Chapter 1 : Lost
-
Jack opened his eyes to the cold night sky.
"wha-?!?"
He jolted up to a sitting position when he realized he was in the street.
"How the hell" he whispered to himself.
The neighborhood around him was dark and unfamiliar. He slowly stood up and wiped the dirt from his clothes. Too many questions swirled around in jacks head, confusing him.
He noticed a lone flickering street lamp down the road. Jack paused and narrowed his eyes when it seemed like movement under the light.
He flipped his hood over his head and began to slowly make his way to the street light.
"Umm...Hello?!" He shouted but there was no reply.
The winter air made Jack shiver.
"Hey! Can you help me?!"
No reply.
As he slowly approached the light he noticed it was a small group of people huddled over something on the ground making horrible animalistic noises.
Jack swore under his breathe when a foul smell entered his nostrils.
"H-hello, are you o-" Jack fell back on his butt in fear, as one of the figure quickly turned around revealing its bloody and torn face.
The thing took an akward step towards Jack.
Jack quickly jumped to his feet and walked backwards staying out of reach from the disfigured face of
that thing.
"H-hey now, I don't w-want any trouble" Jack said trembling.
The thing growled and made a reach for him.
"No!" Jack screamed and began to run down the street while the thing awkwardly stumbled after him.
With only the moon lighting his path it was hard for Jack to find somewhere to flee to.
A loud whistle came from behind a dark house to his left, without second thought Jack turned nearly tripping.
There was a open fence leading in to a dark backyard.
"S-somebody Help!" Jack yelled in beginning to panic.
"There's som-" something grabbed him from behind.
Jacks scream was muffled by the powerful grip around his neck and face. He kicked at, what he assumed, was a man...a very strong one too.
His lungs were getting heavy and it was getting hard to breathe, after a small moan Jack was out cold.
