To fear is one thing. To let fear grab you by the tail and swing you around is another. - Katherine Paterson
"But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, and so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, that I scarce was sure I heard you" - - The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe.
The parking lot was empty. Jean Grey walked out of the Bayville shopping center and headed towards her silver SUV. The sky was starting to take on an orange hue; the sun would start to set soon. Jean checked her watch: 8:22. She reached her car and began to unlock the door when she heard someone shout. Looking up she saw a man in a brown overcoat walking quickly towards her. Terrified she quickly got in the car and started the ignition. The man started running as Jean took off.
The panic wore off as she reached the stoplight. Adjusting the rear view mirror she saw a car pull up behind her. The driver was waving his hands frantically. It appeared to be the man from the parking lot. Unnerved but not panicked, she waited for the light to turn green and the proceeded to head for the x-mansion.
Suddenly there was a bright flash of light. Looking checking her mirror she noticed that the car behind her was flashing its high beams on and off. Jean switched lanes but the car behind her did the same. Gripping the steering wheel tight, she sped up as much as she could without going over the speed limit. The car behind her sped up as well, all the while flashing its high beams on and off.
Jean tried not to panic but found it hard not to. She was suddenly flooded with relief as she approached the x-mansion. She swerved into the driveway, the car directly behind her.
Logan, who was coming in from working on his motorcycle, noticed the cars. Jean stopped the car, got out, and ran towards Logan. The driver in the other car got out as well and shouted, "Lady, there's someone hiding in your back seat!"
