From the moment she got the invitation to the slumber party, Mary knew.
This was the night she was going to kill Stacy Victum.
It was only a matter of time before she got her revenge. Ever since Stacy had stolen her favourite pillow case, a black one with red embroidery that her grandmother had given her before she passed away, Mary had waited patiently for the day she's get her revenge.
The party was next Saturday after dark. A week before Halloween. This was when Mary planned to strike.

She arrived on time, and the other girls who were invited were there as well. There was Susan, who was almost depressed and would probably become an emo later in her life. There was Mickey, who was rumoured to be on drugs because she was so happy all the time.
And finally, the girl of the hour, Stacy.
Her perfect blond hair was put up in pigtails, as if she could look innocent by appearing infantile.
For a moment, Mary felt pity for Stacy. She WAS going to die tonight, after all.
That feeling was soon replaced with one if triumph. She WAS going to die tonight, after all.
To be honest, Mary wasn't sure how Stacy would die. She was sure an idea would come to mind when the moment arose.

"What game should we play first?" Stacy asked. Susan suggested tag, and Mickey agreed about ten times.
" think we should play truth or dare!" Stacy announced, ignoring her "friends".
So the girls sat in a circle and prepared to embarrass themselves.
" go first," Stacy said. Nobody in the group tried to object. They knew it was useless.
After a few rounds of truth or dare, during which Susan had to recount her first sleepover and Stacy showed the group the candy ring her "boyfriend" had gotten her, Mickey went to get something out of her bag. Stacy hid the ring, and the two girls came back holding pillows. "PILLOW FIGHT!" Stacy yelled, walloping Mary with a pillow.
At that moment, Mary knew how Stacy was going to die.
Mary had been hit with a familiar black pillow, the red embroidery scratching her face.
She grabbed her own pillow and engaged in a lengthy pillow fight, where she hit Stacy harder than normally necessary.
Mrs. Victum walked in with a bowl of popcorn and a movie. Of course it was "Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses", Stacy's favourite. The lights were turned off, and the movie played long enough for everyone to fall asleep.
Except for Mary.
Stacy had made the mistake of leaving The Pillow out in the open. Mary grabbed it and crawled over to her nemesis. It was a slow crawl, and Stacy almost woke up. Before she could react, however, Mary threw the pillow on Stacy's face and held it there. Stacy struggled, but never got a word out.
Finally, once Stacy was dead, Mary smiled. She put the pillow back where she had gotten it, and went to bed.

Susan glared at the sleeping body of Mary. How DARE she kill Stacy! What gave her the right?!
Susan needed to act.
She picked the pillow up off the floor where Mary had left it. When she held the pillow on Mary's face, there was no struggle, as if she was accepting her fate.
Susan threw the pillow onto Mickey's bed. There was no way she was taking the fall for this.
As she went to bed, she didn't notice Mickey sitting up and reaching for the pillow.

"And the next morning, when Mrs. Victum came to wake the girls up, everyone was dead. Mickey had taken the demon pillow and jumped out the window, and no one ever see her again. They say she still wanders the world, killing people at sleepovers."
The other girls clapped as Sally finished her story. Micka frowned.
"Seriously?" She said, doubtful. "Nine-year-olds smothering each other? With a demonic pillow? That's crazy."
"Its just a story," Jane said. "They're only two years younger than us, anyway."
Micka stood up, holding her pillow. It was black, and had red embroidery that had become worn over the years.
"That's a cool pillow, Micka," Tippy said. "Where'd you get it?"
"You could say it has a history," Micka replied.
"Pillow fight, anyone?"
