"Get back in the car Felicity"

Like a person who was mesmerized, Felicity can't help but started walking towards the vehicle that was sitting in the dark like a predator waiting on its prey.

"For God's sake, what are you doing? Get back in the car!" There was a voice inside her head that kept telling her to head back to safety.

"Why is it just sitting out there?" Her voice of curiosity on the other hand, had a very different idea notion.

She didn't even realize that she was already taking a couple of steps in her bare feet and almost as if she was oblivious to her surroundings. Almost as if, she wasn't scared anymore.

"Felicity please! Turn around now!"

As her voice of reason continues to be neglected, she finally got close enough to the automobile to figure out what it really was.

"Uh..." Felicity was beginning to snap out of the mysterious spell she was under.

The car was not only big, it was exceptionally long. Longer than the average car that you will see, especially out here, at that very moment. The kind of car that you will usually find at the cemetery, when a funeral was held and a body was about to be lowered into the ground. That sort of 'Big Black Car'.

"No..No..No.."

As she finally snaps back to her senses, once again, she found herself scrambling back towards the only safe place she had throughout this whole journey. Before she turned around and ran, the mysterious vehicle started to move, very, very slowly, towards her.

"Run! Run!" Her voice of reason was shouting again.

As fast as she can, she got into the car and started turning the ignition key over and over again. This was the second time her car mysteriously failed to start, right when there was someone or something chasing after her tonight.

"[Crying]..Come on..Please..Please..Oh God..Please..[Crying].."

Even though she was already too tired from all the screaming and crying, there was very little she can do about her situation now. One or two cars passed by and was completely oblivious to her state of distress, eventhough they did noticed her car to begin with. Her existence was as good as a lamp post. As she continues her semi-futile attempt to start the car, the other vehicle was no more than a few feet behind and was about to pull over, right beside her stranded vehicle. As the engine gave its last few chugging sounds, the black car finally came to a stop. For some reason, Felicity stopped trying as well and kept very, very silent. She already locked all of the 4 doors of her car and there was nothing else she that she can do. Silently, she began to pray.

"Whatever you do, do not look at it"

The car was parked near the passenger side of her vehicle and whoever was driving it, finally unlocked their door and stepped out of it. It was probably for the best that Felicity didn't see what the person that was driving the big black car looked like, assuming you can call it a person to begin with. At least, not entirely.

[Grunting sound]

[Crying]

She tried very hard to keep her eyes closed as tears continues to flood her cheeks. The person standing across from where she sat was at least 7 feet tall and was wearing a black suit.
