| "And this wing of the musem is newly opened." The woman says as she guides the group of kids through the musem. "And ahead is the Egyptian exibit." the guide explains. A group of teen boys lagging behind the others spots a young girl.. "Isn't that the new girl?" One of them says to the others while pointing to Alaina. They follow her to the next exibit taunting her with cat calls. Later in the day they approach another room. "And this unique piece of history is from our very own mountain. The ruins as you can see were etched into the stone by an unknown source. The experts say it is as if the stone just cracked into these shapes. Also if you can see on the very edge of the block is writing. No one yet has been able to interpret it. Moving on." The guide walks the rest of the group out. Alaina and the boys from earlier stay behind. The boys approach her as she is leaning up against the railing examining the large block of stone. "Hey there Georgous." One says as they lean beside her. She looks at him. "Hi." She replies uninterested. "Nice outfit." he continues. "It would look good on my floor." She looks at him. "Aw.." She grabs him between the legs. He shreiks like a little girl. "Nice Testicles. They'd look good on my wall." She speezes her hand around him, and then pushes him roughly away. "F***!" he says as he tries to catch his breath. His buddies help him to his feet, and then out of the room. "Jackass." Alaina says to herself. She looks back at the block of stone, closely examining the writing. "It's Latin." she steps under the railing, and walks closer. "Ok, um......the first word is. . . For her crime.... somtheing about a tomb." she thinks aloud. "For her crime, these walls be her tomb. If released you'll witness your doom. The wrath of a woman once scorned. The one we wish were never born. Death shall come to all we love, if she's awakened by her blood." Alaina crawls back under the railing, and looks back at the stone. "Weird." she walks out of the room. As she steps out, the room begins to shake. The stone block begins to chip and crack. A loud pop is heard as the rock falls away revealing a women standing there. Her face is familiar, and her hair and eyes are dark. She is dressed in a long robe made mostly of black fur. In her hands is a large white diamond with a blue center. She looks around the room slowly as she walks out of the rubble. "What be this?" she questions her surroundings. A gaurd rushes in pulling his gun. "Freeze!" She looks at him tilting her head. "Freeze?" she asks. As she aproaches the gaurd he begins to choke, he drops his gun, and falls to his knees. She stands just a few steps in front of him. She opens her mouth wide letting out a high pitched scream. The man's skin turns grey, every bit of liquid being pulled from his body into her. A moment later nothing is left of the man but a shell. The woman closes her mouth, walks by him, and stops only to breathe heavly on him. His body falls to dust. "You freeze." she says to the pile of dust on the floor as she walks out. "I think I'm going to like it here." * * * "The scene has local athorities baffled. A large block of stone, resting in the north wing of the musem, was found in pieces today. The atifact, that was removed for our very own moutain, was part of a new exibit. The strange thing is that this "stone" seemed to be hollow. And some believe that it may infact have had something inside." A young reporter on the news speaks infront of the musem. "More on this story as it unfold." Gwen walks by the television and turns it off. She walks into the kitchen joining Alaina who is sitting at the bar filling her face with cereal. "There was something on the news about the musem." Alaina looks up at her. "What was it?" she says with a mouth full of Lucky Charms. "Don't talk with your mouth full please." Gwen scolds her. "Something about a.... stone something?" she sits down beside Alaina. "You wouldn't happen to know anything about it would you?" Alaina swallows the cereal. "If I said no, would you believe me?" Gwen looks at her. "Alaina?" "I don't know anything. Ok. I was there yesterday but I didn't touch anything I swear." Alaina looks over at Gwen with puppy-dog eyes. "Ok, I believe you." Gwen stands up and turns to leave the room. "I swear I don't know what to do with you." she stops in mid step. Her eyes roll behind her head, her body jerks, and her skin grows pale. She turns to Alaina her dark bown eyes turn to blue as they roll back into place. "Death shall come to all we love, when she's awakened by her blood." She walks slowly towards Alaina. Alaina jumps up out of her chair, she backs into the kitchen door, and clasps her hand around the door knob. "Gwen?" Alaina screams and closes her eyes as she hears a loud clank that is followed by a thud. She opens her eyes to see Brodrick with a frying pan in his hand. "Are you ok?" he asks. "Gwen? Are you alright?" Alaina asks as Gwen comes back into contiousness. "Ouch, what happened?" Gwen grumbles. "Brodrick hit you with a frying pan. It made a cool sound." Alaina says energeticly. "That would explain my headache." she reaches her hand to the back of her head. "And the golf ball sized knot on my head." She looks over to Brodrick who is sitting in the corner. "Hey, you hit me. You can help me up!" He stand and walks over to her to help her stand. "I thought you were going to hurt her. Sorry." "It's ok I think she was possesed." Alaina says to Brodrick as he walks Gwen into the living room, and sets her down on the couch. |
