Voodoo Skeleton - Chapters 1 and 2

Voodoo Skeleton

Chapter 1

Katie Fulton and Verena Dortfire were two completely different girls in every sense of the word, Katie was a cheerleader and liked to wear whites and bright colours with cute little skirts and tank tops whereas Verena normally wore black tops and pants or a black skirt with ripped stockings and long black knee high lace up boots. Verena preferred the arts and film to Katie and home economics. Due to their differing tastes in almost every walk of life they had almost no classes together but you could go on all day about their differences with the only thing in common being that they were both doing their final year(year 12) of high school at the same place Marrina high school. It wasn't always like this though, they used to be the best of friends in primary school and the early part of high school but when puberty struck Katie felt like Verena got too touchy feely at times and she was also getting too "weird" for her tastes as she decided she preferred to talk to girls about lip gloss and shiny shoes as opposed to horror movies and the occult which Verena was now heavily into. The loss of their union still burned deep for Verena and over the 3 years since their friendship ended she had started to lose herself in the world of witchcraft and everything supernatural in nature, she went to groups which discussed these things and created spells as well as spending all night at times on the Internet talking to people with similar interests to her. Everyday Verena was hungry for more knowledge of all things occult related and it was starting to become an obsession.

　
Verena had stacks of friends online and from the "witch groups" she attended but at school she really only had one friend, a girl named Carrie bickstaff, she was an extremely shy girl and was easily corrupted although very loyal to Verena which she appreciated, Carrie wasn't overly attractive with braces lining her teeth and freckles spread throughout her face with frizzy curly hair but she was a sweet girl. Verena was definitely the better looking of the two and even being such an outsider some of the guys quite fancied her as she was quite attractive in that goth way with her long black hair and a nice womanly body with great breasts that she sometimes had bursting out in a black corset along with a cute little behind, she also stood at a nice height of 5"7 with enchanting chocolate brown eyes that were just mesmerising in shape and appearance.
　
　
One day at Marrina high as Verena and Carrie stood in the hallway one of the school studs named Derek came up to Carrie and asked her if she would like to go the movies with him on Saturday night, this was highly unusual as Derek could almost have any girl in that year he was so charming and good looking, why would he want Carrie was Verena's immediate reaction. "Oh my god yes I'll go the movies with you Derek" said Carrie naturally thinking she had finally been noticed and by the school's hottest guy not realising for a second that something suspicious was going on.

"Ok great meet me outside the redding cinemas 7pm Saturday night" Derek said before giving Carrie a peck on the cheek before walking off.
"Oh my god Verena did you just see that! Derek hunfort just asked me out!" squealed Carrie.
"Are you sure this isn't some joke? said Verena
"Joke? Oh what I'm not pretty enough to go out with Derek? I'm not hot enough? barked Carrie upset from Verena's comment. Verena knew there was no talking her out of it so she just decided to turn up herself and keep an eye out for her best and only friend from school.
The day of the date came around and the clock struck 7 pm, Carrie waited outside the cinemas as unbeknown to her Verena secretly watched on behind a building nearby to make sure nothing happened to Carrie and if it did she would be there to either stop it or lend support. Shortly after 7 Derek appeared and he was alone, that was a good sign Verena said to herself, Derek greeted Carrie, took her hand and went inside. Verena was surprised, maybe she had got it wrong, maybe Derek's offer of a date was genuine, Carrie might not be the prettiest girl but she had a heart of gold and any man would be lucky to have her. She waited a few more minutes just in case then went home happy that there was finally some good occurring for once. A few hours later Verena got ready for bed, as she laid there though she was curious to see how the rest of Carrie's date went so she decided to call her and get all the "goss". After trying a couple of times Carrie finally answered and it sounded like she had been crying. "You were right" she said.
"Right about what" asked Verena thinking the date had gone well.
"Right about Derek, right about everything I'm just a metal mouthed frizzy haired loser" sobbed Carrie.
"What happened? I thought everything went good?" replied Verena
"Far from it, he took my hand on arrival and was acting all lovey dovey with me then once we got into the cinemas and sat down to watch the movie they put up pictures of me taken in the girls locker room getting changed up on the cinema screen completely embarrassing me, all the pictures had captions too like freckle head and metal mouth and they called my underwear granny panties, I just burst into tears and ran straight out, i just wanted to die when they were all laughing at me and pointing" said an emotional Carrie.
"How on earth did they get the pictures up on the screen? asked a perplexed Verena.
"Katie Fulton's older brother was the projectionist so she set it up using Derek as the bait to get me there" replied Carrie. Upon hearing this it made Verena very angry, they had utterly humiliated her best friend and they weren't going to get away with it that's for sure, her main focus would be on Katie Fulton though, her ex best friend. The next day at school everyone was still laughing at Carrie over the incident at the cinema with some heartless people even filming her leaving the cinema in tears and posting the footage online for everyone to see and it strengthened Verena's resolve even further to gain revenge for Carrie and settle an old score with Katie.


Over the next few weeks Derek and Katie started dating and couldn't keep their hands off each other in numerous displays of sickening public affection around the school grounds while Verena had a meeting after school with what could be called the "Steve jobs" of witchcraft, a woman named Saffron Tempest. It had been reported in many circles that some of her spells really worked and if she liked you could teach you more than a thing or two about black magic and the power that can go with it. After countless hours chatting about spells and potions in her bedroom Verena asked Saffron if she could set her up with a spell to cast on Katie Fulton, Saffron told Verena she could help her out but with great power came great responsibility and she had to be prepared for it. "Oh I'm ready alright" remarked Verena.
"Ok then i will give some of my wisdom" said Saffron as she wrote down one of her spells for Verena to say out loud. She handed it to Verena who repeated the words out aloud when suddenly a female skeleton appeared in the corner of the room.
"How the hell is a skeleton going to help my cause?" Verena said wondering what the hell this all meant.
"You have heard of a voodoo doll right? asked Saffron
"Yeah of course" replied Verena.
"Well this is a voodoo skeleton. It's a much more advanced version of a voodoo doll and every single bone in the human body is on this skeleton including vertebrae so if you snap a bone on this skeleton the bone of the person you intend it for will break on their body so in this case Katie Fulton" explained Saffron.
"Whoa" remarked Verena stunned at the possibilities, she could have some real fun with this.....

