Skylar said, sitting in the passenger seat. “See.” Kayla placed her phone in front of her. “Read the text. ‘Bring your cousin.’ I think Mason will be there. This is great. It will be a double date.” “I do need to talk to him. What are we going to see?” “I don’t know. You’re okay with any movie, right? I know you don’t like to watch scary movies.” “I’m sure it will be fine. Just keep your eyes on the road,” Skylar said, feeling nervous, driven by the thought of seeing Mason again, but she needed answers. Something paranormal had happened that night, and though she tried to pretend that it didn’t just to stay sane, she couldn’t help thinking about the beasts. “Vultures” was what Mason called them, but to Skylar they were monsters—hideous, freakish, stinking, straight from hell creatures. After Kayla parked, they got out of the car and headed into the theater. The parking lot was pretty empty, but then again it was Monday night. From what Skylar could remember, Monday was the slowest night for moviegoers, even during the summer, especially in this small town.
