Part 4 |Roadkill|

Little did I know, someone else was there that night, someone was watching. Like an animal stalking its prey. Waiting for the perfect time to attack.

TW: ROADKILL

A knock on the window of the van woke me up, somehow I had slept through the bright sun beaming in the windows.

I opened the door, "morning," I smiled at Nick who had so graciously woken me up.

"Morning," he responded with a laugh, "it's like 2:30."

"Oh shit," I laughed as well, quickly getting up to help pack.

I heard Carly and Paige talking by the edge of the woods. "Oh my god there's that smell again," Paige said as I rounded the bushes.

"Honestly it doesn't smell as bad as it did last night," I said, but still plugged my nose.

"Really? I think it's worse," Paige's said, making the funniest disgusted face I had ever seen.

"I think it's coming from over there," Carly pointed deeper into the forest.

"Yeah, let's go follow the smell," Paige scoffed, sarcasm pouring over her words.

"I gotta say it Carly, Paige is right... why are we going toward the smell of death?" I asked genuinely as the smell continued to get stronger.

"What? I want to see what it is," Carly responded, putting a bit of pep in her step.

"Look I'm a curious person too but this is just getting gross," I practically whined. I was pretty sensitive with senses, light, touch, smell.

"Come on you guys!" Carly said not showing any sign of stopping, or even slowing for that matter.

"I cannot believe you're making me do this," Paige remarked, "only you."

"Come on. It'll be fine," Carly grunted.

Paige gagged, "I'm gonna throw up."

"Ditto," I added, swallowing back the rising stomach acid.

"Oh my god I hate you," Paige spoke plainly.

Carly just laughed it off saying, "seriously it'll be fine."

I started to choke on the horrid smell. "Don't-" I started but was cut off by Carly's screams as she fell down whatever hill was in front of her."-jinx it," I finished with a begrudging sigh.

"Carly!" Paige yelled, as we both tried to reach for her, but she slid too fast and too far down the hill.

Unluckily, she had found the source of the smell, or more rather landed in it. A roadkill pit.

"Paige? Y/N?" She cried out helplessly.

"Are you okay?" Paige called back to her.

"I'm stuck," Carly screamed fearfully, "Wade! Please help me get out of here!"

"Shit," I cursed, "Wade! Nick! We're down here!" I yelled for the boys as loud as I could.
