Chapter 1 the beginning
I ran from the bedroom to the kitchen, while they were chasing me I grabbed the knife off the counter and ran outside. I ran to the neighbors' house and I banged on the door waiting but I couldn’t wait any longer.......but we need to start from the beginning..
Hey, I’m Hazel, we were driving across the country with my mom and sister when I was 16 and my sister was 15. It was late, but we were well rested still, and alert. We were driving along an interstate and needed gas and a bathroom break, so we stopped at the only rest stop in 200 miles. There was a van full of teenagers on a road trip at the gas station, as well as a small grey car parked at the pump in front of us with two young men standing still outside of it. When we got there everything felt wrong. We’d been on the road for days and seen many rests stops at night and had never been afraid until then. My mom and sister went inside and I stayed in the car. I heard the teenagers say they were creeped out and couldn’t get the pump to work, and they left in a hurry. I was watching the car in front of us, and the two men had not moved at all. Not an inch. They weren’t talking. They weren’t on phones. They were just standing there, still as stone.
My sister and mom came running back out to the car and when they got in, the two men slowly turned to look at us while not moving or pivoting the rest of their bodies, and I swear to fucking shit, we all saw the same thing - they had eyes dark as pitch and empty. Truly empty. Not black, not reflecting any light at all, just a void of darkness......
