It felt like an eternity but I had started to see the sun come up. I didn't dare to move though just in case it was still in here. I had finally heard the alarm clock go off. 10 am. I slowly turned around to see if the thing was still in here but all I could see was the blood of my best friend on the ground. I turn off the alarm as my eyes start to tear up again and I'm finally able to cry without being scared of that “thing”.
An hour later I got up and went to the kitchen to get something to eat before I faint. As I stepped into the kitchen I saw that the front door was still open. So I grabbed a bag of chips and went outside with kenzie's phone in my pocket unsure about everything that had happened that day. I could see the blood on the glowing white snow making a trail that I started to follow. Soon I turned around wanting to get some things just in case. I grabbed a knife, some chips and some granola bars just in case I got hungry, some water, a flashlight, a portable charger for kenzie’s phone, then I grabbed a small bag I had brought and put everything in there. 
I then walked back outside and started to follow the track of blood with tears filling up in my eye as I wondered what could have happened to her. I was walking for about an hour and then suddenly I heard snow crunching somewhere around me. I stopped, making sure it wasn't me and sure enough it continued when I stopped. I look around and see a boy in a black hoodie and gray sweatpants. I quickly turned around so he didn't see me but a few seconds went by and I felt something on my shoulder. I turn around to see the boy from earlier. I started to breathe heavily thinking it was him who took kenzie. “Are you ok?” he asked in a soft voice. “Who are you? what do you want?” I say pulling out the knife I had put in the side pocket of the bag.
“Woah! Woah! I'm not going to hurt you, calm down.” he says as he puts his hands in the air as he notices blood on the snow. “Wait, did you kill him?!” he shouts “what do you mean?” I am confused. “ The blood, is it rylee’s?” “This is my best friend's blood.” I say “who is Rylee?” “ my best friend.” he says  “my name is sam. I came out here with Rylee to a cabin and we have been here for a week. We were going to leave tomorrow but I woke up to a trail of blood going outside and him missing.”  “me and kenzie came the cabin two days ago and i woke up last night and saw the door to the bedroom unlocked that kenzie locked and i locked over and saw her sleeping up in the bunk, above her something was moving so i layed down to pretend i was asleep and about an hour later she got up and spoke asking me if i opened the door and then i heard a loud thump and her scream then heard something being dragged on the floor. when it was finally daytime i got up and started to follow the blood path now here we are.'' I say as I realize I started to cry again. “I'm so sorry that happened to you, that must have been traumatizing” he said hugging me.
