Superhero

Chapter 2: Creature

 "Feel free to dig in!" Lily said. The nine other girls rushed over to the island in the kitchen and grabbed paper plates and bowls for ice cream, cake and chips. Doritos, Lays, and Pringles cans littered the island in the kitchen. The girls stacked their plates with junk food before opening the sliding door to the sun room. Emma went inside first. The sun room was made almost completely of glass, and it had white carpet and three beige couches surrounding a coffee table, facing a wall that was painted beige, with a TV hanging from it. Emma sat down on one of the couches and placed her plate on the coffee table. The other girls started to pour in.

"Hey Emma! What's new? I haven't seen you in a long time." Lily sat down next to her.

"Not much, I got an A on my exam, but that's boring. I saw that new Spider-man movie trailer, that looked super cool." Emma conversed with Lily.

"Yeah, but i'm waiting for something better. I don't have cable TV, so I only have Netflix, and season five of The Flash hasn't come on Netflix yet!" Lily said.

"Yeah me too, but I'd like to disagree that The Flash is somehow better than the Spider-man movies. Mysterio's in it!" Emma told her.

"Uh-huh. Sure. Oh, everyone's in here! I have to announce the movie!" Lily noticed. She got up from the couch and stood in the front of them. "Everybody! Guys! Guys! Guys! Movie time! Guys! The movie we are going to watch is Monty Python and the Holy grail!"

"I've never seen that one. Is it good?" Ava asked.

"Yeah! It's really funny, like stupid funny. It can get inappropriate at one part, but we can handle it, we're middle schoolers." Lily explained. All the sudden the sliding door opened, and everybody stopped talking.

"Hey Lily, your father and I are going to go away for a little bit. What movie are you kids watching?" Lily's mom popped through the door to say.

"Monty python and the holy grail." Lily said, while searching through Netflix.

"Okay, we will be gone for a little while, you girls behave yourselves." Lily's mom walked out of the room and shut the door again.

"Hmm. Cool." Sasha said before they all went back to their own conversations. Lily clicked the play button on the Netflix screen, and the movie started playing.

"Oh, the movie is starting!" Sasha told everyone. The before credits played, and they laughed at the subtitles. The movie played, and they laughed. The girls watched the movie until it got dark outside, and Lily's parents were still not home yet. They quoted sayings from the movie with them, and they got to the bridge of death scene, witch the knew all too well.

"There it is!" Ellie started.

"The bridge of death!" Lily continued.

"Oh great." Emma said after Lily.

"Look, there is the old man from scene 24!" Lily replied.

"What is he doing here?" Rey continued.

"He's the keeper of the bridge of death. He asks each traveler five questions.." Lily said with the movie.

"Three questions." Ellie winked.

"Three questions, oh my gosh I can't do this!" Lily laughed. They all continued laughing, and watching the movie. But all the sudden, the movie screen went black.

"What happened? I was liking that movie!" Ava said. Lily had a confused look on her face as she got up from the couch. She reached for the remote on the coffee table, and grasped her hand around it. Everybody else watched Lily try to turn the TV back on in silence. Lily clicked the power button to try to turn on the TV. The remote apparently didn't like that, and it popped and shocked Lily, and she screamed and dropped it. Sasha, Ellie and Ana stood up in surprise.

Sasha and Ellie went over to Lily and asked if she was okay. Ana kneeled down and examined the remote. "What the absolute heck?" Ana whispered to herself. The bottom of the remote was burnt to a crisp, and where the batteries used to be, there was not even a trace of them. Emma reached to turn on the light, and flipped the switch on. But the switch didn't budge. It wasn't that the light just wasn't turning on, the switch wouldn't move.

"The switch won't move. I can't move it. Lily? Help?" Emma asked. Lily walked over to Emma and shoved the switch. It still wouldn't budge.

"This is getting weirder by the minute." Via said, as she got up from the couch and looked around with wide eyes.

"Yeah, quite creepy too. Can we get out of this room?" Ava said as she pointed outside to the back of the room. They all looked at what Ava was pointing at, and their jaws dropped. You could even see fear in Ana's eyes, witch none of them had ever seen before. A hulking silhouette of a figure was outside the door, tall and skinny, with long arms and long, bony fingers. It's legs bent like a dog's, and it had a snout and ears. It was breathing heavily, its skinny shoulders moving up, then down, then up again, slowly, agonizingly.

Ana was the first to get to the door, yanking hard, as that wouldn't budge either. Ana turned around to the figure walking up to the window, and laying it's large hand with long, bony fingers against the glass. The figure was almost twice the size of them, towering over their window. The girl's eyes watched as the figure's creepy fingers curled, and scratched at the glass. Long claw marks appeared on the glass, and the creature lowered its hands, and just watched the kids try to open the door.

All the sudden, the TV turned back on. But instead of playing the movie, the TV was on a lady, half in the shadows. The lady on the TV had long curly red hair, and the top half of her face was hidden in the shadows. You could only see her eyes on the top had of her face, which were almost white they were so light blue. She looked pretty but creepy. She opened her mouth.

"Hello kids."
