The Dark WomanA Story by Jaco DiabloShort story,Please let me know what you guys think? I am a aspiring horror writer, and I would love some feedback.
“There is something beautiful about all of the pain and torture, it
looks like HELTER SKELTER”. Mackullen wake up! Jesus Christ Paxton I’m
up, as I lifted my head from my desk I could feel the pain shooting from
my temple to my eyes. I feel like I haven’t slept in days, this same
dream, its always the same dream. "Detective Mackullen Paxton belted
out, maybe you would like to pay attention, you cannot solve this case
if you dont know whats going on. If you do not pull it together I’m
going to have you tested for damn narcolepsy". Out of the corner of my
eye I could see Miles, and Rosa snickering, I would have made my usual
“I would love to laugh too” smart-a*s comment but I felt like a bus hit
me in the face. Well to continue Paxton said, were dealing with
something completely different here, there have been 7 murders in the
last 4 months and no one has any leads. Mackullen and Ruiz I’m putting
you on special detail, I want you to check out the last crime scene and
see if you can unearth anything. For some reason Paxton loved putting me
and Clara together, we were the only ones in our outfit that went to
college so I guess that’s the link. As Clara walked to my desk I noticed
a red ring around her neck, Clara I jolted what the…but as quick as I
had seen it, it was gone. "What Chad"…nothing, I just could have sworn I
saw a red ring on your neck. Jesus she giggled you have got to get out
of the office man, the florescent lights must be f*****g with your eyes,
or my head I suggested,Knowing I haven’t been able to shake this
headache in days. I’m good I gestured with my hand, well good Chad we
have work to do Clara told me while walking to the door. I tried to stay
some distance behind her hoping we would take her car, She had this
2009 Audi r8 with a black leather interior and silver panel with a
hidden holster that she kept her Glock 30 in. Me on the other hand had
the classic beat up Honda so I figured I had good reason to ride in
hers. We’ll take mine Clara signaled me to get in. As we pulled out of
the station out of quick glance I noticed a woman by the tree line, her
hair looked disheveled, and her body had a strange look to it, as if her
entire form had been mangled by someone or something. Time seemed to
have stood still, she twisted her head to turn to me, as the woman tried
to vocalize her words her face turned the color of dark rain, and her
jaw completely disconnected from her face, as if they had only been held
together by loosely tied string. My ears rang with the screeching of
tires and my body fell weightless as we fell into a ditch on the side of
the road. My eyes opened slow, I felt as if i had to pry them open with
the little strength I had left. My head spun, but when my vision
leveled there was Clara’s head severed, pressed against the steering
wheel. Her left eye was protruding out of its socket and her dark brown
hair was tangled in between the spaces in the steering wheel. Clara I
tried to yell only gurgling on my own blood, we have to…we have to…only
at that point did I realize I was trying to comfort my friends
decapitated head. I released my seat belt, and fell sideways out of the
car, trying to catch myself I fell backward on my wrist AHH.... my
f*****g wrist I squealed, I felt like I was going to pass out, but just
before I could release another breath something began panting. Ten feet
in front of me this dark figure started limping from the same tree line
as the Dark Woman. In the process I could hear it struggling to breathe,
the light from Clara’s headlight shined forward illuminating the
creatures face. It was her... the Dark woman, jaw even more disconnected
than before, she inched closer and I began to panic, crawling backwards
I frantically backed towards the car to reach for Clara’s gun. Under
the seat, under the seat I repeated in my mind, trying to crawl without
putting any pressure on my wrist the pain ensued. Oh my god, Jesus
f*****g Christ, I reached under the seat cutting my fingers on the
shards of glass from the broken windshield, I could feel the gun, but
her seat had pinned it into the holster. Pausing from exhaustion I
couldn’t work myself to look to see how close she was. In the silence of
those few seconds I noticed that the breathing had stopped. To afraid
to open my eyes I just decided to lay there and listen to my own
heartbeat. As I finally mustered the strength to open my eyes I could
not see her. My legs then she began to tug on my legs I screamed as she
dragged me from the side of the car into the tree line, clinging to the
dirt all I could grab were the fallen leaves. I began to lose my grip on
everything I touched every branch broke between me and my wrist hurt to
much to grab anything hard. Desperate to escape I screamed louder, she
stopped walked over next to my head, she straddled my body leaned over
my face my vision became blurry, my ears popped all in a loud raspy
voice I heard “Helter Skelter”!
