Be Eating You Pt II

It’s towards the end of Spring on a farm. A farmer and his two sons are putting up posts and scarecrows. It seems like a regular day that’s unwinding. The youngest is tasked with tying the scar crows on. Not noticing towards the very end there’s a very odd looking scarecrow with a long coat and different hat from the others. The Crows seem to be flocking to it instead of going away from it. No big deal they’re dumb birds. Curiosity gets the better of the kid though had he put a scarecrow there? He gets a better look at it and unless they’re skilled in making a huge life sized scarecrow with clawed feet it definitely doesn’t belong there. He feels inclined to stare at it for at least ten minutes before he decides to book it to tell someone. The scarecrow comes to life and latterly jumps him before he gets half way there. The dogs quickest to pick this up as they’re smarter on things like this. By the time the older brother and Dad realized the Youngers in trouble he’s being dragged by the neck by the stranger running at an unbelievably high pace before taking off in the air.

A long ways down a road winding through fields High School Students are celebrating an all win game on their way back to their school which is miles past the stretch of road. A blond girl named Minxy along with a player in the back are the only ones possibly not keen on celebrating. The buses tier is blow out abruptly and the driver, coach and teacher take a look at it. What they expect to see and what they find baffles them, instead of a nail, large piece of metal or even glass a Throwing Star made of sharpened bone with a tooth welded into it is embedded down to the metal. They take a brief break calling for assistance while the students carry on their bantering about the game. The lead star seems miffed he wasn’t in the play as much as he’d like. Your typical possible quarterback zeroing in on him and him. While tuned on the radio is a strange account of police reports an investigation of an abandoned church with horrific remains of people inside morbidly. Included in the remains are a prom couple thought to have died in a car crash three years ago who’s bodies weren’t found only the vehicle. They come to the conclusion to coast the rest of the way to a mechanic speaking you can’t just cajublah change out a bus wheel on the high way. There’s a reason it’s called a bus after all.

Minxy has strange dreams about dead boys and odd scarecrows that aren’t. It’s The Sixth Sense in a dream state as they tell her something that looks like a man wakes every twenty third Spring for twenty three days and eats passer byes on this stretch of road. She’s shown the strange silt house of a large man fist on a scarecrow pole then running through the fields and throwing something. She wakes up to the bus skidding out of control as the second back wheels now been blown by a similar object this time with a bellybutton with a rose tattoo at the center. Someone is throwing these at the rate a bullet is fired intentionally taking out the bus wheels. The three keep this thought to themselves advising everyone gets off to the side of the road while they think what to do.

When darkness comes things become even stranger as the coach, teacher and bus driver all disappear. One student sees a winged shadow grabbing them. There had to be a logical explanation as people don’t just fly away. A stranger comes wearing a long coat and hat attacking the bus taking the coach right out of the door and having so much strength he makes it actually rock like trying to shake tuna out of a fish can. Minxy has another vision when he leaves and tells them what she saw, apparently going from Lead Cheer Leader in twelve hours to physic. She can’t understand it herself but whatever took down the bus and took the teachers was not an ordinary person.

Creeper returns and plays some interesting Silent Charades as He picks out his favorites with very human gestures. Ironically none of the girls are picked, not even Minxy. In utter panic scrabbling somehow a javelins found on the bus floor. Questions can always be asked later when your life is endanger. The Creep can bleed but still keeps coming until he latterly gets it in the head for reaching his paws in. He all out crashes and breaks in the roof while breaking the glass. Everyone chills out as it looks he’s dead but there’s another problem, the doors won’t open not even the emergency door or hatch. Creeper jammed it to keep them in while they thought he was trying to get in. Creeper surprise heals himself at the expense of a student daring to fiddle with his dropped down wing. The appendage at the back of his head can detach and reattach at will from and to the head. If that doesn’t further scar the living crap out of you you’re not paying attention. In Creeps second disappearance they not only decide to split up but have “The Chosen Au Devers” unfairly stay behind. Still The Creeper gets most of those he chose before the farmer appears on scene with a hyped up Post Puncher made into Harpoon Launcher on the back of his truck. A split bus and over turned trucks the price for harpooning Creeper in the chest twice. He also winds up dismembered from going through a windshield and stabbed again before he falls into a catatonic state as the twenty second day comes into a close at midnight. The strange appendage stretching over the span of his head.

The Bat out Of Hell is put on display for the next twenty years at the cost of five dollars per person. The Farmer still keeps watch of the body as it started closing into the twenty third spring again. The Creeper hangs rigid and lifeless with crows flocking about it. 

