hallway. I can already tell it's large since we're all not bunched together anymore. Annie sets down her candles and starts lighting them up in a circle.
"Everyone gather around. Come on." Annie motions for us all the sit down. Everyone gets into a circle and Lauren sets the Ouija board in the middle of the circle's.
"All right everyone put a finger on the board."
"Hey let's all put our middle finger on the board!" Jamie announces laughing and puts his middle finger on the board.
I roll my eyes and put my index finger on the board but Kathy pushes it away. I give her a questioning look but she just gives me a shaky grin and sets her middle finger on the board. I laugh and press my middle finger on the board also.
"Okay now everyone be silent and close your eyes. When I say open them then do."
Everyone closes their eyes. The rain is the only thing you hear, it's raining hard but that's normal, we do live in Forks.
"Isabella Swan, the poor creature who dies heartbroken. We call you to up rise and give us your presence." Annie speaks.
Everything is silent.
"Open your eyes." Annie says. We all open our eyes and watch as Annie turn the Ouija board in a few circles our fingers trailing on the board as it turns.
"Why are you turning it in circles?" Marylee asks.
Annie doesn't take her eyes off the board, "You have to get it warmed up." She turns it a few more times before looking up at us. "Everyone has a finger on the board correct?" Everyone nods. "Then who would like to ask the first question?"
Kathy goes rigid in her seat for a second before raising her hand up. Annie nods and motions for her to ask.
"Hi, I'm Kathy." Her voice shakes and I hug her tightly. I hear Derek snort but Annie is the one that stops her.
"No Kathy, you have to ask a question. Don't be polite but yet don't be rude. Ask a specific question."
"Is it true that a ghost haunts this house?" Kathy's voice rings out clear and calm.
The Ouija board does nothing and Annie groans.
"It worked last time I did it."
"Maybe we need a few shots of beer first, bet it will start working then!" Jamie offers bringing his beer bottle to his lips.
"Jamie if I wanted to drink I would go home and do it. I came her to see the ghost of Isabella Swan." Annie snaps glaring down at the board.
"Maybe we need to go spit on her grave or something?" Lauren offers.
Derek shakes his head, "I'm always out their smoking or drinking on one of the gravestones, I had to have at least once sat on her grave."
Kathy shrieks, "Look at the board Arty!"
I look down and the board read, Yes.
"Okay, who the hell moved the arrow to say Yes?" Derek asks looking at the board just like the rest of us. All attention was back to the board.
"Are you Isabella Swan?" Annie asks starring intently at the board.
The triangle moves away from the yes for a second before coming back toward the yes.
"Oh my god," Lauren breaths.
Annie looks up at Kathy, "You know the most about this ghost. Ask her a question that can't be answered with yes or no."
Kathy gulps and stares back down at the board, "How did you die?"
The triangle moves and starts moving to different letters, out of the corner of my eyes I can see Lauren scrambling to grab the piece of paper and pen she brought along.
B l o o d
"What do you mean, blood?" Annie asked.
E x a c t l y w h a t I s a i d
"Didn't you say that they found the corpse of Isabella with no blood left in it?" I asked Kathy.
Kathy nodded, "They said that the body had no blood in her, that all her blood was in puddles around the room."
"Do you know where I can find my Edward?" A soft voice asked. I stiffened and glanced around the room.
"Which one of you said that?" I asked.
"Holy-"But Annie's words were cut of by that soft voice.
"I really miss him. He left me you know. Not for another women though, he was just bored." The voice was a dreamy voice, almost like a lullaby.
"Which one of you has a damn tape recorder? Because I going to rip out your neck for this one!" Jamie asks but his voice is just a shaky and his threat hardly sounds intimidating.
Derek laughs, "Good prank, ahh really got me going there. Jamie, any more beer?"
"He said he loved me."
"Turn the recorder off," I said as I moved to the goodbye on the Ouija board.
