The Fog

Chapter 16

I wake up and look at the clock on Michael's nightstand, it was five in the morning. I sit up and turn to face him, I shake him a couple times and he slowly opens his eyes. "Morning sleepy head, we gotta get ready and head out." I get out of bed and start getting ready. I put on a pair of ripped jeans and I'm about to put on a ripped up tank top when Michael gets up and wraps his arms around my waist. He kisses my neck and I turn around in his arms.

"Do you need something," I ask wrapping my hands around his neck.

"No, I was just admiring my beautiful girlfriend." With that he pulls me into a deep kiss and pulls me closer to him."If we didn't have to leave right now I'd undress you and take you back to bed." With that he plays with the clasp of your bra.

"I wish you could but maybe later," I kiss him and finish getting dressed. I put my boots on and put my holsters and knives on my belt. I pick up my backpack and place it on my shoulders. Michael then comes over all packed up and dressed. He takes my hand and we leave his room. Before we leave the fortress I leave o note on the table wishing everyone the best and telling them we'd be back soon. We leave the fortress and enter the woods. We walk in the forest most of the day and set up camp in a cave.

"I can't believe we didn't find a single monster," I say making a fire in the cave and grabbing some food out of my bag.

"They must of gone into some hiding when the fog lifted." Michael opens a can and starts eating. We eat our dinner and start to plan we're we'll go next.

It's been a week and we've been all over Ohio and no monsters so we decide to go to Kentucky. We arrive at the bridge where I encountered the tree monster.

"Hey we should look around, I've encountered a monster here before," I tell Michael and as if on command the tree monster pops out of the woods and looks at us. It now has a tarp and other things wrapped around it to protect it from the sun. It looks down at me and charges at me. I quickly grab one of my pistols and start shooting at it. It slows it's pace and let's out a shrill shreik. I back up quickly and continue shooting. Michael comes up behind it and shoots it in the head, it shreiks even louder causing me to cover my ears. It then lunges towards my and knocks me off the bridge with its arm. I shoot it in the head several times as I go over and it's body goes limp and falls onto the bridge. Michael sees me and quickly runs to the side of the bridge and watches as my back smacks the water knocking the wind out of me. Michael quickly jumps in after me and pulls me out of the water and to the shore. I quickly spit out the water I accidentally inhaled and gasp for air. I couldn't move so Michael looks at my back and it's extremely bruised. He looks around and leaves for a minute and returns, he quickly grabs our bags and carries them somewhere and then returns and carefully picks me up. He walks over to a truck parked on the side of the road and gently puts me in the passenger seat and puts my seat belt on. He gets in the drivers seat and starts to drive off. We drive for a while and parks in a driveway, I look up to see my moms house. I tell him where the key is and he unlocks the front door and takes our bags in and then comes and takes me inside. My mom isn't home as she is with my dad Ethan at the fortress reconnecting so we have the house to ourselves. He carries me to my bedroom and carefully changes me into warm, dry clothes and puts the same cream that fixed my ribs on my back. I then tell him where my brother's room is so he can change into some dry clothes. I rest that evening and feel great the next morning and surprise Michael by making him breakfast in bed. "Well you're feeling a lot better," he says finishing his breakfast.

"I'm feeling so much better and I owe so, how can I pleasue you?" I ask him as I take his plate and quickly do the dishes and clean up.

"Well it's been a while since we've had some real quality us time." With that he wraps his hands around my back and slides his hand up my back and unclips my bra. He smirks and kisses me passionately leading me into the bathroom and locking the door.
