Urban Legend - My Creation

For English class in my school my friend and I were told that we had to write a short recreation of an urban legend that was between 300 - 400 words. We took the idea of a young couple who were driving to a remote location without anyone knowing. We researched some ideas and found the murderer idea to be a good start. This is our draft but I wanted to put it into the world to see if one day the story will some day come back and be told to me.

This is it. Enjoy.

A young teenage couple are Driving to Lovers Lake to get some privacy from their families and friends. They were driving down an old and disused road when the engine starts to shudder and suddenly stops. At that moment the music in the car's radio is replaced by an urgent news report. The reporter said that a serial killer has escaped from the jail that was near Lovers Lake. This serial killer had an accident whilst in the jail and had his hand replaced with a hook and was looking to use it as a murder weapon. The reporter said to stay away from areas such as Lovers Lake, anywhere near the jail and to stay inside until he was found as he was highly dangerous. 

The young girl started to get scared and begged her boyfriend to take her home immediately. He explained to her that in order to get home they would have to fix the engine and he began to get out of the car. The girl grabbed his arm and screamed "No! Don't get out of the car! We can call someone to come and pick us up but please don't get out!". The boyfriend waved away her warnings and got out of the car to try to fix the engine. 

Outside of the car everything was eerily silent. The black horizon didn't seem to faze the young boy but it scared the young girl. She waited patiently and nervously in the car until she decides that he has taken too long. Just as she was about to get out of the car to check on her boyfriend he gets into the car and quietly says "I fixed it. Lets go home.".

Her boyfriend was silent for the car trip and kept looking away from her and kept his face hidden underneath his hood. They stopped at a red light on the way home and she was just about to ask him if he was okay when she saw a glistening hook protruding from his jumpers sleeve. She gasps and the hook is slammed straight into her heart.
