A.N.- Hey guys, since ff.n is working at the present moment , I figured it would be a good time to post. I'm sorry for such a LONG delay , but if only you knew how much I've been gone lately...:( I missed you all! And now I'm back! And I even have a new chapter out! So...just shut up and read it , I suppose...
Callandra Knott brushed past the man without thinking , simply focused on her task at hand , but a few yards away she slowed her pace. He seemed vaguely familiar , like a wave of deja vu. It was another yard before she finally stopped before the foul staircase , and turned slowly. Brow furrowed , Callandra stared down the alley way of doors , a small breeze flicking a lock of brown across her face.
She pushed the hair out of her way , but it was useless. The man was gone , his door closed and light pouring out of the window.Callandra craned her neck a bit to the side , but could not see the interior of the room with the thick tweed curtains in the way. She sighed and relaxed back , shaking her head whilst she turned.
"Paranoia...always paranoia..."Callandra soothed herself and stepped down the stairs lightly , feet tapping against the cement rythmatically.
Once she finally approached her car , unlocking the doors and starting the engine flew past her quickly. No thought about any of her actions , even as she slid the small car gracefully into traffic. Or rather , no traffic , come to think of it. The road was quite deserted for such a time of night when she would think motorists would be frequenting it...But yet Callandra brushed the thought away and reached down to the radio.
Turning the knob side to side in attempt to get a radio station out in what she would define as the "boonies" , Callandra emitted a small,almost annoyed growl as she realised what she had been doing , and flipped the tiny switch from "am" to "fm"
"Bloody mind..." she murmered to herself out of high strung annoyance and gently focused the car's systems to some rock station that appeared clear enough.
Sitting back now , hands relaxed upon the vinyl steering wheel before her , Callandra breathed a sigh of relief as the motel's orange lights dissapeared from view behind her , leaving only the faint glow of her headlights and the bright moon above her to illuminate her face softly. The faint twilight caused by these elements only added intense drama to her expresion -- bent and twisted into worry , concern , and intense emotional foreplay. This day for her...
"Hell." she cursed softly , almost in perfect tune with her thoughts as one single drop of water fell upon the windshield , soon followed by other small , timely drops. Slow.
Glaring at the impending drops , Callandra glanced towards the sky which she had never noticed to be so dark on this eve , the moon slowly drifting from view. In her absent mindedness she had never noticed the wind and temperature drop...Curses following her actions , of course , she now went about finding a radio station to tell her the weather forecast , stopping once she reached a destination.
"Speak to me , tell me what's going on." Callandra crooned to the radio , and listened intently as a computerized , stiff and robotic voice came over , a man's that made the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.
"...The National Weather service in Fayette County New York have detected a severe thunderstorm warning for...Fayette County and vincity. Large hail three inches in diameter. Dangerous lightning. Wind gusts of 70 MPH..."
At this statement , Callandra took a moment to curse her agreement as the car rocked back towards the other lane only slightly in the gust , slowly gaining control once more.
"...Stay indoors. If outdoors seek shelter immediately. Aviation alerts..."
"Fine , fine , I've heard." She muttered , flipping the radio off as the rain on the windshield slowly increased , her visibility level rather decreasing. Callandra sighed again and her hazel eyes began to search over the country road before her , looking for a way off. A tiny county road at her side wa visible , but she saw that it was indeed gravel and while in consideration she passed it by.
"Bloody Hell." Callandra cursed once more , stating her favourite words for the evening in one glorious display , pounding her palms against the top of the steering wheel. Not a good choice of words , she soon realised , as the elements took this moment to increase in strength and torment , the car rocking sideways slowly as though it threatened to rock right off of the road.
"Here's me thinking a little light 'chic' car's going to do the job...Brilliant weather."
These words followed by other odd ramblings , she glanced towards the impending sky through the dripping windows of her car and with a frown slowly eased the glass down via the power button. Rain flying in towards her face , she focused her eyes on the roadand drove one handed while she stuck the other out to feel the temperature. Cold, very cold , big leap from the heat they had had earlier. Which simply meant...
But her thought never finished. Hurling her hand's back up against the car's window , a massive gust of wind hit the car now , spinning them out of control. It swerved to the side , and down the ditch , her foot on the accellerator doubled with the wind at the back , threatening to flip them over backwards.
"Shit , shit , shit!" she cursed loudly , wide eyed and worried as she gripped the steering wheel firmly and attempted to pull the car into control as it entered a neighbouring corn field. Slamming her foot down onto the break repeatedly , she tried to slow the car as corn stalks flew at her windshield , at her sides , debri flying from the window into her hair as though to emphasize the awaiting crash. It appeared to be a scene straight out of a television show , or a novel of some sort , though she didn't have time to ponder as suddenly the corn opened up.
"Oh thank god...please lord..." she just had time to murmer before she gasped and a slight scream escaped her lips futily. It was a dried river bed that she flew into now , a large tree looming before her in the headlights like a villian. The horrific vampire at the end of every horror movie. It's branches extended out like great fingers , beconing the small rental to come forth. Hands lashing away from the steering wheel , she curled her head down towards her knees and flew her arms over her head in one last effort for safety , around her and over her head branches flying through the windshield.
Showers of glass around her , they covered the seats and woman with crystal , glittering in the flashes of lightening over head. And soon as it all had happenned , thing fell still once more within the tiny car. The headlights glared out into the rain , seeking out the help of an invisible someone , while rain began to fall into the car's now exposed windshield , the muffled sobs slowly dying with it's pour...
A.N.- Hmm...It took me so long to write that...Well , tell me what you think about it. This chapter may be temporary , I assure you , if you don't like it or think it was poorly written , tell me , I won't hesitate to re write it.
Always eager for your comments,
