Hackett woods

Jacob- EMMA?!? Jesus Christ... *falls down a small cliff* FUCK!! Oh man... god, this sucks as- *hears a whisper calling him*.

Holy fuck, did that voice say Jacob?! It must be Emma trying to prank me again... I hope.

Jacob- Emma is that you?!

No answer... awesome, let's get into these creep-ass woods where OBVIOUSLY nothing bad is gonna happen... *gets on a bridge*. Better watch my step... those rocks are pointy as fuck... wait, is this a camera? *Picks a camera from the floor and takes the memory card* maybe there's something on here... *puts it in his pocket*.
Nice, here's the boathouse, hope the canoe I saw earlier is still here... *hears a whisper* damm it I keep hearing things, this night will drive me crazy... *turns around*.

Emma- AAAAHHHH!!!
Jacob- AAAAHHHH!!!
Emma- AAHHH!!
Jacob- AAHHH!! Oh God, Emma!! Jesus Christ... oh my god, no way, I'm glad to see you haha.
Emma- *Punches him on the nose*.
Jacob- *Falls down* Oh, Jesus Christ... AH!
Emma- You left me back there you asshole!
Jacob- Fuck, oh god Emma, come on...
Emma- What the fuck is going on?
Jacob- Look, I don't know, okay? Some like... bear attacked Nick and Abi back there.
Emma- Yeah, me too, but it definitely was NOT a bear.
Jacob- What? Who? When?
Emma- Why?
Jacob- Sorry I'm just... I'm glad you're okay.
Emma- Yeah, barely, I mean, that thing that attacked me at the treehouse was like...
Jacob- What? It was like what Emma?
Emma- Like... out of a horror movie...
Jacob- Okay um... well it was probably just like a-a bear! Trying to... defend itself!
Emma- No, don't be a dick, you know it wasn't a fucking bear!
Jacob- You're right, you're right, and now we have these fucking... the hunters, running over the place so that's a fun new wrinkle. They did THIS to me *points at his face*.
Emma- That's a lot of blood...
Jacob- Yeah, well, it's not mine.
Emma- Um... got quite the funky bouquet, no offense...
Jacob- Um, okay?
Emma- Okay, we've gotta get out of these woods.
Jacob- Yeah, no shit Sherlock.
Emma- You know, Jacob? You don't have to be a dick about literally EVERYTHING.
Jacob- Ugh, shit. Okay, you know what? You're right, okay? You're right, I'm sorry.
Emma- Ugh, you're so annoying...
Jacob- Oh my god, can we please not do this right now?! Okay, seriously? I literally came looking for you as soon as I heard there was something out here!
Emma- Or THINGS?! Like, plural.
Jacob- Wait, really?
Emma- Sshhh *hears a groan*. RUN!!!

Okay, okay, okay, something is running behind us um... FOLLOW YOUR FOOTSTEPS JACOB, TAKE HER TO THE LODGE!!! *Gets back to the bridge* I NEED the rest to be in the lodge like, PLEASE. *Watches a weird creature jump in front of them* Oh shit... okay, that's DEFINITELY not a bear... *avoids getting hitted*.

Emma- *Falls off the bridge, breaking the wooden handrail* JACOOOOB!!!
Jacob- SORRY!! *Runs down the bridge* SHIT, SHIT, SHIT!!

Is there somewhere I can hide... behind a bush and let's pray for it to have a pretty bad vision... *hides and holds his breath* is it gone? RUN, JAKEY, RUN!!! I'm so sorry for Em, I hope she's okay... if she could handle being chased by one of these things back at the treehouse, she can do it again, or that's what I hope.

Jacob- Ah, fuck... *falls down* SHIT!

Oh crap... is that a hog's head on a stick? That means... *stands up and looks around* bear traps... *steps on one by mistake*.

Jacob- AAAHHH FUCK!!! OOOHHH SHIT!!! UUUGGHHH, UUGGGHHH!!! *Tries to open it* Oh shit... UGH, FUCK!! Ugh, aaaahhh, shit!! *Looks at an old guy approaching* Look, you could-
Hunter- *Knocks him with the gun*.

23:00 | August 22, 2021 - Kaitlyn
Hackett's Quarry poolhouse

Dang it that's gross...

Kaitlyn- Is she like... one of those hunter dudes?
Ryan- I don't think so...
Kaitlyn- You okay?
Ryan- I don't know who that other girl was, I've never seen her before.
Kaitlyn- Me neither... but her? *Looks at the pool*.
Ryan- Yeah... that's... Kaylee Hackett.
Kaitlyn- Mr. H's daughter? I thought she went home with her brother.
Ryan- Kaylee... yeah... I thought so too.
Kaitlyn- Oh man... poor Kaylee...
Juls- Something is not right... Ryan told us before, he heard Mr. H talking to someone on his office's phone saying "he was cutting it too close", I think those were the hunters but... who was that blonde girl? Because if she killed Kaylee then she's not a hunter... so we DO have double menace.
Abi- Nick...
Nick- You smell so good.
Kaitlyn- You alright there bud? Maybe dial it back a bit huh?
Nick- Fuck off Kaitlyn.
Juls- Hey!
Kaitlyn- Woah...
Nick- *Gets closer to Abi*.
Abi- Nick, what are you-
Nick- *Whispers* I want to taste you.
Abi- Hey...
Nick- Come here.
Juls- Nick, stop it.
Abi- Nick what the hell... ugh, get off.
Juls- NICK, STOP IT, YOU'RE HURTING HER! *Tries to help Abi*.
Kaitlyn- Watch out!
Abi- I said get off! *Pushes Nick to the pool*.
Juls- *Helps Abi push Nick*.
Abi- *Looks at the pool concerned*.
Nick- AAAHHH, AHHH, UUUGGHH!!! AAAHHH!!!
Juls- Are you okay?
Abi- I-I just wanted him to stop.
Ryan- Nick, dude!
Kaitlyn- I got him *helps Nick get out of the water*.
Abi- What did I do?
Ryan- I-I don't know...
Juls- You did nothing wrong honey, be sure, he could've hurt you really bad...
Abi- *Touches Nick* He's so cold...
Juls- Nick *shakes him*. Nick dude, I need you to open your eyes please.
Ryan- Le-let's get him in the poolhouse and dry him off.
Juls- *Looks at the pool closely*.
Kaitlyn- Honey let's go, what are you looking at?
Juls- Nothing just... *gets inside*.
Kaitlyn- Hey, what are you doing?!
Juls- Just checking something out...
Kaitlyn- Inside a pool with a corpse?!?
Juls- Yeah, because if it was just a normal pool, I wouldn't need to check anything *looks at the corpse*.
Kaitlyn- Please get out of there, we need to help Nick.
Juls- Uhu... *gets out*.
