Hi guys this is my first story. Constructive reviews are appreciated. I plan on working on these chapters as often as I can. If there is ever a time that a chapter will take longer to upload I will let you guys know via my profile description. Also all the places mentioned in this story are made up. Anyways here we go.
Chapter 1 : "A Night to Remember"
It was 8:00 PM on a cold Friday night in October. Closing time. Thank god, Morrison thought as he glanced up from the pile of dishes he was washing at the restaurant's kitchen clock. He was only a dish boy, working at a small but we'll known restaurant named Tina's on the outskirts of the medium sized town of Whispering Pines. Quickly stripping off and hanging his apron on its peg in his locker, Morrison said goodnight to his boss Mr. Draygon (or just Mr. Drag for short) and headed out towards his car. Outside in the parking lot he saw and walked over to his other co-workers, Rihanna, Rachel, and Ashley who were waitresses to tell them goodnight. After all of them left Morrison made his way to his car. Just when he reached his car door Scotty, the restaurants cook, shouted,
"Boy imma' surely get some tonight man! Jessica finally agreed to it!"
Smiling Morrison yelled back, "Good for you bro. Make sure to go slow with it though. She's been fragile ever since she was mugged."
"I know I know. I promise I'll be careful.", and with that he got into his car and left.
Looking around to make sure there were no more interruptions, Morrison got into his Jeep Cherokee and started its engine. Hearing a slight noise when the engine started, he muttered to himself that he would have to get that checked out. He then slowly backed out of the parking space and steered his vehicle towards the entrance to the small lot. After looking both ways twice and seeing no one coming he pulled out onto the main road and headed home. About 10 minutes had passed since Morrison had left the lot when his car engine started making wierd sounds. He cursed and pulled off to the side of the road, hopping out of the car and popping the hood to see what the problem was. After giving the town mechanic a quick call and explaining the situation the mechanic told Morrison what he could do to the engine to make it possible for him to get home and that he should drop his vehicle off at the shop the next day. Well here we go I guess, let's see if I can make sense of what the mechanic told me to do.
15 minutes later…
Ugh finally, Morrison thought to himself, rubbing his hands to keep them warm, man this wind sure is cold. He shut the hood of his Jeep and made his way around to the driver's side door. He was about to get in when all of a sudden he heard a high pitched howl somewhere off into the woods near the road. Probably a wolf, he thought to himself. He got back into his Jeep and headed off again towards home, popping in a Hollywood Undead CD into his CD player. The disk had the American Tragedy album on it. The song "Been to Hell" started playing as Morrison continued driving down the long dark stretch of road. He turned up the volume and prepared for the 30 minutes he still had left to drive until he would enter the middle of town, where he lived.
10 minutes later…
Now listening to the song "Comin' in Hot", Morrison was singing along to it and straining his tired eyes on the road ahead when all of a sudden something large and black ran across the road and into the path of Morrison's vehicle, causing Morrison to swerve off the side of the road and into a nearby tree. The impact caused him to blackout upon collision with the tree when his head was thrown forward and hit the steering wheel. When Morrison awoke a few minutes later he moaned in pain. He tried moving his arms and hands which were fine. He then tried moving his legs and instantly felt pain in his right leg while his left was ok. Cursing he looked around inside of the Jeep, which was surprisingly undamaged. Morrison then spotted his Hollywood Undead CDs and smirked, well damn, that's a shame, I guess I won't be using these anymore. Leaving his broken CDs in the car and grabbing his phone, he got out of the Jeep and started limping slightly towards the road when he suddenly remembered that there was some creature that had caused him to crash his vehicle.
He paused, then decided he should at least see if there was a body on or near the road. When he reached the road he saw something a few feet away. It was a liquid of some sort, at the site of which Morrison turned on his phone flashlight, and it turned out to be a deep red colored blood. He also spotted a trail of blood leading off of the road and back into the woods. Every instinct in Morrison's head told him to just start walking, hope for someone to drive by, and call 911, yet he chose to follow the trail of blood into the woods. By now, the pain in his leg had ceased and he was able to walk normal again. After a few minutes of following the trail he spotted a small clearing and started walking towards it when he suddenly felt something. It was a presence, he could knew that much. It's just some animal, probably disturbed by me, Morrison told himself as he looked around, finding nothing of interest. He continued looking for anymore signs of blood, yet found none. He then started back towards the road when he felt something grab his neck and lift him upward. He screamed, thrashed, and tried freeing himself from the grasp of whatever had grabbed him when he was suddenly turned around and forced to look at horrifying sight. It was some sort of creature, which he wasn't able to make out very well because of lack of light, but he could easily identify the red eyes, bright white teeth, and jet black fur coat.
Before he could make another sound leave his mouth the creature threw him to the ground and howled, a long, low howl. He began backing away from the creature on his hands and feet as the creature advanced towards him, growling and snarling as it did so. When Morrison felt something hard hit his back he looked to find he had backed into a tree. OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO DIE, he cried as he put his arms and hands in front of his face. He then heard a roar and looked up at the creature which was baring its teeth and readying its claws. Morrison may have been an atheist, but at this point he was praying for any entity to save him from whatever this...thing was. But before the creature did anything else Morrison heard it below a low, almost demonic chuckle.
"Ha! Pitiful human, you shall be my next kill, for my master will be pleased by this."
Hearing this Morrison, with cat like agility, sprang up and started sprinting back the way he came, towards the road. His heart was pounding in his chest out of pure fear for his life as he ran, ran, and ran. All the while he never ceased hearing the creature behind him, feeling it getting closer and closer. When he finally emerged from the woods he continued sprinting towards the road, hearing the sounds of high pitched howling somewhere nearby. All of a sudden the creature pounced on him and turned him around on the ground. It growled , baring its teeth before sinking them into Morrison's right shoulder, causing him to scream in pain as he felt blood rush from the wound. The pressure of the creature's teeth was suddenly released from Morrison's wound as he looked up, still in pain, to see that an entirely new creature, looking the same as the thing that chased him, except that it had green eyes and a silver coat of fur, was fighting the other creature. He managed to stay awake by covering his wound with his hand while he slowly got up and tried to get away, while the two creatures were fighting. Seeing Morrison walking away the black fur clad creature abandoned the silver one, going after Morrison. This was a mistake however, as the silver creature saw its opportunity and lunged at the other creature, knocking it to the ground, and using its teeth to bite the other creature's neck, causing it to thrash around for a few seconds before finally becoming still, never to move again, but not before muttering,
"You can't stop my master from dominating this world, even if you have found the chosen one. The shadow of death has already spread."
Getting up off the creature, the silver one picked up the body and threw it with mighty strength into the woods. It then turned its head towards Morrison, who just looked on in fear, then eventually fainted from blood loss. The silver creature picked him up, gave a high pitched howl, then started its long run towards the town of Whispering Pines.
The next morning…
Morrison suddenly woke up in his hospital bed, sitting up and staring at his surroundings. Everyone in the room other than rihanna was sleeping, but this was not the case when she suddenly screamed,
"EVERYONE, MORRISON IS AWAKE! EVERYONE WAKE UP!"
At this everyone woke up, all of them smiling at Morrison. He was astonished to see them all here, Rihanna, Rachel, Ashley, Scotty, even Mr. Draygon. Suddenly all of them asked at once,
"Morrison mind telling us what happened last night?"
At this memories of the previous night came flooding back to him. Oh boy, he thought, have I got a story for you.
So guys I hope you enjoyed. As I said before this is my first story so please give me a review so as for me to see what I can improve on. Once again a big thanks to Christian Knight and Preacher of Kepler-1975 for inspiring me to write. See you next time.
