guys wouldn't be coming back, they should at least be...”
Keeley shook her head, smiling at Eve gently.
“Think coffee and donuts, cookies and cake, sometimes dancing. Anything more was probably frowned on, and certainly wasn't official. It probably happened, but...”
“Oh... Well, I guess I can see that. Easier to get by the people at school too. Sounds a little boring though.”
As Eve smiled there was a crack from Darla's room, then a crash. A loud boom followed and everyone, even the blond, jumped. Suddenly a blue mist seeped out of the room, and the scent of ozone filled the air, the room smelled like a thunderstorm was about to hit. From the look on Darla's face that was probably not too far off. The ghost they'd captured came out first, but scuttled off through a solid wall without pausing to see if anyone was still around. It apparently didn't like the idea of being captured again. Keeley could sympathize. She'd never been stuffed in a tiny jar herself, but it didn't sound fun.
The next two things made the first look ridiculous, like a movie special effect from a children's film. That or something that would have been at home at a Halloween haunted house.
They were different beings altogether. Menacing and hard to look at. The first small and black, an inky movement along the floor and hovering in the air that made Hally scream when she saw the three dimensional shadow. Eve just froze, which was good, because two loud ear piercing screams would be too much.
One set the mood just right.
It moved toward them fluidly, but didn't stop until Darla moved into its path and held her arms out. The thing stopped then, like it hit a wall. Kind of like the first ghost had with her earlier. Something to keep in mind? They could block these things if they got in the way on purpose? Maybe it was the intent that did it. If she didn't want them to pass or something. Well, Keeley could get behind that.
The second thing to come around the corner was huge.
And solid.
It was clear that everyone in the room saw it clearly and Hally didn't bother with making noise this time, she just fainted.
Keeley really couldn't blame her. All those diet pills had to take a toll after all.
If you took a standard “red-devil” image, made it brown instead of bright and cheery red, covered the shoulders with fur, gave it an animal pelt loin cloth and then beat it with an ugly stick for half an hour, your work day would be half done. It was large, its head near nine foot high and its weight probably could have given a family car a run for its money. The eyes glowed a bright and ugly yellowish orange that looked like what little kids wanted to paint the sun as, not realizing it was a lot closer to white now that it had begun its helium burning cycle.
It also moaned.
“I'll kill you bitch!” It said, stomping into the room hard with a cloven hoof, leaving the floor cracked and damaged in its wake.
Keeley winced. The floors looked expensive.
Things tightened inside her stomach as she looked at the creature and Eve started to hyperventilate. They needed to run, to get away. Fear boiled off the thing and bit her hard, her heart racing and feeling like it would rip out of her chest. Suddenly though she realized something. The feeling wasn't coming from within her, but from the thing in front of her.
It was making them afraid?
Kind of rude. Keeley stepped forward, trying to project bravery she didn't feel at all. Subtly the thing moved with her, leaning away. She made a mental note of that.
“Um, Darla?” She said, her voice hesitant.
“Yes?”
“Is this an ex-boyfriend of yours? I've never had one myself, an ex, but the description sounds about right, big, ugly, bit of an odor problem, stomping around angrily... Am I missing anything?” She held her voice to a very matter of fact tone. If it wanted her to be afraid, then she didn't want to
