"Caleb. I'm going to tell you the truth." I said to caleb while he was looking outside. "And what's that?" He asked me.
I have to tell him the truth. "You know that shadow figure? He was the one who called me, and he said if I called the cops he would hurt me." I said hoping he wouldn't be mad about me lying to him. "Well that isn't good. We have to take care of him then." He said to me with anger in his voice. Honestly, I can't tell if he is mad at me or at the stalker.
We went to my gun closet and grabbed a revolver and a semi-auto shotgun. We went to the woods and walked through them. Caleb cocked the shotgun and aim around as if we were surrounded. I brought my phone in case he called me again. Pow! A pole fell from a tree and landed on the concrete between us. We backed out of the woods. Caleb aimed his shotgun at the tree top and shot three times. We looked at the tree and the surrounding trees but there was nothing gone. "Where did the pole come from?" Caleb asked. I didn't know because obviously he wasn't in the tree. "I don't know." I told Caleb. Crunch! We turned around when we heard the noise. Nothing. Crunch! It came from the direction we were facing before. We turned around. The shadow figure was standing below a branch on the tallest tree. Caleb shot but missed. I shot the revolver. "Yes!" I yelled. Did I kill the stalker? We ran over there to see that the stalker was wounded but got away. "Crap!" I said loudly. If only I had shot him one more time. "A blood trail." I said to myself. "Follow me." I said to Caleb. We walked through the woods then saw a fence with barbed wire on the top so we couldn't climb it. Behind it stood a house. "It's time to kill my stalker." I said to Caleb.
