chapter 7: accident
AN: I was going to wait a big to post this chapter, but I need to catch up on updating. Enjoy...
Christine's POV
I was to busy drooling over rod to pay attention to the road, the next thing I know, I hear VJ scream.
"CHRIS! LOOK OUT!" VJ screamed, snapping me out of my daze.
"Hua...AHHHHHHHHH...!" I swerved, the car skid sideways into a tree, in a small ditch on the side of the road. Only my window shattered.
"Uuuuuuuu..." I moaned, lifting up my head,..." I..Is... ...everyone...alright?" I asked, and quickly turned off the car.
"I'm fine." Finn said, " I...just cut myself on something sharp. No big deal."
"I'm fine too. I think." Holley answered.
"How about you Sid?" I asked.
"Me? I'm peachy. Just...peachy." He answered a bit angry.
I looked over at rod, " you ok?" I asked, no answer. "R...Rod?" I asked, poking his shoulder.
He jumped up, " blaaaaaaaaaa,! " he yelled.
"AGGGGGGGGGG!" I screamed, then slugged him in the arm, " don't do that!" He just chuckled, I rolled my eyes playfully and smiled slightly. I looked in the rearview mirror, "you ok back there love birds?" I chuckled a bit, despite our situation.
"Fine!" VJ yelled, " how about you Leland?" She asked. Leland didn't answer. "CPR!" VJ yelled, kissing him, Leland jolted up.
"Ugggg...what happened?" He asked.
Everyone looked at me, I blushed a bit, trying to hide my face, and shame behind my hair, " I...crashed. I...I'm sorry."
"Wait...! Why?" finn asked.
"I...just ask VJ. She saw it, not me obviously." I crossed my arms, " wait! What did you see?"
"T...that!" She pointed out of her back window, on the passenger side.
For there, in the middle of the highway, was a white pick-up truck. It looked like it had been there for a while because there was rust on its doors,The windows were broken, the chassis looked burnt and was charred black, and glass was scattered around the truck. I sneered, " who in the hell would park in the middle of a...h...h...highway." I stuttered in fear.
"W...what is it?" VJ asked, picking up on my fear.
"T...there are no...t...travelers on this highway." I said.
"So." Sid said.
"So...isn't that...you know...odd?" I asked, everyone shrugged. "L...lets get out and look at the damage." I said quickly, " rod...can you help me out with fixing and pushing the car out of the ditch?" I asked.
"I...can try." He replied.
"Cool. Now...everyone out." I said.
A minute later, we were all out of the van. The damage wasn't that bad. The frame and wheel well needed to be pulled out in order for the van to drive.
"So...that's it?" Rod asked, "just pull that out and we can go?"
"Yup. Simple enough." I shrugged, rod looked at me weird, I sighed, " I like auto mechanics ok.." I blushed, " now...lets just fix this." I looked around quickly.
"What is it?" VJ asked.
"This...just doesn't feel right. I feel...like we're being...watched." I shivered, " something's not right."
"Oh please." Finn scoffed, " I will be right back, I have to use the bathroom." Me, VJ, and Holley look at one another, " TMI Finn." VJ said.
My eyes swelled with fear, " WAIT! Your not going alone! Take Leland and Sid with you and..." I swiftly looked around, " watch your back. I know something's wrong with this place." The three boys went Into the woods, rod stayed with me, and we walked over to the white pick-up truck.
"This thing is...well...it's old!" I exclaimed, "and burnt!.." I opened its drivers door. I screamed and clung to rod as a bloody, old, smelly, rotten, dead mans corps fell from the truck. I buried my face into Rod's chest as he hugged me.
"It's ok." He said, I looked up at him.
He smiled, I chuckled awkwardly, " sorry. I...just didn't expect a dead body to...!" Realization hit me,"We gotta get out of here.!"
I said, pulling away from rod, running back to the van, " OR WE COULD BE NEXT!" I yelled behind me to him.
Rod followed me, and we both went to fix the van. " ok,...PULL...!" I strained, " ...come...on!" We had been at this for five minutes.
"I don't think it's gonna budge." Rod frowned.
"Oh yes...it...is...ugggg..." The fender popped out with a tremendous thud, and I landed hard on my but, " Fuck!.. ...ouch..."
"Here...let me help you." Rod reached his hand down toward me, I looked up at him. 'Oh...oh those eyes...NO!' I mentally slapped myself.
