Terror Falls 2-chapter 2
Raven tries to open the door-but the latch inside is broken and strong mesh wire separates her from the guy and the other doors.
"I don't know how you two got away girly-but you're going right back so they can finish the job."
Raven starts to speak but is stopped as she is wracked with sharp stabbing pains. She cries out in agony as the guy rounds a sharp curve and she is thrown against the side of the van.
"Cut the diva act. I aint falling for it."
She breaths sharply trying to catch her breath only to end up screaming from another wave of agonizing pain. It feels to her like its happening all over again with the monster. Another scream but of sheer terror escapes her this time as she realizes what is happening.
The guy glances toward the back of the van. That can't be acting. Something really must be wrong with the girl. It sounds like she's being murdered. "Hey girly-you okay back there?"
After one more deafening scream raven collapses and falls silent.
The sudden silence after all that screaming is very unnerving. The guy speeds on a little farther but he doesn't even hear the girl breathing anymore. "Girly?" Even if he lures the other guy back he is going to be in deep shit or belly or the beast if this girl dies on him. He brings the van to a screeching halt and jumps out. "You better not be faking to try some ambush and escape on me. Alls I gotta do is bring you back alive-they didn't say nothing about what condition you gotta be in." He pulls out a pistol intending to make her think twice if she decides to try something as he pulls the door open but its eerily quiet. He looks in to see her unmoving-slumped against the door that is still closed. Reaching in he grabs her shoulder and shakes her. "Girly?"
A shaft of moonlight pokes through the fleeing storm clouds and illuminates Raven. Her blood soaked pants are torn open at the crotch.
"What in the hell?" A low growl from inside the van catches the guys attention. As he leans in peering into the darkness for glowing red eyes suddenly appear. The guy staggers back as all goes dark when something clamps onto his head. He blindly shoots his pistol into the air several times as he flails around screaming while sharp teeth clamp down on his face bursting an eyeball. He drops the gun trying to pry the wet furry mass from his head and stumbles down into the ditch screaming.

Aqualad steps on the brakes as soon as he spots the van stopped in the road and throws the car into park behind it. As he gets out he entertains the idea that maybe he over-reacted and the guy at the gas station was just some pervert waiting for an unsuspecting girl to come along and rape her. He never should have left Raven alone. He rushes over to her when he spots her in the back of the van. There is no sign of the guy, which troubles him. Why leave her alone and chance her escaping unless he is done with her already. Aqualad's heart pounds as pulls open the door Raven is leaning against and she tumbles back seemingly lifeless into his arms. "Raven?" He stands there several agonizing seconds as she doesn't so much as draw a breath. As he takes in her torn bloody pants he shakily reaches a hand to her neck to feel for a pulse.
Raven suddenly opens her eyes gasping for breath.
"Raven!-"
"-Where is it?" She looks around wild-eyed.
"Where's what?"
"We have to get out of here now!" She struggles to get up and run-trying to pull Aqualad along with her.
Aqualad looks down at the ditch as what sounds like snapping branches catches his attention, only to see a bare arm bone tossed up on the pavement.
Raven panics trying to drag him away. "We have to go!"
The moon between the parting clouds reveals a small furry blood red creature almost like the monster but more humanoid in shape with a mouth full of razor sharp fangs.
Aqualad looks back at Raven's torn bloody clothes. She wasn't raped again as he feared-that thing came out of her. He backs away with Raven as the creature spots them.
Growling the creature makes a leap toward them.
"NO!" Raven holds her hand out and the creature bounces off her weak dark aura shield. "GO! I'm too weak to hold it for long." She cringes as the creature smacks into the shield again with a fierce angry growl.
Aqualad scoops Raven up carrying her to the car and lifting her inside before climbing in.
The small creature makes a leap for the car but misses as it backs away and falls to the pavement instead.
Raven looks back as Aqualad turns around in the road and speeds back toward the gas station.
The creature howls into the night as the full moon appears.
