[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Jamie Turnscott, Ashlee Rashmer, Darek Stampfield, and a couple of other friends were returning home from a week long trip to Las Vegas. The group of teens was riding in Ashley's brand new Explorer when they first noticed that something was wrong. Josh Foster, one of Darek’s best friends, was on Jaime’s cell phone trying to call his fiancée back to check up on his two year old son Marcus, who was kept ill from a disease that the doctors could not diagnose in his young body, and kept getting their answering machine. "Hmm that's weird." He mumbled to himself.
"What’s weird bro?" asked Darek, who was sitting to his left, listening to his CD player.
"Huh, oh nothing man. It’s just that I keep calling Gina and getting the answering machine." responded a perplexed Josh.
"Well did you ever think that maybe they went somewhere man, you know you did leave her there all by herself to take care of your son." said Darek.
"I know that man but I've been trying to get a hold of them since we left Vegas and that was yesterday morning. I've also tried calling her mothers house along with a few other places that she could possibly be. I don’t get an answer from any of them either dude." said Josh.
"Well the phone lines are probably down then man, don't worry so much. Everything will be ok." Darek said to Josh going back to his Walkman and leaving poor Josh to sit and worry about his Fiancée and son.
"I hope that you are right man, because if anything has happened to them I don't know what I would do.” Foster spoke to his friend, who he noticed had not heard his last comment.
Josh who at 23 yrs old stood 5’ 7 with dark brown hair, and baby blue eyes. He was just a few inches shorter than his best friend Darek. Darek who at 21 stood at 6’0 with blonde hair and green eyes, couldn’t help but worry about his wife and son, they were after all his world. He would do anything for them, even die if it came right down to it. He handed the cell phone to Jamie who put back on his belt clip. Josh told him thanks and that he might need to use it again before they get back home.
"Why?" Jamie questioned. “Is Gina still not answering?" He added.
"No she isn’t and I am starting to get seriously worried." stated the dark haired man to his friend Jaime. Jamie, who the youngest of the group at age 18, looked at his girlfriend Ashlee, who was seated behind the wheel of her midnight blue 2005 Ford Explorer, that she had gotten for her birthday two weeks ago.
Ashlee, a red head from Denver who at 5'3" looked a lot like a short red headed Drew Barrymore glanced at her boyfriend of two years with a worried look on her face and said "I wonder what could be wrong honey, it's not like Gina to go off and not call someone and tell them where she is going, and especially not Josh. Have you tried calling your mother-in laws house to check there?" Ashlee questioned to Josh who had a very worried look on his face telling her that this was serious.
Out of the back of the car came the voice of a girl. It was the fifth and final person in the car, Ashlee’s older sister Morgan. "Well, hey give me the cell phone and I’ll call a few people and see if they have seen or heard from her.” She said. Morgan, who was 5 years older than her sister Ashlee, had black hair instead of Ashlee’s’ red hair, was 4 inches taller than Ashlee, and was the wildest of the 5. She had chosen to sit in the back away from the rest so she could have some privacy to read a book from her favorite romance author Gregg Burleson.
Jamie pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and stretched to hand his cell phone to Morgan. Morgan grabbed her bookmark and placed it in her book then reached across the seat that Darek and Josh were sitting in and grabbed the phone from Jaime’s' hand. Sitting back she started to dial her best friend Michelle that lived just a few blocks from Josh and Gina. Morgan placed the phone to her ear after she had dialed Michelle’s’ number and listened to the ringing. The phone rang six times before the answering machine picked up. She listened to her friends voice telling her to leave a message after the beep. The 24 year old listened until the message ended and then she heard the familiar beep and started to leave a message.
"Hello Michelle, if your there pick up, it's me Morgan. Hello plea..." she was cut off suddenly when someone picked up the phone and the answering machine ended with an ear-piercing whine. "Yo Michelle is that you, come on pick up." No one answered her, but she heard someone moving and the phone being dropped to the ground.
"What the heck is going on, Michelle is that you, come on is there something wrong. Don't mess around this is serious." Morgan said with just a bit of concern in her voice.
