Main Female Character x Male Monster
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" I groan as I punch the steering wheel of my, now dead, car. "You got to be kidding me."
It was snowing like crazy and I was in the middle of a lonely road at night. I hadn't any phone signal from where I was stuck since I'm in the middle of the woods.
I was going to visit my grandma since she wasn't feeling very well. Mom and Dad were busy with their work so I volunteer to go to Midnight Hollow which was where she lives.
It's a cute town, like from the old movies. Full of stone buildings and was surrounded by a dense forest. When I was younger, I would spend my summer there with grandma and she would tell me old tales about the town. How there were strange creatures lurking in the shadows of the forest, protecting the town from any threat that might come.
A sigh fell from my lips as I rest my head on the steering wheel, thinking how could I get out of this mess. I can't go outside and try luck by walking because the snow would bury me and I will freeze to death. I don't have a phone signal so that is also out of my list.
"What in the fuck will I do?!" I murmur. If my mom was here, she would slap me in the back of my head for cursing too much. Since I was a child, cursed like a sailor. Mom says that it's grandma's fault since she also uses strong words.
Minutes pass by and the car starts getting cold. I look down at the passenger seat beside me, seeing the large basket full of grandma's favorite meals that I've prepared. I'm a chef at a five stars restaurant back home. It was my passion to create wonderful meals and see the pleasure on my clients' eyes as they eat their meal.
Taking a deep breath, I wrap my red fluffy cloak around my neck, putting the hood over my head. "That's it! I'm walking! It's just a few miles, I think I can do that." with that, I grab the basket and my bag, lock the car and start my journey on foot.

The strong cold wind sting against my rosy cheeks. A hiss fell from my frozen lips as I took another step forward, feeling my toes burning from the cold. My pants and shoes were soaked from the snow, making it difficult to walk.
I was stupid to think that I could walk miles on this storm. My body was freezing and I was slowly starting to get slower, my eyes wanting to shut from tiredness. I collapse by a tree, curling my body, trying to get warm.
Rubbing my hands together, I try to search for some hint of the town but I could only see tall trees everywhere.
"S-Stupid....I-I'm so stupid." I shutter.
I try to stand up but my legs gave up and fall on the pile of cold snow, making me totally soaked. I wrap my arms around myself and wish to every God to help me. I don't want to die in a dark forest and alone.
