The Monster I've Become
Part Two
Mordecai and Rigby we just finishing with their task as night was beginning to set in. It had gotten colder and the soft breeze had gotten stronger; causing them both to shiver slightly. Before long, they came to where the thick leafless trees lined the border of the woods; where there were still some traces of the trash resting in the grass.
"Man! This is the worst job we've ever done!" Rigby groaned, stretching his aching joints.
"Well if you hadn't fallen asleep and got Benson all ticked off at us, we wouldn't have had to work until it got dark." Mordecai retorted; picking up more of the trash; as did Rigby.
"Ugh! We didn't even get any breaks." Rigby moaned.
"C'mon Dude, we're almost done." Mordecai replied.
A sudden noise in the nearby bushes soon caught their attention.
"What was that?" Rigby gasped; as he and Mordecai turned around. They stood there for a moment; scanning the area for a sign of life; which part of them hoped there wouldn't be. The trees creaked eerily as another gust of wind rushed through their many leafless branches. After a few moments, Rigby spoke up.
"Heh... Probably just was the wind."
Just then, there was another sound coming from within the woods.
"Dude, I don't think that was the wind." Mordecai replied; hearing the noise.
"C'mon man, we should check it out."
"No way dude," Mordecai argued. "We'll just get in trouble again. Wait. What's that?"
They both could see something slightly shimmering in the silver moonlight. The duo took a look toward the house in the distance before slowly making their way into the woods. After a few moments they reached the object to find it was an old soda can. Picking it up, Mordecai soon turned his attention around the woods; shocked at how much trash was around.
"Man, this place is full of junk." He said.
"Hmph. Hmph." Rigby smirked; nodding and crossing his arms.
"C'mon dude, this still counts as being part of the park."
"Aw man." Rigby groaned. "Well, you were the one who wanted to check out the woods."
"STOP TALKING!" Rigby shouted and was rewarded by a punch in the arm by Mordecai; causing him to cry out in pain.
"Dude! you wanna wake up the whole city?" Mordecai hissed angrily. "Now, c'mon. We've got a job to do."
Without another word to be said, the two friends began at work once again. Making their way deeper into the woods, the duo continued picking up the trash on the ground; much of which being old soda cans, pieces of paper, and small pieces of metal.
"God! What do people do in these woods?" Mordecai asked exasperated by all the junk.
"Dude, I don't know, but Benson better give us some appreciation for what we're doing." Rigby replied.
A sudden noise soon caused them both to stop. They gazed around at their surroundings a light mist had already began to form and was slowly becoming thicker. Night had long passed settled in the sky. There were no stars; but a full, golden moon hung low in the sky, casting indistinct shadows amongst the trees around them. The trees creaked eerily as another ghostly wind rushed through their many leafless branches. They could feel a presence within the darkness around them. Mordecai and Rigby stood perfectly still. A sudden blood-curdling snarl caused them both to jump in surprise and shock.
"Okay dude, I think we should get outta here." Mordecai said; taking a fearful step back. Another blood-curdling snarl echoed through the air; this time closer than before.
"Yeah, good idea." Rigby replied before another growl echoed through the trees.
Now in a panic, the duo turned and fled through the trees as fear began to take over. They could hear their pursuer close behind. Mordecai and Rigby ran as fast they could go, trying their best to avoid the fallen timber along the path. As they were running, Mordecai's foot suddenly caught on one of the tree's roots, causing him to trip and fall; landing roughly on the ground; in a pile of brown and rotting leaves on the surprisingly hard ground.
Mordecai grimaced as the taste of decaying plants reached his tongue. Spitting the leaves out in disgust, Mordecai was soon beginning to feel nauseated. He shook his head to rid the dizziness and soon stood up. He looked around to see nothing but trees around him. The fog had somewhat lifted and old left slight traces of it behind. Mordecai felt a chill run down his spine as a ghostly breeze brushed past him. He glanced around frantically.
"Rigby?" He called. Just then, another noise filled the air. Mordecai stood perfectly still. There was a sudden rush of wind nearby; causing him to turn in that direction.
"C'mon, dude! This isn't funny!"
When he heard something from behind him; Mordecai froze. Standing perfectly still at first, he soon slowly began to turn his head. There was a sudden blood-curdling scream; which echoed through the air; startling many of the birds that had been perched upon the branches of the trees.
