Lili

"Calm. Down. Now."

The stern words, combined with her restraints forced Lili into sanity, even if it might be brief.

She gulped, tears still streaming. She was so shaken she didn't even have the conviction to glare at KJ's rough handling of her. Her perfect bottom lip trembling, Lili blubbered shakily, "Th-there was....this...this terrible m-monster! And..." she gulped again. She wiped her streaming eyes with a few of her fingers, smearing tears, mascara and blood on her fingertips and expensive nail polish. This she did examine with distaste. Distracted slightly by the mess on her hands, she continued, "I...I didn't get to see it...but I heard this s-strange m-music and, and then Sam c-called and Daisy went to give me m-my phone and...and then it ate Daisy!" Her last words crescendo-ed from the graphic memory of it, and she ripped her arms away from Sam's grasp to bury her face in her hands, sobbing once more.

Sam just looked on, horrified. "Where...is it now?" he asked tentatively.

"I don't know!" came Lili's muffled reply, as she shook her head, "I just ran as fast as I could, and then this idiot hit me with a car!" Now Lili withdrew her face from her hands and glared angrily at KJ, her mascara and eyeliner streaked down her face like little black trails. "You should really watch where you're driving, you know!" she shouted, "You fucking hit me! What's your problem anyways??" She tried to punch him, but Sam had re-grabbed her arms and was trying to reason with her. She resorted to kicking, but before she could stab her heel where it would hurt, her ears picked up a faint melody again.

"Oh no!" she squeaked airily, eyes wide with fright, "It's here! Fuck, it's here! I can hear it!" She wriggled in Sam's grasp.

Sam

Hear it? He strained his ears.

"What does it sound like?" he asked, body tense but not sure whether to move or not. It wouldn't be the first time that Lili had been paranoid about something. He didn't want to overreact in case it was just the police or something.

"It's this music! Can't you hear it?"

Music? "I don't hear anything," Sam said.

"It's because you're fucking drunk and stupid!" Lili shouted, trying to twist away from his and KJ's hold, "But I hear it, and it's coming closer!"

"No, seriously, I don't hear it!" Sam said, "But...I guess it wouldn't hurt to get back in the car?" He looked over at KJ.
