6teen Fan Fiction ❯ 7teen: The Mall Demons ❯ Run like you've never run before!! ( Chapter 4 )

CHAPTER FOUR

 

Five murder cases, and the Rent-a-cop was getting ready to close down the mall until whoever was responsible for these murders was caught, but the mall was still open.

 

Jonesy and I told the gang of what the captain had told us last night. “Demons? Yeah, right.” Nikki snorted. “I suppose next he told you he was still scared of the boogie-man.”

 

“I don't know…” Jude said. “I mean… it probably would explain those mysterious murders.”

 

“No, way.” said Jen. “We saw the security tapes, there was nobody else. They must've just been freak accidents.”

 

“Sure… accidents.” Wyatt said. “I got to run. Got a date with Serena I'm going to give her new bracelet today. See' ya guys.” and he got up and left.

 

“Yeah… I think I'll go visit Amelie at the Soda hop. I got a sugar craving.” and I was off.

 

“And I'm going to go see Starr.” Added Jude as he hopped on his board. “Later.”

 

“Do you guys think it's a good idea for them to go off alone?” asked Caitlin. “I mean, what if the demons go after them?”

 

Jen put her hand to her head in disgust. “Caitlin, I'm telling you… there are no such things as demons!”

 

… but that's where Jen was wrong, because at that moment, strange figures were already perusing Wyatt, Jude, and myself along our path ways.

 

We all suddenly had sick feeling we were being followed, but whenever we turned around we saw nothing was there behind us. All this talk about demons was really rattling us up, but we knew seeing our girlfriends would help us forget about it.

 

Later on…

 

Amelie and I were walking through the mall, hand-in-hand, each having an ice-cream, and playing our favorite game…

 

“You're cute.”

 

“You are cute.”

 

“You.”

 

“You.”

 

“You.”

 

“You.”

 

Our faces moved closer, and closer… and when we kissed, Amelie had said it last, she got me again. “Ah, well… you can't win them all.” I joked, and my girlfriend giggled.

 

We clicked our cones together as if we were having drinks. “Here's looking at you, kid.” I said, but before we licked our ice-creams.. we looked towards the fountain. “Hey, what's that?”

 

We moved closer, and Amelie suddenly winced, and dropped her cone. “Zut-A'lors” she cried as tears began to form in her eyes.

 

Poor little Stanley was floating facedown in the mall fountain… and his Yummy-Mummy must had been shoved down the stairs while no one was watching and broke her neck.

 

Amelie and I were no doctors but we could tell when someone was dead. Amelie tried giving Stanley CPR, I didn't mind… and she didn't mind that I felt for Yummy-Mummy's pulse. (I wonder exactly what Yummy-Mummy's real name is)

 

But it was no good… they were goners.

 

Amelie could help but softly cry a little-bit. She did love kids, and it was very tragic that such a young boy, and his mother getting killed before their time. “I… called the medics, they'll be here soon.” I said as I held my girlfriend close.

 

“'Oo would do such a `orrible thing?” she sobbed.

 

“I don't know.” I said softly to her… or did I really not know. “Can it be?” I thought.

 

Meanwhile…

 

Serena and Wyatt were just coming out from the movies. “Greatest show I've ever seen.” Serena said.

 

“Me too.” her boyfriend said. “I just got to head into the washroom.”

 

While he was there, he took a look at the bracelet he got for his girlfriend. “I think now's just as good a time as ever.” he said to himself.

 

As he washed his hands, he didn't here the silent sounds of something creeping up behind him. He dried his hands off and headed out the door… not notice what was following him…

 

“Well now…” he said to Serena. “Now that the dates nearly done, I got something for you.” Wyatt said.

 

“Oh?” Serena said sounding all flirty. “What is it?”

 

“Uh-uh-uh… close your eyes now.”

 

Serena did as she was told, and when Wyatt told her to open her eyes again… she gasped!!

