Stephanie's Curse

How it All Started

        2014, November

“This is so much digging. I can’t believe Mrs.Drew is making us do all this digging!” Thomas complained. “My noodle arms can’t go on any longer!”

“Oh stop complaining you little wimp.” Bella snapped.

‘I can’t believed I asked you out.” Thomas said under his breath because he was too afraid to admit it to Bella.

“Hey guys, I think I found something.” said Andy.

“What?” questioned Darren.

“Help me dig it up. Same as Thomas, my noodle arms can’t take it any more.”

“Fine!” said Darren with a hint of anger.

“Hey I think I found something.”

Darren and Andy pulled it up.

“Aww man!” Andy complained. “It needs a key.”

Andy got mad so he kicked it. To everyone’s surprise, it opened.

“Wow Andy, Mr.Sheehan would have gave you an A if  he was here!” exclaimed Darren.

“How about I go get him and show him. It beats digging.” said Patrick.

Patrick was tired of digging because his partner, Sincere, tricked him into making him do all the work all by himself. Mrs.Drew wasn’t watching over the class. She was in the teacher lounge with all the other teachers eating slushies from 7/eleven because you can get a small slushie for just 99c. So Sincere was able to trick Patrick by telling him that he needed to get a drink of water and then he needed to use the bathroom ( or as everyones calls it BR). But then when he faked that he needed to call him mom, he never came back. Patrick didn’t keep track of time and he wasn’t very good at it so he didn’t notice and everyone else had their own problems to deal with so nobody didn’t even care that Sincere was missing.

“Hey Andy, what did you find?” questioned Maeleigh.

“IDK let me check.” replied Andy.

Andy opened up the unknown object.

“I think it’s a book.”said Andy. “And I think the name of it is Z-Rex? Hmm never heard of it. It sounds like a fascinating book though.” Of course, Andy picked it up. “I think I’m gonna read it and see what it’s all about.”

Then Andy left.

“Great now I need to do this…

“OMGG SINCERE IS POSSESSED!” screamed Patrick.

“Please you think we’re going to believe you after what you said last time. ‘AHHHH! MRS.DREW IS A ZOMBIE AND TURNING EVERYONE ELSE IN TO ZOMBIES!!’ Please” said Maeleigh.

“I’m not joking SINCERE IS POSSESSED!!!!”

“OK Patrick, you can go live in Lalaloopsy Land with unicorns and gumdrops and possessed  people. K Patrick?” said Maeleigh sarcastically.

“FINE! I’LL JUST LEAVE AND GET MYSELF A 99C SLUSHIE AND NEVER COME BACK!” yelled Patrick.

“It’s your F” said Maeleigh.

“I don’t care!” yelled Patrick and stormed off.

“Wow you got Patrick…

“WHO DARED TO TOUCH MY BOOK!” said a mysterious voice.

“Who said that?” said Thomas with a chill down his spine. His throat started to get tighter.

“If you must know my name is Stephanie.”

“Stephanie?’

“YES STEPHANIE!”

Thomas’ throat got tighter.

“Why are you here Stephanie?”

“Because one of your friends STOLE MY BOOK!”

“It’s just a book!”

Thomas’ throat got tighter.

“IT WAS A VERY SPECIAL BOOK! It was called Z-Rex. My aunt gave it to me for Christmas. It was the best book I ever owned. But then one day I had my book. My dad had a knife. Then my life was over. Now I haunt my father day and night. He better had learned his lesson. I thought he would of in ‘14 but I just kept going.”

“1914?”

“No 1814!”

Thomas’ throat got tighter. It was getting hard for him to breathe.

“As I was saying, that book is like a treasure to me. The item that matters to me most. I even kept it in a little box with a lock and key. But now one of your friends took my book shall die!”

Thomas fell to the ground. Bella chuckled.

“You have 24 hours to return my book!”

“Or else what?!” said Darren!

“Or else you all die and have to be my slaves! You will help me get revenge on my father and his cruel act.”

“Wait he did this to u 250 years ago. Why can’t you just let it go?” questioned Thomas with a hint of sarcasm.

“Would YOU ‘let it go’ if YOUR father murdered YOU?!”

“I guess not?”

“You bet your papa’s pig’s you wouldn’t!”

“What?” everyone questioned.

“Never mind! 24 hours go!”

And that’s how the curse started.
