[Story] Can I Come In? – An encounter with one fo the Black Eyed Children

I never believed in urban legends, I always thought they were stories to scare little children from being to unruly. So when my friend told me that he encountered the so called "Black Eyed Children", I thought of it as nothing but complete crap - but I must admit it made me feel a bit uncomfortable.

The story goes like this. Jack (my friend's name) was just getting out of work late and on his way to his car he got an uneasy feeling but quickly brushed it of as he assumed it was just the fact that seeing that his car was the only one left in the parking lot creeped him out. When he got in however he dropped his keys on the floor so he had to scramble to find it. Finally after a few failed attempts Jack was able to grab hold of his keys and stick it in the ignition.

As Jack turned the ignition and his headlights started to flicker he was able to make out a small silhouette in the darkness ahead and when he finally managed to start his car he was spooked to see a little girl. Upon seeing the girl his fear was replaced with concern thinking that that little girl was left by her parents. He described the girl as being around 5 or 6 years old based on her height, was wearing a peach dress, had very pale skin and long black hair covering a part of her face making it hard for him to make out her facial features. He thought it was odd that the girl was very pale but she was outside in the middle of the night and it was cold so he thought nothing of it.

Keeping his eyes on the girl he unlocked his car and was about to go out to ask the little girl what she was doing in the middle of the parking lot alone, but something about the girl seemed odd to him. She didn't seem normal. She was motionless, as if unscared of almost getting hit by a car. What really sent shivers down his spine was her bizarre walk as she moved towards his window. It was slow as if she was strolling at the beach and her motion was stiff like a freaky robot. Needless to say Jack locked all his doors and was about to floor it but he still thought he was just overreacting so he didn't and just waited for the girl to reach his window - What a complete idiot right?

tap tap tap "Can I come in?" she had a soft and innocent voice, but the way she said those words made him feel uneasy.

Jack tried to get a better look of her but her hair was still covering most of her face and the way she positioned herself along the side of the car made it harder for him to see her face.

Jack trying to stop his voice from cracking out of fear answered "Where are your parents?" a few seconds passed and there was no reply. He tried again "Why are you alone? Where are your parents?".

silence

Then the girl now seemingly annoyed tapped the window louder and said "Can you give me a ride home? It's cold out here" her voice this time was no longer soft it sounded mature, demanding and lifeless.

Jack, stunned by her voice wasn't able to answer. He tried to look calm, trying to find an explanation to why a little girl would have the voice. It must've been just the wind he thought but something inside him was telling Jack to just get out of there.

He heard three more strong taps on the window and the girl, now facing Jack's window said "Don't even think of driving away. You will LET ME IN! I just want a ride home."

That was when he noticed her eyes - they were pitch black. This was when Jack new he had to get out of there so he slowly tried to reach for the clutch, the girl seeing this changed completely - she started banging on his window screaming out "LET ME IN!!" in an awful voice, he described it as hearing two voices together one of a woman and a man. This scared Jack shitless and he floored it and he was half way through the parking lot in no time. He tried to look back to see if the girl was following him but he said he didn't see the girl. She just disappeared.

As always, Thanks for reading and see you guys in the next one!