I grabbed his hand, " thanks." I said.
"No problem. Looks like you fixed the car. now...how do we get it out of the ditch?" Rod asked.
I smirked, " easy. We all push it. I'll be in front on the drivers side, you on the passenger side, and the rest behind." I suggested.
"Actually...that's not a bad idea." Rod smiled.
"AGGGGGGG...IT'S STALKER SIDDLEY." Sid screamed, running out of the woods waving his hands frantically. Finn and Leland ran quickly behind him, the same frightened expressions apon their faces.
"Calm down! What happened?!" I asked.
"W...we...s...saw..." Leland panted, "s...*pant*...something...in...*pant*..."
"...the...woods!" Finn finished.
"What was in the woods now?" VJ asked.
"Never mind that! Lets just get the hell out of here." I panicked, " everyone, help me push the car out of the ditch. VJ, Sid, Holley, leland, and Finn, you get behind the car and push it. Rod and I will pull it from the front sides. Got it...go!" I almost yelled.
"There is no way I'm g..." Finn started, I cut him off.
"NO ARGUING DAMMIT. JUST FUCKING DO IT!" I yelled, "NOW!" Finn said nothing, and we all got into our positions, " PUSH!" I yelled, we all pushed, " HARDER!" I said then blushed. 'I had to use that word' I thought mentally. The car creaked and groaned, but rolled back up onto the road. We all breathed in a few heavy breaths, and sighed in relief.
"Only one thing left to do." I said.
"And what would that be?" VJ asked.
"Like dua! Make sure nothing happened to the fuel or break lines. Don't have any fluids leaking, or any damaged parts." I said, matter of fact. Everyone starred at me speechlessly, " it's basic auto mechanics. Come on!" I sighed, " just...give me a second." I quickly crawled under the car, " alright so...the fuel is fine. So's the break. And...well...nothing's leaking. We're good to go." I shimmed out from under the car with a thumbs up.
Just them, leaves started rustling and VJ screamed, " I SAW SOMETHING! I SAW SOMETHING!" She freaked.
"IT'S STALKER SIDDLEY!" Sid screamed.
"What's that?" VJ asked. "Just...get in. We're leaving..." I got in the drives seat, and the engine started without problem.
"I'll tell you later." Sid told her.
Everyone piled in, VJ suddenly spoke up.." C...C...Chris..?!" VJ panicked.
"W..what?" I asked, afraid to know the answer.
"WHAT HE HELL IS THAT!?" VJ screamed, pointing at something walking out of the woods. This..'creature'...was ugly...old...and, " ...IT HAS A KNIFE!" VJ yelled, " STEP ON IT!" I obeyed without argument, flung the car in a 180, and flew back the way we came.
"I don't know what the hell that thing was...but...is everyone ok?" I asked.
"Yes. but We won't be if you drive." Finn sneared.
"Oh...shut up. I...have a good reason for being distracted." I blushed.
"Mmm hmmmm..." VJ smiled.
"Can it VJ!" I glared at her In the mirror.
"Well...what's the reason?" Rod asked me.
"Uuuummmmm..." I stuttered. 'Awww crap!' I mentally face palmed myself. "I...never mind. I...don't wanna talk about it." I blushed, my face almost completely red.
"Aw come on. You can tell us." Rod smiled.
I swear he knew it was him that was distracting me, " no...I really can't..." I laughed awkwardly.
"Yeah Chris.! Why don't you tell rod what's distracting you." VJ said, then fell on the floor of the van, laughing Insanely.
I growled quietly, " can I just...aggggggg..." I pulled over the car with a swerve, VJ stopped laughing instantly. I turned back to look at Finn and VJ both, " VJ..." I scolded, she gulped, " look...just...stop. Please." She nodded. I turned to Finn, " and you...if you don't want me to drive, then you can drive. So...kindly shut up." Finn sat quietly, then gave me a serious look.
"Young lady. How dare you speak to me that way. Your 16 and I'm an adult." He scolded me back.
I put my hands on my head, " look...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go all angry spazzy on you, but...I get that way sometimes. If I say stop it.., stop ." I sighed.
"I..I'm sorry Chris. I...shouldn't have gone over the deep end like that." VJ frowned.
"I'm sorry too." Finn said randomly.
"Alright then. Lets get out of..."I went to start the car, it wouldn't start, "...what!? Bbbb...but that's impossible." I gasped.
