Fright Night: A Tale of Horror (2 chs. sneak Peek)

Chapter 1

   This scary story takes place in Texas where Tom and Alice, parents of three teenage daughters named Jennifer, Carla, and Samantha decided to take a short vacation from New York where they all lived. The five of them were so happy and excited about this trip. Alice been thinking how are we going to get to Texas. Shortly, Tom, the father resolved to fly from New York to Texas instead of driving. They all agreed.
 
   Alice said, "I think it is a good idea, this way we will be able to see our good friends sooner than we thought." Yes, but not knowing what to expect from this trip. Finally the day came up and they all flew from New York to Texas. Their friends were waiting for them at the airport. All of them were so happy to see each other again, so their friends Juliette and Casimiro invited them for a nice dinner at their place.

   When they arrived there, while Juliette went to the kitchen to cook dinner for them. Alice made a remark to her husband, "Tom, Juliette and Casimiro want us to stay with them while we are in Texas instead of going to a hotel, but don't you see something creepy about this house?" Tom responded, "Yes, but what do you mean by that, well honey every detail in this house, including the decorations, the way they both act and behave is very strange, I remember our friends were not like that before."

   Jennifer is a 17 year old girl, her sister Carla who was 16 years old and the youngest Samantha who was just 15 years old were all listening to their mother's comments and were frightened, but did not say anything to their parents, instead they just kept their thoughts as a secret among themselves. Finally Juliette and Casimiro came back from the kitchen with the dinner they cooked and began to talk to them in a very strange and spooky way. And here is where our mystery Halloween story begins.  

   When Juliette and Casmirio came back both dressed wild and scary, Casimiro as a Vampire and his wife Juliette as a werewolf, Alice and Tom thought they dressed like that because Halloween hoilday was getting closer, but no, when Tom asked them, "Why do you both dress like that?" Casimiro and his wife looked at each other in a very mysterious and said "We changed a lot since we joined a group of people that love and believe in scary and terrifying things, this is why we decorated our home like this," she continue talking.... "After you stay with us for a few days you will be, perhaps very frightened, well, you will see for yourself."

   It was very late when dinner time was over, so all of them including Juliette and Casimiro went to their assigned bedrooms. The young girls were afraid of what comes next after they heard their parents' friends opinion about people who love and believe in scaring things. the girls asked their parents if they can stay with them in the same room, but they said, "NO, because there are only two beds in this room."
 
   Alice said to them, "You don't need to be afraid, your room is next to ours. If you need us, come and knock at our door immediately." Jennifer, Carla and Samantha accepted, but they were not happy with the idea. Finally the three of them went to their rooms. The young girls' bedroom have three beds, that was OK, but Samantha said to her sisters in a trembling tone of voice "Look, please look!.!.!.!.!.!. at our bed spreads!"

   When they did, they were in shock. "WHAT IS THIS!!" the three young girls yelled as their three bed spreads were decorated with plastic skeletons, the walls were all in black with gigantic white spider webs all over the room and blood stains here and there. "WHAT CAN WE DO!!" Scared Samantha exclaimed crying in a loud voice. Jennifer understanding her sister said, "We have to leave this house first thing in the morning, but first, we have to tell our parents tonight, NOW, don't waist one more minute."  

   So the three sisters went to their parents' bedroom, screaming, why because when they were going out of their room, the door fell down on the floor in front of them, and not only that the mirror on the door broke into pieces, and a very mysterious voice saying and laughing in a evil way, "if you continue living in this house many bad, creepy things will happen to all of you." the voice disappeared and Jennifer, Carla and Samantha went to their Mom and Dad's room. told them all that happened and they both did agree with the girls, because Alice and Casimiro also went through very, but very petrifying moments inside their room, blood all over the place, ghosts all around them, and so many other creepy things that they don't want to talk about.

   All of them, Mom, Dad, and the girls were frightened to death, but Tom was talking to his wife and kids, "Listen very carefully what I am planning to do." Tom said to them then walked over to his wife and talk to her about his plan.  

   "Even though our daughters are terrorized by all the things happening around here, wait, do not leave this place yet." He added. "First let me get in touch with Leroy, a long time friend of mine, he is an excellent detective and he can come and stay with us for a while since the spooky people Juliette and Casimiro, who are not our friends anymore, of course, told me that I could bring a friend to their house if I decided to do so. Let me call Leroy from my cell phone and ask him to let me know when he can come and stay with us for a while. As soon as he arrives, I will tell him not to say a word to these bad people that he is a detective, just a friend, that's all." He finished explaining then look at his wife.

    "Alice, I want you to talk to our daughters what I am planning to do, and tell them not to be afraid of anything. I know my plan will work out." He told his wife who nodded in agreement. Alice agreed, "do not worry Tom, I will let our daughters know about your plans and I am sure they will cooperate, I don't foresee any problems with that."

