Chapter 8 -- Chased
They spend the first few minutes walking in complete silence, looking around nervously at every moving shadow. The truth it that they were all pretty freaked out from what Darnell and Shanice had told them about people running around in the street, chasing each other. It had almost sounded like a scene from some cheesy horror movie Brandon had seen a couple of weeks earlier.
"Goddammit, Tyler! You and your parking paranoia. That guy Darnell's story's got me freaked out of my mind right now," Alyssa scolds her brother. "I swear to God, if we get chased and killed, I'm going to rip you a new one."
"Chill, Alyssa," Tyler says, holding up his hands defensively. "You never know if the cops are staking out the place, ready to jump on anyone that leaves."
"It's not like they couldn't just follow us to your car on foot, you know," Alyssa huffs.
"Look, we're almost there," Tyler says, sounding slightly annoyed. "It's just over there around the corner. You don't have to..."
As they round the corner, the parked car comes into view a couple of yards down the street. Tyler swallows his words when he sees a number of shadowy figures surrounding his car. In the dim streetlight, Brandon can see their bodies are slightly twitching and jerking. The way they were moving almost seemed... unnatural.
One of them is only wearing briefs, and Brandon's eyes grow wide as he sees the state this man's body is in. The entire left side of his back is one bloody mess. Parts of his flesh just seem to be torn off somehow. One leg is also missing a large chunk of flesh. There are two others who do have clothes on. But Brandon can tell they weren't in any better condition. The clothes are ripped and covered in dark stains in several places.
The three of them just stand there for a few moments, not sure how to react to this scene. Brandon can hear gasps coming from his companions, which draw him out of his stupor. "Hey, let's just turn around and head back to Darnell's place." Brandon whispers, while motioning for them to follow him back the way they came. He already sees Alyssa starting to whimper and hopes she can keep it together until they're out of sight.
Suddenly, another dude walks out from the alley that was right by his car. As he walks into the dim streetlight, Brandon's jaw drops, and he freezes in his tracks. The new dude's completely naked. His tall body was really pale. The skin seems like it's shimmering in the streetlight somehow. What has Brandon's frozen in place, though, is the sight of the guy's enormously raging cock and the huge balls hanging a good 10 inches below. Brandon can hardly grasp what he's seeing. What's protruding from the man's lower abdomen is possibly the largest cock he has ever seen. An unnaturally pale shaft with a dark and extremely swollen mushroom was glistening brightly in the streetlight.
While turning around, Tyler steps on a can that was laying by his feet, and the sound shatters the street's silence. All the figures that are standing by his car suddenly freeze and turn their heads towards them simultaneously. Low grunting noises can be heard coming from the group. The tall man slowly turns his head towards the trio and quickly narrows in on Brandon.
Alyssa gasps and Tyler starts pulling her back. They're already three or four steps away when Brandon can finally tear away his eyes from the tall guy. He turns around and starts running to catch up with the others. As the guys surrounding the car start charging towards them, Brandon calls out to Alyssa and Tyler. "Run you guys, they're coming!"
The group chase the trio through one street, but after cutting down an alley, they seem to have lost their pursuers. They come out into an empty street with dark houses on their side and low apartment buildings on the other. In their hurry to get away, Alyssa and Tyler had run the wrong way, and Brandon saw no other option except to follow them. Calling out again didn't seem like a good idea at the time.
Brandon suddenly hears faint music and conversation coming from down the street and points toward it. The other two follow his gaze and nod when they hear it too. Slinking through the shadowy front yards of the houses along their side of the street, they make their way forward as quietly as they can. After walking through a couple of front yards, they spot a dim light shining out of an open window. It's set in the first floor of one of the buildings on the other side of the street.
As they approach further, they hear music and lively banter coming from it. Someone is standing in the window, looking at their phone. Just as they get to the house across the street from the apartment building with the open window, they hear rushing footsteps coming from the backyard of the house.
Brandon starts pulling the others toward the street and out of the shadows. Just as he's about to yell for help, his group is tackled by a dark shadow, seemingly jumping from the house. They all fall onto the street and quickly 2 more guys jump on top of them.
Brandon is so shocked by this that he hardly offers up any resistance at first. Cold and slick hands grab hold of his arms and hold him in place. When he finally does try to break free, he's pulled back with such force that his head smacks onto the hard pavement below him. Through blurred vision, Brandon sees the two others turn to Tyler. He tries to scream, but he can't seem to find his voice.
One of the attackers bites the inside of Tyler's thigh, causing blood to start rushing out. Tyler does scream, but the other guy straddling him goes for his neck and bites down hard. Tyler's scream quickly turns into a gurgle. While this is happening, Brandon is frozen in place, his brain refusing to process what he's seeing.
