This was uuh....something I was working on awhile back, while it isn't done, I would like for you guys to take a look at it and see what you think, this was pretty much an attempt to make a horror story. XD I will try to finish it if i ever see the chance to, but until then, tell me what you think of it so far. ^-^ I do hope you enjoy what I have so far. Once I finish it up I'll properly seperate areas of the story into chapters.
it just seemed like a normal night for me when i got off work around 8:00 at the local drug store, i never would have thought that it would take a turn for the worse, especially not like this, but im getting ahead of myself, let me start by telling you my name. my name is Alexander Hamilton, but, my friends and parents call me alex for short. i am 16 years old and i am a junior at Alan Hamphered high school in the state of Lousiana, ive been able to keep high grades since i first started school, so far ive only actually had 3 B's, other than that, it has been all A's, which is something i think anybody would consider a fleet not many people can take, but unlike other's, i don't allow this to get to my head, i don't think im one of the smartest people in the world, cause honestly i can be a very dense person at times heheh, but because of that, thats actually gottn me very populer with most people, heh, but anyways, enough about that, i may seem a bit cheary from telling you my background, but belive me, im not, right now, im freaking out, and badly to, so allow me to tell you whats going on from the start...
like i said, i had just got off work at my part time job at the drug store, about 8:00 P.M, it was a snowy december, about a few days before christmas, and with it being a few days from then, i needed to head to the store to get some gifts for my newborn sister, Ashley, and my good friend Albert, the guy was a complete goofball, but thats why me and the others loved him so well, me and him have pretty much known eachother since we first started middle school, hmhm, good times, anyways, like i was saying, i needed to get some gifts, so i got into my truck -a white chevorlet- and went off into the actual city. oh, right, i forgot to mention, heh, right now im on my second level learners permit, so you cant go questioneing me why im driving on my own when im only 16 -but then again, why would you?-, but with that, that meant i needed to hurry home before 9:00, thats when i wasent allowed to drive alone, according to the law. Anyways, im getting off topic, back to the story, so i went into town, let's go ahead and skip the shopping and focus more on the return trip back home, for thats when things take a turn for the worst...
My parents live up in the more country area around town, so there's more tree's than there are biuldings, my parents always loved the quite and peace of the country area than they did the loud and bussling sounds of the city, so when they heard there was a house out in the outskirts of town a few years ago, they took it in a hearbeat, sadly, that made my trip to school and back a little trickier, ehehe. Anyways, im finally out of town and im starting to get into the country area now, the night looked real nice with the snow falling down, that is one thing i did like living out here, the sky looked better out here than it did inside town with all the lights covering it, heheh, i was always into astrology, i guess thats the reason why i love looking up into the sky. But then, suddenly, while i was glancing up at the sky, the truck started to shudder and slowing down, and before i knew it, the truck had came to a halt, and everything turned off. damn, the battery must have died, which is kinda odd though, cause i could have sworn it all looked like it was in good condition when i got in this morning, "man,looks like im going to have to get help" i said, i took out my phone and dialed for my house. When i hit the button to call, i got nothing, great, it seems like i broke down in a dead zone. "Oh well isnt this MY lucky day!" i said sarcasticly, looks like im going to be stranded out here for a bit, the house was a little far off from where i was, and ill be honest, i did not feel like walking out in that cold for so long, so, i decided to just stay in my truck until someone came by, even thought it was night time there where still a good number of cars that went through here during this time of year...but it was about 15 minutes later of waiting, and there was still no one around. "mh, well this is odd, usally at least one person would be coming through here, especially since christmas is around the corner." i said to myself, this was getting odder every passing minute, was there a road block ahead? Maybe, but that would'nt explain why no one was coming from town, maybe i passed one by accident? but then there would be construction equipment around the area, i was clueless, it just didnt seem right. I wasen't really sure what to do then, it didnt seem like any one was coming through, so it seemed like i would