There's Nothing Scarier

Burnwort had just sat down on her friends floor. There was no chairs left for her. She was late for the sleepover, because her bloop, falconblaze, had choked on a fly, and Burnwort had to make him cough it up.

"He he he," she laughed nervously. She had never done this before and didn't know what it was like. Were they mad at her? She wondered... It was supposed to be a wild sleepover and the parents weren't home. But it was silent, and they were starring at Burnwort.

"Burnwort, we were worried sick about you," they looked fearful "we're glad you got back in one piece!"

"Geez...I was just a little late, that's all!" she stuffed some chips in her mouth.

"That's not it! The radio said--" They stopped, the radio was going to announce it again. "Listen!" they snapped "We at the radio station have informed you before, but for the listeners that did not hear the announcement, need to hear it! URGENT!" Burnwort got a little nervous.

"There is a psycho Lupe on the loose! It is capable of anything! LOCK ALL DOORS!"

They all screamed and pulled their blankets over their heads. "We gotta go lock the doors."

The pet that was holding the party explained, "They aren't locked yet!"

"EGADS!!!! YOU DIDN'T LOCK THE DOORS?" Burnwort shook in fear. Suddenly the heard the door creek. They were dead silent.... Petrified. They all scrambled for the phone. Burnwort picked it up and dialed "0".

"OH MY GOSH IT'S NOT RINGING!" she screamed. Someone put their hand over her mouth. They whispered, "Sssshhhh...Burnwort be quite! We don't want them to find us in the house."

"Okay..." she whispered back

They were upstairs. They last place he would probably look. It was kind of a long way up, so they figured he would go there last. There was talk about escaping out of the window, but what if they had just heard the noise out of fear? Just their imagination... $100 for a window that was broken for nothing.

"Somebody has to go see if it's really there..." they all said together.

"BURNWORT! You're the bravest! You go!"

"All right...but you get my hospital bill," she sighed. Some friends, she thought.

Right then, the lights flickered, and finally went out. "EEK!" they screamed. Burnwort took the only flashlight in the room and turned it on. It wasn't very bright, but what can you do with a psycho in the house? She started down the stairs, hearing footsteps the whole way there. She was afraid to look back because she was afraid something was going to pounce on her. She stood still. She was afraid to blink or even breath. She took another step forward. She shined the flashlight on the open fridge. A whole frozen turkey had been eaten down to the bone.

Burnwort was scared out of her mind at the time. She heard footsteps and a cool fast breeze. She jerked her head. The curtains were moving, like something had just jumped through them. She stepped over to the window, verrry slowly. Peeked her head behind the curtain. The window was open. She closed it, turned around, and there was the Lupe! It had foam all over its mouth. It was snarling at her. It pounced on her and was about to take a bite...then she woke up.
