A Twisted Halloween: Terror is Trending

Chapter 11: You Really Don't Know?

Meanwhile, the Magicam Monsters continue to look over their phones.

A woman says, "Oh, NICE. It's only been up for minutes and the waffle pic' already got twenty likes. Someone even committed that they were 'so jelly'! I knew that sorta limited edition thing would bring in tons of clout."

"For sure. Who cares how it tastes when it looks that pretty -" The man says, and suddenly screams, "GYAH!"

"What's wrong?" The woman asks.

"I think I just felt something furry brush my leg," The man says.

"What? All I've felt is grass -" The woman says, but suddenly screams, "EEK!"

"S-something's coiling around my ankle! It's too dark to see. What is it?!" The woman panics as she looks down her legs.

"It's soft and bushy and bendy..." The man panics.

Suddenly, they hear a howl, "AWOO!

"Huh?" The woman questions, "Was that.... A how?"

Then they hear another sound," Grrr..."

"And that was a growl! Are these... dogs?" The man asks, startled.

Suddenly, they hear footsteps. The Magicam Monsters turn to see Jamil and the other students running.

One of the Scarabia students screams, "Aah! Help us!"

"Night Raven College students?! What's wrong, guys?" The woman asks.

"W-w-werewolf! There's a werewolf!" The second student cries out in fear.

"Excuse me?" The man says, confused.

Then grows concern, "Was that the soft thing we felt? A werewolf's tail?!"

"No way. We're on school grounds. Why would one of these be here?" The woman asks in disbelief.

"You really don't know?" It's a pretty famous legend on Sage's island!" Jamil says in a panic.

Then explains, "The woods near the school used to be home to a werewolf. Students used to get attacked by it constantly back when Night Raven College was first established. The people of the school spent years hunting down the feral thing to keep there from being any more victims."

Then Jamil questions, "You really haven't heard any of this before?"

"I think I'd remember something that messed-up!" The woman says, still shocked.

"But wasn't Night Raven College founded, like forever, ago?" The man questions. "Maybe that's why we've never heard it before."

Jamil continues, "According to legend, the slain werewolf is buried somewhere right around the store. Maybe the scene of all this food stirred him back to life! This is why we have the sign telling people not to litter! Who in Twisted Wonderland would be thick enough to ignore the ONE rule we set?"

The two Magicam Monsters gulp nervously, because they're the ones thick enough to not follow the rules.

"Uh, yeah, I wonder who that could be..." The man nervously says.

Suddenly, one of the students screams, "Ah1 Behind you!"

"Huh?!" The man reacts.

The Magicam Monsters quickly turn around to see something, but that something quickly disappears.

He soon panics, "I-I just saw some ears..."

"So did I!" The woman panics, "Big ones! There really IS a werewolf!"

Then, something runs past them again, and lets out a howl, "AWOO!"

Then they hear rustling from the bushes.

The woman panics, "I-it's coming closer!"

"Oh no... I can't fight a bloodthirsty monster!" The man panics.

Then the woman panics, "He, aren't the Night Raven College students supposed to be elite mages? We can let them fend it off. Let's get out of here, quick!"

Then the student says in shock, "You're just going to abandon us? How could you?!"

"Hey, it's your problem, not ours!" Bye!" The man says.

Suddenly, Jamil sceams, "AAAH! HELP USSS!"

And suddenly, Jamil has been attacked and pushed down.

Seeing that he's out of sight, Jamil says, "There. That should get them headed towards Kalim. Our guests-turned-gadflies should get fully convinced that the werewolf is real. Now to seal the deal."

Then says to himself, "You know, Kalim was so confident about playing the part of the werewolf and scaring them at the end, but I have my misgivings."

"Yeah, that 'Rawr!' he did when we finished our costumes wasn't exactly intimidating," One of the students says.

Thoen another student says, "If anything, it was like a puppy trying to sound scary."

"No kidding," Jamil agrees, "He's the kind of guard dog that would sooner trot up to a burglar and wag his tail than actually do any guarding. I strongly suggested swapping roles, but he insisted that we leave this part to him."

Then Jamil wonders, "Is he giving himself too much credit, or is there something else he has in mind? Regardless, I'm worried. I say we go check up on him just in case he needs some last-minute backup."

Then turns to the students, "Let's hurry. And don't let the Magicam Monsters spot you."

"Yes, sir!" The students answer.

Meanwhile, the Magicam Monsters have run away leaving the students behind. They soon run quite a distance from the Mystery shot.

The woman heavily breathes, "We ran a pretty long way. Do you think we're in the clear?"

"I heard someone scream..." The man says, "I wonder if the werewolf got that whole group of students."

"Th-they'll be fine! It's ourselves we should be worrying about -" The woman says.

Suddenly, they begin to hear rustling sounds from the bushes.

The man screams, "Eek! The bushes are rustling!"

Soon, they hear growling sounds, "Grrr... RAWR!" Follow by a voice, "Y...YOOooUUu..."

Just then, Kalim jumps out and shouts, "I wiLl... rrRRriP yOu to SHreDs!"

He then shows his claws and teeth, and lets out a roar, "RAAAWR!"

The man screams, "GAAAH! THE WEREWOLF!

Then the woman screams, "Get away from meee!"