have to walk back home and get help, but then as i got out of my truck, i saw someone on the other side of the road, sprawled out,how did i not notice them before!? i dashed over to the person that was on the ground on there stomach, "hey, are you ok!?" i yelled over to them,when i got over to them i crouched down and rolled them over, and i saw that it was a little girl! she couldnt have been no older than 9, thankfully, she was breathing, but she was god awfully cold! "i need to get her in the truck before she freezes to death!" so i ran back to the truck and placed her on the passenger seat, i got back in and made sure she got warm, heh, even without the heat on, it was nice and warm in there, thankfully. About a few minutes later, she woke up, which im glad she did, to be honest i thought it would take a bit longer for her to wake up, but im glad she did sooner. "huh? ...w-where am i?" she said, looking around the truck "hey there sleepyhead" i said a little playfully,(hoping to make her at ease), "i saw you outside passed out, so i brought you here into my truck so you wouldnt freeze out there." i said,smiling at her. "i was? but...where's my mommy and d-daddy?" she said. "Mommy and daddy?" i said, "y-yeah, they where with me a while ago, now they seemed to have disappeared" she said, beggining to sob. from the sound of it, it seemed like the girls parents abandoned her out here in the snow!i don't care how you put it, thats exactly how it sounded! who would just go and do something like that!?!? why in god's name would you do that to a kid, epecially your own!? the poor girl! i patted her back "hey hey, don't worry, im sure we will be able to have them come and get you, if not, then we will find them ourselves." i reasured her "d-do you *hic* promise" she said,still sobbing a little. "i promise" i lied, to be honest, if i did find them,it would be to ring them out, the girl could have died out here if i didnt find her! I would have to take her to a foster home,who ever those people where, they seemed so unfit to be parents! ill make sure she goes to a good family if its the last thing i do! "t-thank you stranger" she said, still sobbing a little, but she was smiling now, so that was a reasurance, "no problem, and you can call me alex, thats what everyone calls me" i said, beggining to rub her back again, now that i knew she was ok, i took a better look at her, yep, she did look about 9 years old, she was half as tall as i was, surprisingly, her hair was startlingly long for her age-well, it was startingly long to ME anyways- it went all the way down to the middle of her back, then and i looked at what she was wearing and was even more surprised on how she didnt freeze to death, all she seemed to be wearing was a small grey dress, and not to mention it looked a little tattered as well -god its like her parents didnt even care for her!- jeez, how she survived the cold, ill never know, but she must be a trooper if she DID survive out here. "whats your name little girl?" i asked softly, she wiped away what tears where left and looked over at me a little red eyed now. "m-my name is S-susan" she stuttered, i guess she was still a little cold. "well its nice to meet you susan, hmhm. Mmmh, you seem to be a little cold still" i say, no duh idiot! of course she's cold, her teeth are praticaly chattering, i think to myself. "y-yeah, it was really c-cold out there" she said, she looks down a little at my heavy coat. "c-can i have your jacket please? just for a little?" she asked me, her eyes looking a little pleading, "oh! of course susan! of course you can, you need it more than i do right now." i took off my jacket, i had a small hoodie on under the jacket anyways, I thought it be getting really cold today -which it actually wasent as bad as i thought it be- so it would still be a bit warm for me. I then took the jacket and layed itover her like a blanket, susan then giggled a little "heheh, thank you alex" she said smiling. I smiled back at her, glad that the jacket will be able to warm her...but...i felt like something wasent...right. I don't know why, maybe it was for the fact there where still no cars coming by, i don't know really, I just shrugged it off, it was problably nothing, but that did make me realise a problem, now that i had susan, i would need to keep her with me until i could get to my house, and right now, my truck is not moving an inch. I can't take her with me on the walk there, especially in her condition, and i can't leave her here either, while it seems like a very slim chance that no one was even going to come by, i didn't wanna risk the chance of someone actually doing that, and besides, for all i know, there could be some kind of forest crazy out in the woods next to the road that could take her -crazey idea, i know, but hey, its night time, and wierd thing have happend in this town before-, so until someone comes by, or until she warms up enought to where i can at least carry her, it looks like we are both stranded out here....
