Unlucky Day

Monday 22.november 2017 in Maine.

A cold Monday to be specific, but that wasn't really something new here in Augusta.
The beautiful and completely boring
Capital.

And i had to endure here, alone.
Not that i wasn't used to it, my Parents died when i was 7, and somehow i found my way.
I don't remember much from my childhood if you can call it that, i was a little runaway Girl, i didn't want that they put me on display to "sell" me to another Family.
So i decided i had to go my own way and that's what i did.

I never regretted it, they only thing i missed was well the money, i had to deliver Pizza almost all night and day on the weekend from a disgusting delivery Service just to be able to eat the heavenly good Pancakes in the "well served Dinner" in my Town, but i would call it worth it.

I even joked sometimes about robbing a Bank, but i guess i wouldn't be able to put that one off.

I lived in a one Room apartment and i had everything i needed i guess but still not enough to go trough a Day without having to worry about what i am gonna eat and what will be left after it.

And i hated it so i made a really wrong and questionable decision.
That's why i was standing on a Parking lot in the middle of the Night, alone, no car in sight i choosed the one near the Forest on purpose cause almost no one used it, not even the lights were working, the only thing well lit here was the kiosk in the middle of the old Parking lot.
The kiosk i was about to Rob.
Yes i just actually ended this thought the first time and i didn't like were it brought me.

When i look back on it now i maybe should have choosed another Path, maybe looking for a better Job if possible or just work 2 jobs at once.
But as it was now i was already standing here, checking my pockets to see if i have everything i needed.
Black Ski mask (check) i know that was a bit of a movie kinda thing but i didn't know what else to use honestly.
Flashlight (check) if needed.
A knife (check) i didn't actually wanted to hurt someone but maybe i needed something to look a bit more dangerous even when i would never use it.

And that was it, more didn't fit anyway,
I pulled my shoulder long blond Hair into a tiny bun on the back of my head so my hair didn't bother me, i fixed my dark green parker and looked at my Shoes to see if they are tied real good, the last thing i wanted was to fall over my own feet, something that btw happened far too often to me.

So i reached into my pocket and got the Mask out, pulled it over my Head, and here i was ready to Rob a Kiosk.

When i made my way over the Parking lot, i looked around to make sure that really no one was watching me, as i approached the well lit Kiosk i saw the Red sign glowing his way into my sight "24 hours open", sounds like something the Girls from my Highschool should have written on there Head.
I couldn't shake away the Smile on my Face, gosh i hope no one saw me.

 

What has to be done

 

I made my way to the Kiosk, with every step i came nearer to the Door i heared my heart pound louder in my Chest, and when i touched the Door i thought it would Stop and then.. Nothing.
Not even a Bird chirped, the Tv inside the Kiosk worked but it only showed Pictures of the News no Sound at all, not even the Door made his Signature sound you hear when you enter a Store or a Diner here.
,,Weird" i said taking a deep breath that froze in the minute it left my Lips and turned into mist coming out of my mouth, it was freezing in here i thought to myself as i entered the Kiosk.
,,Hello?" i said slightly louder to see if anyone was there, no response.
,,Where the hell is everyone and why is it so quiet" i couldn't figure out what i thought was more weird, the absolute and threatening silence or that no one was around but everything was perfectly running in here.

I looked around to make myself a better Picture of my Situation, on the left of my the counter, behind it lot and lot of Booze and Cigarettes, i guess that was the" adult" section, i looked around further, a lot of magazines, 2 table to stand to probably drink Coffee or something, and straight ahead of me the Toilet.

I thought to that whoever runs this place is probably on the Toilet so i walked up to the Door and listened to see if i was right, and.. Nothing i grabbed the handle and pushed it down, the Door opened and the Toilet was empty.

,,Okay now i am officially Confused" i said and turned around, at this point i long forgot why i came here in the first place, everything was just too weird, even if that would have been the best opportunity ever.

I walked up the Counter and behind it, there was a Door leading to what i thought was kind of a Storage Room and i was right, but even here no one.

I turned in my tracks and was no exactly in front of all my Problem Solver, Money.
I hesitated a moment since all that seemed to weird to me but i had to remember why i came here, i had to do this.

So i did it i filled what was left of my pocket space with money i guess it was not much but for me the World.
I didn't want to bring a bag that looked to suspicious to me.
And yes i know I'm wearing that Mask but who can judge me i did this for the first Time.
When i couldn't fit anything anymore in my pockets i stopped and closed them to make sure nothing fell out.

