Scratch

A story I'm making, here's the first part, I'll probably update it



It was late at night, footsteps could be heard across the vast, desolate road. A kid was running, glancing behind him every now and then sweeping his eyes across the black fog behind him. Suddenly a loud bang went off as flashing lights appeared along the horizon, the kid increased his pace. The flashing lights were gaining as he sped along a ragged bridge, Then a CRACK and the rope snapped, it's thin threads flying all over the place. The boy plunged towards the cold depths of the river underneath him, the air whipping through his air as he continued gaining speed. The flashing lights came to the edge of the bridge howling in frustration as they saw their victim getting away. The boy crashed into the water, as he was swept down the rushing river more lights had appeared on the bank of the river, suddenly a huge object fell from one of the skyscrapers on the edge of the river and made a huge splash, one of the drops hit a light and, the light fell then started losing it's brightness. As the boy floated to the edge of the river the lights started leaping over each other to get to him, as the first light came into clear vision the boy saw that they were dog-like fiends, with huge jaws, it's face was small and it's eyes glowed red, it's legs were huge and muscular, the claws on it's feet looked like they could cut through steel as the dog-like creature came closer, the boy smelled a stench that smelled of death, the creature pulled back it's head and lunged it's head towards the boys defensless body.

Mark woke up from his horrid dream, sweat pouring down his face, he looked across his tiny room, looking from his laptop on a desk in the corner to his soccerball on the floor, searching for the beasts. Finally convinced that they weren't there he checked his watch for the time, it said 2:39, "I better get back to sleep," said Mark quietly, as he lay down. There was a snap outside but Mark was already asleep so he didn't hear it. The next morning Mark woke up, he checked the time again, it was 7:21, he started to crawl out of bed, and went to the door at the corner of his room, as he went downstairs he heard his mom shout "Mark time to get up!", "I'm already awake!" Mark shouted back. As Mark had finished getting ready for school, he started towards the door, as he opened it a gush of cold air hit him in the face, fighting against the wind Mark managed to get out of the house and started on his way to school. As he was walking along the long windy path he didn't notice te glowing red eyes behind him. Mark finally made it to school and looked at his watch for the time, 8:57 "Oh no!" moaned Mark under his breath realising he was going to be late. Suddenly a shadow appeared behind him and Mark nervously turned around.
