They thirst

Chapter 1

Its no use, I think as I stop running after the football team's rundown van. Their music is still thumping and their heads are out the windows, holding beers. The tires screech as they speed up and drive away like maniacs.

The sky is dark and the stars are hidden under the layer of clouds. The news spoke about a storm coming up, the day they decide to ditch me.

In the distance, I could see the lightning followed by the thunder. The rains suddenly pours out of the sky and wind becomes strong enough to carry a person. The rotten trees howl and the leaves get swept up into minor winds and blow into neverland.

Well, I'm going to have to find shelter somewhere in this gas station.

There was one flashing light inside the station which flickered time to time. Maybe someone is inside? I run until the pitstop store's abandoned entrance. I pull on the rusty handles but it's locked tight.

Sighing, I slide down the door and put some old newspaper over my legs. Just great.

I search my ripped pockets to find my phone. The jocks really did me in. They ripped everything I had on, they spray painted my hair, threw me with powder. I look homeless. I can't even call my parents to come get me, good job for going to the that stupid senior's after party. I stick my hand completely into my pockets.

"Oh shit!" I realized that my bag was in that van.

My phone was in that bloody bag!

There's no way to get out of here.

I'm officially screwed over.

I curse again and face palm myself. I place my face in my palms and hug my knees. Standing back up, I look through the glass windows into the store.

There was movement inside. The light inside is still flickering. There was a person inside holding, I can't tell what. I bang on the window hoping the person inside would look my way.

The person inside slowly looks up to where I'm standing.

Red beaming eyes stare at me.

I realized the person inside isn't a person. It continues to stare at me, in a split second, a blood covered arm hits the window.

I stumble back and in horror I look at it. As I look up through the window the dark monster with red eyes, stares at me from where I'm standing.

In a flash, it was gone.

I know now is the time to run.

I stumble to get up and run away as fast as I could in the pouring rain, screaming for help. I run down the slippery road we drove up from, but something jerks me three steps back.

I shriek in terror and try to pull away but its grip is too strong to run away from. Its cold hand quickly covers my mouth.

"Shhhh," a woman's voice whispers, "They'll find you if you keep screaming like that. Promise you won't scream, okay?" I nod softly trying not to scream out of fear anyway.

Her breath is cold.

She turns me around to face her.