I made my way back to the Door of the Kiosk and looked one last time back i don't know why, but maybe it was because i couldn't believe what i was doing right now.

I opened the Door pulled the Mask off and started walking a bit fast i almost jogged my way towards the end of the Parking lot, i just wanted to leave.

And right when i was getting used to the Silence, Birds no Ravens dozens of them flew over the Parking lot coming out of the Woods, the sudden cries of them let me freeze in my tracks and i almost fell,,Jesus that scared me" i whispered looking into the Sky.

 

Unfaithful

 

Still looking into the Sky i stand there, seeing how the Sky colored itself even more than it already was from all the Ravens flying there made me feel like someone watching me.

I looked down to look over the Parking lot i tried to hold my Arms close to me since its gotten cold and the feeling of being watched didn't really make this whole situation better.
When i looked around i realized i wasn't alone, and that was it when it hit me, that's why i felt watched what if he saw me.

A bit in the direction i was going stand a Guy at least i thought it was a man, under one of the Street lights of the lot, the light was flickering and he just stood there i couldn't see his face neither any other features it was too dark.

I didn't know why buy something about that person made me want to Run away, let's call it Instinct.
He just stood there not moving, it looked like he was shivering or shaking.
But else than that no movement.

I had to get passed him, i didn't want to go through the Woods so that was my only way.

I had to keep my Cool i was almost out of the Parking lot, so i decided that i would just walk past him.

I started walking forward again, but with every step i made towards him, my Heartbeat got faster, my Skin got colder, it felt terrible wrong what i was doing.

And then just 3 meters from him, i stopped.
I could see him now, i was frozen, i didn't move anymore, i barley realized i was shaking now, all i saw was him, a Man, tall,
All that didn't scare me, what scared me was that he didn't look Human.

He wore what i think was Animal fur, over a weird cloak that had seen better days, the cloak was dirty ripped and most of all full of Blood, so were his Hands, his whole Body was covered in fresh Blood except his Face, i couldn't even see it, he wore a Skull on his head, and it was definitely not a human Skull looked like a deer.

Just to look at him standing there under the broken light not moving but twitching, gave me the shivers and i knew that was my moment to make a Run for it.
I took a step backwards, what resulted in him instantly turning his Head to me with a horrible sounds of Bones breaking.
And then i heared the most horrible voice i ever did in my life,,Un.. faithfull" he said as he began to twitch harder and shake his Head.

Tears rolled down my cheeks, at this point i was just shaking, i turned in my tracks almost fell and started to Run into the Woods.

The last thing i heared after i started running were horrible fast and inhuman footsteps following me, and they approached fast.

A new sensation

 

My legs got heavier with every second i was running more, at first i could hear that Thing right behind me, but now its gone at least i thought so.
After what felt like Hours to me i couldn't run anymore i didn't want to die like this but it was just not possible.

I stopped trying to catch my breath, i put my hands on my knees and crouched down i didn't want to get seen by it and i honestly couldn't stand anymore either.

,,It hurts"i said after cursing myself for never being up for any Activity that involved Sport in the past.
In the end i sat down, i just had to it felt so much better for my legs.

And then i listened, it was so dark and the Trees were so close to each other i almost didn't see anything at all.
So i just listened, i heared Water, probably a nearby River, Birds, the Wind, and then suddenly the noise of breaking Wood.
I stood up almost falling, from my legs being to weak i got panic, turned in all directions trying to figure out where the sound came from.
,,I just cant.."i whispered while a tears run down my cheeks,, Why me?" and again that sound louder almost near, breaking Wood, Footsteps, the horrible sound of breaking
Bones.

That Thing.
It Followed me all the way here?
I couldn't get my Mind straight i was too scared. Now that i look back at it i think i was never that scared in my life than it that exact moment.
I was also not the person to cry but in this situation and with knowing now what would be ahead of me, I was right to Cry.

I tried to get used to the Darkness.
And even after that it took me way too long to decide which Way to go since it was just too Dark, everything looked the same, for God's Sake i couldn't even remember that this Forest was so Big.
I heared them all the time while looking around trying to decide where to go, the noises i mean coming nearer and then suddenly nothing.

I tried to breath without sound, i began shaking in the moment the Noises stopped, my Finger formed fists, and the wind felt colder than before.

