Author's Note: Just a simple and short story. You might find it so corny,
but I guess you can read after all.
It was very late in the evening and Yanagi and Recca had just finished their candlelight dinner date at a far restaurant. It had been a relaxing night for the two.
Now they are driving home. It was traffic by the main city road, so they decided to go their way home by the hi-way. Wherein cars are not very much seen, and there are less lightposts, less houses and just two gas stations.
At the car.
"Recca." Yanagi spoke, as she twisted a hair around her fingers.
"Yes, my princess?" he asked while driving.
"Thank you for bringing me to dinner tonight. I had a great time."
"Yeah. You're welcome. And thank you too, for coming with me tonight." He gratefully said. When he was about to change the speed of the car, Yanagi touched his hand.
"I love you, Recca." She said.
Recca's face flushed red with joy and anticipation to hold her close to him when she steps out of his car and he accompanies her to the porch of her majestic house.
"I love you too, my princess. So much that I would die for you if you do so ask."
Yanagi removed her hand in shock when an eerie beep broke their silent but coimpassionate talk.
Recca's senses flew back to normal and he checked what stupid sound destroyed the beautiful moment they had together. He saw the gas warning. It was already empty. So he checked if the station was somewhere near their position. He saw a sign saying "Gas station, 25 meters ahead."
"Yanagi, there's no more gas. I need to run for the gas station. It's somewhat near here." Said Recca.
"Wait!"
"What?"
Yanagi quickly pulled Recca to her and gave her a deep, passionate kiss.
Recca liked it and gave in.
Yanagi held his nape well and rubbed her fingers on it.
Recca pulled away.
"Take care, my love." She waved.
Recca took the keys from the wheel and put it in his pocket. "You too, princess. I love you. Lock the doors, okay?"
"I love you too. Sure I'd lock them."
And as Recca set off to get some gas, she quickly locked all the doors and double-checked them. She sat there waiting.
After some more minutes...
Yanagi checked her watch.
"It's almost an hour. Why isn't he back yet?" she asked herself.
Sooner she saw an image, a figure moving in step-by-step closer to their car.
The figure is wearing a black suit soaked with blood. Carrying a scythe with it.
Yanagi knew the door is locked. So she wasn't scared.
"The door is locked. The door is locked." She chanted to remove away the remaining fears.
The figure smiled and took more steps forward to Yanagi.
Yanagi seemed more frightened now. "The door is locked. The door is locked." She repeated for the second time.
The figure laughed now. And took again more steps forward to reach the car.
"The door is locked. The door is locked." She said for the third time.
When the figure was almost close to the car, it raised its left hand.
Guess what's in his hand?
The figure laughed and twiddled the carkeys in his bony fingers.
Yanagi understood now why the figure laughed and she shrieked in extreme horror and fright.
So...is your door locked?
Author's NOTE: Well, nuff said. I can't seem to concentrate well. But that's so much for now.
