Modern Day Horror Story

“Mimi Lo and I, will be enjoying a cruelty free day out here in the nearby forest of Dark Raven, Idaho We packed a bunch of vegan snacks. We’ll be leaving our devices in the car. But stay put for a Live tonight. Chat with you all later!” Angel puts down her phone on the Boulder she was sitting on. She put up her long wavy strawberry blonde hair in a tight bun. She glanced at herself in her compact mirror. Her golden eyes popped With her long fake flashes and the light neutral colors around her eyes. Her concur Was on point as always. She wore dark blue leggings that came past her waist. A black Sports bra and a dark blue hoodie to fight the early autumn cold. She was beautiful. Probably the biggest thing besides the urban legends to come out of Dark Raven. She had a following of over 50,000 on any of her social media’s. Her lover/best friend MiMi, or Maria would be a close second. Angel skips over to MiMi who had just finished her own vlog. Angel checks out MiMi long and hard. Her pixie cut black hair and big doe brown eyes just give her a hint of feminity. She wore a tight white tank top that stopped just above her belly button, displaying a pink jewel pierced And a hint of her abs she worked so hard for. Her tight jeans displayed her muscular calves. “We’re not seriously doing this” MiMi groans. “We’d honestly get better views if we promote this as an Paranormal hunt” Angel rolled her eyes and kicked the dirt a little. “Last I checked we had channels to promote cruelty free and active life styles. Not a Paranormal channel” “Besides my mom is glad we’re bringing other focus to the town other than the urban legends” MiMi slowly walks towards her vintage Blue VW bus motioning Angel to come. While Angel wants to start the hike, she goes with. “My grandma thinks you’re crazy. Can’t say I blame her. It’s one thing to test Vegan products and recipes by your pool or in our rooms. Even leaving to the bigger cities for better options and what not. I had even agreed to do those interviews with you next week with those dairy farms. But this forest-“ MiMi was cut off with a large shriek from the forest. Angel paces and starts to look uneasy. She checks her phone and looks at all the Emojis and praises her fans are leaving her. Along with them though are some warnings. “Look nobody has to know we didn’t go in there” MiMi says as she opens the car door. “I don’t want to lie” Angel cries slowing backing towards the car. “I’ll just say on my channel that the cops came up and told us to leave because this is trespassing. It kinda is I guess this is technically this family’s land” Angel nods her head and gets into the passenger side. MiMi gets on the driver’s side and goes to start the car and nothing. “Great, MH didn’t fill the tank like they promised to” MiMi pulls out her phone and dials her cousin’s number. She says something in Spanish and hangs up angrily. “MH is two hours away and they can’t leave for another two hours. They had to attend something for their job.”. Angel starts to get nervous and fidgets with her keys. Something told her they should have brought separate cars. Though MiMi probably wouldn’t want to leave hers so close to the forest”. “It’s starting to get dark. If it wasn’t for me waking up so late. We could have got here sooner” Angel whimpered. MiMi not liking to disappoint Angel reaches for her hand. Angel takes it. “Let me call Nado” MiMi’s brother picks up on the first ring. MiMi explains the situation and he says he’ll be there as soon as possible but it’ll be at least an hour because he has to close his shop. MiMi explains to Angel. Angel looks outside and the sun is setting. She takes a deep breathe and tries calling her mom. No answer. It’s 5:30 on a Wednesday, she’s at a charity dinner for the local nursing home. Angel calls her dad but it goes straight to voicemail. She knows he had a tough morning in court with his ex wife, who is also the sheriff. Biggest mistake a man can make is having an affair with the town looney while your wife is the sheriff. That being said Angel and her mom still have a great relationship with Detective Sole. In fact, that’s an idea. Angel goes to call Chloe Sole. Straight to voicemail. She calls the sheriff department. “Hello this is Officer Brigg” a silky voice answers. “Nikole? Is Chloe there?” Angel says almost panicking. “Um no, she’s attending the fundraiser for Widow’s Hill nursing home. Anything I can help you with?” Angel sighs hoping Nikole is as understanding as Chloe has been. “It’s Angel Baxter. I’m stranded with Maria Lopez in front of the forest” Angel hears a pen drop in the background. “Well not only is that illegal because all of that belongs to Valentine Alexandre but it’s just dumb to go over there. Look I can’t leave. Chloe is at that dinner for another 2 hours at least and one of the nighttime patrolmen called in so I’m understaffed. Maria should call her brother. His auto repair shop is nearby and I’m sure he’ll help. I’m sorry but you girls have lived here for 20 years. Since you were born. Your mom is the mayor for crying out loud”. Nikole then hangs up. “Well we’re waiting for Nando, everyone is held up at that dinner” Angel mumbles now noticing it’s officially dark. “Did she say Widow’s Hill? Like the cemetery?” “Yeah that’s what it was called before. The nursing home. My mom explained to me that it was a bit of dark humor back then. By the 70’s they named the cemetery that and named the nursing home Willow’s fields. But it’s passed down the generations so everyone still kinda calls it that. Even my mom slips up” “I don’t think I could pass that down to my kids. In Fact I’m glad my grandma didn’t” MiMi sighs. Angel shrugs and looks out the window. “Hey I see headlights, maybe it’s someone that’ll help” “What?” Angel jumps out of the car and walks towards the red lights. MiMi jumps out and runs after her. “Angel wait!” MiMi yells but by then Angel was in front of the creature . It stood at least 8 foot and had glowing red eyes. It was dark and had the shape of a human but it’s upper torso resembled an instinct like appearance. It jumped towards Angel startling her and making her fall backwards. It lunges at her and she lets out a sharp cry “MiMi!” The creature gets closer and closer to her until she feels it’s hot breathe in her face and it reaches out a black hand with dark hair covering it and slowly starts to press it in her face. “FREEZE” a voice shouts. An officer with salt and peppered hair and a thin frame is standing there with his gun out. The creature lets out a loud shriek. Before Angel can process what’s going on, MiMi yanks her arm and drags her into the patrol car. MiMi yells at the officer, Lets go and the officer does so, getting in the drivers seat and taking off before his Door is even fully closed. The ride back was silent until the officer said “Probably not the best time but your car?” MiMi clasps her hands over her mouth “Oh s**t my brother was supposed to bring us gas” “Are you fine with your brother driving your car?” “oh yes. It was originally his” The officer calls another officer on the Radio “Officer Jean to Officer Court. Over. “Court here. Over” “Can you stop by Nando’s repairs and take Fernando Lopez to pick up Maria Lopez’s vehicle. Go armed and take Sole with you if possible. “Sole here. I’ll meet you there Court. Jean take those girls home and fill us in. Do they need anything?” Officer Jean looks at Angel and MiMi looks at Angel. Angel lets out a soft cry “I just want Maria, my mom, and to go home” The officer and MiMi nod their head. “Baxter just wants Mayor Lola Brink and Maria Lopez at her residence” “Ok. Tell Baxter I texted Martin Baxter and gave him a heads up and if she needs anything let us know” “Court here pulled up at Nando’s repair” “Sole is pulling up now” Angel looked at MiMi. “I texted him and let him know.” They reach Angel’s house. Angel feels a deep relief seeing her mom already standing out there with a hug of herbal tea and a plate of vegan peanut butter cookies. As they start to get out of the patrol car Officer Jean takes a deep breath, “that new Paranormal Specialist coming in tomorrow is going to have her work cut out for her”
