A Walk Into The Dark

CHAPTER 1

I took my phone and keys to my house and put it in my bag as i start to go to the front door.
I started to walking through the streets at exactly 2am in the night, in the so called 'Demon hour.' It didn't really scare me at all, i usually do this when i couldn't sleep.

I decided to go to Mcdonalds like i always do every time i walk.

My friends think that walking through dark places at demonic hours is dumb and very  dangerous. I won't lie it is very dumb and dangerous but i can't sleep easly as others so taking walks through the night helped me pass time. I'm still alive whats so different with tonight than any other?

I'm always walking through the same streets and walk paths so i decided to walk thhrough the darker area around the corner of my street.

I thought it would take me to Mcdonald faster but it took twice as long but Mcdonald is worth each step.

As i walked through the dark little hall between the houses.
I felt like someone was watching me as i take a step, i felt like they got closer i turned around to see if anyone was really there but no one was at sight. I turned around deciding it was nothing but i felt like someone was really watching me. I started to get paranoid i started to walk faster and faster, once i finally saw bright lights surrounding me i felt safer somehow.

I decided to search where the nearest Mcdonald is, only because i was getting kinda lost trying to get away from the feeling of being followed. The GPS said that the nearest Mcdonald was not too far. I put on some music trying to get my mind off the situation that i was in when suddenly i got a text from my sister Jane, she texted me asking where i was.

-------------------------------
Jane: Where are you rn?!

Y/n: Walking to McDonald's. Why?

Jane: Get home now didn't you watch the news?!

Y/n: No what's wrong?

Jane: Let me think... There's a serial killer walking killing people around near where we live!

Y/n: Stop talking nonsense, im gonna go get some McDonald's burger and fries and I'll come home before 3 and maybe I'll even buy you some too. Okay? 

Jane: If you die don't go haunting me!  You better <3
---------------------------------

I looked at her text before closing my phone and deciding she was just talking nonsense.

I was thinking about it as i got closer to McDonald's maybe the feeling of being watched was the killer that was near my area but it could also be a stray cat following me for some McDonald burger either way i kept walking.

I saw the bright light showing a BIG M sign and knew it was obviously McDonald's sign. I was right i walked through the front door but as i did i saw no one but one man about his late 30's, who was standing in the cashier's spot and another outside the parking spot just watching what seemed like, Me?.

"Um... hello," i said while tapping on the counter.

"You shouldn't be here," the man said looking everywhere but me.

"Why not?" I asked trying to get his attention since he wasn't looking at me but instead behind me.

"Are y-you crazy there's a killer near h-here," the man was whispering and stuttering why talking. I could tell her was serious by his actions.

"What are you looking at?" I asked looking behind me wondering what was so interesting that he kept checking.

"Him. Im looking at the man with the bag," he said as his voice started to crack with each word he said.

"Call the police?!" I said as i saw the man with the bag looking towards the man and i.

The man gave me the keys to lock up the doors making sure the other man doesn't get inside. He had told me to keep an eye on the man in case he might do something to us. Possibly murder us.

I had forgotten that i had my pocket knife, so i took it out of my pocket as soon as i finished locking the doors. I wanted to make sure i was safe even though it probably couldn't help me much. I just like the feeling of being protected.

Moments later the man came back.

"I-i called them, they'll be here in 10 minutes," the man said still looking through the window.

"What do we do now? Why is there a random man standing with a bag watching us??" I was too confused on what was happening that i forgot about the man it self outside.

"Where's is he now??" The man asked me. I couldn't reply but simply looked be hind me in shock knowing that i had one job and i failed.

"Im so sorry i-i was scared when the man watched me with moving," i say. It was hard to see when hot tears were blocking my sight.

"Do you hear thay?" The man asked me.

"What?" I say wiping my tears off my eyes and cheeks.

"Shh... " the man put his finger on his lips signaling for me to be quiet.
