A young women, sat at a desk, art supplies scattered around the surface. Dazed, memories of a man in all black played in her mind as he walked through the missing gaps in her memory. He stood infront of her, then disappears. The bedroom's door was then kicked open and she snapped out of her gaze and falling out of her chair and onto the ground.

"LAUREN!" The Girl screamed her name, out of breath

"Holy crap Claire! you scared the hell out of me!" Lauren yells at her friend, stil lying on the ground

"Well I wouldn't need to if you answered your phone!" Claire snaps back her friend

"You broke my phone last week...from trying to get a picture of him" emphasizing the last word

"oh...well...sorry for that and for leaving my shoe print on your bedroom door..." sheepishly saying

Lauren pushes herself up from the ground and sits on the edge of her bed. "Well, what do you need?"

"Urban legends!" Caroline teasingly replied.

"Urban legends?" She signed in disappointment.

"Yes! urban legends! As in..."She paused.

"As in what?" Lauren asked, showing interest in her friend.

"...The man in the cloak."

Lauren throws herself back on her bed and grunts aloud. "Why! Out of everyone I know! Why must you be so obsessed with him! He saved your life once!"

"yes but why? does he love me?" Emphasizing the word.

"Well maybe it wasn't him! Maybe it was a urbposter!"

"An urbposter? You named those people who disgust themselves as urban legends urbposter get a glowing red eye? But my resources tell me-"

"who happens to be my older brother, your boyfriend,some police officer. Oh and there's Danni, the employee at the farmer's market.

"shut up! but here's what Danni told me. She saw him drive to the farmers market, and walked right in buying only a case of water, some herbs and bread then driving off into the black moon forest!"

"So what? He's grocery shopping!"

"Let's go find him!"
