In The Woods

Every day Poppy Andersen wakes up, drinks her usual vanilla coffee, goes to work at her small diner in the heart of her small town called Misty Falls, then goes home to her 99 pound Caucasian Shepard, Harley and watches an episode or two of Sponge Bob before going to bed after a warm shower. Pretty boring right?

But little does Poppy know is that whispers about a secret lab in the mountains spreads through her small town like wild fire. But of course she assumed they were just rumors considering the town has been there for 93 years and nothing's ever happened.

Until one night a 'thump' was heard.

Of coarse she didn't think anything of it considering there were tons of animals in the woods.

So she went to sleep and was completely oblivious to the pair of glowing blue eyes watching her through her window.

"Don't run." He said, his voice raspy and deep but full of curiosity.

But I didn't run. I couldn't run. His eyes held me frozen in place even though my mind was screaming for me to run but my body completely disagreeing.

He hesitantly raised his hand as if afraid of scaring me off but I stayed rooted in place. His large, rough yet warm hand rested on my cheek as he slowly caressed it with his callused thumb and my body responded for me by leaning into his touch. I was surprised at his gentle touch considering he seemed much bigger and much larger than me.

"So soft." He murmured to himself while staring at me in curiosity.

I closed my eyes relishing the feel of his warm hand on my skin, but just like that it was gone and was replaced with coldness that nipped at my skin and sent an unpleasant shiver down my spine.

I snapped my eyes open and only to be met with empty dark woods.

What just happened?
