“Warning labels don't apply”
"Hey, why don't you throw a party this Halloween?" Said Quinn getting ready for the last class
as he rapidly pulls his stuff together.
Quinn was probably the best thing I've had knows basically me inside and out but doesn't know
my history and I'm afraid to tell him because he's all I have and will have.
"Eh, you don't understand... Weird stuff happen to me on Halloween what if passes down to you
guys too," I replied unsure of what kind of reaction I'd get.
"Hahaha, Bridget sometimes you can really make someone laugh with your nonsense."
It wasn't any kind of surprise for me to say something like. She didn't understand anything nor
would she ever try. I used to be friends with Emily Stone, until we go to high school and just
separated. Oh, how do I miss her and I feel like such an awful person.
She knew what happened to me October 31, 2010. When someone tried to kill me along with my
parents. I haven't been the same ever since. I've been having weird powers the day I was looked
for. Sadly my mom and father weren't aware nor prepared for the mysterious male who came to
visit us. I was barely turning 12 when I saw my parents get killed with no explanation and
answer. Quinn was my boyfriend, not the best nor the brightest. But, he sure keeps me up the
social ladder at school. He's the only reason why I'm not such a freak or loner after my parents
death.
Otherwise, everyone knowing I'm a witch can really now put me in a position I wouldn't want. I
lack of what love from a family feels like. It makes me sad how must of the kids today don't
appreciate those they have close. I failed on my parents once on to help them. So will I fail
everyone if they come to his Halloween party.
"You don't under-" trying to squeeze some last words before the bell rings.
"Look I love you and I know you are stressed about the college applications you have submitted,
what can take off your stress with a little fun now?"
"I guess you are right, I mean we are the coolest party throwers." Replied with a frank smile.
Besides not much can go run when the purpose to to disguise yourself. No one is going to know
who I am under those rags of a costume. I felt Quinn's arms rap around me while walking down
the hall announcing the party at my house.
Then,
I received a text message from an unknown number...
11:24 a.m unknown
Be careful now Bridget, you don't want anyone to come and hurt you now. Have fun at your
party.
-R
No- this isn't going to happen. How can they know what's going on in my life in a matter of
seconds....
I didn't think about this too much someone is obviously playing a mindless sick joke. I go on off
to my next class, calculus being the most dreadful class. A little magic here an and there makes
the class a bit more interesting having the professors papers shoved all over the place. I felt a
presence near me but it wasn't anyone in my class, yet it felt so close and uncomfortable.
———
That afternoon I went to party city and wasted about 300 dollars of party supplies, food,
costume, and booze. Obviously, this isn't just any party is THE PARTY.
I bought myself a witch costume which kind of made sense for the person I really am although
it's still a secret yet people don't know about. I loved this being the one who is the live of the
party and makes it fun for everyone who's invited. I'm wondering if Emily would arrive to my
party. She always attends to them anyways, but not for the right reasons (to party). She came as
protector to make sure I was okay and hopefully safe. Although we don't talk nor consider
ourself as friends anymore she's always been there for me and so have I.
Not that being popular was just an importance I'm just scared of being alone after my parents
death. I don't exactly have a family I know about and I wasn't born quite normal either.i feel as I
need a crowd to feel like I'm not alone in this world and feel the love people feel towards me. I
must sound needy, but it's the honest truth. I've read and read about my magic powers and it's
known to have dark power that's why the "others" are coming to destroy me because they think
I'll seek revenge. Since the day I knew I had dark power I've been preparing myself and read
books in order to teach myself the way power. All I can be is prepared and not fear the unknown.
-------6:45 a.m unknown
Wake up sunshine don't want to be late for school nor miss the big day today.
-R
I grew a range of anger and decided to reply.
To: unknown
Obviously you aren't smart with technology I can track you via phone you dumb ass. You live in
lake view and if you dare to step into my neighborhood you'll be sorry you are alive
I through my bed into the wall not caring at this point wether it cracked or not. But today is the
day of the big party at my house. I have study hall in the morning so I decided to skip and work
on some of the decorations before I go to school in order to have less to do.
I got a reply back that startled me when I saw unknown across the screen.
6:54 a.m unknown
Alive isn't what your parents aren't.
-R
Ugh, that got me really mad the fact that someone can just play games like that. I'm seriously not
scared If he thinks he owes me tonight.
----------------"Hey, come in!" greeting everyone who's attend my party.
"Hey, great decorations. Thanks for inviting me." From various people coming side the house
people after people piling up.
I opened the door for those who kept coming and not surprisingly I saw Emily stone in my front
door with all black clothing and by the sound of instruments I was 100 percent convinced that
she had weapons under her selves.
"Today's a full moon, be careful Bridget we know they are coming to get you tonight." Emily
replied in a cold tone
"What how do you know? Have you been sending me those text messages pretending to be
someone else?" I asked her curiously. Maybe she disliked me for leaving her, but come on
puberty wasn't at her finest.
"You know I- wouldn't ever hurt you even though you hurt me."
I didn't even reply back I just walked into the living room and found my boyfriend playing with
his football team discussing the winning score between Oregon Ducks and UCLA Bruins. Of
course it's all about DUCKS!
I heard a odd notice upstairs like heavy footsteps so I decided to go check it out. I was pretty
convinced it was just a couple making out. I went up slowing hopefully not making any much
noise, the house was hard to see from all the fake fog and dark green lights. I opened the door
and I saw a male with a black leather coat with blood on his arms after killing a young couple.
"Hey, Bridget." Said the stranger
"What the hell do you want from me? Get the hell out before I call my boyfriend." Screaming as
loud as I can so Emily can hear my signal for help. But she was already a step ahead of the game
she was standing behind the door as my sidekick to defeat the evil of darkness.
"Copper stone runs a mile away from home. Make this man go back home. Send him to hell with
those who he belongs with. Kobra Westen Jojoba" casting a spell to rot in hell and leave me for
once at all.
"Hahaha you still haven't figured how to work with dark magic my ladyYou're pathetic just like your parents"
"Emily STOP- you'll get hurt" as I see her pull a stone with copper and came right into the heart
without hesitation. I use my force to have him stay leaning in back of the wall so he wouldn't
move.
"Haha ima burn your house and kill every one inside you hooligans, I'll come ba........c.....k"
cried the stranger burning his flesh.
"Thank you Emily, I'm sorry for almost getting yourself killed. You're my hero and you've
always been. Nothing's more stronger than friends who are considered family, please forgive me
for all I've done." Told her feeling guilty for what of a bad friend am I.
"I'd thought you'd never ask" widening her eyes and turn bright red.
"What's going on? Are you okay? Speak to me" I've shook her body from the reaction she was
having.
"You aren't the only one with dark magic, friend."
