Summary
Skyler finds herself in the midst of a mysterious hurricane while trying to get home. Little did she know that something supernatural was behind it, until 2 brothers unlikely cross her path and she's pulled right into the storm.
"The storm has shifted 20 miles to the west, winds have reached 25 miles per hour and it looks like the west side of North Carolina might also be hit by hurricane Mark," said the radio. The water pounded hard on the windshield of Skyler Millers car. After sighing and mumbling about how much she hates storms, she turned off the broadcast and looked for somewhere to pull over before the storm got any worse. A few miles down the road she turned into a Gas n' Sip. She then pulled out her phone and dialed her moms number. After one ring she answered,
"Are you ok? Where are you? Did you pull over? Did you hear about the storm?" Her mother asked.
"Geez mom calm down. Yes I'm ok, I'm at the Gas and Sip right outside of the city, and yes I did hear about the storm."
"Ok, if the rain starts to lighten up try to get back here. If not, get into the Gas n' Sip and wait it out. Text me if you have to stay where you are."
"Ok, I'll let you know, I better get goi-"
"Skyler"
"Yes mother?"
"Are you sure you're ok?"
After a few seconds of silence, "Yea, I think I'll be ok."
"Ok, I love you. Be safe and keep me posted."
"Ok, I love you too. Bye," after hanging up she slumped down in her seat.
Water droplets ran down the window, and the rain started to slow a little. Skyler pulled out of the parking lot and headed toward home. After a while of painfully listening to the rain pounding all around her and the endless thunder, she turned on the radio to a familiar song,
"I hear the voices when I'm dreaming, I can hear them say Carry on my wayward son, there'll be peace when you are donnnnneeee," she sang loudly. She remembered her dad and thought about him listening to this type of music all of the time, and how it grew on her. She remembered him working around the house with this station blaring on his old radio. Her dad passed away 3 years ago from a heart attack, but she likes to listen to his old tapes and his fav radio stations. She suddenly snapped back and screamed while swerving around a fallen tree. With shaking hands she pulled off of the road and killed the engine. Thiry deep breaths later, she had calmed down enough to start the car and continue driving. Six miles down the road she turned onto a road that is home to her moms department store. Skyler decided to stay there instead of go all the way back home, plus shed hate to stay in the storm any longer than necessary. She pulled up and parked quickly, after gathering her things she looked around quickly to see if she missed anything before she opened her door.. With one hand she pulled up her hood over her dark brown hair, opened the door and stepped into the rain.
