I opened my eyes and darkness welcomed me.
It was almost pitch black if not for the light the moon was giving. I scanned the place and realized I'm not familiar to it, my heart started to beat faster than normal.
I tried to calm myself and think that this is just another prank my best friend is pulling.
"Myca, I don't like this joke!" I shouted but my voice came out weak.
No one answered. I shouted again "Myca, this is not funny. Please tell me it's a joke."
Still no response. My hands are starting to get clammy and cold sweats are trailing down my temples.
This is definitely not a prank. I closed my eyes to think, trying to remember why I got here. How I got here.
Maybe I just got drunk and passed out here in a dark alley. But if I did get wasted then I should be with Myca 'cause I never drink without her. Since I'm the kind of person who always needed a company whenever I go out.
The more I think of it, the more I get confuse.
I tried to walk around and explore the place I'm not familiar with.
I saw a small light post that gives the dark road a shade of light. Relief instantly hit me 'If there's a post then there's civilization'. I don't know how I came up with that logic but it gave me hope.
I walked towards the post when I felt something was following me. I walked faster until I was running. I reached the post and with heavy breathing I slowly turned my head around to see what was behind me, but I found nothing.
Maybe nothing's really there , maybe it was just a result of my uncontrollable panic. I took a step forward to make sure nothing was really there when I accidentally stepped on something and it started scratching my leg.
"Ouch!!"
I groaned in pain.
The cat that was as dark as a night won't stop.
I fell on the ground and the cat continued to dig its nail on my bare skin. I could feel blood starting to drip down the cemented road. A brick caught my eye through my peripheral vision. I instantly took it and slammed it to the cat. I ran away as fast as I can and when I realized it's not coming back I stopped on my tracks and sat down beside the road.
I am now in a what looks like an old bridge.
I winced in pain because of the wounds that cat made.
"Oh my darling." a woman's voice echoed throughout the dead silent alley.
"Oh my darling." her voice was rough and scary. It sent goose bumps all over my body.
"Oh my darling" she paused and let out a short wicked laugh.
"Clementine" I stiffened. My heart beat became so fast, it can actually get out of my throat.
Clementine, that's my name. I know it's really the lyrics of the song but why in all of the songs in the world, would she sing that one? The one with my name in it. And why in a situation like this?
A cool breeze brushed past through me and it smelled... rotten? It smelled like a rotten flesh. I tried my best not to throw up, then I suddenly felt a cold presence beside me.
Relax Clementine, it's okay. Nothings there. I told myself mentally. Trying to convince myself that nothing is there.
"Oh my darling. Oh my darling." she started singing again.
Oh God no! please no!
I have never been terrified like this. I'm really terrified to the point that my hand and knees are shaking.
