The Cursed Ones

“Hey mom, do you need anything? I'm going to the grocery store” Valery’s mother then exclaimed and said “No, don't go out, it’s not safe. Don’t even go out with your pack, it’s too dangerous. Please just take my word for it. I have a very bad feeling about tonight.” Valery then said in an angry tone, “Mom, you don’t understand, your normal you're the weaker one. I don’t care what you say, I am going to be safe. Don't you worry, I’ll be back home soon.” Valery then storms out the door and walks off away from her home and to the grocery store. *After a few hours passed by and Valery calmed down* Valery entered the store looking around to see if there were some people still left at the store and, luckily, there were six people left. They looked a bit fishy because they kept watching her. Valery keeps to herself, and gets the stuff she needs and goes up to the cashier. She checks out and pays for her groceries and then she walks out the door. As Valery started to walk away from the grocery store, she heard walking coming from behind her. But there possibly,and most definitely, was nobody behind her. She started to pick up her pace but the sound suddenly stopped. She turned around to look if somebody was behind her but there was still nobody. Valery continued to walk back home, but a dark figure was blocking the sidewalk. “Uhm excuse me, but could you possibly move your kind of blocking my pathway? I'm trying to go back home”, Valery exclaimed. The dark figure started walking closer to Valery, and said in a deep male voice, “You are not going anywhere, but with me Valery.” “H-Ho-How do you know my name mister?” Valery said nervously. The dark figure stepped out into the street light showing himself to Valery as he grabbed Valery’s arm, and slid something into one of the grocery store bags. He smirked and said, “Come on, follow me if you don’t want to die, Valery.”
