Fifteen almost sixteen year old Christie Carter never understood why her parents were so up-tight. All of her friend's parents were letting them go to the midnight premier of the best horror film to be realsed in a decade! So what if it's rated R? Isn't that a minor detail? Christie is so mad at her parents for making her stay home for this grand event, that she decides to sneak out anyway and go with her friends to see the movie. At first, everything is so fun and exciting. Christie can't believe that she got away with breaking the rules and is eager to do it again! But it's after the movie when things start to get... odd.

The horror film in question is absolutely terrifying. Vampires and werewolves ramapage across the big screen, killing off innocent humans and making the audience scream. But still, it's just a movie, Christie and her friends think. When the closing credits are rolling and the theater lights come back on, something out of the ordinary happens.It is about three in the morning by the time Christie and her friends start the walk home. Of course they are a little jumpy at the thought of walking home in the dark after seeing this movie, but it is more than that that is making them uneasy.

As the teens turn down a back alley to take a shortcut home, something jumps out at them! As they run through the dark, deserted streets, Christie pieces together the strange truth of what happened. The werewolves and vampires in the movie have left the bigscreen. In fact, they have left the world of the movie maker's imagination completely! The terrifying monsters are alive and very much real. They are hungry, and the new world they have been brought into is full of new places to take over.]

I think we are going to start just as Christie and her friends are leaving the theater and walking home for the night.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Christie squinted her eyes against the sudden grightness that flooded the theater. the ending credit were still rolling, but no one was actually going to sit through and watch them. As she stood up, her sneaker made a crunching noise as she stepped on someone's spilled popcorn. She retrieved her coke from it's cup holder to throw it away. Trying to look casual, she looked down at her watch. Holy cheese! It was almost three in the morning. Christie felt a twinge of guilt knot her stomach. What if her parents found out that she had snuck out? She would be in super trouble and probably grounded for life, that much she knew.

But it had been worth it, hadn't it? The risk of getting in trouble was worth it because she had had an awesome time out with her friends. The movie had been wonderfully terrifying, and she was probably going to have nightmares about it for the next three months. Christie couldn't wait to do this again. As she exited the aisle, she wait for her friends to catch up with her. She wasn't fond of the idea of walking home in the dark after seeing this movie, but at least she didn't have to walk home alone.

After the movie, Megan stood up and stretched.She looked to her left and saw her friends, Christie and Catalina.They had gotten up and started to exit the theater.Megan hurried and caught up to them.

"Hey, that movie sure was scary huh?"She said to her friends.Megan looked down for a second then back up at her friends.She walked out of the theater with them, and heard Cat ask Christie about something, but she wasn't paying attention.She was too deep into thought about the movie.

"So what was you guys opinion of the movie."Megan stared at her friends wide-eyed.She didn't why she asked them.She knew it had scared them just as much as it had scared her.

"It was scary," Christie agreed, nodding her her fervently. She had seen a good number of horror films in her life, but never one like that. It was worth sneaking outofr, definitely, but she felt as though she was pushing her luck by lingering in the theater even longer. "But not as scary as my parents will be if they find out I snuck out!" She hated to sound like to party pooper of the bunch, but she seriously didn't want to get caught. "Come one, let's get going."

As they stepped out into the night air, Christie shivered. She zipped up her sweater and began walking at a slow pace. Even though she knew she needed to get home, she didn't want the night's excitement to end yet. She looked up at the stars in the sky and then back at the deserted road they were walking down. She tried not to think about the movie anymore, she would freak herself out if she did.

Suddenly, she yelped and jumped in the air. She pointed at something off in the distance. "Holy crap! What was that?" Christie's eye were wide. "I think I saw something over there!"

CRASH!
MREAOW!
Luciphor froze in mid stride. A cat ran past him, and he followed it with his eyes until it was out of sight. A few seconds later, he stood up straight, and scanned the space from which the crash had sounded. He looked behind him, out onto the wet street. A stream of water was running along the curb into a storm drain.
Hope this weather keeps up, Luciphor thought. He loved rainy nights. The sound; even the smell was peaceful. Luciphor kept to the graffiti covered brick wall as he walked down the alley between the city houses. He saw that the fire escape to one house had fallen into disrepair. This is probably what fell. You'd think they'd take better care of a safety feature like this.
Walking around to the front of the house, Luciphor noticed that the windows were boarded up. Nobody lived here.
Bored, and nervous, still unsure what had caused the loud noise, Luciphor began walking south, toward the most popular movie theater. This late at night there would probably be teenagers coming home from the late-night shows.