    Finally Alice talked to Jennifer, Carla, and Samantha about their father's plans and they approved. "I think it’s a good idea mom," Jennifer commented, "The three of us accept anything that might help our family get out of this mess.  

    A few days after Alice talked to her daughters regarding Tom's plans she told her husband their daughters' opinion, then, he said, "since they agree with my idea let me proceed and take action immediately by calling my friend Leroy; as I mentioned before, he is an excellent private detective, and I know, he is going to be a great help in this case, especially he will try to find out the mystery involving this family. I trust him, he is the best.

    The following day Tom made a phone call to Leroy, explaining half of the story, however, Leroy's answer was, "Tom, let me go in person and stay there for a few weeks as your friend, not as a private detective, by doing this I will be able to learn more about this creepy people, their background and much more."  "Leroy, I have a feeling your plan is going to work perfect, you are a very intelligent person and an outstanding investigator, I have no doubts at all." Tom said over the phone.

    Two days later after Tom talked to Leroy over the phone. Leroy came in, then Tom called Juliette and Casimiro over and introduced him to them saying "Leroy is a very good friend of mine, he loves us very much, and since both of you allowed me to bring any of my friends over at your house, I invited him to spend a few days with us." Casimiro and Juliette nodded, "This is okay with us." Casmirio said, "You are more than welcome to stay here as long as you want. I will bring you to your room now so please follow me. I hope you enjoy your stay." He added as he leads Leroy to his room. "Thank you sir." Leroy said then looked at Tom and whispered in his ear, "how can I enjoy this spooky place." Tom began to laugh hard. "See you later my friend" Tom said to him.

    Casimiro lead Leroy to his room and promptly disappeared. Leroy could not believe his eyes, his whole  room was covered with spider webs, bloody walls and doors, skeletons all over the place and other terrifying things surrounding the area. Leroy was frantic, asking himself, 'what kind of people are Casimiro and Juliette, not normal of course, they are evil individuals, not typical human beings and not believing in God; I don't like that, however, for my dear friends Tom, Alice and their daughters, I will continue my investigation without stopping until I find out what is going on inside this malevolent, evil-minded people. It won't be easy, I know that for sure, but nothing will stop me until I uncover the truth concerning these terrible persons, otherwise, I would feel frustrated and disappointed.

    Leroy, Tom, Alice, and the three daughters were having breakfast together around the pool when all of the sudden Samantha yelling in panic and pointed out scary creatures coming out from the pool, one of them, a medium size snake, all were frightened, because when Leroy got up and looked inside the pool, all of the scary and creepy creatures disappeared and the water was completely clean and clear like nothing or no one was inside. "I can't believe my eyes!! Can you?" Leroy asked Tom and his family.  

    "Of course not Leroy!" Tom yelled at him. "As soon as we finished eating, I am going to start investigating room by room. First yours Tom, then your daughters, plus the entire house." Leroy said. "In the meantime, while I continue my investigation, please do not get too close to Juliette or Casmirio, maintain your distance please, these people seems to be very dangerous. They can harm any of you, so be careful, especially your girls." Leroy told Tom and Alice. "My promise to you Tom and Alice is to keep you both informed of any important details and updates.

Chapter 2

    Leroy began the investigation, first, Tom and Alice's room. When he entered their room, he started talking to himself. 'I am not surprised at all, knowing Juliette and Casimiro anything scary, something bad can be found. How can anyone may expect something different from them,' Leroy shortly screamed, "IMPOSSIBLE!" Leroy said before starting to talk to himself again, 'Blood all over the room, and so many other petrifying things, besides all of these destructive conditions, the smell in the room is horrible.'

   Leroy kept looking and walking around, 'while checking Tom and Alice's room, I was curious, suspicious, to be more especific, it did happen when I saw one of the drawers of these demonic people dest half opened, then my curiosity could now way any longer, so I went over directly to that drawer and opened it all the way, what did I find inside, a letter, yes, but by whom. Let's find out right away who wrote this mysterious letter.' He talked to himself still. "Good thing its not a long one, but let me start reading it." Leroy said out loud. This is what this letter says:

   My name is Maritza, I am thirty years old and willing to discover all the bad things these people are capable of. I have been in this place for many years, to be eact, eight years serving these crazy people, Casimiro and Juliette, but I didn't want to leave this place until being able to find out more about this malevolent personages. Little by little, while I was working for Juliette and Casimiro I watched these two very close, and found out many horrendous situations, whoever is going to read this letter is going to panic. 

  One day while I was cleaning one of the rooms, theirs to be exact, besides all the other frightful and shocking facts already found by me. I detected a bad smell coming out from their walking closet, even being so scared I made up my mind, became very brave, and finally opened the closet door and guess what I found, any person reading this is going to be petrified. Inside the closet I found a dead body    . I was screaming left in panic, running down the stairs, frightened, out of control, and going to my room immediately. after all of this happened, I said to myself, 'I only have one choice to make, leave this house and these terrible, insane people, the sooner the better, and I did, without telling Casimiro and Juliette.
