Monsters Aren't Real

in the spirit of halloween (even tho i shouldn't/don't celebrate it. woohoo)

It was a dark and chilly night and you were driving home from work. The job wasn't special, you worked as a waitress/hostess at a resturant in the center of town. You only worked the night shift since it's the only postion that seemed to be open in the entire town of Forks. You thanked those dumb Twilight movies for that. People thought it'd be cool to move here after the hit movies were released, not realizing the town was nothing like it's fictional replica. There were no handsome werewolves or weirdly cute vampires. It's just a regular ol' boring town that was much easier to survive in financially before all the fans moved in.

You were driving on one of the many dark, vacant roads in the town when you started to hear a weird noise. Nothing but the forest surrounded the roads so your first thought was that it was an animal, but as the sound went on you realized it didn't sound much like any animal you've ever heard. It sounded more like someone put a coin in an empty can and shook it, but more muffled like they had their hand over the can while doing it. Your car began to shake. It was an old truck that one of your dad's friends gave you as a "welcome home" gift when you arrived here for school. You were living in Arizona with your mom, but things changed and it became more difficult for you to stick around there so you decided to go to college in your hometown to give her a break.

The truck started to slow down and after a quick glance at your dash it all started to make sense. The pointer on your fuel gauge was far behind the E, making you regret being too laxy to get gas after your shift was over. You just wanted to hurry up and get home so you can go to sleep and thought you could make it on the small amount of gas, but now you were paying the price for being wrong about that.

"Oh, no. No, no, no, no." Your car was beginning to slow down so you pressed your foot on the gas pedal hard. It sped up for a few seconds before completely stopping in the middle of the road.

You immediately grabbed your cell phone out of the purse laying on the passenger seat and unlocked it to call your dad. He might already be asleep but you desperately needed his help. Other than this incident, you made smart and responsible decisions so you knew he wouldn't be upset about getting up to come help you. Plus, you're his daughter, he kinda has to.

"Of course." you said after realizing you had no signal in the spot you were in. It was such a typical and unfortunate situation that you were in. There was no way in hell that you were going to step foot out of your car so your best bet was to wait for someone to drive down this road. You knew it'd be a while since no one took this road this late. You'd most likely have to wait until dawn, which sucked. Waiting on a dark road alone in your car was not how you wanted to spend your night. It wasn't even close.

It had been a couple of minutes of sitting in your car when you thought you saw something. It wasn't another car.. you think. You actually couldn't make it out. It was sort of a blur but it went past your car and now you felt even worse about being stuck in this spot. You saw it again, going past the front of your car this time then, again, on your left side. The same weird figure kept appearing going pass the front of your car and both sides. It came to a point where you were beyond paranoid, looking all around you to see where it'd appear again. As you were looking through your rearview mirror trying to catch another glipse a figure appeared next to you out of thin air. You jumped and out your chest to your heart. It may be your nerves playing tricks on you but you were positive that you didn't see anyone walk up to your car. You didn't even see a car pull up for anyone to walk from.

As your heart rate slowed, you looked through your closed window and up at the man who stood on the other side of it. It was dark out, but your headlights were still on so you could make him out. He stood over six feet tall with a blonde hair that stood up on top of his head, making him seem even taller. He wore all black; black tee, black jeans, with a black leather jacket to match. He had fair skin with a little stubble growing on his face. A black lip ring sat in his bottom lip and a  smirk was plastered on his face as he looked at you with blue eyes that seemed to glow under the night sky. You were kinda in a daze as you looked at him, not only because he was attractive, but because you were  wondering how you had never seen him in the small town and why he was in the middle of the woods by himself at night.
