Welcome To The Fallout - A Crown The Empire fic

Darkness rules all.

I get out of the car to see a patch of trees and a dark house on the side. Darkness. Nothing to be heard. Just silence. I hear footsteps in the distance, but I don't know who or what they are from. I start feeling goosebumps covering my entire body. I start to shake with every noise that I hear in the distance. I want to run off, but at the same time I am stuck. Standing there. I see a shadow by the trees and an old, abandoned house. I cling closer to the car. I see the man. He has a lip ring, and dressed up in all black. I hear noises of cracking branches underneath his feet. He's coming closer. I cringe. I want to run him over with my vehicle. 

"Hello? Anybody out there?" The strange man asks.

I don't speak. I stand there. I want to say something, but I can't. I'm too scared. My hand is on the door of the car.

"I see you there! Don't act like you don't hear me." I hear a stutter in his voice.

"I hear you. I just, don't know where the hell I am." I defend myself.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine. Trust me." The man got to the hood of my car.

"I don't know if I can trust you, I have no idea who the hell you are or what you could do to me." 

"I'm Brandon. Brandon Hoover. I'm in a band called Crown The Empire? Have you heard of us?" 

"I've never heard of you in my life. You seem... Uh... I can't explain it."

"Unusual?" 

"No, very unique."

"Oh, really? I've never been told that in my life. I told you who I was, who are you?" Brandon looked at me.

"Tiffany Vanderworth. I just graduated college. There, you know me now." I snap.

"Pretty name, you must be rich or something." He grinned.

"Oh, you definitely got that wrong. I'm far from rich. Sure I come from a rich neighborhood, it doesn't mean I am." I fold my arms across my chest.

"I didn't intend to offend you. You just seem like you're rich or something. I see you must be lost, do you want me to help?" Brandon offered.

I ponder my thoughts. "Hmmm, maybe you can help. I was attempting to go California or somewhere further than here to get discovered and possibly become famous." 

"I can't really help with the famous part, but our band's trying to get discovered too. Maybe we can help each other." He held my hand.

I jerked my hand away. "Don't start flirting with me. I just met you."

"Okay, calm down. I was just being friendly." Brandon backed away a little.
