Chapter 8 Bad decision (edited)

The first sunlight that tries to shine through the tight branches wakes you up. As soon as you stand up, you feel you have a headache. Your stomach rumbles. You are hungry. Now, you have to make a decision. Move on through the forest with hunger in the hope to find something, or go back to to the wooden cabin and maybe end up at the police station... After thinking for a few minutes, your vision at absolutely nothing but trees without any traces of human life and your hungry stomach make you decide to go back to Sean's brother and hope for the best..
You stand up and, not being sure where you came from, start walking in the direction you think is the right one.
Maybe it's because you aren't in panic anymore, but the distance seems to be way bigger than when you ran away from the house. You walk for a few more minutes, but you see nothing familiair. You stand still. Is this the right direction? You look to your left. Wasn't it.. that way? Or.. don't I have to go back? You feel a little panic comming up. You are lost in a forest in the middle of nowhere in a country you've never been before..

The sun is high in the sky if you finally find a spot you recognise. It is the place the birds flew away from as you approached. That means that you must be close. A few minutes later, you see the cabin. A wave of relief flows through your body. But as you walk towards the cabin, you feel nervous too. What kind of man is Sean's brother? Is he like Jack? If he is, he must be really nice... But if you stand in front of the cabin, trying to decide to knock on the door or not, a car approaches and you literally jump away and trip over your own feet to land behind a few boxes which stand next to the cabin. Your heart beats so loud, that you are afraid they can hear it. You hear a car door slamming shut and someone walks towards the house. The door of the cabin opens and Sean's brother walks out. You hear them talking, but you can't hear what they say. They walk away. You stand up. You must find a better place to hide. But as you walk away from your hiding spot, you hear them approaching. You are in panic and run to the first thing you see. The car. Lucky it wasn't locked and you jump on the back seat. They keep talking for a while. Ten minutes later, the front door opens and a dog jumps in on the front seat. From there it jumps to the back seat, and suddenly notices you hiding behind the front seat. The dog jumps down next to you and curiously sniffs your face and hands, before starting to lick them. "Go away!" You whisper and try so softly push the dog from you. "Gizmo! Come here on the front seat!" The dog finally loses interest and jumps back on the front seat. When a minute later you hear the engine starting, you realise going in the car was a very bad idea...
