Chapter 5-The Forest by the Road
Rachel and Aiden drove in silence, their hearts pounding. 'Oh my God,' Rachel thought, pushing her hair behind her ear. 'Is this really happening to me?' She noticed rain drops appearing on the windshield. "It's raining?" she asked herself.
Rachel glanced out the window; there were dark clouds appearing all around the sky. There were more, and the sky appeared to get swallowed by darkness. Rachel switched on the windshield wiper as it began to rain even harder.
Rachel looked up at the sky once more; it was covered with so many dark clouds, that it looked like night. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, lighting up the clouds and the inside of the car. "Shit," she whispered, as she swerved. She pulled back into her lane and slowed down.
"Aiden, are you okay?"
"Yes Mom," he replied, his eyes wide. "I'm okay."
Rachel nodded and turned her eyes back to the road. All of a sudden, a bolt of lightning struck, just feet away from the car. Rachel gasped, and swerved again....straight into a ditch. She hit her head on the steering wheel and immediately found darkness....
Rachel slowly opened her eyes and looked over at the passenger's seat; it was empty. "Oh my God," she moaned, before opening her door and dashing over to the other side of the car. "Aiden?!" she cried, throwing open the passenger side door. "Aiden?!" she cried again, bursting into tears. "NO! Samara, NO!" She laid on the ground and sobbed.
"Mom?"
Rachel stopped sobbing and looked up. Aiden was standing over her. "Oh, Aiden!" she gasped, embracing him tightly. "I thought you were gone!"
"Mom," he said again. "I think I should show you something." He took her hand and pulled her to her feet.
As he led her away from the car, Rachel looked around; the sky had cleared up and she saw that she had crashed into a tree near a forest. Aiden was leading her into the forest. "Honey, where are we going?" she asked, looking around nervously.
"You'll see," Aiden replied, no emotion in his voice.
Rachel let him lead her deeper and deeper into the forest, until they reached a valley. "Wow," said Rachel, amazed. The valley was beautiful; it was a perfect shade of green, and there were flowers blossoming everywhere. Rachel continued to look around the valley. "Is this what you wanted to show me?" she asked.
"No." He took her hand again and began leading her across the valley. "Mom, I want this to be a surprise, so, close your eyes."
"Umm, okay," she replied, closing her eyes. She felt the grip on her hand tighten, and Aiden continued to lead her somewhere, until she felt him stop.
"You can open your eyes now, Mom."
Rachel slowly open her eyes....and screamed. Directly in front of her was a well. "A-Aiden, w-we have to-to go, N-NOW!" She tried to pull him away, but his grip was too strong.
"No, Rachel. We can't leave." He looked at her; his eyes were filled with evil. "She wants us here."
Rachel gasped. "GET OUT OF HIS HEAD, SAMARA!" she screamed, trying to take her hand back. Aiden held on tight. Rachel looked back at the well; a hand appeared. Rachel screamed again. "NO! AIDEN! WE HAVE TO GET AWAY!"
"No!" Rachel saw another hand appear. She looked at the ground and saw a large rock. She quickly leaned down and grabbed it. Then, squeezing her eyes shut, she lifted the rock up, and brought it down on her son's head, knocking him unconscious. As she opened her eyes, she saw Aiden laying on the ground, his head bleeding, and hair beginning to appear from the well. She scooped up Aiden and began running. As glanced back at the well; Samara was almost completely out.
Rachel didn't stop running until she reached the road. She saw a semi- truck heading towards her. She flagged the driver down. "Please, sir," she said, out of breath. "Could you take my son and I wherever you're going."
"Sure, ma'am, hop on in," he said, glancing at Aiden.
As they drove away, Rachel glanced out of the rear-view mirror and saw Samara standing in the road, getting smaller and smaller....
The driver glanced over and saw Rachel trying to wipe off the blood on Aiden's forehead. "Here, ma'am, use this," he said, handing her a tissue.
"Thank you," replied Rachel, pressing it to Aiden's forehead.
"So, what happened?"
"I-I..had some car trouble..I mean, we ran off the road. I was nearly hit by lightning!"
"Lightning? Ma'am, I think you were mistaken. I listen to the weather station all day, and there was NOTHING about a storm around here."
"Nothing? Are you sure?" asked Rachel, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, positive."
Rachel nodded, and continued to press on Aiden's forehead. She leaned down near Aiden's ear. "I'm so sorry, honey. But I HAD to get you away from her. I'm so, so sorry.." she whispered, before drifting off to sleep once more...
To be continued.....
