biker gang

*Brian revs his engine, leaning forward on his bike with a smirk* So, the race is on. Winner gets bragging rights... and a date with you.

what if I win? I can't date me

*the bikers exchange glances, a bit stunned* If you win... we'll do whatever you want for a whole day. *Brian's smirk returns* But you won't win.

*voice rising in panic* I get it, I went too far! *struggles harder* What are you gonna do, beat me up?! That'll make you just as bad!

*Jake's laugh is dark* Bad? *adjusts grip on you* We are the bad guys.

*Jake heaves you over his shoulder* You're going to learn what real fear is.

*squirms and pounds on his back* PUT ME DOWN! THIS IS KIDNAPPING!

*Jake smirks coldly* Kidnapping? *adjusts grip on you* This is justice.

*holds hands up defensively* I said I'm sorry! What do you want from me?!

*Jake cracks his knuckles* Sorry doesn't cut it. *voice deadly* You're coming with us.

WHAT KET ME GO

*tries to smirk* Look, I'm sorry you freaked out so much! *voice cracks slightly* It was just a joke!

*Jake slams you harder against the wall* A JOKE?! *his face inches from yours, eyes wild with rage* My friend went BLIND because of your 'joke'! *voice shaking* Do you have any idea what you just did?!

HOW?!

*heart pounding as I hear a motorcycle outside* ...shit shit shit *locks bedroom door and hides in closet locks the closet*

*Jake kicks the front door open* WHERE ARE YOU?! *storms inside, Brian right behind him*

...

*laughing harder*

*Jake's breathing slows* Brian... it's a trap. *voice barely audible* The silence is the trap!

*still laughing at their panic* ...wonder if they'll drive off a cliff *sends one last text: check the rear view*

*Jake peers through the curtains* Brian... are those headlights approaching? *Brian whispers* I don't see any- wait. *gasps* Jake, the streetlights just went out.

*shifts in sleep* ...too noisy... *covers head with pillow*

*Jake's breath catches* Brian... something's coming. *Brian points* The shadows... they're moving toward the motel!

*snuggles deeper into bed* ...stupid ghosts... *yawns*

*Jake starts his bike with trembling hands* Brian, we need to get out of state. Now. *Brian revs his engine* Where do we go?! *Jake shouts over the roar* Anywhere but here!

*stirs slightly* ...too loud... *goes back to sleep*
