Trick or Treat
"Can we get started?" A light haired man asked, walking into the schools office.
Does anyone know you're here?" Another man asked, his dark hair was combed back off his face.
"No, not even my daughter." The light haired man confirmed.
"I do hope everything is ready for tonight." He then said in a threatening manner.
"Sorry I'm late, Wesker. I hope I haven't missed much." Another one burst in through the door. This one seemed a little younger than the other two. His ginger hair was more messier than the other two.
"No nothing much as usual" Albert confirmed.
oOo
It was the night of the party and Jessica went over to one of the tables to grab herself a drink. Her eyes then landed on a dark haired woman talking to Chris. She was dressed in what looked to be a pirate outfit. Her long hair were hung in curls just passed her shoulders.
"Jill, nice outfit." Jessica commented sarcastically. "It actually goes well with your personality."
"Just excuse me, ladies." Chris told them, putting his phone to his ear.
"Funny, so does yours. If I decide to adopt a cat. You'll be the first one I take home." Jill smiled.
Jessica started to fan herself with her hand. "I hope you're not trying to turn to me on."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm taken."
"Not if I have my way." Jessica winked. She then turned back to Chris who was just putting his phone away. "Who was on the phone?"
"Albert, he's running a little late. He was also telling me about the new soccer field that is being built.
"Work. I should have known." Jessica rolled her eyes but pretended to look interested. "Go on."
"How's the party going?"
"Barry," Jill's smile widened at seeing her friend, giving him a hug. "I thought you couldn't make it."
"I'm not stopping, Moira left her jacket here. I just came to pick it up." Barry held the young girls coat up. "I've just left her in the car just in case I couldn't find it."
"So one drink won't hurt. Will it?" Jill pointed towards the bowl of punch. "Don't worry it's child friendly."
oOo
"Nice costume. Very, revealing." Ada said looking the woman up and down. "Who are you trying to be, Lisa Garland? The red cardigan kind of gives it away."
I'll take that as a compliment, coming from you." Carla folded her arms across her chest. "I'm guessing you didn't get the memo about dressing up.
"Is that supposed to be an insult?" Ada smirked.
"No, I don't do those. Where's your black cat and pointed nose?" Carla laughed. Her eyes trailed from the witch's hat down to Ada's long black dress. "I hate to tell you this because I don't want you embarrasing yourself but I think your thighs might be too big for the dress, there's a split up one side of it.
Ada just shook her head and tried to hold a laugh in.
"Carla." A voice called from behind Ada.
Both women turned to see Jill coming over.
"I love your costume. Very sexy." Carla said once the dark haired woman was in close contact.
Jill threw her arms up in disbelief. "I was going to say that."
"Well, thanks. I was actually coming as Ada but my wig blew off outside."
Carla, you really don't stop to impress. Do you?" Ada questioned. Folding her arms.
"Hey, its my three favourite girls." Leon greeted, tipping his pirate hat."
oOo
Alex was just grabbing herself a glass of punch. Footsteps were heard just behind. She knew who it was without turning around.
"So underneath that hard interior. Your really an angel." Claire blurted out before she could stop herself.
Alex never flinched, instead she just turned to face the woman in question with a smirk plastered on her face.
"I was just going to say the same thing to you." She said handing her a glass of punch. "I wouldn't have took you for a country girl. Are you sure those shorts arn't illegal?"
"Oh come on, they're not that short. Anyway you can blame my boyfirend. He told me to wear them."
"You never told me you had a boyfriend." Gina cut in.
"Gina, Rachael. Look at you two. Let me guess little red riding hood?" Claire said changing the subject fast. She pointed to Gina first and then to Rachael. "Alice in wonderland."
"It was Gina's idea." Rachael put an arm around her sister.
"A girl has to keep with her English roots."
The lights suddenly started to flash and then the whole room went black.
"Ah, no," everyone started to moan.
"It's ok. The back up generator should kick in." Alex reassured them.
It didn't take long before the lights did come on.
"Hooray." Someone cheered once they lit up.
"Wait, where's Chris?" Jill asked noticing he wasn't in the hall.
"He was here a few minutes ago." Jessica said.
"Someone has lost quite a lot of blood. Lets hope it's not Chris." Barry confessed.
Jill ran over to Barry. "I'm going to look for him. Make sure he's ok."
"Jill, a word before you go." Albert placed a hand on her back to steer her over to a quiet area of the hall. "You're the only one I can trust. I'm counting on you to find him."
"Is there something you're not telliing us." Jill questioned.
"Look all I know is I think some wants this school to close and they're doing everything in their power to destroy it. I want you to find out who it is."
"Sure thing Wesker."
He then headed over to his sister. "If you need me, I'll be in my office."
Alex noticed everyone seemed to be getting a little nervous and agitated over waiting to see what had happened to Chris.
"Could I get your attention." Alex shouted over all the talking. "I know you're all worried but I would just like to reassure you all, that Chris will be fine and if any of you would like to leave. please do."
