Harassed

Alex, Jake and Chris sat outside of the Benson homes in fold-up lounge chairs, waiting for the 'Jeff/Creature' to come. Chris was just about ready to stand up and go inside when a familiar voice boomed out, "Well, isn't this cozy? All three of my frail little mortals huddled up together like helpless baby chicks." Chris stood slowly, resolutely, and took a couple of steps forward, Alex and Jake at her sides. She was assaulted by a toxic mixture of emotions; anger, fear, confusion. She forced a smile that she didn't feel and called out, "Hi Jeff, how are you?" When the Jeff/Creature didn't reply, She, Alex and Jake began walking, feeling as if it was more difficult to proceed with each step that they took. They reached the point as close to the creature as they dared to get. Before any of them could utter a word, however, the Jeff/Creature hissed, "I see you've got your boys with you 'Loser Bitch!' Do you really think that they can protect you from me?" Chris felt that there had been a rip or tear in the universe and a wave of evil as strong as the most intense gust of wind that had ever blown had just sunk through the crack and assaulted her. She was hit so hard by the incredible force of the statement that she stumbled back a couple of steps, then suddenly fell on the hard cement. She lay there, unconcious, oblivious to her surroundings.
