Y'all are in for one hell of a ride.

By far, everything was going great.. The girl still had that unsettling feeling, but tried not thinking about it. She couldn't do anything to forget about, because in the moment she was stuck sitting between Ben and Tyler who were silent almost all the time, and behind them Taylor and Logan having a light converstation. Her flashlight rested on her lap as she kept glancing out the windows on either side of her, looking past the two boys. But there wasnt anything interesting to look at.. Just.. the pointy.. tips of the trees.. So sharp. Seemed like it could even cut throught someones body..
funny..
The jeep finally passed the school, where Ashlyn took a right turn. It was going smoothly, and as all the others were keeping watch, the girl thought; why not to take a small nap? So closing her eyes and setting her flash down on her lap, she let out a deep sigh. This kind of alerted the two boys next to her, as they turned their heads to the girl sitting between the, only to see her.. already dead asleep. Her head hung low, and her hands rested limply in her lap next to the flashlight. A dumbfounded expression crossed Tylers face; How could she sleep at the most terrible times? Rolling his eyes, he raised his head up, only for his eyes to lock on the boy on the other side of the brunette, whos gaze was locked onto her. Ben had a soft look in his eyes, but his lips remained in a straight line. Tyler frowned at this. He, himself didn't know why, but he just had to break the silence.
"Dude, focus.."
This made Ben snap out of his little 'daze', as he snapped his head away from the girl and looked out the window with a shocked expression. He didn't remember turning his head towards the girl, and didnt know how long he was doing it.. He sweatdropped.
"What the-!"
Ashlyn swerved the car, as it made everyone almost slide to the side if they didnt have their seatbelts on, snapping the sleeping girl awake. She jerked to the side with her eyes wide, feeling the seatbelt catch her body.
"Holy shit Ashlyn! I knew you were a bad driver, but this bad?!"
"Shut up! There was a giant tree root in the road-?"
"That's strange.. This road is usually well-maintained-"
BUMP!
"GAH!"
"Are you sure this is the right road?"
"I'm positive.. But there were never roots in the way." Logan fixed his glasses, and leaned out from the end of the jeep to take a look outside. "Ah! Yeah, there's the gas station we usually..."
"..Pass?"
"That's.. Not a good sign."
"Yeah, uh.. Ash, this is hella uncomfortable." The brunette stated, as the redhead nodded at her words, still driving. "Maybe we should find a different road-"
She froze. Her head snapped to the side to look around, as her gaze stayed on a bushy, dark place. The bushed rustled, and moved. Maybe it was the wind-
THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.
"Ashlyn step on the fucking gas!"
"I'm on it!"
"Hey-! What's with the sudden speed??"
WHAM.
"Ack!"
"What has gotten into you two?!"
"Tyler please shut up before I put something through you! There is something in the fucking trees!" Ashlyn gripped the wheel harder while focusing and listening to her sister explain what the two of them heard from the trees.
"What happened to the road??"
"Ashlyn, we should turn back! Something obviously isn't right-"
"-We can't."
"Why not?!" Tyler yelled at the redhead, before a hand on his mouth stopped him. He looked to the side, to see the brunette with a hand on her finger, shushing him.
"Because It's right behind us."
THUD..
THUD..
THUD..
THUD.
TAK TAK TAK.
"...There's no way any of our lights are strong enough to do any real damage to that thing..." And that was true. The girl was still looking backwards, making straight eyecontact with the monster behind them. Her breath hitched in her troath as it began going faster-
YELP-
The girl let out a small yelp as a pair of hands were placed on her waist, pulling her back on the car seat so she wasnt looking at the creature anymore. She looked to her side to see Ben with a finger infront of his lips, and a nervous look on his face. Getting what he meant, she sat back straight in her seat and looked back ahead, gripping her seatbelt. "He's right, I doubt even the jeep headlights would be more than an annoyance to something that large!"
"S-should I try shooting it?!" Logan asked, as the weapon in his hands were already aimed at the monster behind them. He looked nervous, but if anything, I think all of them trust him with the gun out of the whole group. "Not yet! We could end up attracting more!"
The brunette took her eyes off of Logan, and looked back ahead, her eyes widening. "Ashlyn, rock pillars!" She warned her driving sister of the.. completely different enviroment ahead of them. "Yeah, I see them!"
"Ashlyn, we need to turn around! We're going to end up lost and run into more of these things!"
"I know, I know!!"
Logan leaned ahead to Tyler, as he said something was wrong with the gun. Scoffing, he crawled into the back. Rylee sat into his seat on the side as Tyler told Tay to sit in the middle, if anything happens... She buckled her seatbelt, and held Taylors flashlight as she did the same, then handing it back to her with a small smile.
"Ashlyn, It's getting closer-!"
"SCREW IT."
WHOOOSH.
The monster raised one of it's.. claws? The brunette didnt know how to explain it-
SLAM.
"Is everyone okay?!"
At the redheads question, Rylee looked around. "Yeah, seems like everyone is, but.. The door is banged up pretty bad." Her hand was interlocked with Taylor as the darker skinned girl squezed it, hard. She didnt let go, and she wouldnt let go even if something happened. She knew how Taylor was, and with her twin in the back and not next to her, she knew Taylor depended more on her than Ben by her other side. But she didnt mind. Taylor felt like a second sister to her. A bubbly, childish behavior at that, which she seemed to like having around, with Ashlyns grumpy self.
SWERVE.
The brunette tried to lean away from the banged up door more and more, but it was hard with all the swerving here and there, and-
CLICK.
Her eyes widened.
Full of horror.
Her hands couldn't seem to grab onto anything.
She saw Taylor reaching an arm out towards her, and seemingly shouting her name but..
She couldn't hear at the moment.
Her ears were ringing.
Her breathing was raggedโ
"RYLEE!!!"
THUD.
"I-i have to turn back, I can't leave her-!"
"You can't, it's right behind us!"
"I have to!.. No.. No. NO!"
Please no.
Don't leave me here.
I'm scared of being left alone.
SNAP.
And that was season 1๐ป