"You guys-" Annie says but trails off as the lights flicker on. All the girls scream and I have to hold my scream in also.
"WHAT THE HELL! Do you know how old this house is! There is no way in hell this house is suppose to have electricity!" Lauren screams.
I look around the room and notice the walls are gold and so is the carpet, but there are red spots in the carpet making it look like a Dalmatian coat. The red spots start to get larger and larger.
"You guys. Look at the carpet," I point toward the red spots.
"Oh god!" Kathy moans. I lift her to her feet and then stand up myself. Lightning strikes outside and the lights flicker off again, but also the candles go out too.
"We need to get out of here," Derek says, this time he has no sound of ignorance in his voice.
I nod my head, "Yeah come on, I'll lead." But before we even step out of the room the voice comes again.
"I need to find him. He can help me." The lights flicker on and we all move toward the door again but stop when a girl our age walk out of the door frame and blocks the exit.
"You guys don't know him do you?"
She has reddish brown hair, the brown is the more dominate color. Her skin is white and her eyes are sunken in.
"I really need to find him."
On her neck is a large bite mark. Two puncture marks. Blood oozing from them.
Derek pushes past me, knocking me into the wall as he runs at the ghost. He runs right past her and down the hallway. Soon the girls run past too. I prepare to run with Kathy but the ghost tilts her head.
"It's Halloween you know. I use to go trick-or-treating, once I dressed up as a princess."
Kathy cries out and I let her go and she bolts for the door, me quick on her trail. I don't dare to look back as we race for the stairs, screams echoing through the house, I can't even tell who's is who's.
As we run down the steps Kathy stops. I hold onto the railing tight, trying to steady myself. Kathy screams again and backs up into the wall.
"Help me get my foot out of here!" Marylee screams as she tries to get her foot out of the stairs. "The damn wood is rotten!"
"Yes it is getting rather rotten these days. It's been a while since someone has tried to repair this place." The dreamy voice says and the hair on my back goes up because the voice is right behind me.
I glance over at Kathy and then look back at Marylee. "Kathy go, I'll help Marylee. The other already made it outside. Ride with them."
Kathy shakes her head, tears streaming down her face, "Alright."
Another scream echo's through the house and I look behind me to see the ghost is gone. I quickly squat down next to Marylee and grab her leg as the lights flicker off again.
"One the count of three try to get your foot out of the board. One-Two-Three." We both pull and her foot comes out of the stair's in a bloody mess. The lights flicker back on.
"Put your hand around my neck." I order and she throws her arm around me. I lead her as quickly as I can down the stairs.
White cloths that have covered furniture spring off of them and fling around the room. The glass bulbs above us shatter and the railing shakes. Then the lights flicker off again but not before I get sight of the exit. I pick Marylee up bridle style and run out the door.
When I get outside the only car that remains is mine. I pull my backdoor open and throw Marylee in it before running to the driver side. I put the keys in the ignition quickly and skid onto the dirt road. I glance in my rearview mirror once and swear I see Kathy in the white mansion pounding on the window of the house. I shake my head, no, she's not still there, she jumped into one of the other cars and left just as I said.
- Patience is key to life. I plan for this story to jump around a lot and the setting will change. It may get confusing at times but hold in there and enjoy it. There aren't many horror stories out there for Twilight so I want to bring one into it.
I also need a Beta. I have no experience with Beta's so a patient Beta will do. This, I am hoping will only be the chapter that I have spelling or grammar errors in. So I would appreciate a Beta by next chapter so do offer your services.
I'll probably update once a week, normally Saturday since I like to write in the dark and the only time I get to stay up late and not have to do anything the next day would be Friday nights.
If you want to review and tell me what you think. Go ahead and yell at me if I got anything wrong with the Ouija board. Never used one in my life, to much of a chicken, actually I went into a haunted house the other day and screamed my head off the whole time. Yes, Kathy is based off me in a haunted house situation.