"I was just kidding," Christie said hastily, feeling as though she shouldn't have made the joke in the first place. "I didn't really see anything. Sorry." She hoped she hadn't seriously freaked her friends out. She had just been trying to lighten the mood. Shuffling forward, she looked to where Cat was pointing. She raised her eyebrows.

"Are you sure?" Not wanting to look like a baby, she entered the alley, but really she was a little scared. This alley looked a lot like one in the movie... Ugh. Trying to push the thoughts from her head, she took more steps into the alley and said, "I guess we could go this way. You know, if we get home faster." Trying to convince herself there was nothing to be scared about, she continued walking. Something about it didn't seem right, though. Shiviering, she tried to look natural, like nothing was bothering her.

Megan watched her friends go into the alley.She didn't know why she was so scared, she had watched a ton of horror movies before but had never been this scared.Then Megan said."Guys, i don't want to go through the alley, I don't have to be at home at any specific time anyways, i'll see you guys tomorrow."

She turned and started walking down the street.Out of the corner of her eye, she could've sworn she saw something jump from the building into the alley.'Nah'she thought'Must just be my imagination.'

She continued walking home, and wondered if her friends were alright.She began to run.

Eyes on the sidewalk, Luciphor tried to look casual, until he heard something.
pit, pat, pit, pat
The sound was of of shoes on wet cement, coming from somewhere in front of him. He looked up, and saw a short figure walking in the opposite direction down the otherwise deserted street, about four blocks away. Luciphor moved closer to the wall, his own footfalls making no noise on the sidewalk.
The walking figure sped up, glancing at the sidewalk behind it. Luciphor stopped as it broke into a run, and sidestepped into an alley driveway. His back against the brick, he watched as the running person came closer. Seeing its hair fly out behind it, he assumed a girl, but tried not to be to decisive in this, because his own hair was longer than that of most girls he knew. As the girl drew nearer, he noticed the skirt.
Ah, a girl then. Or a drag queen.

Megan stopped running and walked into an alleyway backwards into an alleyway.She turned around and noticed a man looking at her."Um, hi.I'll just be going now."She walked backwards at a slow pace, out of the alley.

She began to walk home again.She thought the man might be following her.She was very superstitious, so she thought he might be a vampire or something, or a predator.She turned around and said"GO AWAY!"

She started running again and this time she didn't stop.She was scared to death.She had to get home and fast before that man could catch her.

Shelka padded quietly through the night, ears pricked and nostrils flared. Despite the fact that she would still be human for at least another night, there was something feral about her movements. She wasn't wearing any shoes, and walked near silently without her heels ever touching the floor. Her head tilted to catch sounds and scents. There was a stench of vampire on the air, and an undercurrent of human fear. She had heard noises ahead, voices, something falling over, footsteps. It was nothing unexpected, but she was wary all the same. Her head snapped round as she walked past an alleyway. Two human girls were at the far end. They were playing casual, but Shelka could already smell their fear. Had they already met her kin? No, they were too calm for that. Perhaps it was just normal late-night fear. Shelka wasn't sure if she had been spotted, but she didn't really care. She was bored, a couple of humans might prove entertaining. Besides, she might get hungry later, and a meal or two on hand was a thing to be glad of.

"No!" Christie said to Cat as she watched Megan start to run away. She shook Cat off her and took several steps back, out of the alley. "I don't think it's safe in there." Was it just her being silly, or did she think she heard some disturbance? She didn't care if she seemed like a silly little girl, she wasn't going any further into that alley.

Her voice a few octaves too high, she called out to Cat, "I think we should just go the normal way." She took more steps out, back into the main road, and waited to see if Cat would follow. Maybe they could catch up to Megan. She turned her head.

"Megan?" She called. Again, she looked back at Cat. She didn't know what to do.

Christie had been standing somewhere between the alley and the main road. She had turned her head back just in time to see Cat get dragged off by some dark figure. Who was that? Her mouth hung open, but no sound came out. she wanted to scream, but she couldn't. Christie was too busy watching what was going on. Instinctively, she took a few steps forward to help her friend, but then the guy who was standing over her climbed away onto the roof.

"HEY!" She shouted, finally having her voice back. She didn't know if she could be heard, though. "Hey!" she repeated. Who was that? It couldn't be... a vampire? Christie discarded that that as soon as it came to mind. Vampires only existed in movies. It was probably just some kidnapper or serial killer or something. But surely not a vampire.

She stood, rooted on the spot, waiting to see if he had heard her.
