First Evil (17 page)
Authors: R.L. Stine
“Fear Street,” one of the policemen had said grimly, shaking his head. “Fear Street . . .”
A few minutes later he allowed them all to go home.
As Corky climbed the stairs to her room, the room she had shared with her sister, she thought of Bobbi.
Bobbi had died because of the evil spirit's jealousy.
And now Corky was alone. Left alone to remember forever the horrors of this night.
She turned on the light and glanced at the bedside clock. Three o'clock in the morning. Wearily, feeling numb, she tugged off her clothes, letting them fall to the floor, and pulled a nightgown over her head.
“BobbiâI miss you so much!” she cried out loud.
Trying to force back the sobs that threatened to burst out of her throat, she turned off the light and lowered herself into bed.
Bobbi is gone forever, she told herself miserably.
But so is the evil spirit.
The evil spirit is buried once again, buried in the old grave, locked in the coffin under six feet of dirt where it can't harm anyone ever again.
She sighed, pulling the covers up to her chin.
“Heyâ”
There was something in her bed.
With a startled cry, she reached down, grabbed it, held it tightly.
She clicked on the lamp and stared at it, blinking as her eyes adjusted to the light.
It was the maroon and white pennant with Jennifer's name stitched across the front.
She stared at the pennant, reading the name again and again.
Then it fell from her hand and she started to scream.

CHEERLEADERS:
THE SECOND EVIL
Corky Corcoran is trying to put the nightmare of her sister Bobbi's death behind her. She's back on the Shadyside cheerleading squad and has become friends with Kimmy, Debra, and Ronnie. But just when everything seems like it's back to normal for Corky, she hears horrible screams in the gym, notices a very strange young man following her, and thinks she sees her dead sister rise from the grave. And then the murders begin again. . . .
“Where do you get your ideas?”
That's the question that R.L. Stine is asked most often. “I don't know where my ideas come from,” he says. “But I do know that I have a lot more scary stories in my mind that I can't wait to write.”
So far, he has written over a hundred mysteries and thrillers for young people, all of them best-sellers.
Bob grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Today he lives in an apartment near Central Park in New York City with his wife, Jane.
