"Alright.. nobody panic," the Scottish girl started, "but I think there's a murderer in these woods.."
Everyone was shocked at her sudden accusation. Kenzie told someone to look outside, and Tezra was the first, being followed by everyone else.(except Kate, she was completely wasted and asleep on the couch) "Oh shit.." Cassidy whispered. Mei Ying called out to Chris, but to no avail. To avoid further panic, Tezra got everyone inside and sat them down, making sure not to sit on Kate. Trever was on the verge of another panic attack and Cassidy was trying to calm him down.
"Alright guys," Kenzie said, a slight tremble in her voice. "we need someone to go out there and look for Chris. We need all the survivors we can get."
"Or we can just call 911." Chassity shouted. "If we stay here a second longer, we're going to DIE. Our best bet now is to call someone to get us outta here, because I dunno about you, but I think I speak for all of us when I say.. WE DON'T KNOW THE WAY HOME." Kenzie sat there for a second before realizing that she was right. The only way they found the location was because of the GPS, and it took an hour to get there. "Okay, you got me there." Kenzie replied as she pulled out her phone.
"What the fuck." She stared down at her phone, which was broken beyond repair. "Who did this?!" She waved her phone around in the air, showing everyone the damage. Everyone denied it. Chassity stood up. She checked her pockets and then her purse. "No.." She muttered. "No, no, no, no.."
She sprinted to the closet and grabbed her bag. "FUCK!" She shouted, rummaging through hers' and others' bags. "Who the FUCK TOOK EVERYONE'S PHONES?!" She screamed at everyone on the couch, her voice cracking. Everyone denied once again, causing a few tears to fall from her face. "Look.." she said through tears. "I don't wanna die, and I'm sure no one else does either. We all have families to get back to, and I know that. We have an opportunity to get outta here, and that's calling 911 and escaping. So, please, if you have them and you're in on this sick joke.. just give us our phones back and let us go home.." She broke down in tears, holding her face in her hands. It was scary, seeing the tougher ones cry. Pluto jumped up and hugged her girlfriend, allowing her to cry into her chest.
"It's okay.. we're not gonna die." She whispered to her. "Our best bet now is to try and take down the killer. There's 8 of us and 1 of them."
"9." Kenzie said.
"Huh?" Pluto replied.
"There's 9 of us. Chris is still alive, and I know that. If we go find him, we'll have a better chance of taking the killer down."
"... You're right."
Since no one wanted to go, they decided to draw straws. Everyone sat on the couch and Tezra held the straws, allowing everyone to pick a straw.
"Uh oh.." Mei Ying whispered. She had gotten the shortest straw. "Alright, Mei. You've gotta go." Kenzie said, gently pushing her towards the door. "Wait, wait! I don't wanna go! I'm not as strong as you guys! I'm gonna die!-""I'll go."
Kenzie looked back at Chassity. "W-What?!" "I said, I'll go."
"But she has to go, she drew the shortest-" "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK BOUT NO GOD DAMN STRAW."
Silence. Kenzie didn't dare utter a word. Chassity took a deep breath and walked to the door, pushing the two out of the way. "If anyone's dying, it ain't gonna be my sister." She gave Mei Ying a wink and walked out into the darkness of the woods. Mei Ying looked back at Kenzie and then the door. All they could do was wait until she returned.If she even does return.
Waiting. Waiting. The clock ticks, every movement of the minute hand pounding at their hearts. Tick. Tock. The sound echoes in their ears. Nobody dares to move. Everyone stares at the door, watching, waiting, and listening. Mei Ying hid behind Pluto as if the killer would bust down the door. Trever was praying for her return and Tezra slowly crept away, too scared to be anywhere near the door. But though they were all doing different things, they all thought the same. "Please just let her come back."
Meanwhile, with Chassity...
The moment she left the cabin, fear washed over her. She should have just let Mei Ying go, but she'd never forgive herself if she died. Besides, she was the toughest one there. She's killed wild animals with her bare hands before, she should be able to take on a killer. Right?
She walked deeper into the woods, occasionally calling out to Christopher. As she walked further into the darkness, she noticed something odd. There were lots of twigs and leaves, and the trees were so thick that no light passed through them. She got lost in her thoughts until..
SNAP!
Her foot got caught in a bear trap. She screamed out in pain, loud enough for everyone back at the cabin to hear. Rustle.. rustle.. And the killer, too. She had to act fast. She gripped her hands around the bear trap and began to pry it open. Rustle.. rustle.. The steps were getting closer and the bear trap was barely budging. Her other option left was to grab her purse and whip out her gun. She reached for her purse and..
It was GONE.
"No.." She felt around, hoping that she had grabbed it before she left. "No, no, please.. I don't wanna die.." Rustle.. rustle.. They were almost there, and she had nothing to protect herself. She was left with the only option she was avoiding. She gripped the bear trap and with one final pull, snatched it open with all her might. She gave herself no time to scream, and she stood up, a stinging pain in her leg. She began running, ignoring the blood dripping down her leg and the immense pain. She ran around like a chicken with its head cut off until she found the cabin. She ran up to the door and began to scratch and slam on it, begging to be let in. "HELP!! PLEASE, LET ME IN!! PLEASE, I DON'T WANNA DIE!!"
Meanwhile, in the cabin...
"HELP!! PLEASE, LET ME IN!! PLEASE, I DON'T WANNA DIE!!" Screamed Chassity behind the door. Everyone froze. They didn't know if it was the killer mimicking Chassity's voice or if she was still alive and she was the one behind the door. They did hear her screaming, after all. "Chassity.." Pluto said loudly. "If that's really you, come to the window! Let us see your face!" Without hesitation, she ran to the window and began banging on it. It was Chassity. Pluto rushed to the window and began trying to open it, but it was jammed. She kept trying as the killer was getting closer. "Pluto, stop.." Chassity whispered. "No, I'm not giving up!" Pluto screamed, continuing to try opening the window. "Pluto." "NO!" "PLUTO!" She slowly looked up to see Chassity's tear stained face smiling at her. "I love you." Chassity said, holding her hand up to the glass. "..I love you, too." Pluto responded, repeating her actions. Just then, the hand of the killer crept up onto Chassity's face and covered her mouth, dragging her into the abyss. Everyone just stood in their places, Pluto and Mei Ying crying. Pluto kept her hand on the window, letting tears roll down her face. Everything was motionless, and the air seemed colder than before.
SMACK!
Pluto fell backwards out of fear as the killer slammed Chassity's once beautiful face into the window. She was dead. Gone forever. Her lips were torn off in a careless way and the skin on her fingers was gone, revealing the bones. Mei Ying screamed and rushed to the window to try opening it, being held back by Pluto and Cassidy. "NO!! SHE CAN'T BE DEAD! LET ME GO, LET ME SEE HER!"
The sound of Mei's pleading made the two holding her back cry. She'd lost her only hope, her support, and she didn't want to believe it. Finally, Mei Ying gave up and fell to the floor, still crying quietly as Pluto knelt down and hugged her.
"Just let me hug her one more time.."
Chassity Namaki-Yoshiko.
