YELLOW EYES

PROLOGUE    
      
THE DREAMS BEGINNING
     
      
It’s evening night…..      
      
City life still goes on even if it’s quiet…      
      
I feel safe in this part of town. I love seeing street movement and animals walking to each corner for refuge to mark their territory.      
There’s always patrols to watch out for crimes out here. So I have no worries…      
      
It’s been a long day. It’s 6 pm and my friends dropped me off at a vintage store. Nothing seems out of the ordinary,  just another simple day.      
OR IS IT?…

A REAL NIGHTMARE DREAM      
BY NANCY RDZ…      
ENTER AT OWN RISK…
🐱      
      
      
      
IT WATCHES ME     
        
 
  I had just stepped out of the vintage store. (A bell sounds as the door opens)
 
Feeling great and nothing worrying me, I am done shopping for the day.  
 
As I walk out, I have a bag with a few items I purchased. 
 
The bag wasn't very big, like a small-medium goldish plastic bag with black plastic handles. I didn't have a purse as I had jean pockets to put my money in, that way fewer things I can carry. I used to carry so much stuff in my hands, leaving my arms sore at times cause the purses would be so heavy. It would even be a hassle to deal with, so this time I went shopping without anything. The Brown vintage plastic bag was pretty nice and it looked like a purse anyway, so it's like I didn't have to fret about not having one.  
 
As I go to the car parked amongst other vehicles, I see to my right side a huge dark grayish or black feline. It is just sitting near the edge on a straightforward looking sidewalk that's part of the store's premises.  
 
"How strange"... I thought to myself...
Anyhow... I try going on about my business...
"It's just a cat"... Like others just prowling around the city...  
 
As I tried avoiding it, I couldn't help but still gaze at it attentively for the way it looked at me wasn't feeling good at all and this is where I was forced to dwell on it.  
 
I was freaking out and trembling as I was about to head to the vehicle where my friends awaited me. When I saw it, it was an unbelievable huge size feline that contrasted from ordinarily measured felines. For me, it was nothing normal and it frightened me a great deal particularly its size.
 
Terrifying me highly, I kept my eyes on it and it would continue taking a gander at me and just making me feel quite uneasy about it. I honestly didn't want to move much because of the way it just stared back.
 
I was solidified up as I stood. Scarcely moving and attempting to reach the back door on the right side of the vehicle.
 
Such a misfortune for my ride, as it was beside the wicked cat making it much harder for me to draw near. My heart beating fast and my body trembling, I felt chills and I didn't want my panic attacks to start either. So I just calmed myself breathing in and out but my mind kept on alert on the big cat.
 
How is that even possible for a cat to be so big?
I know it's a stray cat or maybe I'm wrong but looks like it has been eating well too. What could it have eaten to get so big? Did it eat many mice? Does it have an owner it goes to get nourished and well maintained? This cat has so much dark mystery that only hangs me in wonderment and scared too.  
 
My little theory was to avoid getting too close to the cat cause it being so huge for its size, I felt it would try harming me.
 
"How could I outsmart this?"
 
Frozen in fear, I could barely move...
 
My legs felt so stiff like a tree stance and my body too, for the fright had overpowered me and dropped my faith into a puddle of weakness...
 
I felt powerless and I felt like jello too for my mind was thinking the worst to happen and I truly believed that. All I knew is, I had to think fast and make any choice I made to count.  
 
At that moment, I quickly decide to make a small dash for it. I didn't want the cat catching up to me and do who knows what.....
 
The cat's yellow bright eyes felt very locked into mine. I didn't like how it kept staring at me, so I tried keeping my distance as I slowly try to reach for the door's handle without making a sound. Praying the door doesn't start to creak, I try to gently open it.  
 
......................
 
......................
 
Relieved as I'm now able to grasp the latch...
 
Gradually applying pressure with my hands trembling...
 
IT WATCHES ME...
 
......................
 
Observing my every move, with much caution. I maintain a strong focus on the cat's BIG BRIGHT YELLOW EYES. It only made me very nervous as it none stopped eyed me. Making me feel cold dropping chills up my spine...
 
Just those yellow eyes were enough to know its dark intentions. It's deep reasons for why it marked its visage unto me. Feeling nothing but goosebumps as it endlessly glared without compassion.
 
I've never felt so much fear as this and especially from a cat?...
 
"So they say cats are harmless--ha"... What about this cat? This cat doesn't look so friendly at all as it looks like it wants to do more than purr around my legs...
 
Breathing deeply......
 
Uhhhuhhhhhuhhh uhhhhhhuhhhhhuhhh......
 
.....................
 
SLOWLY OPENS THE DOOR...
 
Reeeeeeee--ikkkkk.......
 
( THE DOOR CREAKS BADLY MAKING THE CAT FEEL MORE DISTURBED)
 
The black cat starts to low meow and growl in a drawn-out angry way. It makes lots of movement with its head motioning it up and down, like a bobblehead figure you put in your car dashboard. It then attempts to step down off the sidewalk curb...
 
...................
 
