Overriding Operation Red

Chapter 2 - Savannah

Hey Guys!

So here it is, another chapter of our story!

It took a long time to write this thanks to constant procrastination, but i hope all of you would enjoy it!  :)

There it was, just a meter away from me. I could feel the soft, fresh cheese melting on my tongue, filling my mouth with its goodness, making me long for another bite of the heavenly creation. It could make anyone bend towards its will. I reached out, trying to get a hold of it, my mouth watering. In just a while…

“Eeek, ARE YOU DROOLING?!” screeched a voice beside me.

Soon, the whole room began to shake, but I couldn’t let that stop me from grabbing what was almost mine. Taking a deep breath, I lunged towards the last piece of Cheesecake that was left. Suddenly, something slapped me right across my cheek, bringing my eyes wide open with shock.

“Finally, now that my princess is awake, it’s time we prepare ourselves for the delicacies that await us outside! I’ve also got you a really cute devil suit. I mean, what’s the fun in Halloween if you don’t dress up, right?” said a voice, echoing over me.

I knew who that was…didn’t I? There was only one person who would dare to come to MY house, MY bedroom and disrupt MY sleep. Trust me, one of the most important things in my life was sleep and nobody took it away from me, unless it was…

“Alison…” I grumbled as I heaved myself up and faced the figure towering on top of me. The tip of her long hair tickled my nose and I brushed it away and took a closer look at her. Her wavy red hair was half-tied back and the other half was left down. The top of her fringe was pulled back with what looked like a devil’s horn… Wait, what in the tarnation was she wearing? I quickly got up and realized that she was wearing a short—and I’m emphasizing on the short—red strapless dress. I wiggled my nose when I realized what I was up against.

“No, no way am I doing this. Get out right now, and don’t see me till Monday. Just leave me alone this once, okay?” I told her, hoping that just this once, she wouldn’t force me into something that never in my life would I imagine doing.

Gently, she placed her hand under my chin and forced me to look up into her eyes. They were very beautiful, actually. I’d never seen anyone with such…how do I put it, mystifying green eyes. Her eyes were soft, yet they held a strong hold on me, a hold that made me blink more than usual as I struggled to pull my eyes away from hers.

“It’s Halloween, and do you remember what I said about you needing to get out and seeing the world with a thousand possibilities?” She gestured dramatically in front of her. “That is exactly what we are going to do, and I’m not taking ‘no’ as an answer. This will be the first step towards getting you prepared to be my BFF.” She chuckled, directing my eyes to hers again. There was a twinkle of excitement in them, and I knew that I would be safe with her around.

Maybe I could, for once, go out and experience Halloween and find out what is it that gets everyone so excited every year. Devil suit huh…wait, Devil suit? Why in the world am I even contemplating whether or not to follow her? She was downright evil and I would not, over my dead body, agree to that!

“No, I’m not following you this time, Alison,” I told her firmly, making sure she saw how serious I was.

“Oh really? What makes you so sure that I’ll let you off this time?” she asked, her lips turning up in a mischievous smile. I knew that look, and I had to get out of this mess one way or another.
