The Disappearance (One shot)

The Disappearance

      It's a bright sunny day in the small suburbs of Nevada. The town has a few grocery stores and a school. A little boy, the age of twelve is riding his bike home from school. "It's so hot; why did they have to leave town for business? Leaving me with that god-awful aunt of mine." He griped at himself as sweat dropped off his eyebrow.

    He pulled over to wipe the sweat and heard singing coming from the house to the right where he stopped. Curious he moved his bike onto the grass. Laying it there slowly moving towards a window enjoying the singing. He peeked through the windows where the middle of the curtains was slightly open.

     The singing was coming from a woman whose hair was black as a raven's. Her skin was pale which is weird for him as he has never seen that where he'd lived. She wore a violet corset with woven patterns of birds on it.

     His eyes moved down and saw she had no bottoms except for panties. He gasped at the sight. Then with no warning, a small rock hits him in the head. It was the school's group of delinquents. Made up of 3 boys whose parents were richer and think they can do as they please.

     They laughed calling him a pervert. The boy's face turned completely red, he picked up the stone they threw, chucking it as hard as he could at the leader. Sadly, it went over his head and hit an oncoming car. Which swerved and almost ran over the bullies. The driver yelled at them all as he drove away angrily.

   "You're a freak and a pervert. In classes, we have with you something bad always happens." They said as they walked away.

     The boy sat there in silence upset with what they said. It was true he had bad luck and didn't try. He's been to counselors and doctors, and they all say he is okay. He slowly stood up knowing the singing had stopped and looked back through the window.

     She was gone, he moved slightly trying to see the room better, but he still couldn't see anything. He started to leave when he heard singing again. It was different from before a little creepier and wearier. His curiosity got the better of him again, peeking through the window again.

He jumped back and covered his mouth to scream. All he saw from that little space was a light violet eye peeking back at him. The woman fully clothed wearing a black dress and coat opened the door and started walking quickly toward him.

     "Well, well what do we have here? A young peeping boy," she said as she walked closer to him as he fell over a tree root sticking up from the ground, which he swore it wasn't there before. "What should I do to you." Her smile grew bigger and bigger until she was showing her teeth. The boy gasped seeing how all of them were sharpened.

     He quickly stood up and ran to his bike hopping on it and peddling as fast as he could. He was only 3 blocks from his house looking behind him to see if the woman was still following him. She was nowhere to be seen. He looked forward and stepped on his brakes seeing that everything in front of him was pitch black.

    The darkness started moving towards him. He quickly turned around to ride off, but it was now behind him too. He starts to cry as he sees shadows moving up his bike and legs, screaming as the shadows pull him into nothingness. The lady standing where the boy was pulled down, smiling then vanishes.