　
Chapter 2
After Saffron left Verena looked at the "voodoo skeleton". She kind of thought about giving Katie a serious injury straight off the bat but then decided no, she was going to take it slow and enjoy it, poor Katie wouldn't know what hit her she said laughing to herself. She moved over to the skeleton and snapped the the first bone on the skeleton, the pinky toe on her left foot, it was only a toe but still nuisance value and she just wanted to see if it worked too, sure Saffron was renowned for having spells that worked but as the saying goes the proof of the pudding is in the eating so she would wait and see tomorrow if it had all worked out to plan.

　
Verena couldn't wait to get to school the next day and arrived early so that she didn't miss Katie, after numerous people passed Katie finally appeared, she looked gorgeous with her long blonde hair glowing in the morning sun wearing a pink tank top and white shorts showing off her shapely legs with black thongs or flip flops to some on her feet, Verena studied her walking in and noticed she had a slight limp, she followed Katie in and eavesdropped on a conversation she was having with Derek and some friends. "This toe is really starting to annoy me, i was just lying in bed last night then all of a sudden it just started throbbing for no reason, i must have knocked it on something and didn't realise" Verena heard Katie saying to Derek.
"Yeah i don't know sweetie, it looks pretty swollen" replied Derek while concentrating more on nuzzling the side of Katie's neck with his lips.
"I don't know it's just one of those things i suppose" said Katie marking it down to just one of those unexplained occurrences in life. Upon hearing this Verena knew it had worked and she could now plan her downfall of one Katie Jane Fulton confident it would be a successful exercise.
More time passed at school and after a derogatory remark from Katie towards her at school Verena decided it was time to snap another bone, there was no expiry date on any of this so she was going to take it nice and slow and move up the skeleton as she went, this time she moved up to the lower leg and snapped the tibia bone on the right leg. Verena couldn't contain her excitement as she once again went to school early to get a good position.
Once again Katie was one of the last to come in, she was on cute pink coloured crutches with her right leg encased in plaster of Paris up to her knee and Derek was by her side helping her out by carrying Katie's books for her. Verena couldn't help but smile looking at Katie as she had extreme difficulty getting up the stairs to her first class, Katie even stumbled and almost lost her crutch on the last step which created a good giggle for Verena. "What the hell are you laughing at you freak" Katie barked at Verena while she recovered her crutch. Verena just looked at her and said nothing, she didn't have to, she had all the power. Once again Verena followed her and overheard Katie's conversation where once again she was telling people she had no idea how it happened and that she seemed to just break her leg out of nowhere while she was sitting on the couch which everyone thought was a bit strange as they put their signatures on her plaster cast, her toes wiggling furiously in the cast Later that day in physical education Katie cut a sad figure as she looked at everyone running around while she looked after her broken right leg, little did she know worse was to come.


　
Over the course of the next week Verena loved seeing Katie so restricted in her movements with the broken leg ruling her out of the cheer leading finals 3 weeks away, this day Katie had black pants on and only had the heel of the cast showing with the rest of her plastered foot covered by a delightful red sock. As she looked at Katie she noticed she wasn't smiling or having as much fun as she normally seemed to have and there appeared a strong sense of worry now in her beautiful blue eyes. By the time the week ended though Verena started to tire of Katie's broken leg and once again headed over to her skeleton. This time she decided to break the largest bone in the human body,the femur.She grabbed the enormous leg bone and SNAP!!! She realised then that she had done this on the Saturday though and would now have to wait until Monday to see her handy work with the 48 hours in between feeling like an eternity for Verena.

　
As sure as night follows day Monday soon arrived and so did Katie in a little blue singlet top and a pink skirt, only difference was now she was restricted to a wheelchair and she had an llc on her left leg, in fact it was completely covered in plaster from her hip down to her delightfully painted purple toes blasting out the bottom of the cast, she still had her slc as well and struggled quite badly in the wheelchair with her arms getting tired easily. Once again all her friends wanted to know how on earth she broke her other leg to which she replied that she doesn't know and it's really freaking her out as she doesn't have many limbs left to break and she had no idea how it was happening, she was now starting to get a bit frantic about the situation and people were starting to think she was going a bit loopy as well as seemingly accident prone. After seeing Katie in her wheelchair Carrie remarked to Verena that maybe "karma" was at work and Katie was being punished for being such a bitch all these years.

"It's not karma but i have to say I'm enjoying seeing her like this" replied Verena.
"Yeah it's horrible isn't it" said Carrie sarcastically as she looked at Verena. They both had a giggle as they looked at Katie in her wheelchair crashing into a bin after losing control of her wheelchair down an embankment. The school football team had a big game on the weekend and although Verena had no interest in football she made a brief appearance to see how Katie was doing, she turned up to see Katie sitting just in front of the stand in her wheelchair,her blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail and even though she couldn't perform she was in her cheerleading outfit with a blue and black striped crop top exposing her stomach with a blue skirt and blue socks covering up the feet of her casts to keep her toes warm. Verena actually thought Katie looked quite cute in her casts and was enjoying this all immensely....
