The Prey

Writing on wattpad is new to me I usually prefer to read others story's on here but anyway here goes.

---------------------------

The rain was cascading down the windshield of the car, it was pelting the poor glass with the force of a full blown storm. The dark black sky was dim and gloomy, the entire road was pitched into the blackness making the trees on either side of the winding, twisting road stand out, there branches' reaching out like clawed hands. The whole road looked like a typical scene from a bad horror film especially when the thunder boomed across the skies, the lightning striking in vivid patterns to the ground.

The children were sleeping peacefully in the back of the car. How they slept through this racket Mary had no idea. The simmering heat inside of the car and the intense coldness' of the outside made the windows fog up. The inside of the car was peaceful, a quiet settling calm that cast the family into a sense of serene tranquillity and safeness's.

The swaying silent trees stood taller and the beginnings of a formed tunnel of stretching branches creating an archway over the road. Rain pounding so hard over the tarmac that the water was bouncing high and hitting the underside of the car.

About a mile away the bright lights of the town were shining like a beacon of light guiding the little family home.

"Hunny, wake up we're nearly there" whispered Mary.

The dark haired man groaned and shifted around a little his tired drooping forest green eyes opened then closed, then opened again his hand reaching up to rid the sleep from his eyes.

Mary glanced into the interior mirror, smiling when she saw her children sleeping peacefully. The town lights shining brighter the closer she got. The lightning streaked across the sky distracting Mary from the road for a split second but that was all it took.

A man in the road was walking head on towards the on moving car. Mary applied the brakes to late. The man in the road was hit head on smashing into the windscreen and then flying over the top of the car.

With the application of the brakes and the body landing on the wet road, the cars wheels screeching caused the car to slip and slide. Mary loosing control of the wheel. Screams ripping out of the throats of the once sleeping children.

The car started to flip the screeching metal of the messed up car sliding and spinning across the slippery road. The car finally groaned to a halt. The screams in the car died down. Then silence, nothing could be heard except the pounding rain and Marys erratic shuddering breath's.

She knew they were dead the lifelessness of the car surrounded her, looking over at her husband revealed so much blood, glass and mutilated skin. She could taste the salty tears on her lips are they poured from her eyes.

She could barley see through the rain but she could just see the outline of the body she knocked down start to move. The man started to stand up, all Mary could see from this point of view from the upside down car was the drenched look of his clothes. A white soaked shirt, black trousers, brown leather knee high boot and a long black trench coat.

Mary started to struggle with her seat belt but it was stuck in the clipper. He started to walk towards the car, towards Mary. The lighting lit up the heavens and the thunder boomed casting the mans features into the light.

That's when Mary started to panic, the rugged man was getting closer and closer to her. When he finally reached her her crouched down to her eye level Marys heartbeat picked up into a hammering sound that she was sure he picked up on when the grin spread across his face. His white hair covering his eyes but his gloved hand swiped it out of the way so Mary was staring into the luminescent red blazing eyes that twinkled down at her.

The man ripped away the seatbelt and pulled a whimpering Mary from the wreckage he pulled her into his lap stroking the hair from her face, she knew what was coming from this predator for he just loved to hunt and hurt the people he survived on.

Mary looked up at the canopy of leaves above her, the twirling oranges, reds, greens, yellows and deep purples being pelted by the rain. Feeling the cold calloused hand stop she prayed for her soul and that she would be with her family soon.

"Goodnight Mary" he whispered.

The snapping sound of her neck was drowned out over the pounding rain the bright blazing lights of the town fading and the peaceful consuming blackness claiming her.
