Finally, another entry for this wretched journal.
Walking down a dirt road, it was in the middle of the woods, pine trees surrounded me, and the winter air felt sweet to breathe. I was in normal clothes: cream colored skull hoodie, steel toed boots, black carpenter pants, but I carried a traditional travelers back pack. Night was descending upon me and I was growing tired. I needed to find somewhere to sleep. There was a sound. As I looked back I saw a indistinguishable figure dart across the road. It moved inhumanly fast and made a unholy sound that could be heard from a distance. I ran into the woods, it was even darker in there, I hoped that it couldn't see within the dark. More than likely it could but there was always hope. And that hope was not to be found for I had seen its eyes glow within the dark forest. With this knowledge I did perhaps the most hazardous thing in a survival situation, I climbed a tree. Now I was isolated from any other escape route and more prone to a fatal accident. I climbed all the way to the top. The unholy noise could still be heard, but it was getting louder as the creature was getting closer. I looked down and saw the glowing eyes, they were bright within the night. The noise was louder than ever while stareing I felt a sense of vertigo take over, everything was beginning to shake and shudder, I held fast to the tree trunk. Eventually I blacked out. I found myself awake and shivering with the winter dawn. Everything was in a blue tinted light and the unknown creature was nowhere to be found. I simply climbed down from my perch, slowly. My hands were shaking violently as I made my way downward, I nearly fell off three times while descending the tree. I felt the ground beneath my feet once more and used all my willpower within my body not to throw myself to the ground and kiss it. Sides, I had more pressing manners to attend to. Like finding the road again. I had no idea which direction I could go, all traces of my footsteps are gone from the passing night. I walked in one direction, then another, then another, another, and another. The sun was high now, about noon, I though I may have to stay another night out in these eerie woods but then I found, just as sudden as the thought popped into my head so did a road. A paved road at that. Now which way to go? Left or right?.... Right. Why? I don't know why, it just felt the right way. I continued to walk. Eventually the sun was setting, twilight was amongst me. There was a gas station on the side of the road. A new black 4x4 was parked outside. As I walked in there was a guy in a nice expensive suit on a cellphone and a girl wearing a striped zip up hoodie, and black back pack, looking at some fruit in the refrigderated area of the station. She looked very familiar. She was looking for money desperately within her pockets. I paid no mine to them, I needed food and I had a decent amount of cash. I bought some jones soda (they also had a new vodka flavored soda, had to try that.), some junk food, and for a strange reason 3 peices of fruit. The girl walked over to the guy, still talking on his cellphone. She gave a few tugs on his jacket, but he only pushed her away. She then looked down and walked out of the station. I sigh, the chick was more than likely going to get in some sort of trouble, I quickly shoved the food in my back pack and walked out after her. Once I was in the parking lot I looked around frantically. I found her walking down the side of the road, away from where I stood, I ran towards her.
Me: Hey! HEY!! Wait up!
Girl: Hmm?
She stopped and stood there, looking at me with confusion plastered on her face. Nearly falling into her, I stopped, caught my breath, and handed her an apple.
Me: I, I kinda noticed that you were trying to buy some fruit while you were in the gas station.
Girl: Thanks.... (she stood there staring at me for a moment.) Hey arnt you _____? From Helena High?
Shocked I replied.
Me: Do I know you?
Girl: You don't remember me? I'm Danielle, you were a sophmore when I was a freshmen. We talked about spirits, religion, and such. We were also in debate class together, your nickname was Deltron 30 30, remember?
Me: OH!
Danielle: Yeah!
I gave her a hug. Wecontinued to walk.
Me: How've you been Danny?
Danielle: I've been... Well, okay. But what about you, where have you been? You just kind of fell off the face of the Earth. We couldn't find you at your house, at school, at the Main News shop, nowhere... Alot of the students thought you were dead.
But in a way I was dead. I died a long time ago, I was no longer who I once was. I was something.... Worst.
Me: I just had to go, I had some things to take care of.
Danielle: Like what?
Me: Nothing.
Danielle: You know you can tell me anything.
Me: Don't worry about it. So whose that guy you were with at the gas station? Your dad?
Danielle: Ah, eh heh heh... Thats my boyfriend...
Me: Wait, what!? That guy is like, 50 years old!
Danielle:He's 48, remember, I like older men. Sides, he isn't who he used to be, he doesn't even care about me anymore. With him its work, work, work. Thats what I like about you ______, your always stay the same.
We continued to walk and talk for quite some time. She is now a senior and is about to graduate. We caught up on major events that happened and overall it seems like my old life is all the same in some aspects.
Me: Seems like I've missed alot.
Danielle: Oh thats nothing, remember that one gir---
She shivered.
Me: You must be freezeing, here take my hoodie, it's heavier.
Danielle: No.
Me: Yes...
Danielle: No...
After repeating yes and no's for about an hour, she caved and accepted the cream colored hoodie.
Danielle: But you'll have to wear spontaneus.
Me: Spontaneus?
Danielle: My striped hoodie. I dont want you to get a cold.
We exchanged are hoodies as a car came up on the side. A nice one at that. I would tell you what kind but I really dont know. There were three young girls in it.
Girl #1: Hey Danielle! Hows it going?
Danielle: Good, what are you doing?
Girl #2: To a party at Brad's house. Do you want to come?
Danielle: Wellll....
Girl #3: Oh come on! Its going to be awesome!!!
Me: Go on ahead.
Danielle looked at me.
Danielle: Are you sure?
Me: As sure as can be. Have fun. We'll see each other again.
Danielle: Promise to be at my graduation?
Me: I promise.
Danielle:... Ok
She got in the car and waved good bye, the car sped off into the descending night. I walked alone. Night now enveloped the area, the snow began to fall. Nothing could be seen, I walked through the dark, on the road. I was blind but then I saw light. I looked forward but there was no light ahead, only the night. As I turned I saw the light. It blinded me, but what kind of vehicle was it? A black 4x4? But there wasn't time to recognize, I raised my arms as the vehicle smashed into me. I felt the bones break, the chest, the arms, all that had an impact from the hit. I flew, at least I thought I flew, but it felt like I was suspended in mid air. Another smash. I hit something and it also went through me. I opened my eyes and saw something indeed that had pierced through my body. Broken tree limbs. One through my stomach, another the right half of my chest and the last one through my left shoulder. I even touched the one protruding through my stomach. Then I blacked out. I then saw a room, and there was Danielle. Sitting on her bed. Crying, holding onto my hoodie, and simply crying. As it felt like I was leaveing the dream, being pulled out I saw Spontaneus. With the three holes, tattered, and covered in my blood.
The End.
