SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 9

Chapter 

I am out the window standing on my feet in a matter of seconds. As I look around me, I realize I’m in an ally. I can see dumpsters everywhere the smell of the trash is enough to make me sick. I’m trying  to decide which way I need to go when I notice street lights coming from my left. I start walking towards the lights the fog becoming heavier with every step I take. I can barely see the street lights through the fog now I remove my cell phone from my pocket again opening it up I flip though my apps until I find my flashlight app. When I locate the app I turn it on shinning the light down on the nasty street then proceed to launch my body down the foggy road slowly.

I make it about half-way down the alley when I hear something. I stop walking so I can restart my app when the light is on again I hold the phone out in front of me trying to see where the sound is coming from. I hear the noise again. “Hello is someone out there?” I call no one answers. This is the third time I’ve heard the same sound but it seems to be getting closer to me. My light goes out again making me have to restart the stupid app over once again once it's on I hold the light out trying to look behind the dumpster. I can’t see anything I tell myself to keep walking. Besides it’s more than likely rat’s behind the dumpster. I set out walking again picking up my speed.  I’m moving forwards as fast as I can without running. My hands start to feel hot like they are being held under hot water. Something starts to speak to me. It’s not a voice like when I hear Case in my head. This is different it’s like my whole body feels it. It hits me then it’s not a voice at all it’s my body. My body is talking to me telling me there is danger coming. It’s hard to explain the feeling I’m getting, the closest thing I can compare it to that you might understand is the feeling you’re body gets when you feel someone is watching you. You’re whole body goes on alert ready to spring into action at a moments notice. Now if you understand that feeling imagine it only a thousand times stronger. Instead of being afraid, I feel excited my adrenaline has me so pumped up I want to fight, my body is craving it. Never in my life have I ever felt anything like this before.

I look back towards the place the noise is coming from two things becoming obvious at once the first is I no longer need the flashlight app my eyes is seeing everything as if it’s day light instead of night. I can see everything clearly its amazing. I’m looking around examining everything in sight when I hear the noise again. I turn back to the dumpster sucking in a sharp breath when I see it for the first time. This is where the second thing comes into play.  Never in my life have I seen anything like it. It’s fucking huge it’s got one red eye in the middle of its head it’s skin is a deep blood red. Something slimy is running from its mouth looking a lot like slobber “gross.”  It has a tail like a dragon with spikes beginning at the top of its head and running all the way down to its tail. It standing on four legs like a dog its mouth is open into something resembling freaky smile. Its teeth are pointy each about four inches long. Slobber drips from its mouth making smoke rise from the ground with each drip still, I feel no fear. I am ready. A growl comes from the creatures' mouth. I look around for something I can use as a weapon. I see a metal pipe running up the side of the building connected to the night club.
