ALICE COSTUME PARTY
Alice Wilson, stuck her hand inside the pumpkin head
"Yummy!" She happily cried. As she pulled out a handful of pumpkin seeds out of it. Then tossed them onto the newspaper that was spread across the kitchen table
"Having fun feeling up that pumpkin. Huh, Al?" Her best friend
Wendy Cole smirked. Alice was about to answer her. When her other friend Sally Thomas, walked into the kitchen
"Hey guys, sorry I’m late. But we had an emergency at work,"
"Let me guess. Tweedy tried to run away again?" Wendy laughed
"Oh, that was so-so funny!" Sally frowned. Before she took off her
Jacket. "I can’t believe that you’re carving those pumpkins already. You’re party isn’t for two more weeks," She added
"Well you can never be too prepared," Alice laughed. And before either of them could answer her back, a large creature walked
Inside the kitchen. It then raised its paws to its head and pulled it off
"Hey!" Coz!" Scared ya?" Alice’s Cousin Lori Huston, smiled. It took
Alice a few seconds for her heart to stop pounding, inside her chest
"Lori, you little snot!" You nearly gave me a heart attack. Where
Did you get that stupid costume from?" Alice snapped
"Upstairs in the attic" Lori answered her. Then glanced up at the kitchen clock and asked Alice "Can I borrow your car? "
"You’re not serious? " You want to borrow my car?" Not even if your life depended on it!" Alice sneered pointing the knife in her
Direction. Lori started to leave when Wendy blocked her path
"Move Wendy, why are you looking at me like that?" Lori frowned.
And before Wendy could answer her back. Alice tackled her down to the floor
"What the hell is your problem Al!" Get off of me!" Lori yelled. As she tried to pull herself up
"You!" You’re my problem!" But not for very long!" Alice laughed. As she raised the knife high above her head
"Alice! What the--." Sally began. Cracking up Alice suddenly dropped the knife on the floor. And rolled off Lori
"Oh, nice going Sal, you just ruined the whole thing!" Wendy smirked.
Before she walked over to the kitchen counter, and pulled out a tiny video camera. That was hidden next to the cookie jar
"What the hell is going on?" Lori demanded brushing the hair out of her eyes. "Don’t tell me this was just all a joke?"
"Of course it was stupid; you really didn’t think that Alice was going to stab you." Did you?"
"You should’ve seen the look on your face. It was priceless!" Wendy laughed
"You two are sick!" Lori cried before storming out of the room
"Hey Lori!" If you still want to borrow my car?" The keys are on top of the front hall table!" Alice yelled after her
"Okay, what was that all about?" Sally frowned
"Well, you know that writing assignment that’s due next week?" Alice began
"Yah, what about it?" Sally shrugged
"Well, we thought it’d be more exciting to make a movie. Instead of just writing some boring paper"
"And who knows maybe Miss Lakes, will give us extra credit or something?" Alice shrugged
"Sounds great, but why didn’t you tell me about it?" Sally asked
"We were. But when Lori, walked in wearing that stupid costume. I couldn’t help it" Alice answered her. "Any way it’s going to be a
Murder mystery and my lovely cousin. Is going to be the victim"
"But I was thinking of adding a twist to it. Something cleaver like you think you know who the killer is,"
"But it turns out to be someone completely different. I got the whole script written in my notebook upstairs" I’ll be right back,"
Alice was half way to her room when she noticed. That her bedroom light was on
"That’s strange. I don’t remember leaving my light on," She thought to herself. She made her way down the narrow hallway towards her
room. When she walked into the room she uttered a loud gasped of disbelief
Blood had been smeared all over her walls. Alice felt a surge of dizziness
As her eyes went in and out of focus, when they cleared she noticed that the dark blood. Spelled out some kind of weird message
Gripping to her door knob with both hands. She read the words out in a low whispered
"I’M WATCHING YOU!"
"So what happened when your parents got home?" Wendy asked
Alice. Before taking a bite out of her ice cream cone
"Did they freak?"
"Freak isn’t the word! They wanted to call the cops," Alice sighed pushing her ice cream plate away
"But didn’t you tell them that you thought Lori, did it. As paybacks for what we did to her?" Wendy munched
"I tried. But of course they didn’t believe me, they even took her side." And asked where she’d get all that blood from?" Alice answered her
"You mean it was real blood?" Wendy frowned
"Yep." Is she sick or what?" Alice shrugged
"Beyond sick if you ask me. Why would she do something like that?" Wendy asked
"Who knows?" Maybe the stress of her parents’ divorce is making her go nuts or something?" Alice answered. It took Alice a few seconds to
Realize that Wendy wasn’t listening to her. She was staring over her shoulder
Alice turned her head to see what she was staring at. There in the far corner booth sat a very cozy couple. Sharing an ice cream soda
"Oh, great!" Alice mumbled to herself. When she saw who the couple was
It was her cousin Lori and Wendy’s boyfriend Joe
"Al, you better get me out of here. Before I go over there and pour that soda" Over their head!" Wendy sneered
The next night they were hanging out in Alice’s room
"So where’s your lovely cousin tonight?" Wendy smirked
"I’ve no clue; I hardly talk to her anymore?" Alice shrugged. Wendy was about to answer her back, when a voice interrupted
"Hey guys!"
