.:Knock, knock, knock...:.
"Hurry up!!"
Nick was waiting in his old, beat up car, his fingers tapping against the steering wheel while he waited for his girlfriend, Lilith. It was October 25th and a costume party was going on at Huthford Hall. Nick was just in a jogging suit, his Nikes with a silver streak down the side thumping against the base of the car floor in a bored rhythm.
"Sorry! I had to finish doing my ha-... What kind of costume is that?" Lilith said as she got into the car, pulling her fake tail into the car and putting it onto her lap before she shut the door behind her. She was looking at Nick with a disgusted look.
"I'm a runner." Nick shrugged, turning the key and turning on his car, pulling the car out of the driveway. "What about you?"
"I'm a cat! Can't you tell?!" Lilith pouted, tucking at her kitty ears and pulling her seat belt into place.
"No I can't..." Nick muttered while in response the car sputtered.
"Fine... How about some music?" Lilith said, then reached for the drawer where Nick kept his CDs. She would rather listen to some music than this old car's polluting potential, both environmentally and noise wise...
With an awkward chuckle, Nick sighed. "CD player's broken."
"That's just great. What do we listen to then?"
"The radio works." Nick said, leaning over and turning on the radio with a flick of a switch.
The road to Huthford was damp. The fog was thick to a four meter radius and the headlights were barely working. The radio sputtered to life, and the only station that was working played this.
ATTENTION... ATTENTION... zzzt... The Hangman has escaped from the custody unit on Jacklyn Avenue.... Vtshhhh.... All nearby persons are advised to... Zttt.... shhhhh....... The announcement was drowned in static then stopped all together... The radio had died.
Liliith was scared. They had to pass that road to get to Huthford. They were just coming across it now, Lilith's fingers and hands crossed that this car could get them there and back safely.... When the car died....
"Oh no... Ooooh no.... W-What if that guy is still around here? What if-"
"Relax, Lil." Nick smirked, acting very nonchalantly about this. "It's just the battery. There should be a gas station just four blocks ahead."
"Four blocks?! Y-You're not going to leave me here alone, are you?!"
"Relax. I've got my runners. I'll be there and back in no time. Besides, you can't run in those." Nick chuckled, but Lilith still wasn't happy, clutching to Nick's hand with a look that said, Don't joke about this... With a sigh, Nick gave Lilith a peck on the cheek and smiled. "There's a blanket in the back. Hide under that and keep the door locked until I come for you."
"But how will I know it's you?..." Lilith said worriedly, lowering her head in fear.
"I'll knock three times. Just like this." Nick said as he opened the car door just behind him and knocked on the roof of the car. Knock... knock... knock... "Keep the keys. It'll be safer." Nick said, then put the keys of his old car into Lilith's hand.
With a nod, Lilith watched Nick get out and jog up the road, soon vanishing into the fog. Lilith then closed and locked the doors of the car, climbing into the back seat and covering herself with the blanket, hiding between the rows of chairs.
It felt like she was waiting for hours. She heard rustling and dripping from outside.
Knock....
Lilith was just about to jump up with joy, but she remembered that there had to be three. "Come on... Again..."
Knock...
"One more time..." She thought, squeezing her eyes shut.
Knock......
"Nick!!" Lilith thought with joy, just about to throw the blanket off, but she froze.
Knock......
Lilith froze and trembled, not daring to move. "N-Nick?..." She said quietly. No answer... Just knocking on the roof of the car.
Knock....... Knock........ Knock.....
With every knock, Lilith felt like a bit of her insanity was being taken away from her bit by bit. Then suddenly, there was a police siren, followed by voices and then the flash of a light through the fog. She could see it through the blanket and pulled it off, looking up. There were two police officers signaling her to unlock the door and come out, so she did.
"O-Officer Jake... Where's Nick?... D-Did you see him?" She asked, frantically.
The officers exchanged uncertain looks and lead Lilith to the squad car. "... We will explain later... Just don't look behind you..." Officer Jake said very lowly.
Lilith nodded, but she couldn't resist. She only took two more steps before she turned her head to look. She couldn't believe her eyes and fell to her knees in tears. Hanging by a rope around his neck just above the car was Nick... His body swinging and his Nike tapping against the roof of the car.
Knock... Knock... Knock...
It's Nick!!!NO he DIED!(Just kidding
