Turn Over

All was lost

Eve, I know you're excited" Evelyn's mum says climbing up the stairs.

" But why don't you come downstairs for breakfast, I made........." she turns the door knob, the door creaks as the room comes into view. she steps into the room

"honey, where are you" she walks to the bathroom and peeps in. she's not there

"gah" she sighs.

"where in th... aah!" she scream's when she turns to see a girl with pitch black hair and dark brown eyes on a graduation gown, staring at her with a smile on her face.

"oh my word, Evelyn Wallis. how dare you scare your mother like that" she says with her hand to her chest.

Evelyn burst's out laughing. "mum i..i didn't m..ean to b..u..t you sh..oul..d have s..e..en your face" she laughs.

" this is the thanks I get for raising children" she says and shakes her head.

"Honey is everything ok up there" Evelyn's dad asks from down the stairs

" just your daughter, being her usual self"Evelyn's mum yells back

Evelyn walks to her mother and locks her arm with hers.

" But come on mum that was funny" she says as they walk out of her room.Evelyn's mother stays silence.

" I'm sorry mum ,mummy" she says sweetly, rubbing her hair against her neck like a baby cub seeking attention.

"ok, ok. your hairs starting to get into my mouth" Evelyn's mum says and laughs.

Evelyn turn's her gaze from the redhead to the Ford's, pick up truck's and Toyota's that filled the entrance of Austin high.

Students in graduation gowns stood around taking photo with family, fake boyfriend's, forever boyfriend, roomies, fake besties/ friends. A smile curved up her lips as she looked at them, she sure as heck isn't going to miss just ostentatious people.

"valedictorian" the redhead says waving her hand in her face.

"huh" Evelyn voices

" eyes forward, mum what's to take a picture of you" she says and steps back

"Hazel why don't you stand in for the picture with her" Evelyn's mum asks

" i will for the next one"she says and smiles

"ok" she turns to Evelyn

"dear, more teeth" Evelyn's mum says with one of her eye in the digital camera lens. Evelyn puts on a soft smile with her lips together. The little boy besides Evelyn's mother raises his fingers to the edge of his lips and pulls them up brightly showing his teeths. Evelyn does the same

"Now that's not so bad" Evelyn's mother says and takes the picture.

"hey, Mrs Wallis don't forget about us" a couple of girls yell, running towards Evelyn.

"I can't believe am out of breath every time i run"the other girl says panting with her hand on her knees.

"sorry Carole and Grace I couldn't seem to find you guys"Evelyn says.

"i just hope you don't forget us when you get into Preston_" Carole says and pauses.

"valedictorian!"Carole and Grace chorus together with a hint of pride in their tone.

"ok girls enough chit chat. smile for the camera" Evelyn's mother says. The girls position them selfs, placing their hands behind the others back, with their faces pressed together, they move it forward and smile.

"we haven't even gotten to the party Carole, and your already wasted" grace says as they walk side by side down the grass.

"co.m it no.. th..at bad"Carole says smiling as she misses one out of each step she takes.

"plus y.. gils.. a..re a ... drunk!"Carole yells pointing her wobbly finger at them. they burst out laughing.

"Carole yo..ur hilarious" Evelyn and Grace chorus laughing as Evelyn brings down Carol's finger.

" what you just did remind me of th...." grace voice seems to trail as Evelyn notices a particular redhead walking into the forest.

"Hazel?" Evelyn whispers.

" wh.. did yo.. s .. ay" Carol asks

"oh nothing really, I want to check something out"Evelyn says

"what's that?, can't we just leave it for now. we are almost their" grace says looking to the glowing house a few blocks from them.

"don't worry, take care of Carole I'll meet you girls at the part..."her voice trails as she runs down the part they came. she turns to see them walking toward the party and veers into the forest.

Evelyn stands in the forest panting heavily. running on a stomach filled with alcohol wasn't that good of an idea. Evelyn looks around the forest but she can't seem to find the red head

" I was sure I was following her"she whispers to herself.

"why are you following me?" a voice whispers in her ear. she quickly turns in fear to face the voice but trip's on the dirt and falls butt flat on the ground

"hazel. you scared me"Evelyn says in relief, she stretch's her palm out. hazel grabs it, pulling her up to her feets.

