Rusty+Chains

Andrea skipped through the halls of Walter Burrington High. Breathing airily, she walked up to her locker and noticed a small Post-It note stuck to her lock. Curious, she removed the Post-It and began to read.

"Death is coming, my dear Andrea. :)"

Echoes of the note ran through her mind throughout the day. From P.E. to English, she couldn't get rid of the taunting smiley face. Glimpses of her childhood flashed before her eyes, going form her fifth birthday to last year, when she got her first car. Horror seeped into her soul. //I gotta do something about this!// thought Andrea//.// Jogging to her car after school, Andrea ran into the person she least wanted to see. "Kain," said Andrea.

"Look and behold, the glorious Kain, at your service," exclaimed Kain as he bowed deeply. "My word, you should know better than to run Andrea! Never, ever should you run from Death; he will //always// find you."

"Oh . . . Oh no!" whispered Andrea, as horrible recognition filled her.

Pacing back and forth, Kain said, "Perhaps . . . . no, that will never do."

Quietly, Andrea started edging toward her car. Rusty chains clanked just as she was about to pull open the car door.

"Such a shame, I always thought you were a kind person."

//That lunatic actually seems sad as he's saying this!// thought Andrea. "Unfortunately for you, it is highly unlikely that you will survive this."

Violently, she began shaking. When she heard the rusty chains again, she started to hyperventilate. Exactly at that moment, she pulled open the door and tried to escape, but as she felt for the handle, her breath was cut off, and she felt herself choking.

"Ynng," strained Kain as he pulled the chains tighter, until he suddenly threw his arms forward.

Zzzzzung, went the metal as Andrea's skull cracked against it.

And yes, it's possible to be 1/4 asleep. :P
