Still Not Bitten

In the Pines

In the pinessss in the pineeees where the sun never shines~

I love that song, honestly

But it does give off a creepy ominous vibe, low key °-°

(Y/N) paces around the living room table anxiously, Clement watching her from his spot on the couch and Sarah biting at her thumb nail.

"We should find the others," (Y/N) speaks up, shaking her head as she continues pacing. "Before that man comes back."

Clement nods in agreement, silently rising from the couch.

"What?!" Sarah squeaks out, frantically shaking her head. "We can't go outside!"

"We have to," (Y/N) replies, her eyes narrowed. "But you can stay here, where it's safe."

Sarah's eyes were wide with apprehension as (Y/N) opened the door leading out of the kitchen, Clement following. He grunts as he runs into her back, her having stopped as the back door was opened.

She quickly takes out her pocket knife, Luke blinking rapidly as he holds his hands up.

Luke smiles widely with relief, (Y/N) lowering the knife with a short exhale through her mouth.

"Clement! (Y/N)!" Luke happily greets, lowering his hands.

"Sarah!" Carlos catches Sarah in a hug as she runs up to him, breathing heavily.

"You both were with Nick, right?" Luke questions as he walks over to Clement and (Y/N). "We gotta go find him."

"A-- A man was here!" Sarah frantically speaks, pulling away from Carlos.

Carlos' eyes widen, his face falling. "What?!"

"What did she say?" Rebecca demands with a stern tone.

"Someone came to the cabin!" Sarah repeats, hugging her arms close to her body.

"What?!"

"Clement and (Y/N) talked to him!"

"And you just opened the door for him?!" Rebecca demands, glaring at the two.

Luke scowls, looking over his shoulder to her. "Calm down, Rebecca."

Rebecca snaps her glare to Luke. "Calm down?! I am calm!! You calm down!"

(Y/N)'s brows furrow as she huffs, folding her arms over her chest. "I tried to lock the door, but he forced his way in before I was able to!"

"Yeah!" Clement sides with her, his expression hardened. "We aren't idiots. Of course we didn't just open the door for him!"

"They're telling the truth!" Sarah backs up, nodding.

Carlos' pupils shift side to side as he grits his teeth, "did he say his name? Did he say what his name was?"

"M-- Maybe it wasn't him."

Alvin's face darkens in anger, "you know damn well who it was."

Rebecca seems to pale, shouting, "did he say his name?!"

(Y/N)'s brows raise at the sheer panic lacing her words, shaking her head. "He said it was George, but... I don't think that was his real name."

"George..." Rebecca repeats.

"Yup. George," Clement responds, his patience running low as his brow twitches.

Carlos grunts softly under his breath, "look, kids, just... Tell us what he looked like. What was he wearing?"
