Chapter 1 - On the way

Jake was drunk, driving home to her girlfriend . They recently got into a fight over his girlfriend always coming home late. He went to the club to chug down some shots and take break from everything that was happening. That day when he was returning home from the club at 3 am in the morning, the road was clear and the atmosphere was very calm but in a horrifying way, the pin drop silence was very loud, as the car was moving forward, he saw a woman dressed in black standing below a dimly lit light, but Jake did not stop the car, and he passed the woman.

Jake's Pov :

After sometime, I saw the same woman standing below the same light dressed in black and her hair covering most of her face but this time she was moving forward in an utterly weird manner but as soon as my car came close to her she stopped moving and jerked her head upwards but my car quickly passed her again. I was confused, I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me, because your mind automatically fills in the darkness and I was a "little tipsy". I widened my eyes when I saw the woman again , I thought "it can't be, what is going on, is this a time loop or am I really that drunk, that can't be it now, can it?" It was just so confusing and weird. It can't be a time loop because that's not even real and the image is same but the movement is different. The existence of the woman was utterly disturbing, and now she was moving forward and stopped in the middle of the road, I was still a bit far from her, and now that she's in the middle of the road I have to stop my car. When I was a bit closer to her I stopped my car and gestured her to move from the middle of the road, instead of moving she started walking towards my car and opened the back passenger seat door and hopped in, the way she moved, it looked like she hovered above the ground, and that terrified me to the core, I was breaking a cold sweat in the drivers seat, horrified doesn't even describe the level of my fear. Right after she got in the car, the temperature dropped, I sighed and could see my breath. She started speaking in a deep and cracking voice as if her vocal chords have been slit, "Take me to the kisung station" she said, I tried to speak calmly, but my voice was shaking, "Sorry ma'am, could you please get out of my car, and I don't know where this kisung station is." She ordered me, loudly "I SAID DRIVE ME TO THE KISUNG STATION" I quickly spoke in fear "o- o- ok...." I started to drive slowly, I looked at the left wing mirror, saw her sitting in a weird way, her legs were crossed, I could see bruises on her legs and hands, her face was tilted down towards her lap, and I could see her weird posture, her shoulders were extremely slouched as if someone hammered them. Then I shifted my gaze back to the road, I tried searching for a sign that said Kisung station but found none. Then I looked at the front rear-view mirror, I flinched, panic rising in me, I saw her, sitting in the middle, no hair covering her face, I could see her wide, black, blood-shot eyes. Her nose was crooked, she had no skin on the bottom part of her face, and I was right, her throat had a deep cut in the middle, I could see her bone structure, I could see the bones of her jaw, the bottom half of her face was bloody, bloody as hell. I frighteningly turned back to look at her........... There was no one present, I could hear my heart-beat in my ears, panicking, I turned my head, to look back at the road, and saw her in the front passenger seat, sitting there with a knife, her distorted face looking at mine, I could see all the memories of my life flashing before my eyes, it felt like the end of the world, my heart beating even faster as if about to burst. But then, I saw a light coming from the front, before I passed out. I opened my eyes, saw police surrounding me, and blood all around me. I saw a familiar black figure again, as it held the knife close to it's heart, I saw the same wicked smile I once saw in my childhood.
