Road trip to Hell
Chapter 1: Lost
It was a dark Wednesday afternoon, me and my friends were on our first road trip. We were heading to, well, any place we can get to on 60 bucks worth of gas. It wasn't much of a road trip, but we went anyways.
"Hey turn on the radio" My friend, Justin asked
"Which station?"
"I don't care, anything this Hicksville has"
I turned on the radio, but the only thing I got was static.
"What the hell? Your radio broke or something?" Justin asked
"It wasn't when I left"
I was puzzled, the radio worked fine before we left. In the car was five of my friends. Justin, Julie, Brandon, Joshua and some girl who's real name no one knows, everyone calls her Aut, since that's all she ever says her name is. We were driving on a highway on a hillside, when it suddenly got very foggy.
"Hey I think your windows are foggy" Justin said stupidly
"Hey if anyone spots a gas station or something, tell me" I said loudly, trying to get their attention.
The fog was so thick you couldn't see five feet in front of you, so I started to slow down. Along the road, I spotted a motorcycle dumped on the side of the road.
"Whoa, Maybe we should check it out" I said
"Why bother?" Justin said
"Ummm maybe in case someone's hurt, dumbass"
"Fine, whatever, just leave me out of it, there could be like a serial killer around, ya know"
My friend Justin was a little on the paranoid side.
I got out, and started looking for some signs of life, or death. I realized it was a police Cycle, and got a little scared. If whatever did this could take down an armed cop, what chance do I have against him? I found some identification, Cybil Bennett. I thought I had heard that name before… And then I remembered. In the newspaper, they had said they were looking for an officer that had been missing for some time. She was sent to some town to investigate some weird happenings there, and that was the last anyone heard of her. On the side of the cycle, I found a spare gun, and I decided to take it, remembering what Justin said. I quickly climbed back into the van.
"Hey what's with the firearm?" Justin asked me
"Ummm just for protection…" I said
I started driving again, and not too far from the motorcycle, I found what appeared to be skid marks, as if someone had driven off the hillside. I stopped again.
"This is too weird…first the cycle, and now this."
"Aww come on, its just some retard drove off the cliff, now come on"
Maybe he is right, I thought. I'm starting to sound like Justin I realized. We continued further into the foggy hillside. From behind us, I could spot something that resembled a bus or truck, very hard to tell in this fog. It seemed to be speeding up, so I pulled over to let it pass. But as I pulled over, it did too. So I started to speed up.
"Hey that isn't too smart, you know with the fog and all."
"That might be the guy who did that to that cop" I said
"You sound like me now"
"Maybe cause you have been right a lot"
I started going faster, hitting the 50 mark.
"Hey slow down man, you ok?"
The van started swerving.
"Hey watch the road!" I heard Joshua say
I noticed the road was covered in a sheet of ice, and at that time realized I had made a big mistake. I tried to hit the brakes, as I saw a sign that read: Road out ahead. The van started spinning as it slid on the ice, and the last thing I could remember was a sudden falling feeling…
