Voodoo Doll ||5SOS||

Prolouge

We heard a hard pounding on the door of Luke's house.

"I'm playing some game with Luke and Calum's asleep. Ashton plus it is your time to get the door," Michael said so he wouldn't have to get up.

"Fine, but you have to get up next," I say throwing a pillow at his face but it didn't faze him.

I laugh as I get up from my spot on the couch and walk up to the door. When I get to the door I look through the peep whole to make sure it isn't another crazy fan. Okay, good it's just the mail man.

I open the door to the forced smile on the mail man's face.

"Hi is a Five Seconds Of Summer here?" He asked looking at the piece of paper.

"That'd be me, well and my mates, but they were to lazy to get up," I say laughing a little and he joins a bit too.

"Well, you just need to sign here and this package is yours," he says handing me a pen then tells me to sign on the dotted line. "And here you go," he says giving me a small box wrapped carefully.

"Thanks. By any chance, do you know what's in here?" I ask looking up at him, but he's already gone. That was weird.

"Hey Ash, who was it?!" Luke says as I close the door.

"Oh, the mail man. Did anyone order anything," I say walking in with the box.

"No. Wasn't me. Calum? Calum. Calum!" Luke yells at the sleeping Calum.

"Mmmm Hmm, ummmmm?" Calum mumbled sleepily.

"Did you order anything?" Michael says throwing a pillow at his face, which Calum throws back.

"No, why would I? Did something come?" He asked suddenly waking up.

"Uh yeah. Haven't opened it yet. Might be some fan mail again. But they've never sent a box before," I say inspecting the box.

"Hand it here,"Luke said holding his hands out for the box.

He takes off the packaging paper to reveal a beautiful box- and yes the box was beautiful. We all stare at the box it self for a bit then I decide to open it. I lift the lid slowly and am suprized at what I see inside.

An authentic voodoo doll. What the hell?

"What the fuck?" Michael says taking it out of the box.

"Hey, wait, there's a note," I say picking up a piece of yellowed paper. "I have trapped a real soul in this doll. You may do what you would like with this fragile girl's heart but I warn you, if you try to dispose of the doll nine times, I will make one of all of you. Her name is Nicholet Black, and you will meet her today. She has dyed maroon hair that turns dark purple then navy blue at the ends. Good luck," I read out loud.

"Is this a prank or something? Who would do something like this?" Michael says putting the doll down on the table.

"I don't know, but it's shit," Calum says picking up the doll then putting it in a trash bin.

The door bell rang. We all looked at eachother and quickly put our pointer finger to the OUTSIDE of our nose and see that Luke is the last to catch on.

Luke's pov.

I walk slowly out of the room and approach the door carefully. When I get to the doorI look through the peep hole to see a girl around my age with a few boxes of pizza in her hands. I open the door to see small smile form on her face when she sees mine.

"Hi, I'm Nicholet, and I brought your seven boxes of pizza," she says widening her eyes a bit when she says the word seven.

"Yeah, you need some help with that? It looks a little heavy," I ask just grabbing two boxes anyways.

"Thanks. Am I supposed to come in or?" She asks confused.

"Oh, yes. Sorry, yes, come in," I say opening the door wider for her to come in.

I close the door and then she follows me into the kitchen with her boxes. The lads look at me confused as we enter, but then I motion the the short girl sort of struggling with her five boxes and Michael goes to help and takes two boxes.

"Thank you," she murmurs quietly, which I honestly think is adorable.

She sets down her boxes on the counter beside Michael's and mine and let's out a short huff when she backs away. She tells us the amount of money that we ow her, we pay, and I decide to give her the tip.

She was about to go out the door when I grabbed her wrist to stop her. She turns around and glances at her wrist then at my face waiting for me to let go. I quickly let go realizing that was a bit rude.

"Uh, sorry. I was just wondering one if you wanted a tip and two of you might want to go out some time," I ask a little less confident at the last part.

"One, no, I actually don't need one but thanks. And two, I'm only here for the summer. I have to go back to America at the end of it. If you'd be willing to see past that, then sure, if not then no," she says in a sad way.

"Yes, I would be able to see past that. Also, I'm still giving you a tip,"I say crossing my arms. "My tip is that I will probably need your number sooner or later," I say as she opens the door.

"Maybe some other time," she says closing the door and leaving me in aw for a little while after.

But then I realize something. 'Her name is Nicholet Black, and you will meet her today. She has dyed maroon hair that turns dark purple then navy blue at the ends.' That I's exactly what happened.
