"Your sister recently died... shouldn't you still be in your mourning phase instead of.. hosting an all girls sleep over?"

A brunette covered in a multi colored embroidered duvet gave Daisy a curious look.

The other seven girls seated across the ground sofas in the living room all nodded in agreement. Sighing deeply, Daisy who was about to switch on the plasma TV replied.

"I just thought it was better this way. Nora is dead and no matter how much I try mourning her, she's never going to come back. I've been secluding myself lately and a doctor advised that I socialize more for my mental health"

"Is that so.." one of the girls pursed her lips, while another one clapped gleefully.

"Thank goodness. Seeing your like that, many of our classmates and teachers thought you were considering suicide. Fortunately those strange Feminist Activist Counselors came on time and talked you out of it " the name of the speaker was Bonita.. she was part of the cheerleading club.

Infact all the girls including Daisy were all members of the cheerleading clubs. One wouldn't even have to guess it, considering they were all top notch beauties.

Especially the brunette.. Sally; she had a subtle bossy demeanour as well... a clichè trait of all Cheerleading club Presidents.

"You told us you wanted to host a sleepover.. I don't see any party kits nearby" Sally huffed.

"I thought about it a bit and I thought we should watch a movie.. a horror movie "

"I think I'll pass " Sally made to stand up.

"Whoa. Don't tell me the almighty President is scared of a little horror movie?"

Sally's expression went frosty in the face of this provocation. Tilting her head, she noticed the others were staring intently at her. Some of them were even trying their best to conceal their amused smiles.

"Hmpfh. Don't be ridiculous. Watching a horror film is for savages and ugly hags. Its not ladylike yunno?" although Sally tried to act calm, her words came out shaky.

Right from childhood, she had a peeve for three things..

Ants.. Pimples and horror movies!

"Then let's play a game then?" Daisy shrugged.

"What game?" the speaker this time was a girl named Lovett..

"Truth or dare"

.

.

"Truth or dare?" after playing about three rounds of the game, the bottle finally pointed towards Sally.

Seeing the crafty smile on Daisy's lips as she asked this question, Sally didn't even have to think twice before replying.

"Truth"

"Are you screwing the Maths teacher to get full grades?"

"What?!" Sally almost choked on her spittle.

"You heard me" Daisy smiled calmly.

"We all know how much you suck at just rudimentary calculations yet during the algebra and calculus test you got full points.. and that wasn't the only time. So?"

"Sally don't tell me you're really screwing Mr. Peterson, that fat ugly toad?" one of the girls giggled.

Her name was Tess.

"Well, so what if he's ugly? she won't feel a thing if the lights go out "

"Eww.. just thinking of his fat stinky flesh rubbing against mine.. I wonder who can survive that "

Listening to the goading around her, Sally's expression went frosty. Of course she was guilty of Daisy's accusations but wouldn't confessing sully her public image?

As the President of the School's Cheerleading club, she was regarded as a fairy. Many of the popular boys would give anything just to date her for a day and utilizing this, she had many of them wrapped around her fingers.

No doubt if she confessed right now, her 'Friends' wouldn't mind spreading the news the next day at school. She couldn't have that!

"I choose dare!!" she clenched her eyes as her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Then, I dare you to watch a horror movie from the beginning to the end" Daisy grinned victoriously.

"Fine. You win. Crafty B"tch"

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Smirking, Daisy stood up as she inserted a DVD case into the DVD console before switching on the television.

"Dracula Tales Of Fangs?" Bonita cried in shock when she saw the title card of the movie.

"You know about it?" Daisy gave her a look.

"Yep. I saw it on a forum. Apparently it's a really scary movie.. and I mean really.." saying this, she intentionally gave Sally a look.

"Hmpfh. So what if it's scary? its just a movie" Sally snorted as she pretended not to notice the amused smiles around her.

.

"Are you done?" Stephen gave his sister a questioning look as he sat on the bonnet of the car while Aletta approached him.

"The whole house has been warded against all spiritual beings. The Dark Wraith won't be able to get in" Aletta nodded.

"Good. We just have to wait for the Dark Wraith to show up. Then we kill it " said Jason who was standing a few feet away from the car, with his arms folded across his chest.

"What about Daisy? without her we won't be able to kill this Dark Wraith" Stephen couldn't help but grow nervous.

Monsters and mystical beings were all graded according to the level of danger they posed.

C-rank

B-rank

A-rank

S-rank

SS-rank

SS-rank

The C-rank was the lowest level of threat and the SSS-rank was the highest level.

Aletta was a 10 stripes C-rank Mystique Hunter while Stephen was a 8 stripes C-rank Hunter. Working together, they could just barely manage to kill a level 10 monster. Level 2 all the way to level 10 monsters were all classified as C-rank threats. A level 10 monster held so much power that they could turn a small town into a land of desolation!

Above them were level 11 all the way to level 20 monsters and they were all regarded as B-rank threats. Before even the weakest B-rank Monster, the strongest C-rank monster would be forced to take a swift detour if they ever encountered each other.

And the weakest Dark Wraith were classified as Level 11 monsters minimum. That made them B-rank threats!

For a 10 stripes and 8 stripes C-rank Hunters to dare attempt at Hunting down a B-rank Monster.. This was akin to courting death!

"Don't worry. She would make an appearance once the Dark Wraith shows up" Aletta sneaked Jason a look before she lied.

"Uhm.. I think it is here already " Jason suddenly called out to the siblings already wearing the Sprite Pupils as he stared at the new row of words that had just appeared on the system panel screen..

Something only he could see..
