Get out of the car!

It was a late winters night. I was driving down a one way road. It was raining pretty hard and I couldn't hardly see what was in front of me. Therefore I had to drive reasonably slow. A bright light flashed in my rear view mirror which caught my eye. I slowed right down and got out to see what was going on. I circled the car to see what i could see, but didn't.

I got back into my car and started the engine. As i looked up through the front screen there was a pram situated in the middle of the road. I didn't recall seeing this before. I got out of my car once again to move the pram out of the road to continue my journey home. I looked into the pram just to see a blue blanket neatly folded. I pushed the pram out of the road and walked quickly back to the car. I carried on as normal and continued to drive home.

As i was driving i noticed flashing in the rear view mirror again. It was the car behind me flashing and beeping at me. I stopped the car to see if they needed any help they seemed panicked. Three young teenagers jumped out of their can and came running towards my side window. At this point i was pretty scared i didn't know what they wanted. I was wishing i had never stopped. As i opened my window they immediately shouted "GET OUT OF YOUR CAR !"

I panicked and did as they asked. They ushered me towards their car and told me i was in danger. They said when i got out of the car previously to move the pram out of the road, they told me that they saw a dark figure exit from the trees and get in the back seat of my car. I panicked and rung the police. As I stood with the young boys the door of my car slammed and the engine started. The car was reversing straight towards us and sped off in the opposite direction.

The scariest moment of my life if the boys didn't save me who knows where I'd be now.