"why did you follow me out here in the night" Hazel ask's as she watches Evelyn dusting the tiny leaves and dirt off her jean.

"just curious, why your still in town and not on your way to visit aunt Mary in France." Evelyn says staring at her suspiciously while she dusts off her palms

"and why are you drunk, you know how impulsive you get when that happens" hazel scolds with her hands on her hip

"no worries am fi... wait your try to change the topic" Evelyn says as she stares at her even more suspiciously with her head arched forward and her hands on her hips.

Evelyn gets jumpy at the sound of an howl that echoes through the forest.

" argh, that scared me" Evelyn says with her hand on her chest. " but I didn't think we had wolf's in this forest"

"you know you easily get scared when your drunk. why not just head home"hazel says hastily and grabs her arm.

" that will be later, I have a party to attend" Evelyn says as she removes hazel's hand from her arm.

" then why don't you go to the party, Carol and Grace are probably waiting for you" hazel says and grabs her arm once again. pulling her as she walks forward.

"what are you hiding" Evelyn asks, hazel stops walking.

"nothing of importance, come on" she says and continue pulling Evelyn along as she walks

" why are you trying to get rid of me so quickly.Do you have a secret boyfriend you haven't told me about." Evelyn asks, raising her brow up and down when hazel turns to look at her. hazel turns her face forward without a single word, as she continues to pull Evelyn along

"stop!" Evelyn yells as she stops walking.

"are you doing something dangerous, why are you trying to get rid of me so badly" Evelyn questions as she stares at hazel who looks worried.

"just, come on" hazel says pulling on her arm

"let me go!" Evelyn says as she forcefully pulls her arm away, she stumbles but balances her self on her feets

"Hazel, there you are." a male voice says from behind Evelyn. she squeaks and quickly turns to see a group of guys a few feets from her.

"who's your little friend?" the voice says again. the group parts to reveal a beautifully aged man in his late fourties.

"no one of importance" hazel respond as she goes down on one knee. Evelyn just stands there looking back from the man to hazel, she moves a little bit close to hazel and whispers

"who's that man and what's with the gesture"she asks.

"you should leave, NOW!" hazel respond.

"don't be in such a rush your little friend can stay" the man says as he walks towards them. Evelyn looks to hazel who showed an expression of disgust, but it fades as quickly as it came.

"I think I will just go" Evelyn says feeling a bit intimidated, she turns to leave but is grab by the arm. A cold shiver spreads through her whole body instantly.

" not so fast now" the man says as he turns her to face him.

"how about you come with me, you have a very pretty face" he says as he reaches his fingers out to her face, she slaps them away and quickly step back.

Evelyn feels creeped out by him, and she didn't want to wait to find out how long. It's best she grabs hazel and runs, she quickly turns to move towards hazel, who was just a few feets in front of her, but is blocked by a tall brown man, who forcefully grabs her by the arm.

"LET ME GO!" she yells as she tries to pull her arm out from his grip, using her other hand to repeatedly hit him. she didn't notice anyone that close to her a second ago.

"M..."hazel trails as she is silenced by a look of rage from the man in his fourties, she clutches her palms into fist's looking down. the man once again walks toward Evelyn.

"leave me alone you creep!" Evelyn yells as she stretch's out her right leg to kick him

"Evelyn no!" hazel yell, as the man takes hold of her leg.

He raises his head to meet the gaze of Evelyn who stares frightfully at the two big sharply pointed teeth's that seem to reside where his teeths where. The man smiles at her as he sinks his teeths into her leg.

"Aaaaah!" Evelyn screams as she jolts up with her hands on the fabric.

Her eyes wonder about the space fearfully and quickly, but she begins to calm down upon recognizing the space. It's morning?, she's.. in her room, and on her bed?...., she quickly removes the covers on her body

" my l..leg is... fine?" she says touching her right leg.

she glances at the door. she would have seen her parents rushing into the room, wondering why she screamed so loudly. But she most have slept into the late morning, and so she's home alone. Evelyn stares at her leg intensely, it might have been a dream but it all felt too real.
