Sick Little Games (Jack Barakat)

Chapter 10

"Ummmm...hi?" Marcy questioned as an unfamiliar person stood in front of her.

"Oh. My. Gosh.....MARCYYY!!!" The girl yelled. The girl tackled her in a hug..tight, and didn't seem to wanna let go anytime soon. Who was this girl and why was she hugging her and acting like they were friends forever. Next thing she knew the girl was talking. Not like normal but on. And on. And ON!

"Ihaventseenyouinsolonghowhaveyoubeenomgihavesooomuchtotellyouicantevenbeginmaybeweshouldgooutwannagoout.."

(Translation: I haven't seen you in so long how have you been OMG I have sooo much to tell you I can't even begin maybe we should go out wanna go out..) "listen....person? I don't even know you. Who are you?" She met this person not to long ago and the girl knew her name and apparently knew her for a long time if she has so much to tell her. "Y-you don't remember me?" She asked shocked.

"I'm...WAS your co worker Tabby. I work in the same firm you worked in. You just disappeared off the face of the earth 8 months ago? Everyone thought you died. Marcy we have memorials all over town. They found your car and everything. And never a body. But here you are clear as day. Dude I missed you!" She had blonde hair and a skinny figure a blouse and black slacks with heels while her hair was parted to the side. She looked at the girl again. She could feel the memory on the tip of her tongue. The back of her mind. She just couldn't place it. She knew this girl and knew her well.

"I...don't remember. Lets go out. Get to know each other again. You seem like a lovely person to.." "BABE?!" She heard. "Ooooooooooooo does Marcy have a boyfriend?" Tabby nudged her and smirked. She blushed furiously and looked down at her feet. "I uh uhhh uhh yeah I do." She looked back up at Tabby.

"What am I doing I'm so rude come on in have a seat make yourself comfy i'll get coffee i'll be right back." She pulled tabby in and shut the door. She ran into the kitchen and saw jack in his boxers eating an apple. "GO PUT CLOTHES ON WE HAVE GUESTS!!" She pushed him out of the kitchen and got out some coffee and quickly brewed it to perfection. She took the cups into the living room and sat down next to Tabby. "Well that was record time Marceline i'll be sure to tell people you broke your record like you always wanted to do at the office." She smiled and sipped the coffee.

*a couple hours later*

"It was so nice to see you again Tab. Please stay in contact." She closed the door and sighed in relief. She stood there for a few moments before someone knocked on the door again and she groaned "WHHHAATTTT noooww!" She whined. She opened the door and revealed a sickly looking Alex. His hair disheveled. His shirt raggy. And his pants saggy. His eyes were bloodshot like he hasn't slept for days. Or got high. And he smells of a mix of blood alcohol and sex.

Typical way Alex would smell. "Jesus Alex! What happened to you?!" She pinched her nose and let him in. "I got into a fight." He argued. "And walked away with no injuries? Yeah haha you're funny. Tell me the real reason." She shot back. She was in no mood for him.

'I should probably start digging that grave.' She thought "who said it had to be a physical fight? I fought with another girl.." He answered. "What girl?" She asked. He sighed and tried running a hand through his hair but that mix of knots and hairspray made it impossible. "Her name is Andrea..and she's a vampire to..she says that there's supposed to be rival vampires coming soon..." He trailed off. And frankly wasn't making any sense so she touched his shoulder and felt the shock before she arrived at Alex's house.

She walked around trying to find him and just followed the yelling. "IM TELLING YOU ALEX!! THERE ARE RIVAL VAMPIRES OUT THERE. NATE TOLD ME. TTHEY'RE ON THEIR FUCKING WAY!!" The female yelled. "Why are you yelling at me? So what? Rival vampires. What's the worst they can do. Zap me." He laughed and she scoffed. "NO!!" She walked up to him and slapped him. "They already chose their fucking kill you dumbass!" She said dangerously low. "Haha and who would THAT be?" He said truly stubborn to the fact that there were possible assassins out to get him. "Not me. Not jack. Not Marcy. Then who?" He shot. "Believe or not it's one of you." She said. The mystery in her voice said she definitely knew and didn't wanna say anything. "Care to share?" Alex pushed. He obviously wanted to know. "I don't know if I should.." She trailed off. "Just tell me and get it over with please." Never. Never did she want to hear that name come out of her mouth. Never did she even expect it. She cringed. Her eyes filled with tears that she wiped away. Marcy couldn't hold it in any longer because as she stood there terrified there had to be some way to fix this. Because never in her whole did she expect Jack to come out of that vampire's mouth.
