Cooper- I had just finished putting on all of my makeup. I was going to be a werewolf for this fine, Friday Halloween.
"Jasmine are you ready?" I shout into the hall. No response.
Walking out of the room, I noticed how tight the jeans I'm wearing are. I turn right into Jasmine's room to get her going.
"Jasmine hurry up the grown ups will like us even less if we go out late" we were probably way too old to be trick-or-treating so we had to go early.
"I'm almost done get off my ass" she always took her time to look her best on every occasion. The point of Halloween wasn't to be glamorous anyways. She walks out of her bathroom, scantily clad in black leather. A cat. How creative. Her boobs were all pushed up and she probably had more clothes off than on. I don't really care but while I get giant chocolate bars she'll get dirty looks from the parents.
"Ok let's find Camille and go" she moved her hips a lot more than usual "Your costume looks good by the way. So sexy" I'm pretty sure she was 60% sarcastic and 40% sincere. It was hard to tell with her.Jasmine- Ok so I really tried hard to sound sarcastic when I said his costume was sexy. I could see his chest from his torn shirt and DAAAMMMNN. What does he even do here to have abs and pecs like what? Anyways we go to get Camille to head out.
"Camille are you ready yet we want to go soon." I yell into her bathroom.
"I've been ready for an hour." Her costume was really cool I don't know how she got it together. She was Maleficent: realistic horns, amazing makeup, and a beautiful dress with a matching cane.
"It looks amazing omg" yes I actually said omg and not oh my god. "Let's go then" I say as we walk out.
"Yass girl and I can see you skanked up real good." I was pretty used to her backhanded comments so I'm not bothered.
"Whatever lets just go." We make our way down the stairs to meet Cooper at the door.
"Daayyumn boy you fine" Camille's reaction is pretty much the same as mine except she said it out loud. Even through the brown makeup I could tell Cooper was blushing.Camille - We were out in the clean air now and away from the hairspray. Jasmine dressed like a super slut, no surprise there. But damn did Cooper look fine. He was wearing tight jeans, a cut up shirt, (chest hair omg) and his hair and makeup were yes. Anyhow we had to walk into town to get any action. The part of New Orleans that the house was is far away from any other houses.
"So do you guys want to do the French Quarter? Or is that too scary?" I really wanted to go so they had better say yes.
"Uh sure sounds fun." Cooper was down so Jasmine's opinion wasn't valid anymore.
"Ok we're going there." I cut Jasmine off before she could answer. It takes us 10 minutes to get to where we want to be. Ah the French Quarter. My very favorite part of the Crescent City. This was the "scary" part of town, which means the best Halloweens.
"Hey let's get Po-boys before we start" Jasmine actually had a good idea wow. We stop at the small sandwich shop and eat as we walk down the street.
"Trick-or-treat!" We say in unison at a base level apartment. We're given candy, and small toys. (Also cool about Halloween in New Orleans) we see all sorts of cool costumes: girls wrapped in snakes, boys dressed as pirates, and everything in between. The best part was the decorations. Amazing light displays, spiderwebs around everything, and fake graves with zombie parts sticking out. On the way we look around at stores, all done up for the Halloween festivities. We go around the neighborhood until our pillowcases are filled with treats and trinkets. It's around 11 o'clock when we're on our way out of the city and a group of stupid teenage boys jump out in front of us.Cooper - Teenage boys are annoying as hell. (I have first hand experience)
"Give us all your candy losers" the fat one says in a teasing way.
"Ooh I'm scared now get out of the way jackass" Of course Camille always knows how to get them and get them good. I have to hold in a laugh but I don't do a very good job.
"What are you laughing at punk" a real tall and skinny guy in a skeleton suit glares at me.
"Oh nothing. It's just that you guys are doing a piss poor job of scaring us if that's what you're getting at." I'm actually proud of myself for getting through that comeback without stuttering. All 4 of the smelly guys grumble as they think of a comeback.
"Ok are we done here then" Jasmine finally joins the argument. It's about time. We start to walk away but one of the boys grabs Jasmine's wrist, only to be slapped and called a pedo.
"What the hell" Jasmine was super angry and they knew it. She saw her chance and took it. One of the guys was holding a drink, so she took one look at it and smiled.
"Okay okay we'll leave you alone" they back off. As they leave the one guy takes a sip and falls over. I can hear them in the distance
"Guys he's not breathing"
"It was that girl she did it"
"Jasmine what was that are you trying to get us caught?" I yell at her. It was stupid what she did. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that there are witches in New Orleans, and now these boys know who.
"They were getting on my nerves." She said with a guilty look. We all knew that wasn't the reason.
"Jasmine you just killed that kid" I said as I looked over to the friends who were crouched around him crying. She should feel bad.Jasmine- I just wanted to prove that I could use my power. It was stronger than I wanted. I never meant for the kid to die. It slowly came to me. I had just killed an innocent boy because I wanted to prove something to myself. My knees buckle and I fall down with my hand over my mouth. Now I'm bawling on the ground; Cooper and Camille are sitting next to me, telling me it would be all right, but I could tell that deep down they were horrified of what I did. Eventually I get up and walk over to the boys. They don't look up. Maybe I should try something.
"Let me help" I say.
"How. You already killed him." He chokes back a sob, and I have to as well. I squat down next to him and try to breathe life into this boy. I concentrate as much as I can. So much I get dizzy. He starts to sputter and cough. My eyes are wide open when he sits up and starts taking.
"It was so dark" is all I heard before I fell over sideways and hit my head on a tree root.Camille- That was some freaky shit Jasmine pulled off. I'm pretty amazed actually. I didn't think anyone at the house had the power of resurgence. I guess it was a new power she had. Lots of us gained a few more powers as we aged, but not as many as the supreme would have.
"Jasmine are you ok" I slap her face a couple times just to make sure. She eventually gets up.
"Where did the boys go?" She says still half asleep.
"They're long gone. One of them even left his number for you." I was holding the candy wrapper he had written it on in my hand still. "Let's go back to the house it's getting late." Everyone silently agrees and we head home. Nobody talks on the way back. We were all shaken by the fact that Jasmine had killed a guy and resurrected him within 15 minutes. We go up to the second floor and go our separate ways to our rooms. As I walk past Jasmine I slip the candy wrapper into her palm. I grab Cooper as he reaches the top of the stairs and kiss him on the cheek. I do a little wave and walk off. Before I go into my room for the night I can see him smiling and touching where my lips had fallen on his face.
