Chapter 3

Benji knew he’d be in deep shit, if whoever it is that found out about this were to go to the police, but he could care less about that because at the far end of the room in the darkest corner were what looked like eyes; yellow sinister eyes that shone brightly through the darkness . He stopped crying instantly, took a deep breath and careful steps back when it seemed like it was moving closer towards him at a slow pace.  His legs felt like jelly, but he kept moving backwards until he tripped on something and fell over onto his ***. That didn’t stop him from continuing though; it only urged him to get further away. So he quickly scrambled to his feet and made a wild dash for the door but that was his only mistake; never turn your back on a wild beast and run from it because its only instinct is to chase.  

Poor benji, if only he knew he could of prevented what happened next from happening. The beast pounced on him from behind and he fell face first into the concreted flooring of the factory right in front of the door. Just a little more and he would have made it to safety; is what he thought but that would have been possible if it was just a natural creature of the woods and not some beast from a myth.

Benji was sure he had a broken nose and a busted mouth when his face hit the ground and another panic attack for the third time that day when the beast flipped him over unto his back. His weak little heart was pounding so hard against his rib cage it hurt. Blue eyes stared into his eyes, so deep he swore they saw into his soul as well; they weren’t yellow anymore. He couldn’t see anything else on the beast; darkness shrouded the rest of its body. It was crouched above Benji just staring into his eyes “I finally found you”, it growled.

At this benji couldn’t keep his eyes open, he was going to faint and wasn’t about to fight it.

(*Benji)

Lizzy and I laid there on the lush green grass surrounded by darkness in a wide open field, looking into the starry sky, while the last bit of moonlight shone upon us as we held hands. This was a big step into our relationship we were about to take. So big that my body was numb from an overload of nerves and my mind was a mess. When I turned to look lizzy, she was just lying there, calm as if this didn’t bother her one bit, “and I call myself a man”, I scoffed. I was a nervous wreck and here she was lying there like this was a normal everyday life experience. Saying I was scared would be an understatement, I was downright terrified. As a last minute resort, I thought of backing out or coming up with an excuse but unfortunately for me life always had to be a bitch.

 I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn’t realise I was staring, when she suddenly turned on side to look at me, with a look in her grey eyes that I didn’t quite understand and had me shivering internally. My face and body burned with desire when I realized what the look in her eyes meant but that just made my fear increase and me realize just how much knowledge I lacked in that department. So as quickly as humanly possible, I turned my in the other direction away from her, before she could notice the obvious blush present on my face. ‘That wouldn’t be very manly of me now would it’? I have my pride as a man to keep.  

I know sweat was pouring of me like a broken pipe even though the air outside was slightly chilly. So when it tried to remove my hand from hers because it could be sweaty and kinda gross, of course it didn’t work because as I said before life’s a bitch and its out to get me. It wants me to die of embarrassment. “Um….. Lizzy would - …. Um- uh, my hand, would you let go please”, “you’re holding me….uh too tight”. Now I wanna hide in a corner, even my voice failed on me. Traitor. And what’s up with that brute strength of her.

“Sorry”, she said sitting up, not an ounce of sympathy in her voice. Her eye though looked awfully amused by my reaction or was it my pain. With a shake of my head, I turned to look at her again “you looked like you’d try to run away the moment I realised your arm”, this time she smiled when she spoke but it was more like a smirk. One that promised naughty things, as she scanned me from head to toe before releasing my hand and rising to her feet.

Sitting up, I wiped my sweaty hands on my jeans and looked up at her. She was just as beautiful as she was on the first day we met. Slim curvy body, peachy blond hair and don’t get me started on that that’s tucked snugly in those jeans. Wait why am I staring at her “hey Liz, where are you going?”  Shit, how’d she get that far without me noticing? “Wait up”, I shouted, running after her when she turned to look at me but I received no answer in return*.
