My Short Stories

Blame IT on the teens (Fiction)

It all started September 18, 2103, with 3 girls and 2 boys just hanging out on one fateful night. The group had been friends for basically their whole lives. Their parents were friends from the start. The girls, Maddie, Jimena, and Mia would always invite the boys to go shopping, the boys would also invite the girls to their sports games and to skate with them. They would never ever do anything to hurt each other, they did everything together.

The friends had snuck out to go drink while their parents were asleep. Levi drove down to the bar with the ID he got a few days ago, once they had got there he saw something weird out of the corner of his eye, but he brushed it off and went inside. While Levi was trying to get them their drinks Jimena looked outside the window at the front of the bar and saw something staring at her, she was freaking out trying to get Levi to hurry up so they could run.

Charlie, Maddie, Jimena, and Mia went over to Levi and Maddie told him, "Hurry Levi we saw something stirring in the woods out the window. We gotta get going."

The bartender gives the group their drinks and asks the teens for the money to pay. "Got any money kids?" He started staring at Levi and they realized just the ID worked but the teens had no money to pay.

Mia whispered to Jimena and the others, "Let's take it and run." The teens all grab the bottles and get the heck out of there. They ran out of the bar and took off to the forest. The friends could hear people behind them shouting at the group to come back and pay. They end up near a waterfall and sit down at the pond near the bottom. They could hear rustling in the woods, and see moving shadows but decided to ignore it. They try to open the bottle but their vision starts to deteriorate and they hear ringing in their ears.

Mia slowly opens her eyes and sees a red sky, black clouds, and a weirdly colored forest in the distance. "What the heck is this? Where am I?" She whispered to herself, she got up from her position on the ground and looked at her friends. They are also asleep, what happened?

She decided to look around, the forest is what intrigued her the most. She wanted to get the others first though, This is creepy She was thinking to herself. She went over to the others and woke them up.

"Guys wake up, I don't know where we are." She said as she averted tugging on their clothes, anything to wake them up. They were as still as a rock not waking up at all.

As she was walking to the forest she heard a growling that was low and harsh. As she was turning around to head back to the others, something came from behind and bit Mia on her right arm below her shoulder, blood instantly pouring from it. The skin around the mark started to decay like acid on skin.

Even from the sudden pain, Mia didn't even flinch. She had a thirst for blood like the bite did something to her, like a trance. She turns to her right and Charlie is somewhat awake. He was slowly walking towards Mia, rubbing his eyes. She had blood all along her arm and it was dripping from her fingers. Mia couldn't control herself; she picked up a sharp piece of metal in her hands instantly, getting it covered in blood.

Charlie slowly starts backing away from Mia now fully awake and alert. "A-Are you alright? You good? Can you like put that down? It's kinda creepy." Mia twitched her head sharply repetitively and approached him fast, charging at him, the lust for blood in her eyes. Charlie couldn't even recognize her.

The screaming woke up the rest of the group and they shot up from their positions on the ground. They looked around and at each other, they all thought the same thing, Who was screaming? Where are we?

"You guys did hear that right?" Maddie exclaimed in her high-pitched voice. The two nodded to Maddie's question. After a little bit of silence, they all got up and went over to the area where they heard the scream. In the distance, they could see a river of blood streaming towards them. The three picked up their pace. Who was injured? Do they need help? The bloodstream led to a scene the three never could have even thought of.

Laying in front of them was Charlie's bleeding body on the ground but his arm was missing and a tan skin one had replaced it. Suddenly, Jimena could feel a cold metal go through her heart and she dropped dead; the remaining two screamed in terror at the sight before them. Mia had Charlie's arm and one of Jimena's legs like a human Frankenstein. Levi and Maddie took off running, but the planet they were on had a sand-like surface and was hard to run on. Mia tackled the two at the same time and twisted their necks, killing them instantly.

Mia looked around first at her friend's lifeless bodies, then at her bloody hands, finally having a coherent thought, WHAT HAVE I DONE? "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO! You can't die on me! Please! I need you guys." She started tugging on their bodies trying to wake them up. "Please..."

Guess one wrong thing can lead to disaster...
