It was a long day driving down the Virginia roads as Cole and Catherine pulled over to the side of the road to take a break. Running a hand through her layered copper hair, Cole stepped out of the Jeep and leaned against it, taking in the lacking view of trees as Catherine rummaged through the trunk.
"What are you looking for?" Cole inquired as Catherine looked up, holing her purse and pulling out her cell phone.
"Going to give Eric a call" she stated, dialing a number and placing the phone against her ear.
"Oh, right, lover boy" Cole teased her friend who promptly rolled her eyes, queuing Cole to look around. It was evening and the air was cold since it was the middle of October. Wrapping her jacket tighter around her petit frame, Cole walked past the car a little to get away from Catherine's loving phone call to her boyfriend back in New York. Cole hated New York, it was too loud, too cramped, and too much going on. She was the one who prompted this sudden road trip with her best friend, needing to get away from life for a while. The click of a closing cell phone caused Cole to look back and see Catherine coming forward, grinning like an idiot.
"I am guessing he is ok and missing you dearly" Cole observed as Catherine nodded gleefully.
"Yeah" she responded like a twelve year old in love.
"wow, you would think he was your first boyfriend, which would be sad, since you are 23" Cole teased again, opening the front door of her car as Catherine started pleading her case, only to have Cole shush her mid-sentence and mid-opening her door. Something felt wrong to Cole as she looked around.
It was a prickle up the spine, a gut feeling; that suddenly something was very wrong, frowning she looked around again. Multicolored leaves traveled the ground in a silent wind. Stepping away from the car Cole looked up and down the road.
"What is it?" Catherine asked, frowning worriedly, still gripping her cell phone.
"I don't know" Cole answered, going back to the car and opening in the door, sitting back in as Catherine followed suite.
"You have a weird look on your face" she observed, as the car started.
"Just got a strange feeling that's all" Cole paused thinking for a moment "it's nothing"
Revving the engine, Cole started the Jeep forward down the long strip on road. Trees lined both sides, as the sky grew darker. Catherine fiddled with her phone, texting every few seconds as Cole turned the radio on, looking in the review mirror from time to time.
"Ok Cole, what is it?" Catherine stopped her texting to look at her friend worriedly, brushing her multi colored hair from her face, the brown, red and blond streaks looked purple and blue from the cell phone light as she watched her friend's face.
"it is nothing, just getting a little paranoid" she muttered, going forward to turn up the volume on the radio, only to have the Beatles be replaced with excessive static that pricked into the brain, causing Catherine to cover her ears.
"What the hell! Change the station Cole!" Catherine shouted as the frequency of the static got higher and higher, getting more and more painful to listen to. It sounded like a thousand nails running down a chalk board as Cole changed stations, played with the volume and pounded the on-off switch.
"It's not turning off!" she shouted, hitting it again and playing with the volume. Suddenly it stopped. Just stopped, causing Cole's had to freeze in a hover in front of the radio and stare as Catherine breathed heavily.
"What the…what was that!?" she asked as Cole clicked the on-off switch and fingered the volume and station knob. Nothing came from the radio. Dropping her hand, Cole rubbed her temples and looked out the windshield and frowned.
The headlights were flickering, and from what Cole figured, that was not normal. Turning Cole looked at the back window to see the rear lights flickering red. Breathing Cole went to the keys to start the car, only to be met with it constantly refusing to start.
"Damnit" Cole muttered, trying again as Catherine watched.
"Maybe we should call a towing company" She suggested, to which Cole nodded, letting go of the keys and settling back into her chair.
"I can't see anything with those lights flickering" she muttered as Catherine raised the cell phone higher and then lower, then placing it against her ear.
"What are you doing?" Cole asked.
"No reception" Catherine whispered in an irritated voice.
"I thought you had a magical phone that got reception anywhere and everywhere" Cole muttered, squinting out the window.
"It is not a magical phone, it is called a satellite phone, and yeah, no reception, I have been hoodwinked" Catherine muttered, shutting the phone "reception anywhere my butt"
Cole laughed a little, more nervous laugher then funny, feeling more and more paranoid. Looking out the windshield Cole tried to see anything in the flicking light but got nothing.
"I am going outside, maybe I'll get reception out there" Catherine said, fed up, opening the door and closed it before Cole could say anything. Watching Catherine's silhouette in the lights, Cole rummaged through her purse in the back and got out her cell and checked her reception. Nothing. Shutting it she put it in her pocket, only to look up at the sound of a blood curling scream and the lights not flashing but turned off completely.
"Catherine?" Cole called silently, freezing in place as outside it was pitch black, and the only noise that she could hear was her own heavy breathing. Biting her lip she opened the glove compartment and took out a flash light and held it against herself and took a deep breath. Slowly she opened the door and turned on the flashlight.
"Catherine?" she whispered, scared to disturb anyone that might be around. Trailing the road and surrounding woods with her flashlight, Cole stepped a little from the car and looked around. A wind was gently blowing through the trees as she walked around the car.
"Catherine?" She called a little louder and froze, seeing a bush rustle nearby. Her eyes watched the bush, keeping the flashlight on it until a rabbit popped out of the bushes, causing Cole to breathe out a sigh of relief, only to stop with the feeling of a cold breath on the back of her neck.
"Catherine?" she whispered, knowing very well that it was not her friend from the tight, sick feeling in her stomach, and the prickling feeling in her spine. Not wanting to, but needing to, Cole turned around and screamed.
After the Jeep lights turned back on revealing nothing but leaves and trees.
Please review peeps! Cheers
