The woman parked her car in front of a takeaway restaurant. “Stay here” she told Erin. “I’m going to get you something to eat”
“What about you?” Erin frowned.
“I don’t need to eat” the woman replied secretive. She loosened her belt and stepped out of the car. Before closing the door she leaned towards Erin. “Try not to draw any attention. I’ll be back in a minute”
Erin nodded and the woman headed towards the restaurant. Erin leaned forward and pushed the radio button. Someone was singing some morbid song that gave Erin the creeps. She changed the station and soon after Carly Rae Jepsen sang through the boxes. Erin had no idea who she was and she didn’t really enjoy the song, but at least it didn’t scare the hell out of her.
Erin leaned backwards and closed her eyes when the radio station changed back to the creepy song. She opened her eyes and looked at the radio. Okay, so, there was a technical problem with the radio. Nothing to freak out about. In a few minutes the song would be over. She stared intensely at the radio, as if that would make the song end faster, when someone tapped the window. Erin screamed and looked aside. There was a girl standing, signaling with her hands. Erin let the window down.
“Can you help me?” the girl cried. “My car broke down and my phone’s dead…I think there’s something out there. I heard noises”
Erin looked through the windshield to see if the woman was on her way back yet. When she was nowhere to be seen she moved to the driver’s seat and opened the passenger’s seat. “Get in” she said agitated. The girl stepped in. “Thank you so much” “Yeah, save it” Erin snapped while she checked the ignition. The woman had left the key in it. Erin started the key and drove away.
“My name’s Rose, btw” the girl said. Erin kept her eyes straight ahead and held the wheel tightly. “Ehm…something wrong? You seem a little uptight. Is it because there’s a stranger in your car? I swear I’m harmless. Oh, turn in here” Rose gave directions. Erin drove around the corner “It’s just a few miles now”
Ten minutes later Erin parked the car in front of Rose’s house.
“Thanks so much. I’ll go grab some money” Rose promised.
“I’m not a taxi driver” Erin commented dry. She wanted Rose to get out of the car so she could drive away as far as possible.
“Okay, then” Rose shrugged. She leaned backwards and loosened her seatbelt, when she felt a flaming pain in her back.
Erin’s eyes bulged and she opened her mouth, but she was too shocked to pronounce any words. Rose gasped for air and a second later she leaned back and stared at the ceiling of the car.
“Rose?” Erin mutter with a creaking voice.
“She can’t answer, moron” Erin looked over her shoulder to see the woman sitting on the backseat, holding a bloodied knife and wearing an expression of pure malicious pleasure on her face. “She’s dead”
“What about you?” Erin frowned.
