The Ruins

~The Ruins:part two

Armed with their makeshift weapons, they decided to face the man outside.
Astrid cried out as the machete connected with her face, sending blood trickling down her cheek, while the life drained from her eyes,

The girls screamed and ran for their lives, but the man was too fast. He caught up to Amber and raised his machete to strike.
Kara saw from the corner of her eye and acted quickly.

She grabbed a nearby tree branch and struck the man in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground.
Astrid and Amber were able to escape, and they ran as fast as they could back to the cabin,
Amber: Oh my gosh, Kara, did you see that?!
Kara : Yes, I saw it. We have to get out of here!
Amber: But what about astrid?
Kara: We can't do anything for her now. We have to go before whoever killed her comes back.
Amber: I'm so scared. What if they come after us?
Kara: We have to stay calm and just try to figure out how to find the others.
(Amber sliding down the wall crying)
Kara: amber are you okay?
amber: I-I think so (with tears in her eyes) b-but Astrid OMG kara astrid sh-shes dead
Kara: (tears slowly falling down her face) I know, I know

Meanwhile, Tianna and Sasha Suddenly, stumbled upon an old ranger station. In the station, they desperately searched for a way to get help. They looked for a working phone or radio, but there was nothing.

Just then, they heard a noise outside. It sounded like someone was coming.
The girls had no choice but to stay and hide. They ducked behind an old dusty desk, hoping that whoever had come wouldn't find them.

The door creaked open and Tianna and Sasha could hear footsteps on the floor. They huddled closer together and held their breath. The man stepped inside and surveyed the room, Astrid blood still clanged to the machete. He looked around for a moment but then left without noticing the two terrified girls behind the desk.

Once the coast was clear, the girls ran out of the ranger station and back into the woods. They were relieved to be safe, but they still had no idea how to get back to the cabin.
Sasha: 'Where are we, Tianna? I'm so lost!'
Tianna: 'I don't know. We need to find that cabin somehow. I don't think I have ever been this scared before.'
Sasha: 'Me neither. How can we find it though? What if it's too dark to see anything?'
Tianna: 'We should try to find a landmark or something that could point us in the right direction. Maybe a river or a mountain?'
Sasha: 'Yeah, that's a good idea. Let's see if we can find anything that can help us out.'
Tianna: 'Okay, let's start looking. We should try to stay together so that we don't get lost again.'
Sasha: 'Alright, let's go.'

Tianna and Sasha were lost and scared, but they were determined to make it back. They decided to take the long way around, hoping to find their way back through the woods. The two girls held hands as they trudged through the forest.

As Siena was running through the woods, tired and scared, she saw a man ahead of her, staring at her. She tried to run but felt a sharp strike to her back.
She felt a machete and tried to pull it out, but the man was gone. Her heart pounded in her chest as she looked around, trying to find the man who had attacked her. Fear flooded her senses as she kept running, not knowing what was going to happen to her.

She was in unfamiliar territory and she had no idea where to go. Just when she thought she saw a way out, the man ran in front of her, blocking her escape. Before she could register what was happening, he raised an axe above his head and in one swift motion, brought it down on her skull.

She never even had a chance to scream. Her exitance had been ended in an instant. The man stood there, unmoving, the axe still dripping with her blood, the only sound was the faint rustling of the trees in the wind.

The man stood there, unmoving, the axe still dripping with her blood. He had taken her life in a single swift motion, his face contorted in a strange mix of bitterness and sadness. He had been driven to do so by a relentless force in his mind, a force that had been slowly growing in intensity until it had reached its peak.
The only sound that could be heard was the faint rustling of the trees in the wind, a reminder of the life that had been taken from him. He took one last look at her lifeless body, before turning away, his face expressionless and cold.
