Ok, I don't normally write horror fics… and haven't wrote any form of fic recently. But hey, got nothing to loose by writing down some ideas anyway. This is based on the Jeepers Creepers films, I watched them before going to bed and this is the result! So some (in fact most) of it hasn't really been planned out yet. Oh well I'll put up a chapter and see what people think.
Constructive criticism is welcome as long as its not simply 'this is crap' or something along those lines, explain why you think that and how you think I can improve. Ideas and suggestions are also welcome.
Disclaimer: I think we all know that I don't own the creeper from the Jeepers Creepers movie, if I did why the hell would I be writing ideas on here? I'd make them into a proper film. However, I do own some of the characters who are in this fic.

Chapter one
Rain pounded down onto the roof of the car as it drove through the long winding road surrounded by open farmland that seemed to stretch on for miles and miles. Three figures sat in the shelter that the small car provided. Two in the front and one in the back.
In the front drivers seat was sat an eighteen year old boy, his dark blonde hair swept back off his face so that his cool blue eyes were visible, next to him in the front passenger seat was a small framed female with long, white blonde hair. She was currently complaining about the rain pouring down around them, much to the dislike of the only conscious person in the back of the car. A girl with long dark hair with a fringe that fell to partially cover her bright blue eyes.
"Lizzy, for Gods sake will you stop whining?" the dark haired girl in the back asked the blonde in the front after she had had more than enough of the constant complaints. "I will not! Its cold and its raining! Tell her Danny, she's your sister!" "Cut it out both of you. Lizzy… could you just give it a rest for five minutes? Your making it hard to concentrate on the road. And Kat, please stop having a go at her, you know its hard for me to take sides between you two." Danny answered, clearly annoyed at both of them.
Lizzy made a 'humph' sound and turned away from Danny to face the window completely while Kat just rolled her eyes and glanced out of her own window. Sure tough choice, stick up for your little sister or some girl you've known only a few weeks… she thought moodily to herself as the car continued on its journey through the darkness.
She continued to stare out of her window, why did I agree to this? Go on a road trip with your brother and his idiot girls friend who wont shut up about the storm? With no one else to talk to. What else could POSSIBLY go wrong?
Almost as if on cue the car lurched to the right as if it had been hit on the side by something extremely large. Lizzy screamed as the car then lurched to the left like the other side of the car had also been hit. "What the hell is going on!?" Danny half asked as he tried in vain to get the car back on course. Kat moved to look out of her window but couldn't see a thing through the pitch black on the other side of the glass.
Suddenly the car lurched again, this time Danny lost control of the steering and the car spun out of control of the road completely. The window next to Kat smashed showering shards of glass down on her cutting into the skin of her arms and face. If there was ever a time to be grateful for all the open space now was the time. With nothing to crash into the car eventually slowed to a complete stop on its own.
Kat lifted her head and glanced around checking that the others were all okay before she kicked her door open and stepped out of the car along with Jack and Lizzy. "shit, Danny!" she ran round the front of the car and flung the drivers door open to find that Danny was absolutely fine other than a little dazed. She helped him out of the car and into the rain that was now starting to lighten considerably into more of a drizzle than the heavy downpour it had been not long ago.
"Great! Just fucking great! Now what are we going to do?" Lizzy shouted as she walked away from the car, flailing her arms around as she ranted about absolutely everything possible. "Are you okay?" Danny asked Kat as he finally stood up strait to hold his own weight onto to collapse down again. "yeah I'm fine, don't worry, but it doesn't look like you are," Kat replied looking at his knee which looked swollen already.
Suddenly there was a swooping sound, much like a large bird swooping down toward the ground and then there was silence. Wait… silence? Its too quiet… where's… Kat looked over to Lizzy to see that she was no longer in sight. "Lizzy!" she yelled her tone annoyed, where the hell had the idiot gone off to now? There was no reply as Kat helped Danny to sit back down before she walked away from the car. "Lizzy where the hell are you?" she yelled her voice echoing in the darkness. No response. "Lizzy!" Danny yelled, his voice far more desperate than his younger sisters, "where are you?" he called as he struggled to his feet and limped towards Kat. "Danny, don't be stupid, you go sit down I'll find her" Kat said quietly walking forward, further away from the car.
Suddenly there was a crash behind them as something hit the front bonnet of the car causing the windscreen to smash. The pair spun around to see a body laying on the front of the car. A body with long blonde hair…
Danny yelled and ran, as best he could with his injury, towards the body but Kat stepped forward grabbing his arm. "No, Danny, I don't like it, I don't think it's a good idea to go over there." the whole thing seemed to much like it had all been planned out already and that things could only get worse from here. However her brother only tugged his arm free and continued limping towards the car. "I don't care, I think its Liz" he muttered shrugging her away yet again when she tried to drag him back.
Kat watched as her brother limped as quickly as he could towards the smashed up car desperately trying to call him back. This whole thing seemed to much like some kind of trap for her liking. As she watched Danny got to the car and walked slowly around to the front of it, suddenly he spotted the body that had fallen seemingly from nowhere and screamed. "Danny!" Kat yelled running forwards towards him, she already knew what, and who he had seen, the flash of blonde hair she had spotted along with Lizzy's sudden disappearance had been enough of a giveaway for her to work it out.
She only made it a few steps when a figure dropped down in front of her, seemingly from the sky above, and caused her to skid to a sudden stop. The figure, surrounded by shadows, turned slowly so that he was facing her making Kat gasp quietly and step back. Before her stood a man, at least a head taller than her, wearing a long, worn leather coat and a fedora hat, but there was just no way on earth that he was human… his face indicated that much. He smiled, showing rows of sharp, needle-like teeth.
"Kat…" Danny spoke, his tone panicked as the figure took a step towards her. She found that she couldn't move, a cold fear was coursing through her veins freezing her to the spot. Her fear seemed to intensify ten-fold when the man sniffed the air in her direction and grinned at her once again.
"Kat move!" her brother shouted as the figure took a second step towards her and yet she still couldn't make her legs move, the natural instinct of fight or flight wasn't present at all. Her eyes wandered lower and she saw a small, machete-like knife that appeared to be made of a carved ivory and it was in the figures clawed hand. She then knew immediately that was the reason behind her brothers panic.
"KATRINA!" Danny yelled loudly, "MOVE!" that seemed to work, only her parents had ever called her by her full name and they were long gone now, but hearing that name seemed to snap her out of her daze and finally her legs moved as she ran past the figure ducking under his outstretched arm and towards the car and her elder sibling. She chose to ignore the growl she could hear behind her along with the footsteps hot on her trail as she sped towards potential safety.
Danny pulled the drivers door open as Kat ran towards him as fast as she could and started the engine to the car. Kat got to her door and flung it open, diving into the car and didn't even have time to close the door properly before the car went speeding off up the road. Kat turned around in her seat to see that the dark figure was kneeling back where the car had been and seemed to be inspecting the dead body of Lizzy.
Danny glanced in his rear-view mirror before he pushed his foot further down onto the accelerator until the pedal hit the floor. Not that the car was travelling at any great speed, the engine wasn't exactly fantastic, not to mention they were in desperate need for more petrol. They would have to stop for more sooner, or later.

Well guys tell me what you think! Sorry if it was a bit choppy, I kind of wrote it a bit at a time and really can't be bothered to proof read it. It is my holiday after all. Anyway, the more reviews I get the more motivated I'll be to put up the next chapter. Although if I get really bored I'll put it up regardless.