I have to now think rapidly for the cat wasn't wasting any time or playing with me either. This was more than a cat and mouse chase. This was catch and die mission. I undoubtedly, don't want to die, so I needed to act quickly since that cat was emerging closer towards me.  
 
It may be superstitious my thinking but I now believe that cats are simply bad luck if one crosses your path. They now appall me and if I get out of this cat mess, I will never want to evolve around them EVER!!!....
 
I make haste opening the door, I rapidly toss my things inside and I quickly hop into the car, shutting the door.
 
....................
 
 
   
  RAISE IT UP!!!    
   
  I was very happy to finally be inside the car, I felt much safer. I felt my nerves and heart calm a little more. At least for the moment, I wanted to believe things were a little better. So I smiled as I sat in the car. I rested my back against the seat.

~Laughing to herself in a losing it kinda way~

I out beated that stupid cat!!! Hahaha....

~ Nancy mutters to herself ~

I'm human for crying out loud.... Humans are smarter then animals when it comes to making bold choices...

An animal and especially a cat can't think like a human, No... there's just no way of that... Nancy, Nancy you are smart and you even have a child, a lovely little princess who looks up to you like a hero or even as a queen. She sees you strong and wants to follow you to your examples. A single mother doing also the role of a father, which isn't easy and you work as a professional hairstylist. You are just a bright intelligent beautiful woman, that has it together out there. "You can't let a cat change that." "Besides," cats only have 9 lives verses a human that lives longer then cats anyways ha ha....
  
~The driver the whole time stared at Nancy just talking to herself and without the slightest clue of what she was talking about but figured she was a little looney since he had no idea there was a huge cat outside that tormented her but since she was inside the car, he didn't know she was happy about that.~

Nancy slouches down letting out a relieving breath

But....

All the joy ends once I noticed something unexpected next to me...
Hopes of being safe in the car was reaching its true reality.
As I gaze up still smiling, The smile slowly changes leaving me gaping instead with so much worry...
I realized the window... "The window was not ok what-so-ever"...

It was about midway open and that was very bad. I knew if the window doesn't get raised, then the cat
could get in. That cat can't be underestimated never know what it can possibly do.  Nervously, I uttered to the driver, my friend, I call him to get his strong attention. (A man in his thirties with a medium-thick beard and some heavyweight.) He never really spoke much and was taking his time to even react or turn the car on. Another person was on the passenger side as well. A woman in her thirties in age too. She never spoke, she was sitting, and if she was talking it was in a discreet manner with the driver "only" but I never heard her say anything.

I'll give the names of Bill and Becky. I direct to them very terrified, RAISE THE WINDOW PLEASE!!!
Bill looks at Nancy through the rear mirror and sees that she looks very unsettled. (Nancy is very disturbed and jumpy as she keeps looking through the window. She is once again nervous and this time a bit more.) He sees her looking out at something. He gives a quick gaze around while staying put in the car but he doesn't see anything alarming. He then says...
Ok but Why? I see you scared or am I wrong? "What's happening?
Reclining sideways on the seat trembling, Nancy states with a firm voice;
....................

There's a huge black greyish cat outside and it'll come inside unless you raise the window but you have to do it now!!!

Bill goes on obeying without questioning and raises the window. (Nancy feels better as she sees Bill raise the window however she realizes he leaves it only about two inches open. That was not a good enough or was she just being mentally paranoid at it inching and still gapped for anything to get in like flies, mosquitos, spiders, or perhaps a cat???)

Exaggeration is the last thing to assume or bring about as a concept.

To think negative is to jinx the whole purpose and not leave any room for anything positive as Nancy needs.

Everything that happened in the moment is what would cross Nancy's mind and left hanging on a limb later without a solution at that moment.

So now the problem was that the window wasn't high enough and now she was fearing that in her hands, was this just a puffery act?

Nancy reacts very disturbed and keeps thinking about the problematic on the window issue


It wasn't sealed how the window should be, but in the end I felt it was ok since it was a tremendous size cat. Logically, I felt there was no way it could fit in a two-inch spared space. So I felt confident and very sure of things. Everything would be ok now.

How can things get any worst?

Things can't get any disastrous as being in the car is a good commodity and should feel safe...


Thinking to myself…
{Nancy stop worrying so much! What ever happened to animals not thinking like humans? Have you forgotten that or was that just a a lie to convince yourself of something that never would happen even though you feel it would but never will?

Look nothing is gonna happen... You are overreacting and especially the window left inches open... That cat doesn't think like a human and it is highly impossible for that cat to make way through that small crack on the window. You need to relax and get yourself together cause its a nice evening and besides you bought some very delicious chocolate-covered pecans made of pure honey wrapped in gold foil wrappers that actually are very healthy cause they don't have sugar.}
Nancy gets a grip of herself saying, "yes, that's right? I forgot about the elegant candies that I bought in the vintage store. The candies are expensive but so worth it from last time I bought them. I'm so glad that this time I bought four spending $35.00 and that's what I'll do right now, eat one and it should calm my nerves.

She reaches for the bag…

Suddenly.....
.......................


        
✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒     
   
   
   
   
 THE GLASS TERROR     
   
BANG!!!!!!  
   
