The Night of Bloody Screams

          Karin and Tara sat on the couch watching the special features for Eight Below; such a sad movie, but awesome at the same time. The two sixteen year old girls sat in the main part of a trailer, while their other cousin Kaitlin slept in the bedroom. Karin and Tara both came for the family reunion but there wasn’t enough room in the house, so they slept in a trailer just outside. Karin swept some of her blonde bangs out of her eyes and checked her phone; it was already past one o’ clock in the morning ‘I’ll just watch a bit more then hit the hay.’ she decided. Looking to the other side of the trailer she saw Kaitlin’s sleeping form that had been dead to the world for at least a couple of hours, apparently being a sleepy teenager applied even when you turned seventeen. Karin considered going to bed, but dismissed the idea even as she fought back a yawn. SNAP! Karin’s blue eyes widened, ‘What in the name of Kentucky fried chicken was that?’ she wondered. She slowly lifted herself off the couch and crept towards the window. She looked around into the surrounding trees, must have been the dogs, she tried to reassure herself. SNAP! SNAP! OOHHHHH! Karin whipped her head around to stare at Tara’s horrified brown eyes.

          “You heard that, right?” Karin asked, and Tara quickly nodded her head, looking a bit like a deer caught in headlights.

          As the moans and snaps got louder and louder, Karin and Tara started screaming. After locking the door they both kept running around shrieking. When someone started to knock on the door they just wailed louder.

          “Let me in! I wanna come in!” groaned a woman’s low, slurred voice, as the knocking turned into pounding.

          “She’s going to eat our flesh, and devour our souls! RUN!” Tara screamed hysterically.

           The woman’s voice got louder as she banged and tried to open the door. Suddenly everything went quiet, except for the sounds of the woman walking away muttering, what she was muttering about was drowned out by Karin and Tara’s heavy breathing. Suddenly something popped into Karin’s head; there was another way to get in… through the bedroom.

          “OH MY GOSH WE HAVE TO SAVE KAITLIN!” Karin yelled, and they quickly ran to the bedroom and locked the door just as the mysterious woman tried to open it.

          Being petrified Karin and Tara did what any partly crazy people would do; scream their heads off. They leapt onto the bed (landing on Kaitlin) and clutched each other in a terrified hug, making them resemble two very cuddly koala bears.

          “WOULD YOU STOP YOUR BLOODY SCREAMIN’ AND GET OFF OF ME!” Kaitlin shouted as loud as she could, she wasn’t much of a night owl.

          Suddenly Tara grabbed Kaitlin, squishing their two brunette heads together. Karin grabbed her from the other side, making a bit of a human sandwich. They held on tight even as Kaitlin’s greeny-blue eyes glared at them. If looks could kill, both Karin and Tara would be busy coughing up their internal organs, not to mention all the candy they had eaten earlier. The woman was no longer attempting to get in but Karin and Tara could still hear the sounds of breaking branches outside. As soon as Kaitlin pried Karin’s hands off, she was gripped tighter by Tara who had started to rock herself and a much disapproving Kaitlin back and forth.

          “If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? Mmmhmhm. If there’s something weird and it don’t look good. Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters.” Tara sung quietly to herself, while Kaitlin stared at her like she was crazy.

          “EXACTLY!” Karin’s shout seemed to snap Tara out of her singing; Kaitlin was now looking at both of them as if they had gone insane.

          “We can call my dad or Aunt Carol to come make sure that crazy psycho killer is gone.” Karin explained; Tara’s mouth made a small ‘O’ before she nodded and started singing the lyrics to Psycho Killer.

          Karin grabbed Tara’s hand and yanked her back out to the main part of the trailer, not even noticing Kaitlin slamming her door and going back to bed. She plucked up her phone from the couch, where she had dropped it earlier. She dialed and got her aunt, she quickly explained the situation, and Carol agreed to check it out. Karin sighed as she hung up, she could feel her muscles slowly relaxing. Karin assumed Tara was calming down as well; considering she wasn’t acting like a rabid monkey any more. Karin and Tara waited silently for about fifteen minutes until there was a knock followed by her aunt’s voice. She got up as fast as she could (about as fast as a slug, it was almost two in the morning and her sugar high had worn off) unlocking the door to let her in.

          “Why did you have the door locked? Look there is no one out here; you probably just heard it coming from the highway.” Carol said, looking tired in her flannel pajamas. Karin felt her jaw drop in disbelief.

          “Are you kidding me she was knocking on the doors, the whole trailer was practically shaking!” Karin exclaimed.

          “I think you just heard it from the highway, everything is really calm tonight so sound travels really well. You should get some sleep now.” And with that Carol left.

          Karin and Tara stared at the now closed door, no one believed them. And their witness was practically mauled by the two of them before she woke up, Kaitlin wouldn’t be any help convincing people of what had happened. Karin walked to the door and locked it again, there was no way she would leave it unlocked in case the drunken, evil lady came back.

          “I’m not going to sleep with that woman out there.” Tara stated.

          “Agreed, I guess we’ll just have to eat more candy, drink more pop, and watch more movies. It’s a shame… it really is.” Karin replied with an evil giggle, she usually had a cute giggle but because it was evil it sounded more like she was choking on a cracker.

          “Okay, what should we watch next?” Tara asked.

          “Hmm, I know!” Karin said excitedly and brought out The Grudge.

          The girls plopped down on the couch and plugged in the horror movie. Through out the movie they both kept taking quick glances at the door, never turning their backs to it. Little did they know at the edge of the property a stumbling woman moved slowly down the road away from the property, moaning and breaking twigs. The woman tripped and ended in a heap, when she got back up she didn’t notice she was walking in the opposite direction, back into the trees.
