I wake up in a cold sweat. Ana is still sleeping soundly on the floor rapped up in blankets. Her head is tucked under her pillow, I would have laughed if it weren't for the fact that I just saw my dead baby cousin. Actually her spirit...I think. This cant be the curse, curses aren't real, right? I'll have to ask my parents about it. Maybe they can tell me something about it. Maybe i can get rid of it.
Ana stirs in her floor bed thing as I get up to take a shower. I grab a shirt and shorts from my counter and walk into the bathroom. Tossing the sweaty clothes into a basket near by, I put my hair up and turn on the shower.
30 minutes later I walk out, fresh and clean. Glancing at the clock realizing how early it is, 5:00 a.m. Now what do I do? I am not going back to bed risking seeing that weird place again. Instead I grab my book of my bedside table and open to where I left off.
...
9:00 a.m. Ana finally woke up a hits me in the face with a pillow.
"VENN! Lets go do something fun before the party tonight!"
"I already told you I'm not going to that party."
"Hey that doesn't mean we cant have some fun today!"
"Alright fine."
She jumps around the room grabbing her things and running into the bathroom. I decide to change into something a little more comfortable. Jeans, a baggy shirt, and my blue vans. My phone vibrates from under my pillow, I walk over to grab it but immediately put it down when I realized who it is.
After a few minutes of waiting Anna walks out the bathroom with a high bun. Wearing blue jean shorts, a tank top, and white all star converse.
"So Venn where do you want to go first?" Ana walks over to my counter and grabs her purse sitting on top.
"This was your idea so you decide." She glances around the room, looking for something to give her an idea about where to go. She spots my ice skates in a corner and immediately her face lights up. "How about ice skating!?" Although its not very cold outside, there is an indoor ice skating rink just a few miles from my house. I haven't gone ice skating in so long...
"Now that sounds like a good idea!"
...
The inside of the Rink was a lot colder then I expected. Yea I know Ice rink, its supposed to be cold, that's kinda the point but shut up. I haven't been here in years. Ana sprints full speed across the building earning a few glances from the people eating in the near by dinner inside the building. When I finally caught up to her she was jumping up and down with skates in her hands.
"Venn come tie my shoes!"
"Fine, go sit on that bench."
She skips over to the bench and sits down. Grabbing her skates I put each one on her feet.
"OW, that's to tight!" She jumps when I pull on the laces.
"Shut up, do you want to break your ankles?" Silence. "That's what I thought."
After tieing her skates, I put on my own Bright blue skates. Well I think they are bright blue... The box said bright blue... Did I ever mention I'm slightly color blind? Welp, I am. Standing up in my skates I walk over to the rink and step onto the cold ice and taking in a big breath and relaxing my every muscle. Effortlessly I glide across the ice. There were only about 7 people on the ice so I decided to take advantage of this and do a trick or two. After gliding around for a while I lift one leg up doing a figure eight. From there I put my leg down and pick up speed jumping into the air twisting mid jump. I land perfectly Facing the wall. Turning around I realize I may have over done it. Everyone, including staff, were standing at the end of the ice watching the show I accidentally put on. Clapping started soon after. But something was off. There was another woman skating around in a beautiful performance costume. I watched her flip, twist, and spin in beautiful movements.
"Venn! That was amazing! Where did you learn to do that?!" Ana started wobbling slowly towards me from across the ice. I ignored what she said. I was two busy watching the woman who was now skating toward Ana at an extremely fast speed.
"Ana watch out!" I closed my eyes not wanting to see something like that. What an amazing friend I am. But the sound of impact never came.
"Venn what are you talking about?" I open my eyes to see Ana standing there struggling to stay upright. Looking around The woman was no where to be found.
"The lady s-she was r-right there." This is to much, she vanished in plain sight.
"What are you talking about?" She glances over her shoulder. Looking for this so called woman I was talking about. "No one is there, come on teach me how to skate, this ice is too slippery!"
No way... she was right there. That's it I'm asking my parents about this curse.
