Vibrant Memories

Chapter 1

Im left alone, in the dark. My car decided to break down in the middle of nowhere, and my phone is dead. I should have begged my friend Claire to ride home from the party with me instead of her boyfriend, at least I wouldn’t be walking in the middle of nowhere at night by myself. God my feet hurt, I feel like I’ve been walking for hours. My mom is going to kill me. I don’t remember the party being this far away from my house, or, maybe it was? I keep walking despite the cry of my feet begging me to take a break. I give up all hope in trying to find help. No gas stations, no cars, no nothing, except for this field, a good place for me to lay down for a few minutes. I close my eyes for what feels like 5 minutes when I swear that I hear a faint voice calling my name.

“Annah”

“Annah, come to me Annah.”

Ok, now I’m completely freaked out. I jump to my feet and struggle to find the owner of the voice in the pitch blackness. 5 minutes turn into 10 and I convince myself that its all in my head. Ok, where the hell am I? Its like I’m stranded in the middle of nowhere, but this is the way I originally came from, at least I think so.

“Looking for someone” a low, husky voice says right behind me.

I’m a little afraid to turn around and face this guy, but I do anyways.

“N-n-no I just got lost thats all.” I stutter. I study him, and from what I can tell in the darkness, he’s a man in his late 30’s,  insanely tall, and I think blonde hair.

“Need a ride?” He asks

“Uhm, actually do you just have a phone I can borrow or something?”

“No phone, just a car and from what I can tell, you’re pretty exhausted.”

“I-I-I” I try to talk but all I can manage is a stutter.

“I get it,” he says, his tone changing into something… different “You’re afraid of getting into a car with a stranger in the middle of the night.” He chuckles.

“Well, kinda”

“Well,” He says with a menacing tone, “I’m glad I found you, you know I’ve been looking for you for a little while now.”

Oh shit.

“What do you mean you’ve been looking for me?” I say, my voice shaking really hard.

He gives me an evil grin and his once dark eyes turned into a vibrant green. Those eyes. I’ve seen eyes like that before… I swear I’ve seen eyes like that before I just can’t quite place when, the thought of even reconizing them scares me. He takes a step closer and I feel as though I can’t move.

“W-w-what are you going to do to me?”

“I’m not going to hurt you Annah, I’m just going to make you sleep for a while.”

“Sleep what do you mean..” before I could finish my sentence he place his hand on my forehead and all I feel is complete blackness.
