Whisper

Part 6- Stranger things have happened

I will never forget that night. It is permantely seared into my brain. The images still haunt me even now, but for you to know what happened I have to tell you everything.

Robin hugged herself as she staggered along the desserted road, she didn't know how long she had been asleep, but it seemed the day was coming to an end and the darkness started to loom over her no matter how quick her pace was trying to keep up with the light. As Robin headed in whatever direction she chose her mind started to wander. She was terrified at the fact she couldn't remember anything that had happened since she woke up. The only image she had in her head was of Shane and that she had to find him.

She felt the cold invade her body and her bones shivered, she was only wearing a T-shirt and a pair of scruffy jeans, the night had turned bitterly cold. Robin looked up ahead and saw a road sign at the side of the road. She felt a glimmer of hope flicker inside her and she jogged towards it. There were names of a city and towns that she vaguely recognised but couldn't remember where she knew them from.

She heard a rustling sound behind her and turned round, nothing was there. Robin shrugged putting it down to the wind blowing the grass and leaves. She turned back wrapped her arms around herself and headed towards the direction the sign indicated the city LONDON was in. She had only walked for a couple of minutes when she heard the rustling behind her again, she looked round she was going to say it was the wind when she realised something. There is no wind. Robin peered into the darkness hiding the road from her sight. The feeling of being watched crept under her skin, but not only being watched, she was being hunted. There was a buzz in her head, she shook her head hoping it would shake the buzzing out of her mind.

A low grumbling came from the darkness snapping Robin to attention. The growl deepened and although she couldn't see anything in the dark she could feel the thing was very close. She started to back away her eyes scanning in front of her to see her stalker. She could hear the buzzing getting louder and when she listened harder it wasn't a buzz anymore it was all a group of voices shouting as one. And they were all shouting one word. Run. The stalker started to snarl and Robin felt hot breath on her face, she knew it was an animal because the breath smelt of raw meat and had another smell to it that Robin didn't recognise. She focused her vision and saw two eyes starting at her. They were the most horrific thing she had seen.

They were not eyes that belonged to an animal, They were human eyes. Eyes that looked similar to Robin's but the pupils were slits and there was no white that usually surround the iris. She saw her reflection staring back at her but Robin knew she wasn't smiling and she deffinitely wans't waving and her reflection was. The animal or whatever the thing was snapped and Robin fell back on to the ground. Looking up at the beast helped her gauge how big it was it formed a shadow against the night sky, Robin couldn't see anymore features but she knew it was big. She started scrambling back, and she saw the shadow lower as it moved towards her. She guessed it was on all fours but she kept scrambling away, she tried to turn and get up ready to sprint but she took too long and was pinned back to the ground.

She yelped as she felt sharp claws dig into her shoulders and felt the hot breath on her face. even though it was very close to her face she still couldn't see it fully. A guttural growl grew deep from within and Robin felt the power of the growl through the beast's paws. She squirmed underneath the weight but the claws digged deeper, she cried out in pain as the claws pierced her skin. The beast moved it's head closer to her and she could see the razor needle-like teeth, she could see the slavia faoming at the sides of the beasts mouth but the teeth were coated in a green liquid. Robin squirmed desperately she didn't realise she was screaming her lungs out. The beast snapped his jaws at her and she flinched crying out in terror. She screamed in pain when a drop of green liquid escaped the safety of the creatures mouth and onto her skin. It burned like someone was sticking a rod fresh from a fire into her skin. She felt her skin burn and she felt tears in her eyes as the pain intensified.
