Chapter One
"Where the hell does one even start?"
"I'm assuming most people do not start writing at 12:30 at night, generally there is some planning involved"
"…"
"Hey I'm just assuming, but what do I know?"
Sighing heavily and knocking back her fourth drink of the night, Coba's mind began to wander.
"Why not just go to bed, you know, turn off the television, and close the laptop and rest?"
"Why would I ever do something crazy like that? And plus I.."
"Already slept for six hours straight this afternoon, yes I am well aware"
"So shut the hell up then and let me relax"
"Fine"
Coba allowed her mind to wander as she slowly scanned the apartment. She took in the scratched wood coffee table and the amount of clutter that lay on it. Papers, lotion bottles, pens and markers, empty cans, nail polish, plates, earrings, lighters and a digital camera. "Jesus, and I live here", she mumbled out loud as she contemplated her empty glass. Fully aware that it would be now her fifth drink she slowly placed the laptop down on the cushions of the couch and pulled herself up. Ignoring the sudden wave of dizziness that fell upon her she shuffled the three steps into the kitchen, yanking up the green blanket wrapped around her shoulders. She pulled the freezer open and dug through the variety of frozen food to yank out the cracked ice cube tray. Turning slowly so as not to irritate her head further she placed the tray on the counter and then turned for the orange juice. Just as her hand brushed the door handle Munnin hissed harshly into her head, making her eyes throb and her head spin.
"RUN NOW!"
Coba felt cold hands grip her shoulders and wip her around, all the while digging their nails into the soft flesh of her forearm. A rough angry hand grabbed her throat and smashed her into the fridge, rocking it back with its force. Coba fought to lay eyes on her assailant while clawing at the hand around her throat. The face that she met was covered with a black ski mask but the eyes were cold…and black.
Chapter Two
"Shit!" she cursed
"A DEMON", Munnin screeched inside her head
Her assailant studied her face, and a slow chuckle rose from the back of his throat. It was a disgusting sound that would drive any sane human being to the place with the buckled jackets and mind numbing sedatives.
"Hi pretty bird, I ffoouunndd yyyooouuu" The demon let out another disgusting chuckle as he gripped her throat tighter.