"Wait? The car won't start?" VJ asked.
I saw steam coming out slightly from under the hood, " Nope..." I sighed, " stay in the car." I informed the others and hit the switch to pop the hood, "Rod...you...with me." I said.
We both got out and walked to the front of the car, " alrighty...lets see what we have here." I opened the hood only to get a face full of steam and smoke, I coughed and swatted at the smoke. "Blllaaaa.. ... What the hell? How...agggggggg..." I groaned.
"What's wrong?" Rod asked.
I looked at the engine, "the damn radiator overheated" I sighed, then walked back to the broken window, " hey. Any of you have a water bottle?" I asked.
"I do. Here." VJ handed me a half full water bottle.
"Thanks." I went to leave.
"Wait?" VJ said. I stopped, "what?"
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"The radiator over heated. That's what the water is for." I informed her, then walked back to the front of the car. I filled the radiator with the water, " there. You think that will...Rod?" I asked, he wasn't standing there, "Rod!?" I asked louder, my mind went into a panic, "ROD!" I yelled, " IF THIS IS A JOKE IT'S NOT FUNNY."
VJ got out of the car, " Chris? What's wrong?" She hurried over to me.
"I..Rod...he just...I don't know where he went..he just...disappeared." I almost sobbed, then we all heard a gun shot.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" I yelled, rod came running out of the woods, firing his gun behind him.
"Ugggg..." He grunted stumbling backwards, " aggggggg..." He yelled firing his gun at the woods over and over.
"ROD?!" I ran over to him, falling on my knees. I looked over him. His blue suit was torn in places, so were his pants. His arm was bleeding, and he had a lot of prickers on him. I took my jacket off my waist and tied it around his arm.
"Oh god! What happened to you?" I looked at his sliced arm as I wrapped my jacket around it.
"That that...that thing! It...it had a knife." He said.
"It cut your arm!" I panicked.
"No..I cut it on a chain link fence when I jumped it. But..." leaves rustled, "agggggg..." He grunted again, firing his gun again.
"WOW."I said and Grabbed his gun from him, " calm down. Here...let me help you." I helped him up.
"That thing is coming back!" He shouted.
"Great. Now he's paranoid." Finn frowned.
"I AM NOT PARANOID!" Rod yelled.
"Finn, he's not paranoid. Remember, I saw it to." VJ defended rod. "Lets get far away from...h...h.." Finn stuttered.
Finns gaze passed to behind me, " ...W..What? I'm afraid to ask." I turned to look, I saw a knife glisten in the sun. "GET THE FUCK IN THE CAR!" I yelled. VJ, Finn, rod, and myself all got in, and I turned the key, " please..." I whispered, and the car roared to life, and I gunned it.
6 minutes down the road, back on the main highway, VJ said something.
"So...Sid? Who's stalker siddelay?" She asked.
Finn groaned, "not this again, "Sid...I saw it too, but...I highly doubt that's what it was."
"Wait...first off..," I turned to look slightly at rod, " why did you go into the woods in the first place?" I asked him, " and second..." I turned to Sid, " Sid...who is this stalker siddelay?. Rod...you answer first."
"Actually...that's simple. I heard leaves rustling, and I thought I saw a person. So naturally, I walked into the woods to see." He explained.
"And exactly what did you see?" I asked.
"A ...creature.. Actually two,..with knifes. They...chased me, so I opened fire." He answered, and grunted, " damn fence." He muttered, clutching his bloody forearm.
I grimaced and sighed, " your turn Sid. Tell me and VJ who stalker siddelay is."
"Well...he's like my twin or shadow, but...evil. He's immortal, and He wants to kill me, and anyone else I hang out with." Sid said nervously.
"Great.." I said sarcastically, " someone else who wants to kill us..! Anyone else wanna kill us while there at it?" I mocked.
A bullet flew into VJ's back window, shattering it, she screamed.
"What...the..?" I looked in my drives side mirror, and there was a black SUV following us, " guys...we got company!" I said blankly.
AN: cliffy...0.0 So the part about the abandon highway they get on, and the accident they have, I pulled that out of a horror movie I saw once, called wrong turn. If you haven't seen It, there are a series of 5 of the movies, It is about cannibalistic trolls, who would make you crash, kill you, and eat you. Except we don't get caught. So...yeah. I'm sorry for all the mistakes in here, but the doc manger here on FFN is screwed up :( reviews? :3
