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." She said.

"Who's that and why is she on the TV?" Lila asked.

"Oh, silly child. You don't know who I am." The lady on the TV said. She had a soft and menacing voice.

"Of course not. You are talking to middle school girls that are just having a sleepover." Lily voiced.

"Of course not. That's why I have chosen you." Said the TV lady.

"You are talking gibberish lady." Ria said. She hasn't been talking for this whole time, and Emma jumped, because she forgot she was there.

"I'm wondering what you will do for what you who love. I'm curious. Would you do the impossible?" The TV lady said.

"What do you mean?" Lily asked, looking oddly at the lady in the TV.

"Isn't it odd that your parents aren't home yet?" The lady replied with a smirk.

"No. No. It's not true. Please tell me that's not true!" Lily yelled at the TV.

"They are still alive, and so are the rest of your parents. I'm just keeping them safe and sound." The lady replied.

All the girls started yelling at the TV and Ava burst into tears. "WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH?" Ria outright screamed at the TV.

"Don't worry. Bills will be paid as normal, and income will be just as normal, and your parents won't lose their jobs, and school will be the same. Just less distraction and more motivation to hurt." The TV lady quietly replied, obviously not phased by all the yelling.

"Why?" Ava screamed at the TV in tears.

"I'm bored." Replied the TV lady.

"WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? YOU CAN'T JUST DO THIS BECAUSE YOU ARE BORED!" Ria yelled at the TV lady again.

"I'd like to think of myself as Abika. And of course I can do this! I'm me!" The TV lady said happily.

"Guys, I know the problem at hand is bad, but that creature is still at the window." Emma voiced. The girls looked at the wolf-like scary creature with long bony fingers just standing there, breathing slow, agonizing breaths.

"Oh, that's my creature. I like to think of him as Beast 62." Abika said on the TV, looking over to the Beast at the window.

"There are sixty-two of those things?" Lila asked.

"No, oh no. That is just the sixty-second experiment that actually worked. There is only one of him." Abika said, going back to looking at the girls. "So are you willing to do the impossible to get your parents back?" And with that, the creature was gone and the movie turned back on.