 

Wyatt looked down at the bracelet all confused. “What? There's nothing wrong with it, is there?” he asked, but Serena was now shaking in terror. “W-W-Wyatt!!” she squeaked. “B-b-behind you!!”

 

Wyatt turned round, and finally… HE SAW IT!! A big, dark horrid creature moaning and hissing at him. Serena a Wyatt SCREAMED in fright. “RUN FOR IT!!” Wyatt cried as he let Serena's bracelet fall into the crowd of people he lobby.

 

His voice attracted the attention of everyone, and they could see the monster too. Soon everyone was running a-muck in panic… and a few of them… namely, the Movie-usher, Stuart-Goldstein, and Paige, the hot-dog girl…

 

…they were brutally killed at the hands of this monster. It was tearing through the crowd as if it was looking for something.

 

The Rent-a-cop was passing by on his patrol. “What's going on here!” he growled. “What's all the… the--” suddenly he saw the monster picking up the bracelet Wyatt had dropped, and then it was joined by three more monsters.

 

“All-r-r-right then!” Ron stuttered as if he were actually afraid. “You may as well… CARRY ON!!” and he ran off with the crowd as the monsters kept approaching, and killing more shoppers.

 

Jude and Starr were skating nearby. “Like, whoa! What's happening in there?” Starr asked.

 

“Don't know. Maybe they watched too many horror films.” Jude said. They could see Wyatt and Serena up ahead, running towards them as if their lives depended on it. “Yo' Wyatt, what's happening?” Jude called.

 

Wyatt and Serena just sped right past them, but only stopping for a moment. “RUN YOU GUYS, RUN!!”

 

Jude and Starr shared confused looks, and when they turned back the other way… Starr gasped!! “Whoa-oa-oa!! Jude… do you see what--”

 

“Yeah, I do.” Jude answered. “I see me GETTING TH HECK OUT OF HERE!!” and he and Starr began skating away like no tomorrow.

 

Meanwhile…

 

Amelie and I were at the lemon with the others talking about Stanley and his mom. “Two more murders? That makes seven in just two days.” cried Jen. “What's going on here?”

 

Suddenly, Caitlin's all our cell-phones began ringing with a text message from Wyatt. The massage said: “Run!! Don't ask why, just get out of the mall!”

 

“What's got him all psyched?” asked Jonesy.

 

“It's probably nothing. He and Serena did just go see a horror flick..” added Nikki.

 

Suddenly, we all could feel the floor rumbling. “What's happening?” cried Caitlin.

 

Then we could see lots of shoppers screaming and running in panic for towards the exits. “What's going on?!” cried Jen.

 

“I don't think we want to know.” cried Nikki.

 

Then, the ground below our table began to gurgle and quiver angrily, and then… POW!! It burst wide open as angry, and disfiguring monsters emerged from the holes, knocking us off our feet.

 

The monsters roared furiously with their claws ready to strike. We all shared a huge SCREAM, and began to back away from the lemon as more monsters popped up from numerous places.

 

“LOOK OUT!!” I cried!!

 

We jumped out of the way as an evil-looking arm popped up and grabbed Nikki by the meg. “AAH!! IT'S GOT ME!!” she screamed. “GET OFF ME!!”

 

“Nikki…. Hang on!!” cried Jonesy, and he grabbed a fallen chair and began bashing the monster's arm. “Get off!! Get off of her you big ugly brute!!”

 

Nikki was able to wretch away from the monster… but it did end up ripping her pants and grazing her leg a little, but she could still run with the rest of us.

 

“Let's get out of here!” cried Caitlin, and we all began to run for it. “Wait! What about Jude and Star. Wyatt and Serena?” I asked, but suddenly there they were running straight for us.

 

“Dudes!!” cried Jude. “Run for it!!”

 

“They're everywhere!!” cried Wyatt.

 

We all dashed for the parking lot where we took my car, and Serena's car, and we went at least a mile away from the mall in no time. We were safe, but we were still freaked out of our souls.