The damn feline hops towards the window.....  
She doesn't reach for the purse any longer as she now is too petrified to sense to anything. All her thoughts about not worrying were after all not true and not even sweets could keep her from panicking.  
Shocked in fear Nancy reacts moving backwards and shouts...  
OH MY GOD!!!! IT WANTS TO GET IN!!!! SHUT THE WINDOW ALL THE WAY UP NOW!!!  
My fears were getting the best of me and I tried to calm as I did recall the window being opened to where it just be impossible for it to get in. Still, The more raised the better and harder for it to make way inside.  
   
Bill sees the feline and frenzies...  
Bill is speechless and couldn't seem to believe what he was seeing.  
   
Now he was beginning to understand her strange reactions she kept making as he saw her through the rear mirror. He was trembling in fear as he captures the cat's big unbelievable size. His eyes widen as he remained frozen for a minute snaps out of it. He tries to get Becky's attention and warns her about a strange big black cat surrounding the car and trying to get in through the back right window.  
Becky never said anything but soon caught on after realizing there is something very wrong but she never saw the cat, as Bill did. Becky attempts to help get the window raised however she is either battling or is taking as much time as is needed and I'm in dread with the feline hopping onto the window attempting to get in.  
After a little delay in getting the window raised, Becky finally managed to raise it but only an inch smidgen.  
THEN.....  
......................  
Silence surrounds them like if it was sharks circling them without any harm being attempted.  
Silence can be good but most of the time it can be bad and in some cases, it is completely odd and filled with lots of darkness to expose from its sealed lips.  
It all of a sudden resembled the feline was gone and there was absolute quietness. Just the solid breathing of their lungs wheezing from all the franticness that happened simultaneously.  
Now nothing was to doubt or be skeptical about. There was no room for anyone to think otherwise as the depraved was not caring who saw it.  
Leaving the window as it is, they sit and try to calm down while all looking out the windows but with no luck of the cat to be seen. Was it finally gone?  
......................  
10 seconds later......  
   
Kaplonk!!!......  
   
The cat jumps onto the window in a resting hovercat position, as all four paws could be seen through the glass. Seconds then, the black beast quickly falls and didn't take long before the cat jumps again and this time reaches the window glass edge and holds on to the window gripping on good with its paws. Nancy highly jump scares from it, as she stares at the window with her eyes maintained in a locked sitting stance. Sadly with it being open, it was enough to allow it to hold on to it. Still, nothing to worry about, right? It's too small for that demon, they all felt.  
   
Nancy then says in a perplexed way;  
   
It's ok since Becky raised it a little more. I am sure it can't get in.  
I then get the most shocking surprise ever that I couldn't believe what I was seeing...  
My eyes were not prepared for the next insane coming...  
   
SOMEONE SAYS LOUD…  
.....................  
WHAT THE HELL!!!!  
.....................     
        
✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒✒     
        
   
   
YELLOW EYES      
   
The damn cat very determined...  
Was unbelievably trying to squeeze its head through the small opening of the window, with no more than an inch high left open.  
Nancy stutters in fright and says,  
It won't, it can't, I, I know it can't get in, right?  
The others don't respond, as they kept motionless in absolute mute, of all they witnessed...  
The cat continues as it struggles to get through it...  
However,...  
EVIL CAN NEVER BE UNDERESTIMATED  
With so much confusion and apprehension, Nancy says,  
I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES.....  
JESUS NO.....  
____________________________________  
THE WICKED EVIL CAT FROM HELL, SQUEEZED IT'S HEAD THROUGH THE SMALL OPENING. THE EYES LOOKING LIKE THEY'D POP OUT OF ITS EYE SOCKETS, AS IT STARES IN DEEP HATRED DARKNESS...  
____________________________________  
"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?"  
It growled and hissed in an angrily way...  
.........................  
NANCY'S THOUGHTS  
It looked like it desperately wanted to reap in and get me or perhaps eat me...  
.........................  
I'm very afraid, my friends had nothing to fear for the dark feline looked like it wanted me only. It never looked at them either. I feel I've been cursed and doomed with a demon from hell. Its reason for tormenting me wouldn't reach its end, until it gets what it wants, so with that being said, I can escape nowhere...  
......................  
I'm staring at it with so much fright. My heart is pounding hard but as terrifying as I felt, I still thought I'm safe since the evil cat could only manage to get it's head through.  
.......................  
Nancy continues to speak loudly in despair  
OH MY GOD!!!!!!  
......................  
NOOOOOOO!!!......  
......................  
Then insanely the next thing happens.  
......................  
......................  
THIS CAN NOT BE!!!!....  
GOD PLEASE NO!!!!  
......................  
The evil cat makes its way to what it wanted and was able to go through the opening with all its huge body completely.  
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱  
......................  
......................  
In extreme horror, Nancy hysterically wails out,  
THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!  
........................  
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭  
........................  
Scared to death she moves back and screams...  
The cat jumps inside and I saw a flash of its evil yellow eyes and its elevated tail, walking at a fast pace as it passed me on the floor. Looking straight at me with high madness growling and hissing, I now knew it would be the end of me...
