Deluxe Babe

Five

Katherine and I get in the cab that's pulled up outside for us. We tell him where to go, and he gets us there fast. I pay him, and Katherine and I walk inside our hotel room. It's really nice, actually. There are to giant beds, which Katherine immediately lays in the one farthest from the window, claiming it. We make jokes and and small talk unsure if what else to do. Finally Katherine sits up, totally bored. "Wanna go for a walk?" I nod, so we get up and head out. We don't have a schedule, so we were just wander around aimlessly for a few hours. It's finally dark, and I know we should be heading back. I grab Katherine sleeve to tell her, but she moves away from me. "We can't leave yet. I want to go in the woods." She gestures toward a very thick woods area. I gulp quietly. "I dunno, Katherine..." "I heard people say that's its haunted. I wanna see if they're telling the truth or not." I hesitate, but then I nod. She smiles happily and grabs my hand, dragging me towards the woods. In them, it's dark and cold, and it smells like wet dog. I try to pull back, but Katherine has a good grip on my arm. We finally make it to the middle of woods. Katherine looks around and starts making weird bird noises. When nothing happens, she turns around and shrugs. I laugh and her stupidity. We start to walk back, side by side. All of a sudden, my head is pressed against someone's back and a rag to my mouth and nose. Not thinking, I breath quickly. I finally realize what the rag is and I hold my breath, but it's no good. The world starts to dim, and I sink into the arms of the person behind me.