In this continuation of the twenty Third Spring is still frightening as now The Creeper seems to have more tools and a wider variety of specimens to choose from. We also see he seems to have a knack of holding still for long periods of time convincingly on a post. The Chevy Trucks nowhere to be seen as it was possibly dumped when police did investigate the abandoned farm house. A physic is still present, though unwilling as it’s an ordinary teenage cheer leader that happens to start having strange dreams. The start of the story is still fallowed without bumps showing a little more light on the Creeper and having a potential hero step in to try taking him down.  Mr. Creeper won’t go easily even after being harpooned twice and going through a car window having half his limbs taken off. His Silent Charades is perhaps the most ironically amusing bit even if he does lick the bus window like it’s a giant twinkly with cream filling. No one can beat that happy grin of “yes you” and finger Pistol. How does he know these gestures and how to use them to silently convey who he wants? It does seem he’s been around a while and has picked up body language and social cues though he hangs out in the sticks. As he picks travelers this can explain it. Minxy is sympathetic as she just tries getting a nap while on a road trip then has visions of the Eyeless dead Derry and the blond farm boy trying to warn her the Creeper is targeting the bus and the whole Twenty Three Day Time Frame. It’s refreshing she isn’t chosen, gets away and flags down the very farmer whose youngest son was taken by the Creeper. She’s not a leader type but wants to help her friends and that’s what matters. To spite being undermined by the fact she doesn’t seem physic material. Minxy may have after effects of continually knowing when the Creeper will become active again and or her dreams will be filled with Derry and the teens and farm boy Creeper took out, poor girl.

The Teens choosing Survival of the fittest is a natural reaction to someone wanting to turn you into his next coat after having fun with you but sticking together seems the most important thing to cover each other’s backs. Everyone very welly knows Teenagers can be stupid don’t hold it against them as everyone was once a teenager. Some people having more common sense than others. It’s refreshing to have a dead serious monster terrorizing everyone in a kind of old style. No one is safe once chosen. However Minxy was smiled peculiarly at and she made it out. It was almost like he was saying “I know what you know, kid”

Pickes up Cultural aspects through the ages

I personally believe the creeper is possibly a gargoyle that lived very early on in the early hundreds. He adapted to his surroundings as his once home was taken over by other humans. By dressing like a man and driving an old nineteen forty one Chevy that may have had a previous owner he easily fits in. He’s choosy on who he picks but is race blind. He may have later found it was interesting toying with his victims to the point of prolonged torment, and subsequently keeping his victims around after they were dead by preservation taken from an Undertakers Book. He stays in the rural area because it’s all he knows and is the safest place to go back into his hibernate state of twenty three year intervals. Gargoyles may wake when they wish but they are made of Earth and in order to renew he may have to return to it one way or another because he is older and depends on it for life force as well as devowering parts of victims. Gargoyles also are known to be chimeras in some cases. Chimera types are even hartier than most regular gargoyles and can be even the more vicious. They can be welcomed by most birds especially scavenger birds like crows and ravens. Most Domesticated animals are frightened of them. An active Gargoyles presence can cause change in the atmosphere.

Another possibility is the Creeper was in fact human at a point in the Seventeenth Century. He may have already had mental issues manifesting and lived out in the country side. He may have had physical characteristics that was out of the norm and was untreatable at the time as well that was strange to people. He probably found a strange creature when he was younger that attached to the back of his head and slowly turned him into the creature he is now. An Extra-terrestrial or a Mutated specimen of symbiont, when the thing latched on him it mutated his very DNA. It may have tampered with his mind further giving him a kind of syndrome where he almost remembered being human but worked off of an animalistic instinct and urge. Exhibiting the traits of a sophisticated predator that could detect the pheromones emitted by humans when frightened. He would have gone on to making a layer of his own and preserving the victims body’s and the like. The eating of just organs may stem from the need of replacing his own that would wear out after a time and or be the habits of a cannibal. As adolescence and young adults are most useful and easiest to frighten and may even give him a twisted satisfaction of playing cat and mouse. He still wears clothing and drives his Chevy truck using as but a means of transportation and terrorizing passerby’s. Jeepers Creepers may have been one of his favorite old tunes or the artist of the song was his favorite and so he still listens to it on the old phonograph. The Symbiont may have a hibernate state of Twenty Three Years and rises in the Spring only for twenty three days thus it’s host body does the same. When time runs out above or below ground both go into the hibernate state by the twelve hour of the end day. 

He may have also  been possibly Cursed into becoming a dark other worldly creature that exists between this Reality and Another. He may vaguely remember being human but can’t connect to anyone anymore. He comes every twenty three Years for twenty three days to hunt for sustenance that humans uniquely provide. He has the power to influence the reality about him in order to move about in ours yet still push past our reality’s limits. He imitates being a human through the clothing he wears which is reminiscent of an old west out law and folds up his wings yet is still impressionably large and menacing. Because of the fact he lives so long and can’t be fatally injured He has quit a bit of a cocky ego. He usually targets adolescence and young adults as preferred choice but will have adults that appeal to him. His simple joys have become listening to his phonograph with old records while he works preserving his victims morbidly and crafting parts from them; also toying around with his possible food.
