Telling stories by the fire passing the time on a cool evening in the traditional way.
The car radio softly playing through an open window, keeping each other warm and murmuring to each other softly about the coming winter and how this night would pass all to quickly...
A rush of wind through the trees startles her, as she nestles into to the small of his neck she lets out a soft giggle, as she was silly to be frightened by the nature and beauty of this place, a forest unknown to the pair but welcoming all the same, she has a thought back to the observatory they passed on the way to see her parents for fall break, they would love to see the fall colors from up there.
Her parents would think they were fools for getting out in an unknown state forest rather than continuing on to a hotel, but she had been itching to camp though she hadn't been able to make time, school, work, and finding a place to rent was taking all her time and even at times weighing on the relationship.
The pair sat, gazing into the memorizing flame they felt all the more at ease, but something was lingering in the back of his mind the noise of night animals was now noticeably absent now, no crickets or even the sound of raccoons pattering about just out of sight, she still thinks back to the observatory its stoic appearance in the midst of such a vast sea of trees, the man who halted them before they could enter seemed hesitant to speak to them as if they had wronged him just stepping foot inside, but before they could scurry out a second man came forward with a salesman's grin, "how about a tour" the pair was delighted to see the stars and have such a view over the evergreen canopy, only when they decided to head out ;lest be to late; did the sly looking fellow seem a bit timid, as he was keeping captive them for every moment.
"We shouldn't have stopped at that place back there."
"the observatory? I was just thinking about it, that guy must not have many tourists out here, he really wanted us to stay huh?"
"yeah creeped me out a bit, and there wasn't even souvenirs at the end, whatever, were her now, just us, and you did want to camp."
"YAS"
"heh"
"what you look weird?"
"I dunno guess I got a chill."
"Oooh wanna tell ghost stories an make it worse?"
"Hah no."
There was stillness in the air, with the change in his mood she could sense it now too.
Leaves softly rustled on a breeze, she rested her head on his lap as he sat cross legged, reclined against a tree.
A small "pit pat" sounded near the car just behind them near the exist of what was presumed to be a deer trail hunters had made a small area to park.
"The radio stopped playing, god did the battery die?!"
"quiet."
-"What??"
"I heard something."
"It may be that raccoon again, the car lights still on, weird, the radio was on right?"
"Please just sit with me, I'm getting creeped out."
He plants a kis on her cheek and begins to sit up.
"I'm just gonna turn it off this is the last place we want the battery to die."
The car light fades out.
"damn it"
As he runs to the car a few sticks break just a few feet away, She sits up and grabs more wood for the fire.
"what are you doing? your gonna burn the forest down!"
"I heard something, please don't yell."
"look maybe we should just call it for camping we can go to a park when we get closer to your parents house, they can come with, the battery isn't dead it was probably saving energy or somethin', lets just take turns driving the rest of the way ok."
"No I'm sorry I got all scaredy, do you have that blanket it's getting cooler"
"Not with that fire all a blaze"
"heh, sorry, it'll die down soon.. I did hear something though, it was like twigs snapping."
"Ew don't say that, now I'm getting spooked."
The pair speak softly for an hour or so before she begins to rest her eyes, when again they hear the leaves rustle,
and the other wise silent woods seem thicker.
"pit Pat.. pit Pit pat..pit pat.."
A sound like the first drops of a storm.
"is it gonna rain?"
"Nah it's not supposed to, anyway it stopped.."
A Hiss unlike any animals swells through the trees in front of them the cause unseen.
She wakes from her daze with a start as he stands up and braces her.
"The fires low... Look"
The fire is simmering softly.
As quickly as they notice a "THWap" nearly extinguishes the dying embers, as she scrambles backward, a ratlike appendage slips back in to the dark and is accompanied by a second guttural hiss.
The cause of this sudden break in silence seems to take a step back and the silence returns, if only to be interuped again.
"God, We Have to leave, Please, Lets go come on, whats wrong with you?!?"
He stands still paralized by a gaze so unnatural and yet so primordial.
Two gleaming white orbs reflecting off the fast fading embers, stare daggers at the flame.
He is unable to start the fear has gripped him "could it lash out if I move?" "what is it" he wonders
"Fuck what is it??"
As she grips his pant leg unable to stand for the quaking in her limbs.
The creature lunges out in such a blur, the flame is bown out by its force and the creature now stands before her
He gasps for air as the creatures snakey rat like tail tightens around his throat, just as it extinguished the fire that once held all there safety it now is extinguishing him, his vision fades as the creature tosses him aside with no effort, It was so fast it lept upon the tiny camp and al at once ended the last licks of flame with its gust and now had the love of her life in it's grasp, but it's focus was on her, the eyes so piercing and brighter now, they still had a buttery glow to them.
Seeing now lit only under moonlight and the now useless glow of embers the creatures sunken features, a skull like head those heinous obsidian eyes sunk into the pits of, long yellowed teeth shown in the dim cast, its hands bare too many digits, it's arms almost simian like reaching ever toward her with one paw seemingly beckoning her from the warmth near the ashes, the tongue lulling there like a three foot long slug, forked at the end and glittering drool.
The body of the horror is disjointed, and seemingly mangled, the rib cage shows through exposing beneath it an ungodly slimy structure holding it's organs or perhaps that of a past meal for they are too numerous causing the sinew to bloat outward, it's contents slither and writhe beneath the gummy flesh,
"pit Pat..piT Pat pit pat" it's hideous opposable tail now freely wiping about behind it not hitting a single overhead branch. The legs are too long disproportional to the body ending in claws similar to those of its fore limbs, "pit pat pit pat" and between them there, dripping "pit pat pit pat pat" gleaming it's member hangs poised for attack... the last ashes of the once roaring fire, the safe place die fully as the light is snuffed out in it's entirety.




Dawn the following day.
"she's gone christ what did it do, where did it take her?!"
"Sir please calm yourself"
"let go of me you, you!?"
"Sir please we need to get you looked after who are you shouting about?"
"My girlfriend you Bastard! Your disgusting...why?? let me go!"
"sit still please you've been through some trauma, we've called an ambulance"
"NO IT TOOK HER THAT FUCKING THING!"
"have we anything for, hm, his nerves?"
"LET ME GO I NEED TO GO"
"YOU KNEW"
"YOU KNEW DIDN'T YOU"