"Hey sis what's up Michelle playing another joke on ya?" Ashlee asked jokingly glancing back at her sister.
"I think so but I’m not sure. With no one answering for Josh I'm beginning to think this is serious." Ashlees' older sis replied.
" Hey is anyone there, Come on now this is not funny!" she continued.
All of a sudden there was a female speaking into the phone receiver, only it wasn’t her friend Michelle speaking, it was the sound of a woman who obviously was out of her mind. She was repeating over and over the same thing. “Must have the blood, I must, I must, I must, I must have blood." With that she slammed the receiver down on the hook.
Morgan looked at the phone in her hand and broke down into tears, dropping the cell phone onto the floor of the vehicle, in shock not believing what she had just heard on the other end of the phone.
"What is wrong Morgan, why are you crying." said Darek who apparently had sensed that something was wrong and taken his headphones off and switched his Walkman off, turned around to face the crying girl.
"Ashlee, stop the car now something is very wrong here, Morgan just don't cry for nothing, so this must be serious." Josh who looked even more worried because of the crying woman all but screamed at the woman behind the wheel.
Ashlee realizing that they were dead serious turned the wheel to the right and pulled off the road in compliance to Josh's order. She then turned the car engine off, pulled the key out of the ignition and turned around to face the others. "What is going on Morgan, what made you cry sweetie?"
"She, she, she said she must have blood!" A frightened Morgan said through trembling lips, and tears running down her face. "That I, I, is just a terrible thing to say. Why would an… an… anybody even want to say such awful, awful words." She added as her whole body started to tremble from fright.
"Who did, who said that she must have blood? Michelle did Michelle say it?" asked an ashen looking Darek. He then reached out to touch Morgan on her shoulder, who flinched his hand away dejectedly.
"No it wasn’t Michelle, it was someone else, someone that obviously has a screw loose in her head, a major one at that." Morgan spoke to the group still crying but not as hard. "I don't know who it was but I don't have a good feeling about all this…” she added feeling her stomach start to churn.
"Did she sound familiar? Do you know who it was? Did she say what she had done?" Jamie said overwhelmed with shock and curious of what his girlfriends’ sister must have just have heard.
"Dude just chill, take your time sis, and tell us when you calm down. It sounds like what ever was said was pretty disturbing, or at the least wrong." Ashlee interrupted her boyfriend, sensing that her sister was distraught.
"Ashlee just start the car back up and get us home and she can tell us when she is ready to talk." Josh said finally after keeping pretty quite since she had started to cry.
Wiping the tears away from her cheeks Morgan said that she agreed that they should just get going so they could find out what exactly was going on. With that said Ashlee put the key back in the ignition and started the car back up.
Looking over her shoulder to make sure there was no traffic, Ashlee turned the wheel and pulled back onto the road saying that she agreed that they should get back as soon as possible and clear things up.
After they were back on the road continuing their way home Morgan told them how the answering machine had picked up and then someone picked up the receiver just to drop it. And she then told them what the crazy lady had said to her just before she slammed the phone down on the hook.
Josh who had started to cry also asked, "Could this have anything to do with no one answering at my house?"
"Not to worry you any, but…" Darek said with a pause. "Yes, indeed it could have something to do with that and the fact that no one picked up anywhere else for that matter."
"Not to interrupt you guys or anything but you guys really should see this." Said Ashlee from behind the wheel, who had stopped the car and was looking forward and pointing towards the city in which lay before them.
The city that lay ahead was their city. Their city which now lay in shambles before their eyes. With their eyes locked on what was ahead, the five teens opened the doors and stepped out of the car only to have their nostrils assaulted but a stench that no one could describe, but could all tell that this was very bad.
"What’s weird bro?" asked Darek, who was sitting to his left, listening to his CD player.
"Huh, oh nothing man. It’s just that I keep calling Gina and getting the answering machine." responded a perplexed Josh.
"Well did you ever think that maybe they went somewhere man, you know you did leave her there all by herself to take care of your son." said Darek.
