The
Shadow: Part 1
The following is
a short story. :)
“ Woot. The
mall.” Said Alison Moore sarcastically. She was late, as
always.
“ Did anyone else get this letter?”
I asked while pulling out a manila letter with very cool looking
calligraphy.
“ Yea I did.” Said Alison, Selena, and Molly, while
pulling theirs
out.
Mine said:
Dear Miss Emily
Smith,
You have been accepted to Harvard University. We cordially invite
you to a night at the Shadow Estates. Where you will meet your
future classmates and make life long friendships. The dress code
is formal. The rest of the information is attached on a card. We
hope you can come.
“ Mine says that too. I never
applied to Harvard though.” Molly replies.
“ Weird neither did we.” Selena and
Alison say.
“ Either did I, this is fishy. But at least there will be
others there besides the four of us.” I say.
After I got home from the mall, I shower. The “Night at the
Shadow Estates” is tonight at 6pm its already 3pm. After
washing my medium length chestnut brown hair with light brown
highlights, I paint my toenails and finger nails classy red. I
put on my one shoulder floor length black dress and put my hair
in a bun, I part my bangs to the right. I put on mascara and
semi-dark red lipstick. Lastly I slip on my black stilettos and
grab my red clutch. When I arrive at the Shadow Estates, I see my
friends. Alison is already whining about wearing a dress. Alison
is wearing a blue knee length baby-doll dress with spaghetti
straps. She has her very long strawberry blonde hair down with
bangs. She has contacts on instead of her glasses. She holds a
grey clutch and has her black converse sneakers on instead of
heels or in her words “ Female Feet Killers”. Molly
is in a strapless purple ball gown with her brown-black hair in
an up do. She also has a black clutch and black flats on.
She’s tall, she doesn't want to be any taller. The rest
of us are medium height. We need that boost of height. Selena is
in a short-sleeved black jacket and a strapless turquoise mermaid
style dress while holding a turquoise clutch with a Perry the
platypus sticker on it. She loves that Perry. Her brown hair is
curled and she has one her new black gladiator heels. I look up
at the Shadow Estates, its shadowy. I wonder where it got its
name. I giggle to myself.
“Bro, are you certain there's other people here?”
Asks Selena. I look around. No cars.“ No I wish I was
though.” I reply. As we walk towards the door, it opens by
itself. We walk in and the door closes by itself
again.
“ This way, ladies” Says a strange voice coming
from the kitchen.
“ This house is HUGE!” I whisper to Alison. The grand
staircase is in front of the door in the forayer. We turn left
into the dining room. There is a table with two chairs on each
side and one at the head of the table.
“ Where is everybody? You know our future
classmates?” I scream trailing off.
“They couldn’t come.” The voice says
emphasizing on couldn’t. I look around. Where did Alison
and Molly
go?
“ Where did you take my friends?” I ask accusing the
voice.