Carla was the first to speak up. "I better go. I 'm supposed to be babysitting Helena and Deborah. Allyson said she would pick them up for me. while I came here but I guess Chris has done me a favour."
"I'll walk you out." Ada offered.
"I'll see you all Monday." Leon waved his goodbyes."
"I'm staying. I need to know Chris is ok." Claire cut in.
"Me too," Rachael put her hand up. "Plus Jill is our ticket home.
Claire pulled her phone out from the back pocket of her shorts. She dialled Chris' number about 5 times but it went straight to voice mail. She then pushed it back into her pocket only to pull it out again to check her messages. She did this about every 5 minutes before finally caving in.
"I don't care what happens to me, but I can't just stay here and wait until we get news from Barry and Jill. I'm going to look for him myself."
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Alex put her hand on her shoulder to stop her from going anywhere. Before Claire could protest the lights suddenly went out again. This time, they didn't come back on.
"I'm going to call Jill. See if her and Barry are ok." Rachael grabbed her phone from her bag, she had hung at the back of the hall.
"Any luck?" Jessica asked after five minutes.
"No it just keeps going to voice mail. I'm going to go look for them."Rachael said walking back to Gina. "Stay here."
"Ok. Just be careful. You know what the doctor said." Gina whispered.
"I'll go with her." Jessica pit a hand on the young woman to stop her from worrying.
"You'll be needing some light. I'll go and grab you a flashlight from the store room." Alex offered.
oOo
"I'll meet you at the front. I'm just on my way out now." Carla told the blonde before hanging up. She grabbed the door handle and pulled on it. "It's locked."
"I can see that." Ada said then turning to Leon. "You don't happen to have any keys on you. Do you?"
"No, after every shift I usually leave them with Miss Wesker." Leon admitted.
"Looks like we're staying after all." Ada rolled her eyes. "Come on, we're not going to find her, standing here.
"Aaaahhhhhhh," a scream then echoed down the hall.
"Ada, if your can hold onto me." Leon smirked.
"In your dreams." Ada spat back.
"Is it me or did that scream sound like Jill. Come on we need to find her." Carla beckoned for them to follow her. She ran ahead and disappeared into the darkness.
"Carla, we should stick together." Leon called after her but it was too late. "Well looks like it's just us."
"Not now."
oOo
"Please tell me why I decided to come with. My feet are killing."
Rachael shined her torch around her surroudings looking for some sort of clue. "
"I never asked but how did you go on after the break in. Do they know who it is?" Jessica decided ask after her first conversation was ignored.
"I'm coping." The blonde then shook her head. "No they don't have any clue."
They passed a few classrooms which all seemed to be locked apart from one. Which happened to be the science lab.
"I think there's someone in there." Jessica tugged at her friends arm.
A dark figure sat at the front of the classroom, behind the desk just in front of the white board.
"Get behind me." Rachael waved for her to follow, close behind. She took small silent steps towards the figure.
"Um Chris is that you?" Jessica asked from behind the blonde.
Once they were close enough Rachael put her hand on his shoulder and brought the torch closer to his face. She then heard footsteps closing in on them.
"Oh god," she screamed dropping the torch and stumbling backwards.
"Rachael it's ok, I think it's just a dummy put here to look like Chris." Jessica reassured the blonde poking at the fake Chris.
"Its not the dummy I'm scared of." Rachael pointed to a thin figure in the doorway.
oOo
"Ok Claire, you can do this." The redhead told herself over and over again.
She had waited until both Alex was out of the room before commencing her own search for Chris. Gina had offered to help out so they both took their phones and split up. They had both agreed to phone one an other if they saw anything. The only problem was she didn't count on her phone running out of battery and now she was stuck in the dark with no light.
"Well if all else fails lock the store room. Good one Alex." She mumbled to herself pulling on the door handle.
"Claire Redfield. There could be a murderer on the loose and you're wondering around on your own."
Claire jumped at the voice. "What's it to you. He's my brother and I will do whatever it takes to find him."
"You have got some nerves of steel on you. I must give you that." Albert took small steps towards the redhead making her back up to the wall "I never really cared for your brother and I certainly don't care what happens to you. If it was up to me I would get rid of you in an instant."
"Is that a threat? What did you do to my brother?"
"Questions, "Questions, "Questions, too bad you won't be getting an answer." Albert stopped just in front of the redhead and grabbed her by the throat.
She stamped on his foot to try and get away but failed. He did let her go but then gave her a back hand for her trouble. He hit her that hard she fell to the floor.
"Don't you dare do that again."
"Albert, can I ask why your assaulting my workers?" The blonde asked. Shining a torch their way.
"I was just putting her in her place. That's all." Albert replied. Straightening his glasses.
Alex watched as Albert walked back down the corridor before turning back to the younger woman.
"Well miss Redfield, is there anyone you're not going to fall out with?" Alex asked sarcastically giving the redhead a hand. "You're bleeding. We should be able to find something to clean you with."
"I can handle myself." Claire spat back. Checking her lip with the back of her hand.
"You should take my had while it's offered because you might not get another chance."
Claire nodded and took her hand.