I closed my eyes to scared of what i could might see, i slowly turned, my feet felt like they were out of Stone i had trouble lifting them.
When i was fully turned, i slowly opened my Eyes, that moment didn't last long and in a second i felt a Hand on my throat, lifting me up from the Floor.
Tears came out of my eyes, i couldn't breath so i struggled grabbed his Hands with mine, trying to get some air.
That was the first time when i looked him straight into the eyes, and i was scared to beyond from what i saw.
Holes, darker than anything i had ever seen, just holes i couldn't see eyes in there and at this point i would even believe he didn't have any.
His deer Skull was broken on a lot of parts and bloody feathers of Raven were hanging around his neck.
,,Why me?" i coughed trying to keep my eyes open, my voice just a whisper.

His grip was loosing and i fell to the Floor, i tried to get the air into my Lungs they so desperately needed.
,,You.. Are.. unfaithful"he said with his horrible voice that sounded like someone run over a chalkboard with a Knife.
I don't even know how i understood him my eyes hurted every time he spoke.

My vision was blurry, i still tried to catch my breath so i figured out that running was no option.
And then i remembered, i still had the Knife.
I was still laying on the Floor my back facing him, i slowly reached into my pocket, making sure he didn't see what i was doing, grabbed the Knife, i stood up slowly.
I have one chance i thought to myself and turned around as fast as i could and striked my Knife right at him, and i didn't miss.
The knife now looking out of his shoulder, made Blood come out of the Wound as i pulled it back and took a few stapes back, my Hands felt warm from the sensation of someone else's Blood on them.
For a moment i almost Smiled, celebrating my tiny victory but he didn't seem to care he didn't even try to strike back at me and he didn't even move when he could have stopped me easily in what i was doing.
And i knew he could have, i reached to my throat, i knew how strong he was.

When i looked at the Hand i just touched my throat with i saw his Blood, dark, thick dripping from my Hand, i felt my eyes slowly closing and the last thing i saw was him coming to get me.

 

The Mine

 

I remember that when i woke up the first thing i saw was the Sky.

Darker than anything i ever saw, and at the same time so bright that it almost hurts my eyes.

I saw the Stars, hundreds of them, didn't feel anything, my head felt clouded and slowly all the Pain i was feeling started to creep back inside my Body.

When i managed to fully open my eyes i realized i was moving.
Every part of my Body did hurt, felt sore and i felt like i was about to puke.

Even though my Head felt heavy i was able to look up and i was able to make out that i was being dragged by that "thing" that i attacked  earlier.

My legs were tied with some sort of rope, like my Hands too.
That's when the Fear started to creep back into my Mind and Body and made me almost crazy, I felt like I was on the edge of Insanity.
Tears started coming out of my eyes and clouded my sight for a moment.
He was walking slow, like he was dizzy, i heard his breathing, and the sound of clicking what a horrible sound that was.

I managed to look over my Body, the possibilities, but all i saw was that i was hurt, cuts, and bruises everywhere.
It was no use, i couldn't keep my Head up anymore i had no strength.
I looked in the Sky again, crying of Pain, of every branch that hit me every Stone that cut my Arms or my Back.
And was it worth it?
That's what i thought in that moment.
That question just rested in my Mind like it was making itself a Home.
,,No" i said as tears were rolling down my face.
,,NO" i screamed louder.
,,I'm not supposed to end up like this!"
I screamed louder, with every word I creamed i cried more screamed louder let all my Pain out.
,,HELP"
I yelled desperately.
I pulled my Head up again to see that this "Thing" that was dragging me couldn't care less.
,,I SAID NO" i yelled as i started wiggling and turning and moving as hard as i could while hoping i could escape him.
I continued and continued until i came to the realization that it was over.
He was too strong.
I'm too weak.
Maybe i deserved this, I thought again.
I could see that the Sky slowly turned brighter.
Did we walk all Night? I started getting panic it was hours ago i robbed that Store, by now the Police was probably there.
And still i run all Night further and further into the Woods, no none would find me here.
I looked around tried to get a glimpse of what was ahead of me and to my sides.
Every time i tried to turn to look back he dragged be back into place and made a growling noise that terrified me.
And then i saw it, i almost couldn't believe my eyes i felt Tears of happiness run down my face.
I could see the edge of the Forest and behind between the Trees a House.
I couldn't spot more it was too far in the distance and my eyes weren't that good.
But that's all i needed to let some Hope spark inside of me.
,,HELP" i yelled
,,PLEASE I NEED HELP"
I yelled as loud as i could fixing my eyes on the House.
I was still being dragged that's all i needed to know to know for sure he didn't care about me yelling and that was my chance.
"PLEASE I NEED HELP SOMEBODY"
Tears run down my Face and i wanted to give up when i heard it,, HELLO?"
My Heart didn't beat for a second, the Forest turned quiet, you couldn't even hear a Bird.
That's when i realized that when i heard that Person... He did too.
I turned back to him too see him starring at me.
I started shaking, i had to decide now, if i would yell now i would have a chance of getting that guy from the House to notice me, but on the other hand that Thing looked like it was ready to rip my Throat out.
I slightly moved since i was nervous and scared.
My eyes still fixed on that Monster.
In the moment i moved he did too, i turned fully to me, now he was standing at the end of my Feet starring at me.
Now or never i thought.
Everything went to fast, i turned yelled
,,YES I'M HERE IN THE WOODS PLEASE"
and in the next second he was sitting on top of me Holding my Mouth closed with his enormous Hand.
My Face was still turned to the left my eyes opened in Fear, with tears running down my cheeks.
I couldn't and i wouldn't face him.
From the corner of my Eye i could see that he moved his Head closer to mine.
I felt his breath on my Neck, and his weight on my Body.
Please... Please i hope someone heard me.
I started crying and closed my eyes, scared of what would happen.
,,I'M COMING STAY WERE YOU ARE"
When i heard that i opened my eyes and turned directly facing that thing.
Then i looked up cause i heard Ravens, dozens of them flying in the Sky.
The Parking lot
My Mind brought me back to the moment i saw him standing there.

