GHOULS, A Sam And Colby supernatural fanfic

Accident

The picture above is a clear imaginative look towards Sam and the mysterious woman

For some reason Colby had to suddenly leave for Kansas and for some other reason...he doesn't want his best friend, Sam to go with him! And that was just beyond ridiculous because they had always been a team! On YouTube, on Instagram, in real life! Sam and Colby, the duo!! Not Colby the Solo!!
"Dude, what happened?"
Silence....
"Dude?"
Ignores....

Sam sighed as Colby zipped his bag pack. He gazed into the mirror in front and his reflection reflected again on the mirror opposite. Sam knew that troubling expression anywhere. He would always knew what was also troubling Colby... although this time...his friend decided to be just a wee bit secretive!

"I'll be back within next week! Family issues", Colby slapped Sam's back. "I'm sorry man...it's just-"
"Yeah, it's cool". Sam smiled, shaking the gnawing feeling inside of him that something was bound to happened. He was always less safe these days....just as if....someone was always watching his every move. Even yesterday down at the lobby...he could've sworn-
Colby, noticing the sudden silent treatment that Sam was giving him, sighed softly and slug his back bag over his shoulder before getting up.

"C'mon!" He called. Sam, snapping out of his thoughts, looked up.
"Wha-where?"
Colby snatched the keys from the stand and gave him a devilish grin. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight...wanna go for a ride? I'm thinking of some gelato."
Sam got up, scratching his head, unsure. "It's really late man! You sure?"
But Colby was already out the apartment door, calling after him to not forget to lock up before leaving! Sam smiled and laughed inwardly. Gelato sounds kinda nice during nights like this one!
...........

Thunder boomed over their heads as the rain began to beat noisily and heavily against the front pane and the car roof. Sam was belying sleepy. Actually he was drunk with sleepiness and could only imagine himself on his bed at this very moment. Colby and him had to take a detour after a freak accident along their usual route and now...they're lost! The road currently is leading them to nowhere and Colby had the most annoying face that an annoyed person could muster! Well, he wasn't the only one who was angry at the moment! The problem was, Sam had a hard time showing his outrageous emotions when it has to fight with his sleepiness. And he was just so tired, he could no longer open his eyes. The car stopped to a halt and he half opened to see a traffic light.
"Where are we? Why are you even following the rules?"
Colby's eyes narrowed further. "Because rules are rules". He gritted his teeth until they made a terrible noise where teeth and teeth collide. "Fuck! I shouldn't have brought you! Goddamit!" His grip tightened on the steering wheels.

Sam blinked in surprise. He rarely had to comfort a worked up Colby and he wasn't sure why His friend was so frustrated. "Colby, hey, it's okay. We'll find a familiar road soon", he tried to lighten the atmosphere. Colby shook his head in impatience. "Colby, calm down. It's going-"
"You don't understand!" Colby's voice was a mixture of annoyance and anxious. "This isn't good. If they-" and then he stopped talking, realizing that whatever he was about to say was something he wasn't suppose too. Sam's opened his lips to to say something something in protest but then the words were lost to him and he shut them back pathetically.

Over head the lights turned green and Colby accelerated which made Sam clung on to his seatbelt. He placed one hand on the side door to steady himself and turned a furious glance at his best friend.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
Colby pressed on further switching from the third gear to the fourth. They were speeding across the road. Sam caught a flash of red, blue and green form the rear view mirror but he wasn't sure whether it was car or just random lights! Colby cursed, turning over once to look at the....whatever it was....chasing after them!
"DUDE!" Sam bellowed in fear. "Are we-is that the cops? Oh my god Colby you have to-"
"NO!" Colby yelled, the veins on his neck stood on end. "This car isn't stopping!"
"COLBY! That's-"
Colby flashed him with a serious glare. "Do you wanna die?"
Sam stared at him, gulping the remains in his throat. What was he even saying?
"I thought so". Colby fixed his gaze back on the road. There was nothing else, just them on the lonely road. And whatever that was just chasing them seemed to be advancing faster than before and Sam realized that it was...it looked like an animal...but he wasn't sure! His heart was beating so hard that he was sure it'll just explode out of his chest!

"Colby....."
Colby gave him a smile. Although it was so...empty...
"Nothing is going to hurt you", he said, his smile turning a little wild. "I promise-"
Something appeared in front of them and the car screeched to halt but it had been going too fast in the beginning and the wet road made the tires squeal and the car to skid and tumble to the side, rolling like a log and finally laying still after smashing against a pole. Sam remembered that he was screaming, Colby's horrified face, his eyes though...they seemed to have completely turned red and then....a high wail! Like a woman's cries quickly turning into laughter. A dark laugh...

"Sam! SAM!"
Who is that?
"ITS GOING TO BE OKAY!!"
That voice.
"Oh god...oh my-THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! Why-"
Hello? I thought I could hear someone familiar...
Where is this place....it's so dark...and so bright at the same time...
My thoughts! Is that my thoughts? I can hear them....
Sleepy...
"Sammy"
Who's there
A woman's laughter echoed the space.
"It's me!"
"Who?"
Someone came to lightly tap his shoulders and he could only identify her silky purple hair. "Me!", she whispered.

Sam's head was throbbing when he opened his eyes slowly. He found himself staring at a white ceiling and catching the smell of hospital corridors, he almost barfed. He groaned when a nurse flipped the curtains over to peek at him cheerfully.
"Good morning Mr Golbach", she greeted him pleasantly. "Actually, good afternoon more's like. So, how is the patient feeling today?"

So he was in the hospital after all. Struggling into a sitting position, he kicked away blankets and pillows and found a vase of orchids beside him on the table. On a card attached, he read the name of the recipient.
"Oh! It's from Nick".
The nurse nodded, taking a record of the readings beside him.
"Well, your friends were all here. They left after and oh!"
Sam watched as she reached into the pocket of her uniform and retrieved a folded piece of paper. She gave it to Sam. "He said he waited for you to wake up and he was actually. Also he said he was so sorry and that it was all he's fault but he still had to go".

Unfolding the paper, there was only three words written in splotches of red. The nurse blinked and left him too it, pushing her tray of medical instruments away.
Anteiku Coffee Shop
What is that suppose to mean?
He found a bunch of other cards and gifts on the table and chair but Sam was still wishing that Colby hadn't actually left for Kansas after all. What was so important anyway that had to be a big secret in the first place! And wasn't he involved in the accident to! How could they doctors let him go!!
The nurse came back with a tray of food and although it was suppose to look delicious, Sam felt like he had just lost his appetite. He stared at the baloney sandwich and the nurse patted his head.

"Eat as much as you can! It's normal to feel that way because of the medication you're receiving".
When the nurse left, Sam tried to eat but the moment his teeth sank through the soft bread, he felt as if he could just run to a toilet and vomit! Spitting out the food, he sank into the bed and pulled the covers. The food tasted like ash!! And also the smell....reminded him of socks soaked in rotten eggs!
A woman's shrill laughter made him shiver inside. "Poor poor little boy...maybe someone else...to eat!"
COLBY!
