The bus comes to a screeching stop...Clayton jumps up and hits his head
on the above luggage compartments. "fuck!" he looks over to his right
and there are two young girls probably around 10 to 12 years old staring at
him. "oh, I mean OUCH!" sits back down and realizes that this is his
stop...Bon Temps, Louisiana. He stands up, grabs his bag out of the compartment
and walks off the bus, thanking the bus driver. "Good luck, you're gunna
need it" the bus driver says to Clayton. The bus drove off down, what
seemed to be an endless dirt road. The sun was very hot and Clayton just wanted
to get indoors, he saw the welcome tourist station not a couple of feet away
from the bus stop. He went inside to get refreshed and call his cab. Clayton
was planning on visiting his sister Kelly. Since Kelly moved from there home
town St. Thomas, Louisiana she hadn’t kept in touch much with Clayton. At first
him and his family would hear from her almost every other day. Well that
quickly turned into once a month and now once or twice a year. She has been
living in Bon Temps for 3 years now.
Clayton's cab arrives and honks loudly as if he had been waiting
there for hours. He runs out to the cab and pulls out a crumpled piece of paper
from his pocket with Kelly's address. The cab driver knew the place. They were
on the road for almost 45 minutes and they finally arrived on the street.
"Hey Mitch's Bar & Grill!" said Clayton, he had herd the name of
the bar before Kelly used to speak of it. "You know this place?" the
cab driver said "you from around here? This town don't like tourists
much!" the driver said. "I'm here visiting my sister, it's a
surprise" Clayton seemed shocked at the drivers attitude.
"This is the place!" Clayton climbed out of the cab
and put his sun glasses on, the house was old looking and rather large, just
how Kelly had explained it to him a few months ago. He pulled out his luggage
and shut the trunk walked over too the cab window and pulled out his wallet
"how much do I-" he was cut off by a loud scream. A woman ran out
from the front door of the house screaming, a man who was covered in blood
followed her. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" yelled Clayton who was
obviously shocked by what was going on at his sister’s house. "HELP!
PLEASE HELP!" the woman yelled. The man stood on the front porch, he was
obviously injured he seemed to have a chunk of skin dangling from his face, it
was the kind of thing that you would only see in a horror film. The woman
grabbed Clayton’s arms and hid behind him, she was crying and shaking. The cab
drivers eyes became larger; he reached into the glove department and grabbed a
brown paper bag. He quickly revealed a gun from inside, jumped out of the cab
and pointed it at the bloody man He began running at the woman. The driver then
shot at the ground in front of him. He then stepped back, let out a loud scream
that did not sound human. He ran into the forest. "CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL
ME WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" Clayton yelled! The woman fell to the
ground crying hysterically "we need to get her to hospital" the
driver said. The Woman has a large scratch on her neck. Clayton knelt down
"what’s your name miss?" "Lena" she replied. Clayton put
her in the cab and told the cab driver to take her to the hospital. "Sir
what's your name?" "It's Warren" he replied "look warren
you need to take this lady to the hospital now okay? I can't come with you I
have to find my sister, here is" he dug through his wallet "100
dollars! That should cover it....GO!" Warren sped off with Lena in the
back seat.
Clayton is confused and scared for his sister. He runs into the
house and he slips on a big pile of blood as soon as he gets in the door.
"KELLY, KELLY? ARE YOU HERE!" No response. He then hears a car pull
up and shortly after he hears someone coming up the steps, he assumes its Kelly
and runs out onto the front porch. He is greeted Lauren "WHO THE FUCK ARE
YOU!!??" she says she then looks Clayton up and down and see's he is covered
in blood. Lauren let's out a small scream "LENA!" she runs full tilt
at Clayton and puts her hand over his face, a burst of light flies from her palm
as his eyes roll back and he becomes unconscious. Lauren jumps over his body
and drags him into the house.
Lauren calls Lena in a panic thinking this man has hurt her. She
answers and to Laurens surprise explains to her how he saved her life. Lauren
then sympathizes for Clayton and puts him on the couch with a warm moist towel
on his forehead. He begins to wake up. "Who are you?" Lauren asks
while she is sitting over him on a stool. Clayton is dazed but somehow feels amazing;
he begins to wonder what this girl had done to him. He remembered how it all
went down and without blunt force she somehow made him unconscious. "My
name is Clayton Burns and I am here to find my sister! I don't know who the
hell you are or what the hell is going on but my sister told me this was her address".
Lauren looked confused. "I have been living here for 5 years, this house
has been in my family's generation for century's...what did you say your
sisters name was?" "It's Kelly" Lauren stood up her face seemed flushed;
she put her hands over her mouth and her eyes began to tear up she kept shaking
her head. "What? What is it?" asked Clayton. Lauren turned around
"I'm so sorry" and ran out the door to her car" when she got
there she realized her keys were in the house. Clayton stood on the front porch
dangling the keys back and forth, Lauren slowly looked at him with tears
running down her face. Clayton looks at Lauren "WHERE THE FUCK IS MY
SISTER?"
