my terrible first story

Untitled Part 1

I looked out at the raindrops forming on the window solemnly. I was so distracted I barely noticed the police officer come in the room. He sat down across from me. "Ahem, would you like to get started now, Mr. Winnstone," as he looks at me with pity? I'm not sure as I was always bad at sensing people's mood. "Sir, you can just call me Liam," I said. The officer nodded " can you tell me what happened in the woods on the east side of town?" he says "Oh, umm, can I start at the beginning of this month?" "Go ahead," the officer says while scrunching his face up for some reason

. . .

"It's a beautiful day if you like rain," I said to my Best friend Mel. Her real name is Melody Miller but we all call her Mel. "Oh, hush it's perfectly fine in the library" It's true, barely anyone was in the public library.

"Hey, want to walk up to Makeout Point in a few weeks," I said all of a sudden

"Umm, sure why are you going to confess your feelings for me?"

"N-O no, there's a blood moon coming up and it would be the perfect place to watch the moon rise!"

"Are you gonna change to a werewolf to try and eat me?" I was annoyed at this point and snapped back "Do you want to come or not?" "Shesh, ya I want to come, L," said Mel. "Sorry," I muttered. Buzz. "Oh, that's my phone. Want a ride home, Mel?" "Sure," answered Mel.

. . .

After Mel was dropped off I collapsed in my chair at my desk. It was only 6:54. "Wow, it's early to be tired" I muttered to myself. Feeling bored, I picked up my phone and searched 'urban legends' in the search bar. One of the first pictures to come up was this strange monster that had long hair, giant, bat-like wings, and only half a body that exposed part of its spine and the bottom of its rib cage. It had long, dark tangled hair, and cold, grayish pale skin. At first glance, it looked pretty creepy, with the sharp teeth and only a torso and limbs.

. . .

I clicked on the photo to see what it was. The headline said something about a "Manananggal", whatever that is. I decided to tap the link, which pulled up more pictures and an article of the same monster. I started to read the article about what it was, although I was sure it's fake news, I was still curious. As I read on, I found out at night it separates from the lower half of its body. The creature makes a noise like "twik" in a high pitched screech. Under this sentence was a recording of the sound. It was definitely fake... I think.

As I read on I felt more and more tired, I then fell asleep at my desk and woke up at 2:47 am. "Why does it feels like someone's in my room-?" I turned around and saw a small silhouette near the wall. I gasped when I saw my five-year-old sister crying. I walked over, leaned down and asked, "What's wrong bugaboo?" "I had a b-bad dream," She sobbed "Can I snuggle with you tonight, please" She said as her voice broke. "Sure thing, bugaboo." I whispered.

...

I woke at about 9:23 AM to my phone ringing. Leaning over I saw the caller ID was Mel. I whispered "Hi, Mel"

Mel whispered back "Hi, L why are we whispering"

"Lacey's asleep on my chest, she had a bad dream."

"Oh, I'll call you back" Lacey then woke up and she said "What time is it?" with half of her hair sticking up. I laughed and told her that it was 9:30. She got up and went to eat breakfast. I got ready to go to the park I had promised Lacey I would spend a day with herIi called Mel back and asked her if she wanted to go to the park with us. Mel said "Sure but i still need to get ready." I got Lacey ready.

...

As we got to the park Me, Mel, and Lacey ran to the park.

"Yesterday i read the stupidest thing" I said

"Oh, and was that your diary" teased Mel

"Ha, you hilarious" i scoffed

"But do tell what it was" Mel continueds

"It was a stupid article about a SCARY monster called a mamangala" I said

In a serious tone she said"you shouldn't speak ill of something you don't know what powers it possesses." i responded "nice you almost got me there" as i looked up i saw that she wasent facking she was serios. "Ahhhhhhhhhh" Screamed Lacey. I broke out in a mad run to find where she was i saw her at the edge of the forest by the park. "OMG, LACEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ARE YOU OK!?!" i Yelled

...

As we got home i looked at her and asked what happened she looked up at me with a blank stare. "Bugaboo" at that moment her eyes rolled wildly till you only saw the white. In a deep voice that wasn't hers she said "SPEAK ILL ABOUT ANY KIND OF CREATUTE AGAIN YOU WILL SUFFER TILL EVERY ONE OF YOU LOVED ONES ARE DEAD THEN YOU WILL BE TAKEN TO THE WORST PARTS OF HELL AND THERE YOU WILL FACE SATAN HIMSELF"