That Thing suddenly pressed on finger on my Lips like he wanted to signal to me i should Shut up, he didn't have to do that i thought, i wouldn't scream anyway with him that close, not again.
And then he stood up and walked away.
For a moment i was confused, couldn't get my Mind on the right track.
But then i realized that was my chance, i looked next to me, i needed something to cut those ropes.
After a few seconds i found a stone that looked perfect for what i was about to do so i rolled over it trying to grab it with my Hands.
I managed to grab the Stone and started to cut through the Ropes.
Right when i was Finished and started to sit up to get my legs loose a man came up to me he sat down next to me and looked worried and alarmed.
,,Did you yell like crazy? " he asked looking up and down on me.
,, oh my god... Jesus... You finally heard me.
Listen we need to get out of here right now!" i explain hysterical with tears still running down my face.
,,I don't know what happened but let me help you first" he said while he walked over to my legs as he went down on his knees to open the Ropes around my leg.
I felt happiness the first time in 24 hours i was this happy.
I was sitting there laying back resting on my elbows and i let my Head fall back, half out of Pain and half cause my Hair was open and full of Blood it was hanging in my Face and was really bothersome, after a minute i put my Head back up.
And what i saw let me wide my eyes in Fear and Horror.
The Guy that was trying to cut down my Ropes now kneed to my Feet with an Axt looking out of his Head separating both half's of his Scull.
His Face was completely destroyed only his lifeless Eyes still looked back at me, like all of this here was my Fault, before he fell down on my Legs.
His blood soaked itself through my Pants, painting the ground and leaves in a dark red, as I watched my kidnapper pulling out the Axt and tossing it on the ground, then kicking the Body over so it was out of the Way.

At this point i knew my life was over, the only chance i had, was dead right in front of me.
I made him come and get me.
Run into his own death.
Maybe he had a Family.
Tears rolled down my Face, my Mind was empty, i wasn't even scared anymore, maybe shocked from what i saw, but at this point all i did was starring like i was starring into a wall.
He came and bowed down grabbed my legs and instantly pulled on the them, giving me no time to adjust, I fell on the ground and my Head hit the Floor hard.

I felt the last meal i had coming up mixed with dizziness and fear consuming  my Mind.
I felt lifeless, this wasn't about chances anymore i had one and missed it.
I thought i was ready for whatever was about to come.
I just didn't know i could be so wrong.
We stopped after 5 more minutes of dragging what felt endlessly.
He let my legs go, came over and pulled me up on my Jacket in my Neck, he made me stand and made me Face two old metal doors.
I felt like all strength had left my Body, even standing was a challenge now.
He grabbed my Hair made me look up, i look at the Doors, they looked old, dirty, like the belonged to a Bunker.
They had old rusty and dirty plates on them with writing i couldn't read.. I tried to figure some words out. They were hard to read,
I guess one says Mine.
He let my Head go and took a step forward to open the Door, he just left me behind him since he perfectly knew i couldn't run away anyway.
The Doors opened and all i saw was Darkness, warm air came out of the Mine and a disgusting smell i couldn't recognize.
I even heard some kind of distant voices, but maybe i just went crazy.
He went behind me and pushed me down the Mine, into the Darkness.
Into my destiny.
