The Lake

The Hiker

"C-Connor?" I asked shakily. "What" he grunted. "S-Sarah." Connor jumped up in alarm and took hold of my shoulders. "Is- is she d-dead?" I nodded my head shakily.Connor looked devastated. "Can I sleep with you?" "Fine" he replied. And I hastily jumped into darkness with Connor at my side.

"Connor?" I said. "Do you want to take a walk- you know, to get it off our minds?" "Sure" he replied. I made him turn away while I got changed, and he did the same. And with that, we headed out the log cabin door. "So, what was you favorite class in Buffalo Prep?" He asked sheepishly. "Probably biochemistry." I replied. "Most people think dissection to frogs is really disgusting, but I actually find it quite fascinating." "well, I find it quite disgusting." Said Connor, in a mimic voice of me. Suddenly we heard crashing through the woods that came from near the main road. " They're all dead!" We heard. And soon a older woman came crashing toward us. her complexion was way off, and you could see all her terrible scrapes and re-opened scars. Her nose was way to the left, probably broken, and she had this maniac look in her eye like she had just stuck some juicy fruit gum in the long flowing hair of college Death. "I saw it all!" Soon, we had her inside, Connor tending to her wounds and me asking the questions. "So what actually happened?" I asked, hoping for a good long answer. "S-so I was taking m-my morning walk with my husband, w-when a large vehicle came speeding through the road. I tried to run, but i knew I couldn't make it in time, and my husband knew it too. He pushed me out of the way, and I knew he wouldn't make it. "And so i saw the car crash happen, and I knew I shouldn't do anything for it. So I came here, for help. But when I turned around? I saw a giant splash in the lake, along with several streaks of chrome." And then I realized it. "We have to leave now." I said. "It's getting dark, maybe we should wait until tomorrow." Connor suggested. So I let the hiker stay in my room, and I slept again with Connor. But I still wasn't sure about the hiker...
