I
need is for my mom to come bail me out of jail.”
    “ Getting arrested is the
least of your worries,” Mary responded while giving him a look that
chilled his blood. Barry looked down at her watch and the time of
11:59pm glared back at him with a skin crawling malice that seemed
to blur his vision. Shaking his head trying to clear his vision
Barry responded,
    “ Let’s see if we can hitch
a ride with someone and get you home.”
    “ It’s too late for that.
Call 911 now or you won’t be able to in less than a
minute.”
    “ What the fuck Mary, you
are really freaking me out right now! What are you t―”

    12:00am

    The sound of the watch’s alarm going
off sent an eerie echo into the air and she immediately jumped to
her feet, snatching Barry up with her and started looking around
for something.
    “ What is it Mary? What are
you looking for?”
    “ Don’t you feel
it?”
    And before Barry could answer he
suddenly felt “it”. The fine hairs on the back of his neck and back
stood straight up and his stomach muscles tightened and churned
like he’d just drank a gallon of sour milk. The surrounding forest
suddenly took on a sinister aura as the night seemed to grow darker
and the air became dry and frigid. As the two of them backed away
from the glaring forest around them, the cool fall breeze seemed to
disappear as if it was sucked up in a massive vacuum.
    “ Mary, what the fuck is
going on?” Barry asked holding her hand so tightly the bones
grinded together causing her to grimace in pain. But despite the
sharp pain, she refused to let his hand go. Looking around Barry
noticed other trespassing teenagers appearing disoriented and lost
as everyone stood still as if they were waiting for the coming
abyss of hell to swallow them whole. The park grew deathly silent
which allowed Barry and Mary to hear the passionate moans of
Triston and Amanda misbehaving not too far from them. Awakened from
their “nightdream”, Barry and Mary ran towards the sounds of
sex.
    Something was off and Triston felt it
all over his body. His skin seemed to dry instantly and his head
erupted in a pounding torture that caused him to feel faint.
Needing to gather himself, Triston stopped and stumbled backwards
holding his head in confusion. Looking up at Triston, Amanda looked
frightened as the feeling of invading eyes engulfed her. Eyes that
possessed a feeling of murderous intent and not of arousal for
watching what the two lovers were just doing.
    “ Bae?”
    “ What?”
    “ Who is that behind
you?”
    Triston spun around and yelled as he
looked into the eyes of a familiar face with a very foreign
expression on it. The look in their eyes was primal; filled with
rage and he shuttered in fear as he jumped backwards. A response
that puzzled him after discovering just how attractive she was up
close and personal. Trying to regain a sense of masculinity after
being frightened by a woman, Triston giggled as he tried to explain
himself.
     
    “ Oh my God Mrs. Rodriguez,
you scared me half to death!”
    “ Really, well let’s get you
to that destination shall we?” She responded in a deep and raspy
voice that was uncharacteristic of her usual feminine and sultry
tone. Without warning she drew her hand back and smacked Triston
across the face. The force tore open his left cheek and sent him
tumbling to the ground. The pain rocked him to his core as blood
poured into Triston’s mouth, causing his eyes to immediately fill
with tears. Enraged he angrily yelled,
    “ What the fuck is wrong
with you? I’m sorry Mrs. Rodriguez for not bringing Mary home by
twelve, but you have no right to put your hands on me. My father is
An attorney and you will be hearing from him!”
    “ I doubt your cheating and
conniving father would want to exchange one word with the likes of
me. Get your ass up; you reek of the foul stench of this little
whore. The smell of her over used and polluted cunt has bonded with
your skin and clothes and you need to be
