Darkest moolight (Horror short story)

Darkest Moonlight

A/N: This will be a bad end story! The good guy won't win, read on if you would like, this is just a random story I made up over 2 days, otherwise enjoy:P

The temptation was too much, too exciting to pass up. An abandoned town seemingly lost to time, a town that Andy had no idea existed until scrolling through various social media sites but once he saw it his eyes lit up in anticipation of what he could find, upon further reading he saw that the church in the middle of the town was somehow more in a better condition than the rest of the place even if it was apparently still worn down as stated by local reports though each report said the same warning over and over again "NEVER ENTER THORNWOOD AFTER DARK LEST YOU FORFEIT ALL YOU KNOW!" The warning posed a dangerous threat but for Andy it was an invitation, he chuckled to himself as he got the rough details of the location of the mysterious town of Thornwood then closing his laptop to rummage through his equipment, making sure his cameras and recorders among other various devices were all ready to go.

The roadtrip to Thornwood only lasted an hour and a half, not that it bothered Andy in the slightest as he got closer and closer to the town with his objective in his mind. The town was dead quiet other than the hum of Andy's car and Pat Benatar's Love is a battlefield playing over the radio. Andy stopped his car at the front of the church, grabbing a small recorder, torch and his phone as he exited the vehicle. The church itself looked somewhat inviting other than the fact it was being covered in roots and decaying but the weird charm it had was undeniable. Andy sighed softly to himself, he had no idea what to expect, no idea if anything paranormal would even happen tonight, but he was still pumped for it. The faint moonlight began shining through the nightly clouds, giving Andy a sort of cue to get his once in a lifetime performance started.

With a simple click of his tiny recorder he was ready "Yo yo yo hello again all you wonderful listeners again, it is your local brown haired paranormal college nutcase Andy! It is currently... 1:26 AM Wednesday the 15th of August, I'm in the secluded town of Thornwood... but more specifically the church, it's got that warning of don't enter after dark but you know me, whenever is a simple warning label going to stop me? I'll eat that cat food if I want to sort of thing" If Andy was scared at all he definitely wasn't showing it even as he slowly began making his way up the few church steps, he took a quick short breath then pushed on one of the doors, opening it with a groan as the hinges definitely saw better less rusted days. He flicked his torch on and wasn't all too surprised at what he saw, just rows of pews lining both sides of the walls with an open walkway down the middle as the moonlight crept through the stained windows but then Andy was cautious, nervous even as when he shined his torch down the middle of the walkway, right in front of the of the altar was something.

Andy slowly began making his way towards it, his legs moving on their own as his curiosity was running ahead of his rational thinking as he narrowed his eyes trying to make out whatever it was hunched down in front of the altar then he stopped about 4 rows of pews back. The thing was a person, a woman to be exact, wearing a white almost bridal dress with flowing black hair just stopping past her shoulders. If Andy didn't know better, he could've sworn this woman was kneeling, with a slightly shaky voice he quietly called out. "H-Hello? I'm ummm... I'm here too-" Andy froze in body movements and speech as he moved the torch directly in front of him and gulped nervously. This woman so to speak wasn't exactly, kneeling, as where the torch shone in on the bottom half of her dress, it went right through.

It was then slight panic began to set in for Andy as he realized she was practically standing upright just from her arms alone with nothing from the waist down. He took a shaky breathe but soon his breathing was about to pick up dramatically as without warning the neck of the woman snapped backwards with a sickening crack, the woman's hair now flowing down with a green hue shimmering as if it was highlights but that wasn't worst of it, her eyes weren't even human, just light blue spirals and her teeth, well for Andy that was almost the final straw to make him bolt as her face twisted in a menacing smile revealing rows of 4 inch sharp teeth but Andy was frozen in fear and now almost about to piss himself as the woman spoke, surprisingly soft but a haunting undertone "Mmm hello mortal... or should I say... Andy?"
