A Questionable Fate (boyxboy)

A Questionable Fate

"Stop. Claud I said stop!" I yelled from the drivers seat.  

Claud grunts and shoots another goldfish in my direction. When it hits me on the head I slam on the brakes, unbuckle my seat belt, and throw myself in the back seat where he and Foster are sitting. 

"Shit! Okay! Okay! I'm sorry man, sorry!" He cowers behind his hands as I smack him senseless with my shoe.  

I stop and point right at the center of his nose, "I swear if I get another goldfish thrown at me I'm kicking you and Foster out of this car. Got it?"  

Claud nods his head quickly trying not to let his smile show through. Foster on the other hand doesn't look too happy.  

"Why would I get kicked out? I haven't even done anything!" Foster says.  

"You've done many things in the past that tick me off." I say as I climb back into the drivers seat. "Please, let's just have a enjoyable, relaxing, quiet car ride home. We've got thirty minuets left, so shut up and sit back."  

Foster let out a deep sigh and Claud didn't really respond. But at least the car was finale quiet. I started to relax and just drive.  

"Hey Quinn? Where are we at?"  

I rolled my eyes at Claud's question but then looked around and realized I had no idea where we were. The roads were unfamiliar, the buildings old and dusty looking. Wherever the hell we were looked to be completely abandoned. The little town had barley any signs posted anywhere except for one that read "WELCOME TO GUNTHER TOWN" on an old rusty billboard.  

Foster says, "Where the fuck are we?" All of our eyes are glued to the our windows. We don't see one person through out the probably 4 miles we've drove into the town.  

"Okay guys I'm a little creeped out. I'm gunna turn around." I say hoping that maybe I just took a wrong turn.  

"Ya good, this town just feels plain weird." Says Claud. 

"Ya. Spooky, or cold, or something strange." Adds Foster.  

"More unwelcoming then anything." I chime in.  

I take the next left turn and do a U-turn. There aren't even and cars on the road.  

"Quinn where did you take us man, I've never even heard of a Gunther town?" Foster says quietly.  

"Way to go Quinn. Can't count how many times you've gotten us lost-"  

We all fly forward as i'm forced to slam on my brakes. A dead animal lay in the middle of the road. Foster and Claud climb up to the front to look at the animal.  

"What the-" 

"What is it?" They say at the same time.  

"No clue. It's completely slaughtered." I say disgusted. And it was. The thing in the middle of the road looks maybe like the top half of a dear? Maybe... It's feet areas sing so you can't see if it has hooves. The face is gashed in and it has open gashes on its stomach like something took a few chunks out of it.  

"Can you go around it?" Claud asks. 

"The road is already narrow and that-" Foster points at the animal, "-that thing is huge." The road was a one way street with a divider on one side and a little shop on the other. How did know one notice a dead huge monster in front of their shop?  

"We'll we can't drive over it, we might get stuck on it or something! It's already bloated, what if it like explodes all over the car and then it smells like monster guts the whole way home." Claud says a little carelessly. "Whatever just go I'm ready to be home."  

"Go where? If I can't go over it and I can't go around it what am I suppose to do? Go under it?" I say. 

"Quinn this isn't all that hard! Just back up and go down the other side of the street! Know ones fucking out here anyway." Claud yells.  

"You know how many tickets I've gotten because I listen to you!" I yell back.  

"Your such a little bitch, just trade places with me i'll drive home."  

"Are you kidding me! Hell no, the last time you drove my car you scratched it up against another car at a parking lot." 

"Oh get over that already Quinn, I said I was sorry, just forget about it!" 

Suddenly the passenger door is thrown open and a really intriguing young man is standing there. (I am not admitting he's hot!)  

"Shut the hell up." He says in a nonchalant voice. He looks Claud up and down and licks his lips. "You." He says while he lazily points at Claud. "You are very annoying."  

Foster kinda chuckles and is yanked out of his seat and being held by the mysterious stranger by the throat in an instant. 

"What's funny, ugly?" The stranger asks in a bored tone.  

"No-nothing. Nothing's funny, just-I was just... nothing it doesn't matter." Foster says in a small voice.  

I look at the stranger holding one of my closet friends. I never imagined Foster to act so afraid of a guy that's probably no more than 19. When I looked up to the strangers eyes, they were a deep blue. There was a swirl of silver-blue surrounding his pupil. I noticed when he talked the swirl got brighter and the rest of the iris darkened.  

"Be a good pet, an keep quiet." The stranger said to Foster. Foster just nodded and let the stranger pull him out of the car and lay him on the concrete ground. He looked back up to Claud and me and smiled a smile that clearly spoke cleverness.  

"Who the fuck are you freak?" Claud spat at him. 

Right when I was going to grab Claud's arm I tell him to shut up, he was no longer beside me. The stranger literally threw him a good 10 feet away for the car. "Holy-" I jumped out of the driver side door and ran around the car. This guy was not normal.  

"Where do you think your going" The stranger appeared in front of me and jerked me to a stop.  

"Who do you think you are?! You can't just attack people that you don't even know!"  

The stranger just stood there for a while, silently stating at me. "Uh, hello? Do you understand me? This is my property-" I motioned to my dark grey Ford Runner, "- you have to respect people's property!" I yell at him.  

All I get in return is his scary beautiful eyes start getting brighter. Then he says,"You aren't suppose to be here, leave and forget about your friends." The stranger turns and begins to walk away.  

I'm completely baffled, "Are you serious?!? What crazy la la land are you from where people act like this. Those are my friends you jerk son of a bitch, and I'd appreciate it if you gave them back to me."  

The stranger froze in place as I talked back to him. He slowly turned and a small smile hinted at his lips. "How did you do that?" He asked.  

"Do what?" Again I'm completely baffled and even more creeped out than ever before.  

"How did you..." He stopped himself. Then he moved so quickly and in an instant my head was spinning and my whole world felt like it was crashing to the center of the earth, my eyes went black and my body went numb. I was completely knocked out.
