Be mine Valentine - Horror

Chapter 4- Who's That?

“28, 02, 25. Come on.” I struggled to open my locker for the fifth time already. I heard someone laughing near by and turned to face her. The blonde girl walked over to me with a devilish smile.

“Having trouble?” She said with a smirk.

“Yes, actually. Could you help me?” I said trying to act innocent.

“What’s your code?”

“28, 02, 25” she nudged me aside and in three turns the lock came off. 

“Thank you” I said smiling at her.

“The name’s Claudia.” She held out her hand to me and I took it.

“Valentine.” I said back. She looked at me curiously and then said.

“Your new here, let me show you around.” She pulled my arm around hers so that they linked. We took a tour around the whole school. The bell rang and she showed me where my next two classes were before heading to hers. I had English and Art.

I had a feeling I was going to like it here.

My first day went by so quickly and Claudia had made plans for us after school. It’s only been one day and I already have a best friend.

“Where are we going Claudia?” I asked as she and I walked out of school with linked arms.

“Were going to my place.” She had answered back.

I kept silent for the rest of the walk. We turned down a street full of big white houses, we kept walking until we got to the end of the road. Claudia stopped and tried to pull the strings of her corset.

“Give me a hand will ya?” She asked.

I nodded and undid the strings. Once it was off Claudia took a deep sigh. 

“Oh thank Baby Jesus. I thought I was going to pop.” She said giggling.

I giggled too. Then Claudia pulled my strings undone.

We raced to the house at the very end of the street with our corsets in our hands. 

The house was huge I couldn’t believe my eyes, it was a pale yellow colour. Claudia pulled out a key once we arrived at the front door.

“Is this your house?” I asked wide eyed.

“Yep, you like it?”

“I love it, it’s amazing!” I answered back 

She just giggled and pulled me inside

“Mum I’m home!” She ran up the wooden staircase and disappeared around a corner. A couple seconds later a skinny woman wearing a white short skirt and a bikini top with a dead animal wrapped around her neck walked down the stairs.

“Hi honey, why aren’t you a cute little thing” She said with a big smile.

“I’m Mrs. Riley, Claudia’s mum but you can call me Emma!” Her voice echoed through the house.

“I’m Valentine.” I said back.

“Oh that’s a cute name. Are you guys gonna jump in the pool?” She asked taking a sip of her martini.

There was a voice coming from upstairs.

“Hey Val, you coming?” Claudia asked.

“Yep Hun she’ll be right up. By the way I have to pick your brother up from school I’ll be back soon.” Emma gave me a wink and Claudia groaned.

I nodded my good bye to her and made my way up the stairs. I turned the corner into a big room with a glass window covering the whole wall, overlooking the whole backyard and a forest.
