Chapter 1: The Last Straw!
I whislted the familiar tune of Jingle Bells softly to myself as I adjusted the beautiful star that had it's place on the tip of the tree. It was a couple of days before Christmas and everything had to be done....now! I stood back to examine my work. Nice. I nodded my head in approval before heading back to my room. The darkness crept over me as I entered, but a flick of the light changed that. I smiled in relief as I looked around and observed my room. Lately things in my room have been different. Some one mysterious had been playing pranks on me, and I didn't like it. All of my underwear was replaced with boxers, the next day a rat was placed in my room, and I almost sat on it! EWW! I finished up inspecting my room when my gaze fell upon something...MY PRIZED PORTRAIT! I ran over to my wall and observed it. There was red crayon colored over the eyes and mouth! It took me 2 weeks to do that! I won 1st place and now it was ruined!
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!" I shouted in rage as I stomped my foot in fury. The ringing of the door bell knocked me back into reality. I tried to calm down by taking deep breaths but that didn't work. I paced my ways downstairs and opened the front door.
"Hey Jen." My cousin Sam greeted dully, by the look of her nose and cheeks, she was cold. I gestured for her to come inside and her 7 year old sister and her mother soon followed.
"Evening everyone." I said politly as I could as they headed upstairs to the living room. Sam placed her drawing stuff down and walked over to me. I flashed her a smile and she leaned in close, then whispered in my ear.
"Anything new?" She asked me, looking around to make sure no one was looking. I nodded as an expression of anger made its way on my face. I grabbed her hand and pulled her to my room. We both entered my room and I pointed to my vandalized picture. Her eyes widened and she walked up close it.
"Dang." She whispered as she observed it closer. I scoffed and nodded.
"Tell me about it." I replied quietly, she turned back around and flopped on my bed. I sighed and sat down on my floor.
"Why would someone do that? I didn't do anything wrong!" I groaned in frustration as I leaned back into a lying position. My gaze fell to the random objects beside me and a smile spread across my face.
"Hey I know something that will cheer me up." I said reaching for the object, I looked at it and smiled in delight.
"What?" Sam asked me, I smiled at her and held up the object in triumph. The one thing that always made me happy.
The Nightmare Before Christmas.
She nodded and I placed the DVD in the player. We both sat on my bed as I clicked off the lights. We sung along to the opening song and danced with joy. Just then, something ruined our fun. A huge rock smashed right through my window. Sam and I imediently jumped from my bed in fright and stared at the rock.
"AHHHHHHH!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. My parents were downstairs in the garage so luckily they didn't hear me. We stood there in silence, until Sam turned to me and cocked an eyebrow.
"Who do you think did it?" She asked me, I shrugged.
"Like I have any idea!" Just then, we heard it. Laughter. Not just any laughter, but little diabolical laughter. Sam and I knew them all too well.
Lock Shock and Barrel.
