A teenage girl named Rachel was sitting at her desk, doing homework,one day,when she heard a weird noise. She stopped typing her essay, and listened. It was a soft voice, a person singing: Tick,tock,tick,tock I'll be coming soon. believing it was her neighbor, a gang, or her brother Derek messing with her, Rachel shrugged and returned to her homework.

After sixteen minutes of peace and quiet, Rachel was startled to hear the calm,quiet voice, now louder, and sounding closer. Tick Tock,Tick Tock, not much longer now. Rachel was a very uneasy girl. She resumed her homework this time listening to soothing music. Her brother went to go get ice cream near by convenience store when Rachel hear the mocking music threatening song for the third time. Tick Tock,Tick Tock, not much time to run. The girl was so frightened by now that she went out with Derek to the store. Anything to get away from that voice. Rachel was fishing a twenty-dollar bill out of her wallet. As she was doing that,she shuddered.The voice sent a chill down her spine.Tick Tock, Tick Tock,you can't hind from me.Tick Tock,Tick Tock, almost time to bleed.Rachel was extremely worried."Derek do you hear something?"She asked after they left the shop.No answer. Rachel glared at him."What? seriously",he groaned."don't hear anything". On their way back from the store, Rachel sat in the front seat next to him.He plugged his headphones and turned up the music on his mp3 player. As a result of this the following sequence of events occurred.A young woman driving her car to the intersection where Derek, who had just gotten his license headed. However,he didn't see her. By the time he did, it was to late. Derek blew through the red light, swaying his head back and forth to the music.Tick Tock,Tick Tock, This is part of my plan. Tick Tock, Tick Tock , that young stupid man. Rachel glanced over at her stupid brother and realized the voice was referring to Derek. She shuddered. Suddenly, Derek saw the girl driving her car and swerved to the right- it was too late. An awful scraping noise throbbed in Rachel's ears. A metallic CRASH! jolted Rachel to her senses.
