I actually used a wee bit from the prolouge of the novel I've been trying to write, but formed it into a completely new story. I'm also entering this for the October Short Story contest, so yeah :v Also this is my first short story so keep that in mind.

Enjoy:

“Hey, Cameron! Over here!” yelled a strangely-dressed teenager from the side of a curb. Cameron, a short but brawny boy around 15, recognized him as his friend Jesus. “Oh, hey!” Cameron yelled back, running to his friend. “What’s up?”
“Dude, it’s Halloween, that’s what’s up. I’ve got the best strategy for our candy route.” Jesus replied.
“Aren’t we a little old for Trick-or-Treating?” Cameron asked.
“Who says so?” Jesus quickly replied, smirking. The two boys laughed for a minute, then walked to Cameron’s house. When they got there, Mrs. MacPherson, Cameron’s mom, greeted the two of them. The boys spent a long time outside, doing things anyone would expect two teenage boys would do. They even finalized their route for later that night. A few hours passed, and Cameron’s parents left for a date. They had told the boys they were seeing a horror movie of sorts, so they would be gone for awhile, leaving the boys to go Trick-Or-Treating.
“Alright, what do you want to do before we head out?” asked Jesus.
“Dunno, you?” replied Cameron.
“Video Games? I got the new Kingdom H-“
“Hang on, I know what we can do. It’s Halloween, so we should do something scary.” Cameron cut in.
“Like what?” Jesus said with a curious tone.
“Ever heard of Bloody Mary?” Cameron said in a low voice, smiling evilly.
“No, who’s that?” Jesus questioned
“Well, the legend of Bloody Mary goes that she was just a regular girl, but someone or something had driven her mad, so she killed herself in a dark bathroom. Now if you can find a Bathroom with no windows, you repeat her name three times inside the Bathroom, with the door closed. She’s said to appear, and try to kill whoever beckons her. And guess what? I have a bathroom with no windows.” Cameron said, again smiling evilly.
“Oh… erm… Cam, you know I don’t like scary things.” Jesus said, with the a worried look.
“Calm down. It probably doesn’t work anyway. Come on, it’s already dark out.” said Cameron, pulling back the curtain of the nearest window. “Let’s do it now.”
Without a word of contradiction, Jesus and Cameron made their way to the upstairs bathroom. They opened the door, revealing the pitch black lavatory.
“Alright, let’s do this.” said Jesus, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
They boys walked into the abnormally large bathroom, closing the door behind them.
“You say those magic words, Cam.” said Jesus, this time obviously nervous.
Cameron let out a deep sigh, and then opened his mouth to say the “magic words”.

“Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary.”

The room went ice cold, and instantly Cameron felt as if some sort of fluid was all over the floor. At first, he thought the toilet might have overflowed or something, but he didn’t know how it could’ve. All of a sudden, the light flashed for a split second, revealing Jesus lying on the floor. Dead. Cameron had indeed felt something on the floor. Jesus’ blood had drenched it.

The light flickered once more, this time revealing a young woman.

Cameron screamed as loud as he could, or rather tried, as he could hardly breath. He burst out of the bathroom, flying down the stairs.

Sweat ran down the Cameron’s face like waterfalls as he ran through his house, knocking over everything he could. The woman behind him kept a steady pace, practically walking through the objects that covered the floor. The woman had a large wound in her head, causing her entire left side of her face to be drench in dark blood. Her hands dripped of the red liquid, staining the floors of the house. Her hair was jet black, and her eyes were a piercing white. Her skin was extremely pale, practically giving off a faint glow. She reached forward, almost snagging Cameron by the neck, and called, “Don’t run, you were the one that beckoned me…” in a small fragile voice.

Cameron turned to face his pursuer, and nearly fainted at the sight he beheld. The woman lunged forward at him, grabbing his ankle, causing him to fall onto his face, breaking his nose. As blood gushed all over the floor of the kitchen, the woman looked up and placed her hand on the kitchen counter, looking for something. Cameron writhed in pain, spitting out blood as he gasped for air. The woman found what she was looking for, and held a knife up to the back of Cameron’s neck. He managed blurted out, “Who…Who are you…”

The woman looked down at her victim, without a single drip of pity. She tossed her hair to one side, and lunged once more, driving the large knife into Cameron’s neck. Cameron went limp, and the floor was covered in dark blood.

The woman leaned forward, up to Cameron’s cold, dead ear and whispered;

“Mary”
