Hey! New story! How are all of you? I know I kinda dropped off the face of the earth. Well...I've been working on a new story and stuff but here's this one!

I got this idea from a video game called The Fog, so I don't own the game, but I do own a few of the ideas...

Fun fact: When I had first started writing this, I had no idea how to start it. So, I went on a walk and when I came back, my brother had typed on my blank page (as he always does) "I love pizza". It made me think of Alfie, so I switched "love" out for "want" and that's how you get the beginning of this chapter and new story!

Enjoy!

"I want pizza!" Alfie Lewis exclaimed from the backseat.

"I don't care what we have as long as we eat!" Joy Mercer spoke up.

The gang was driving down an old, dusty road in a bus. They had borrowed it from the school with Mr. Sweet's permission. As a present to themselves for graduating, they were headed to a city on the other side of the small town they were driving through for a music festival they had been planning to go to for ages. Eddie Miller was driving, leaning against the sill of the open window. It was getting dark; the sun was setting behind them and everyone was hungry.

"There doesn't seem to be anything for miles." Nina Martin stated from beside Joy.

"Unless that welcome sign back there was lying, since there's a population of 121, I think we should see some kind of old witch lady in a cabin with some pickled werewolf fangs." Jerome Clarke grumbled.

"Werewolf," Alfie exclaimed, looking out the window fearfully.

"There's no werewolf, Alfie; Jerome's just being funny." Mara Jaffray assured him.

"That wasn't funny!"

"There's a diner, I think." Patricia Williamson pointed out to her boyfriend.

He maneuvered the bus to the right and pulled into the small parking lot of the little trailer diner. "It's open; let's eat!"

They all piled out of the bus and Alfie looked around. "This is just like every single horror movie I've ever seen! The unsuspecting teens walk into an old diner on a deserted street and then bam! A murderer creeps out of the shadows, looking in through the window as they all sit there happily and then ten minutes later—"

"Alfie," Amber Millington scolded quietly but her gray eyes darted to the shadows around them.

"Why do you let him watch those things?" Patricia scoffed at Jerome and followed Eddie into the diner.

Jerome narrowed his eyes at her but followed, choosing to remain quiet. The diner was empty except for the woman at the counter and the man in the kitchen. Nina, Fabian and Patricia slid into one side of the booth with Alfie, Amber and Joy on the other. Eddie and Jerome moved a table from the middle of the diner to meet the booth and sat in the chairs, Eddie beside Patricia and Mara between Jerome and Joy.

The woman made her way over to their table lazily and took their orders, which came quickly. As they ate, Alfie and Jerome almost started a food fight but their girlfriends restrained them. Nina shook her head and her green eyes glanced at the window when something caught her eye. For a moment, it looked like a tired old woman in a dirty hood but the image was there for only a split second before it was gone and she shrugged it off.

While the others left the diner after they finished eating, Eddie paid for them. Jerome took the wheel this time and they headed off again. The moon had given an eerie glow to the woods around them, but it soon disappeared behind a cloud.

"So, Alfie, was there anyone strange looking at us through the window." Joy laughed.

"No," he mumbled. "I'm probably not the target – whoever saw the murderer is the victim."

Nina felt her heart skip a beat but she immediately pushed those thoughts away. She was just being paranoid; she never thought like that. They were all going to be fine.

Jerome glanced in the rearview mirror and then back at the road. This road was dark, spooky, and Alfie's ghost stories weren't helping. Jerome wasn't one to let his imagination run wild but a thick fog was slowly rolling over the road, and fog could play tricks on the mind. He brightened the headlights and continued down the road.

"Where is this place?" Amber demanded suddenly, cutting off Alfie as he continued with his alien abduction story.

"In the next town, but I don't know when we'll get there. This place can't be that big. Nina check."

Nina reached into her bag and took out a roadmap, in search of the road they were on.

Jerome waited patiently for her to announce where to go and what to do when suddenly the bus jerked up and everyone jumped. It bounced again as the back tires popped the same way as the front ones. The others cried out as the bus spun to the side and off the side of the road. It skidded down a hill; over a few rocks and ditches, and Jerome struggled to try to keep it from tipping as everyone bumped around in their seats and into each other. It happened much faster than they thought it did, and the bus smashed into a tree.

Yay! First chapter! Let me know what y'all think! :D
