The Night to Remember

One night, two girls about the age of 15 decided to go for a quick walk through the neighborhood. It was a dark night in October and the the moon was barely shining, and not a star was in the sky. Suddenly, a thick, spooky fog rolled in. It completely covered what could be seen of the moon. Abbie looked over at Alexia and asked, “Can you see anything? Because I can’t see where we are.”
“No, I can’t see a thing.” Alexia answered. “I didn’t expect this fog tonight. It didn’t mention it on the weather channel this morning.”
“I didn’t think it had. Hmm…I guess it’s one of those weather man mistakes or something.” Abbie said thoughtfully.
“Yeah, it must be.” Alexia said with a hopeful look on her face.
Suddenly, Alexia gasped.
“What’s wrong?” Abbie asked with a worried look.
“Look over there.” Alexia said as she pointed to their left.
As Abbie followed the direction that Alexia was pointing in, she saw some bushes. She saw big green eyes and heard a loud, strange noise. All she could do was freeze.
