Love of the Killer

I'll try to keep this PG-13 ok?

Merrin's POV

I look through the gap in the boards to see the dark clouds rolling in. 

"Derick, whats your status?" I ask thinking why our warning this time had been delayed- way delayed?

" Last window almost done." Derick calls. He's always so loud, I smile, he probably thinks I'm too quiet I was always an introvert in high school. I never caused trouble or talked in class.... ever. Derick on the other hand was always getting into trouble, talking out of turn and what not. If we hadn't become best friends who knows what he would have got involved in.

" Hey man, come away from the window, we need to head to the basement." Derick said with a hand on my shoulder. He had a soft side though after the storm that killed my parents, they have always scared me. I turned away and followed him down to the basement with my flashlight.

The storms in South Vally, Especially on the coast where my parents and I had lived, were extreamly harsh. The died when i was seven so i had been living in the city with my aunt and uncle and i started going to South Vally. Derick and I met in ninth grade, I had the nickname of "mute mouth" and was getting beat up in the hall one day by the quarterback for the football team and his equally buff clan. They were shoveing me and calling me "mute mouth" and saying stuff I will not reapeat. One punched me in the stomach and I fell to the ground.

That's when Derick was passing by, Derick was also on the football team as a lineman. He grabed the quarterback by the shirt and punched him repatedly untill his nose was bleeding and his crew and him scattered. After that he helped me up and we became best friends. I kept him aout of much of the trouble he would have gotten in to other wise.

As we went to the bacement I glanced back at the window and did a double take. i could have sworn ther was someone there, but the yard was empty. " Hey Merrin you ok?" Derick asked me looking concerned. I still looked at the window.

"Yeah I'm fine," I answered, yeah right, "I just though I saw some one."

" Come on Mer no one in there right minds would be outside right now, come on lets go." we went in to the asement and huddled in our blankets playing poker by an old camping lantern listening to an old transistor radio for the weater reaport. Suddenly I heard a knock at our door.

"Derick was that-?"

"Just the wind blowing a branch against-." it came again. Knock, knock knock, same rythem but faster more frantic. It wasent random enough to be just the wind blowing things around it was human.

"Der Im going to check it sounds human to me."

"Mer don't you could get seriously hurt-!"

"And who ever is out there could die Derick!" I shouted as I ran up the steps. and wenched open there and what I saw before me couldent possibly be human.

Hope you like it so far we get to meet a new character next YAY
