The Night Of Terror

Chapter Three: The Prank

• Sam: Day One •

The generator flicks back in the lights, making a few rumbling sounds as it gets to working. "Oh, shit!" I curse, as I turned backwards I was met with Josh's chest. "Don't scare me like that." I say as I lay a few light punches to Josh's chest. "Ow, okay!" Josh says. "I wasn't trying to scare you, Sam." He just lays his hands up as a sign of surrender. "This basement gives me the creeps, let's get back to everyone else." I declare.

"Gosh, you know what we should do?!" Jessica says with excitement. As I walk into the living room I see Jessica's eyes light up with joy. As if a lightbulb popped over her head. "Drinks!" She sang as she got up. "It's kinda late." Ashley whispers. "Party pooper." Emily mutters. This made Ashley a bit upset. I look back behind me, towards Josh. Giving him a look to see if he was fine with it and he nods yes. "Well, the drinks are in the fridge. Grab them!" I say as I throw my hands in the air, seeing Josh smiling up at me from the corner of my eye.

Jessica puts on her playlist of music. Her pink phone sat up on the fireplace mantel, blasting music on Spotify. "Ay!" Jessica says with a smile. Leading everyone to the coffee table and couches as she brings in liquor, wine, and beer. "Party time, people's!" She places down the bottles with a clank. "Games, anyone?" She suggests while looking at anyone.

"Truth or dare." Josh and Chris chime in together. "Y'all are like the fucking Shinning twins. Oo!" I goof. "Who's first?" Beth asks as we all sit around. "Sam." Chris suggest. "It's your birthday after all." I sigh as I nod yes to go. "Truth or dare, Sam?" Chris asks all intimidating. "Dare." I say with a sly smirk. Chris just laughs. "Too easy." He says. "Now." He says as he brings a hand to his chin. To be honest, he got me a bit worried about what he'll ask me to do. "I dare you to chug this beer, all of it." He declares. "Pussy." I say as I grab a beer and twist the top off like a pro. "Get it college girl!" Emily yells.

"Chug, chug, chug!" Every yells as soon as my lips touch the bottle. What the fuck have I gotten myself into with this crazy shit lol. "Yes! Go Queen!" Jessica yells as I throw my head back, swallowing as much of the liquid as I could. I place my head into my arm as I feel the sour-burning feeling in my throat. Josh just rubs my back as I gently cough. "Alright babe?" Josh asks. I just give him a thumbs up.

"Light weight." Emily jokes while laughing. "How about you Chris. Are you a light weight too?" She teases. "Hey, now." Chris says. "Pussy?" I ask. "I am what I eat!" He yells. Everyone just burst into laughter before yelling out; "Chug, chug, chug!" Chris just gives up on dragging out and gets handed a bottle of wine. "Wanna race?" He asks Josh. "Fuck it, I'm in!" He yells.

• Sam: Night Two •

Everyone was fucked up and waisted. Especially Josh and Chris. Gosh, the videos and pictures from tonight are going to blow their minds in the morning. Of course, I joked around a bit ago and might have drawn on Chris's face. But! He won't know who did it to him. At least not tonight.

I saw Josh crashed out on the bar table and Chris was fast asleep on the couch. "Wanna help me with this?" Beth asks as she cleans up the litter from our group that left behind such a mess. Apparently they had to 'go to bed' but I might have over heard them saying something about Hannah. Which didn't sound good to me. They always make fun of her for having such a small, well 'big' crush on Mike. It's an innocent love. But, of course that try and crush her dreams here and there. Poor girl.

I pick up some bottles and place them into the bag Beth held out. The bottles clank together as they fall. The pieces of leftover pizza Jessica drunkingly orders was everywhere on the counters. I threw the empty boxes away and the leftovers in the fridge. "I can't believe Jessica ordered 7 pizzas." I say. "I know, too many drinks can get you that shit." Beth says with a laugh. "Geeze, Josh. Once again, brother,  you've outdone us all." Beth says as she grabs a big ass bottle of wine, which is now empty, off the table and into the bag.

Once I help drag Josh's limp body to the second couch, Beth excuses herself from the room to throw away the bag of trash. "Hannah?" I say as I see her smiling down at a piece of paper. "What's that you got there?" I pry. "Nothin'." She says as she hides the page in her chest. Holding it for dear life. I could see the drawling of her. One I've drawn? 'Shit. What are those rascals up to now?' I see a red heart drawn around her face. 'This can't be good.'

• Beth •

I place my pink coat over my torso. The cold fabric make me more chilly as I gather the trash from the party we just had. Dragging it to the back as the door creaks open. 'We really need to get that fixed.' I think to myself as I see the screen of the door is fucked up.

As I make my way down the back stairs I see the trash cans in the corner. As I lift the lid I drop it. A loud crash was heard behind me. A fucking Elk was half way over the back yard fence. Making dents in the snow as it came crashing down. Must have been running away from something, or someone?

I let out deep shallow breaths as I stick my hand out. I didn't want to freak this thing out. But, of course my feet loudly crunch in the snow, make the animals jerk away. "Shit!" I yell as it's antler ripped my jacket. White fluff hanging out of it as I hold it. As I leave the trash in the ground, I run back upstairs. Taking off my jacket to see my upper arm. "Thank God." I whisper as it was only just a scratch.

"Hey! Where you going!?" I ask as I see Hannah run off. Her shirt of halfway off her shoulders and tears strut down her beautiful face. The sound of other footsteps was heard. "What'd y'all do?!" I yell. "It was just a prank, Beth." Jessica says with a smile. But as the looks of it, her and Emily were the only ones to be taking this as a joke. Sam seemed worried and for some weird reason, Mike did too?

"I tried to stop it, I did." Sam apologizes. "It's fine." I say as I send her a sweet-small smile. "But, the rest of you, fuck you, I mean seriously! Y'all are jerks!" I yell. Everyone was actually taken back by my out burst. I am usually the cool one, but this? This is bullshit. "I'll wake Josh." Sam suggest. "I'll run after my sister." I say as I gather my coat and go running out the door.

"Should I go?" Mike offers. "I really think your the last person she wants to see right now." I say as I roll my eyes. I walk off and join Josh in the living room. Gently pushing him. "Wake up, Josh." I say. I place a kiss onto his lips to try and pry him from his deep slumber. "Shit." He flutters his eyes open but then they immediately close. He ain't going to be as much help right now. Hannah will be fine, and I know for sure Josh will give everyone Hell once he wakes up.

As I warm my hands up in front of the fire, I start to gain a bit of worry for Beth and Hannah, even though it has only been a couple of minutes. 'Maybe we should wait a bit longer. They should be fine?' I really can't believe everyone was in on this dumbass prank. It wasn't even that funny.
